Mario Kart Wii discussion

[Xiahou Ba]

Grumble Volcano got a lot better when it was replaced by Hot Top Volcano music from Diddy Kong Racing

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Many stages got better when the music is replaced.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

OC remixes of the music is better than the original

 

[YoshiGo99]

I liked a lot of the music in MKW.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Well, that's good. I liked Toad's Factory the most, but others were meh, IMO.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Some remixes are even better than the original:

Here's Mario Circuit SNES remix by OC Remix

[YoshiGo99]

They r good! The thing about the music for MKW is that there is different themes to certain parts of the course, like Moonview Highway and Wario's Gold Mine.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

And that's why I dislike them at the same time

Why?

They are 4+ channeled music, which makes them very difficult to replace

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Well, you just can't use Audacity for that.

 

[YoshiGo99]

O right it makes it hard to replace the music. Couldn't u change the textures of the course too?

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Yeah I can. It's just as easy as replacing textures on the vehicles

 

[YoshiGo99]

That is cool. have u done it yet?

 

[Xiahou Dun]

No, not yet. Well, I did it in Moonview Highway, but I have yet to see the changes.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

I don't really have any ideas and I'm not a really good texture guy, unless it involves recoloring

 

[YoshiGo99]

Couldn't u do texture swaps like use Rainbow Road textures in Wario's Gold Mine? Wouldn't that be easy?

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Yeah, I could do that. I can make it gold if I wanted to.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

The problem is, we modified a texture in Moonview Highway and we didn't see it yet

 

[YoshiGo99]

Oh, well what is very hard about hacking?

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I think the hardest part is to actually mod your Wii (and it isn't very hard), and some hacking requires trial and error and experimentation.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Plus, you have to download many stuff. And you need the Mario Kart Wii ISO

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Overall, though it isn't difficult. We had no clue what to do when we wanted to hack our Wii.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Getting the Mario Kart Wii ISO is the hardest part. Yeah

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Getting the Mario Kart Wii ISO is the hardest part. Yeah

Agree'd. I only want the ISO to replace stuff, but you know what kinds of people who gets things for free...

BTW, you can replace the title screen and the Wii strap thingy.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

The method of getting the ISO shouldn't even be described here, unless you plan to rip it yourself

 

[Flubber]

So you Wario haters, D) do you use custom character textures?
