Mario Kart 64 Hacking General Discussion

[mib_f8sm9c]

Drew: I'm still figuring out the tires. My current theory is that each frame of the animation has 4 different wheel palettes to simulate the wheels moving. They're definitely not random, but I haven't had the time to figure out how it works yet. BTW I'm going to throw out a version of Pitstop either tonight or tomorrow that will be the first alpha test for the character importer, you seem like you're ready to pounce on it so let me know if you need any help with it.

MA1989: No idea, sorry. I imagine it's too much to process for the N64, but I imagine that if someone was able to hack 2-p mode into Super Mario 64, then it would be possible to have 3/4-p GP mode in MK64, though making it work on the actual hardware will probably never happen.

EDIT: Oooh, new subforum! I'll make a new thread for the Pitstop release when I finish it.
