Incredible ! I trust in you and in your talent.

Is this going to be a level editor!?! Either way great work so far!

Here all gs code for Widescreen : pal (1.0, 1.1), japan (1.0,1.1) and US version.
And gs code for all character co-playable for pal and us version.

I see that this thread has been inactive for a few months now. I have some data that I wish to share that was documented by zzt32/Marshall.

​Player data

Pointers to the 8 individual drivers are at 0x800DC4DC. Each driver structure appears to be 3544 bytes long.
Code:

struct mk64_player
{
   float unkn;
   u32 u1;
   u32 u2;
   u32 u3;
   u32 u4;

   float x, y, z;
   u16 u5;
   u16 rotation;

   float unkn;

   float x_accel, y_accel, z_accel;
};


​Map data

The code that processes the DMA and decompression of map files is dynamically loaded.
Code:

For the record, he loaded the first track of the first series.

​Storage

The map data array begins at 0x802B8D80. The records are 48 bytes each. The structure appears to follow this format:
Code:

struct mk64_map_data_t
{
   unsigned rom_start;
   unsigned rom_end;
   ...
};



====================================
A code he made to log the DMA controller which was assembled (iirc) with his program Galatea.

Edit: I also know that Mario Kart 64 uses F3DEX2 instead of F3DZEX, however the two are evidently nearly identical. With that said, here is an informative wiki page for the F3DZEX microcodes.

Any notable progress on this to report?

I'm going to guess not. The last update to the Github project was right before October, and I haven't heard anything.

I'm still willing to help out if anyone wants to give it a try, but I've got enough on my plate trying to work with Starfox64 and LoZ:OoT.

The progress on this is incredible! I really hope we can get a level editor sometime soon!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with other projects. If I pick this up again I think it would be best to start porting/rewriting the level viewer into an environment more suitable for a full blown level editor. In-browser Javascript isn't great for file management and I wouldn't want to inconvenience people with downloading something like node-webkit as it's somewhat esoteric.
My threads are now being maintained here

Hey guys, I found this forum searching for progress on a level editor. I'd be willing to pay for a level editor if anyone has the ability to get one done. I don't have the skill to make it happen, but if anyone can devote the time to getting something together let me know what features you might be able to include and what you think a fair price would be. Even something as simple as the ability to drop walls on stages like rainbow road or banshee boardwalk would be an awesome way to add some variety to existing levels.

I'm most interested in the ability to alter levels in vs mode above anything.

Thanks!

I'd also contribute towards someone investing their time in this project.
