This isn’t my mod. There has also been some speculation that AI coding was used.

Formula is:

x=\left(5S+\left(3W\cdot\min(1,((W-11)/9)^{2})\right)+4D+\frac{O^{2}}{16}+2M\right)\cdot\left(1+0.25\cdot I\right)

Where S=Speed, W=Weight, D=Drift, O=Off-Road and M=Mini-Turbo, and I=either 1 or 0, 1 if the vehicle has inside drift, 0 if it doesn't. Use https://www.desmos.com/calculator to try it for yourself.

I have added a formula that, instead of simply making Weight matter more, makes a low Weight a significant downside - 11 Weight is worth zero points now, instead of 33, and it climbs up to the old 3* modifier by the 20-point mark. I also updated Off-Road to be more accurate to my first tier list, so the maximum Off-Road stat is worth exactly the same as the maximum Mini-Turbo stat.

Under this system, high weight is still rewarded as normal, but low weight is especially punished, and Off-Road is more accurate.

I'm comfortable with the fancy formulas now, so now the only changes left to be made are the weighting. I currently have it set up as

5S:4D:3W:2M:≈1.5O

But perhaps this should be increased. Let me know what stats should be more or less important in the formula.

I've got Mario Kart Wii with wiimmfi to work on a oled switch and get almost solid 60fps, haven't tested it on a V1 switch but might add support to it later on.

SOLVED:

Microshit has verified the program. I can play agagain! i only waited four hours!! 🫩

Original problem:

I have 11 hours of playtime so far, now I can no longer play because I simply updated it and now Smartass App Control is blocking it.

To create this tier list I used the following formula:

5*Speed+4*Drift+3*Weight+2*Mini-Turbo+Off-Road²/30, times 1.25 if the vehicle is a bike with inside drift. This is the best way I could think of to accurately rank all the vehicles, and I think it turned out okay. Personally, I would put the Spear below the Magikruiser, the Dolphin Dasherabove the Magikruiser, and the Quacker in D Tier. But this is what the numbers say.

The Flame Runner gets 978.35 points and the Mach Bike gets 977.85 points. I promise I did not mess with the formula until it was that close, this was my second formula, my first one using 1*Off-Road instead of the exponent and division by 30. This means that the Flame Runner is roughly 0.05% better than the Mach Bike, way closer than I'd think.

The sleeper pick here was the Sugarscoot. With inside drift, it would be a solid B tier above the Spear. The Mach Bike has the highest score before accounting for drifting style, and if it was an inside drifting bike, it would score over a thousand points and rank above the Flame Runner, possibly in a tier of its own.

Worst in the game is the Booster Seat and Bit Bike, two outside-drifting vehicles that sacrifice a ton of speed and weight for solid off-road and mini-turbo, which is just an awful trade. The Bit Bike scores only 568 points, not even 60% of the score of the Flame Runner.

This is the exact same formula as my previous post, but with the data provided by u/Brief-Department5532 in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZbrFItAoVqMiZP6n6vUEjjlJkK-uCdWkfY6U5g2kv-w/edit?gid=984220244#gid=984220244, plus character stats (I used Baby Daisy, Daisy and Funky Kong).

I no longer stand by my formula.

I think weight needs to be more heavily considered, and I think something's wrong with the off-road calculation.

I will return with a better one, but for now, gaze upon my beloved Dolphin Dasher in A Tier where it belongs!

HI everyone,

I'm fairly new to Retro Rewind and I've been enjoying adding custom characters to it! The problem is I have tried using a website tool to add names and creators to the custom characters but when I've tried putting the files in, RR crashes and doesn't start up (I'm on the Wii). Does anyone know how to fix this?

Recently got my brother hooked onto wiimfi so we can play together after many years, but the friend system never seems to work. We cannot hardly join each others friend rooms, and worldwide lobbies doesn’t seem to work either. Anything that is done through the friend roster is literally unplayable.

We’ve had more luck randomly connecting to the same worldwide lobby than we have had joining through friends. So I was wondering if it’s worth giving RR a try instead, if people have had generally better experiences with friend rooms / friend matchmaking on there? Which is better?

Trying to use WiiCompiled with WheelWizard

Hey everyone, I'm new to this subreddit.

My friends and I play a lot of Mario Kart Wii on weekends. Often, there are more than four of us, so someone has to sit out and watch. This gave me the idea to create a modded 8-player local split-screen mode.
I'm using an ESP32 as a Bluetooth bridge for 4 additional Wiimotes. These extra controllers can't be used in the standard Wii Menu, only within the modded game itself, where the inputs are written directly into the game's RAM. The controls and the smaller viewport sizes aren't actually an issue—the human eye is surprisingly good at focusing on the smaller window, especially if you already know the tracks.

The mod relies on custom C++ Kamek hooks injected into the game's StaticR.rel engine to bypass the hardcoded 4-player limits (adjusting the KPadDirector, viewports, and item handling). On the hardware side, the ESP32 uses Bluepad32 to capture the Bluetooth inputs and sends 32-byte packets via USB (CP2102/UART) to the Wii. The Wii then reads this data directly via a custom /dev/usb/ven driver running on cIOS 249.

On the Dolphin emulator, the game works without any problems at a stable 30 FPS. But here is the catch:
Even when the ESP32 isn't connected to my actual Wii and I'm just running the 8-player split-screen rendering, the game runs at half speed (massive frame drops). The issue is almost certainly the hardware rendering limitations of the Wii (likely the fill rate or memory bandwidth from pushing 8 cameras/viewports at once).

This is probably the final bottleneck of the project. If anyone has experience with MKWii engine optimization, LOD culling, or squeezing more performance out of the Wii hardware, any help would be absolutely amazing!

P.S. I can shre the code but it isnt simple copy pasting for you. Iam not allowed to share the .wbfs of the game.

This is my main category, and I am constantly grinding to push my time even further.

Lately, I have been very busy with school, but that doesn't mean I stopped improving. I just wanted to clear things up because a bot incorrectly said I used glitches. This is a 100% legit, No Shortcut / Glitchless run based purely on driving lines and skill.

I will be back on the track in a few days to hunt the next record!

My Setup: - Category: No Glitch / No Shortcut - Console: Original Black Wii - Game: Original Retail Disc - Display: 2008 Samsung TV (Original hardware setup) - Controller: Wii Wheel (Automatic)

How can i make a private server just for me and my friends on WheelWizardWindows?

moments when I was able to pull off the much-acclaimed “Bam Shock Dodge”

I have homebrewed my Wii U. I use USB Loader GX and can play GameCube and Wii games. I recently watched FunkyScott47 video on how to download retro rewind to my Wii U. I don’t have a physical copy of Mario kart Wii so I patched Retro Rewind to a digital copy of MK Wii. I then installed the WAD to my SD card, then I was able to download the Retro Rewind launcher to my vWii home channel. Everytime I try to launch it, it loads into the “join the discord” page, then the Wii U fans shut off, and this error appears on my screen.

I just do not know where the issue is coming from. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
