Mario Kart Wii discussion

Doesn't that cost money, though?

It does, but it's for one year, so it's pretty much a good deal.

I'm also looking to texture hack, but when I found out you need an ISO for it, I found one. The problem is the ISO is 4.3GB, which is pretty big to download with UTorrent.

I did it, though. All you need is patience

OR, you can get the ISO legally by installing it onto a USB device with a USB Loader program.

I attempted to get set up, but I gave up and downloaded the ISO instead

 

[UltimatePetey]

Me too. Anyway MNSG once I get the ISO loaded I wanna use some of your textures. They're really cool XD

 

[Ray Trace]

You can also make them yourself. It's not too difficult. I got myself in the game. Yay.

Be my guest, though you will have to follow the text documents to figure out how to import the BRRES archives that are included in the downloads.

 

[UltimatePetey]

I tried doing that today. Do you have to convert the BRRES to .SZS file? It probably didn't work since I didn't have an ISO.

 

[Ray Trace]

Well, for me, all you have to do is extract the textures, then replace the current textures using SZS Modifier

 

[UltimatePetey]

So the character textures are in the ISO?

 

[Ray Trace]

Everything in Mario Kart Wii is in the ISO

 

[UltimatePetey]

Ok, let me see if I get this straight.

In the Texture Hacks from MNSG, it is a .zip folder, which I extract and has the stuff on it. I delete the character texture for the character I want to texture hack and replace it with the folder from the .zip file?

You actually have to import the BRRES files into the SZS files. The TPL files require you to decompress the proper SZS files, and then use a hex editor to replace the proper textures. Afterwards, you recompress the decompressed file.

No need to delete it, just replace it

 

[UltimatePetey]

Then where do I keep the original texture?

 

[Ray Trace]

Create a back-up of it.

 

[UltimatePetey]

Ah ok. Thank you.

 

[Ray Trace]

Well, whenever you extract something from your ISO, the original files will always be there for you. You'll need Wiiscrubber, BTW, to extract the szs files

 

[YoshiGo99]

My friend and I just couldn't figure anything out for hacks so we just stopped but we're still leaving the Homebrew Channel on my friend's Wii. Also I raced a hacker!

 

[Ray Trace]

Oh crud, that sucks for you.

 

[YoshiGo99]

Well it doesn't matter we r using the action replay for the DSi

 

[UltimatePetey]

Hey BLOF. I finished the download for the ISO and there is some WinRar things I can extract along with other things. Do I do that?

 

[Ray Trace]

WinRar can't open the ISO. Download Wiiscrubber for this.

 

[Flubber]

Ok MCS, am I good? : >

 

[UltimatePetey]

I have to download a different ISO this time. Wiiscrubber probably didn't work cause the first ISO I did was a MultiROM.

 

[MCS]

Ok MCS, am I good? : >

You're alright. You unlocked everyone, right?

 

[Flubber]

Yes. And I have winning record 5-0 against you :S
