Mario Kart Second Circuit is a rom hack of Mario Kart DS, that was started back in the Summer of 2014, back when it was called by the long name of "Mario Kart DS N64 Circuit". It is meant to be somewhat of an unofficial sequel to the Game Boy Advance game, Mario Kart Super Circuit, and when finished will include, but not be limited to: - New unlock-able characters(All 8 default characters will be the same, since they were in Mario Kart 64) - Completely new Nitro Courses, under the name "MK2C GP" - Every single Mario Kart 64 course remade(including those that were already in Mario Kart DS, eventually), under the name, "Ultra GP" Here is a link to the playlist of videos of Mario Kart Second Circuit, if you want to see how much it's progressed since 2014, and since I'm too lazy to create YouTube video embeds in this post. MK2C Playlist And a link to the rom on the hack store: Download v1.5 Well, here we go again. Here is the original first post of my N64 Circuit Thread, with slight modifications. Mario Kart DS N64 Circuit is a MKDS ROM hack I started in either May or June of 2014. Here is a list of things that will be in the hack when finished: - All completely new nitro courses - All retro courses replaced with N64 courses in corresponding slots. - All music replaced - Custom Characters made by me and some others(not all will be replaced) - New Title screen picture - All 4 N64 Battle Stages, and 2 new Battle Stages. Most of the stuff I'm having trouble with moving Banshee Boardwalk to the sky garden slot without it causing the game to stutter severely at the part with the cheep chomp jumping from the water. |

I'm waiting to add Rosalina until there is a release of an animated model on the hack store, but that is fine if you want to do that. And the desert GCN Luigi Circuit is a placeholder until I get N64 Kalimari Desert added. |

I used Sketchup and Blender to make the cliffs on N64 KTB look more natural, and I have to say, I kind of like these more than the v1.5 version of N64 KTB.

It is actually lower than the v1.5 one. v1.5: 1,886 v1.6: 1,815 I know that it isn't much, but it is still lower. But it still needs to be lower to prevent slowdown. |

| Arctus 64 | Quick little update, I was watching the KTB 1st-8th HUD glitch video and then I realized that I might have made a mistake in what objects cause the beeping sounds, the only one that was the culprit was Object 0A00, so I wound up deleting a necessary object that is present in all of the courses, Object 0800, thinking that it was a part of the annoying beeping sound effect. I will be testing this idea on Monday while I'm at school. |

| SGC Yellow | It's a lot better than the first one, some of the notes between the beginning, and the middle are still a bit out of place, but not as many as the first version, which was more quite. It's a good thing that it's louder, the first one was too quite, and because of that, it didn't really fit in well with the mood of the race, but this is a lot better. |

Those look really nice, I like what you did with the 1st-8th Icons. Well, I don't think I'll import them into the game until I get my computer back, because it has GIMP, and since this particular tile sheet has a pretty large amount of colors, I'll need to set the maximum color range to 256 colors using GIMP. |

Well, I usually use NSMBe to import things like graphics that have multiple palettes, such as the HUD graphics, but if you feel the need to help out with this part using a method of your own, feel free to do so, although, if I wanted to, I could just download yy-chr to my SD card, or even download GIMP onto my sister's laptop(although, I don't really see the point in doing so since I'm getting my computer back at the end of the month anyway). |

|
| Arctus 64 | MKDSCM to modify the palettes, NSMBe for importing the graphics, and GIMP to index the image so that I had a palette to work with in MKDSCM. The only reason that Link's post race icon looks like that is because I plan on changing the model anyway. |

I see , so you use that method. Did you found a way on fixing this by any chance?  The only problem i have with the NSMBe method is the fact that this specific file doesnt seem to look properly unlike the CSS pictures. No matter the tiles or etc. |
| Author |
Posted on 2016/11/22
#2545
|
| Arctus 64 | That is because of the different tile length of the images. If you go to the same amount of tile length in the post race images as the css images, the last column of tiles is placed below the first four columns, and are arranged in the following order, top, top middle, bottom middle, bottom. That is, if I'm remembering correctly, since it has been a couple of months. |

I apologize for not posting in the thread since August, but here are videos I've uploaded since my last post. It's a wonderful course! However, since the mini map is incomplete, I would like to cooperate in making mini maps. There are several problems to create. · Large course which can not be created in mini map · Course that protruded from mini map In such a case, you have to move the 3D data of the course. |

I apologize for not posting in the thread since August, but here are videos I've uploaded since my last post. Making a mini-map work by moving the level model is actually going to over-complicate things, since all that really needs to be done is to shift the mini-map coordinates in the arm9, which is easier said than done anyway. So right now, mini-maps aren't that high of a priority for me, as they are less important than making sure that the course actually works, but are still important nonetheless, and will probably be the last thing I do for any of the courses. |

I still need to finish UV Mapping the off-road sand, as well as a few walls here and there. And as for the background hills, those are based on something I noticed in an MK64 instruction manual, that seem to resemble hills, as seen here.

A video of New Rainbow Road, and its new minimap, as well as updated music. Also, N64 Circuit is now known as Mario Kart Second Circuit, or MK2C, since it's less of a mouthful, and still makes sense, since MK64 is the second Mario Kart game. |
