Mario Kart Wiicompiled + Retro Rewind | Trailer

YouTube Mario Kart Wiicompiled + Retro Rewind | Trailer

preview

We are so back! This is my kind of Nintendo Direct. Hombrew just does what Nintendont.

Decompiled Mario Kart Wii native on Linux (meaning 4K 120Hz) and all that cool stuff coming with it.

And RetroRewind a Mario Kart Wii Custom Track Distribution including all previous Courses and some of the later ones included as well as a reverse engineered server (which seems to be down right now for maintenance). Devs are also very active.

They did honestly perfected the physics and some of the item weights in Mario Kart 8, but I suppose I can live without it, especially the minute long invincibility frames. Its still in Beta but am looking forward trying this out later today.

EDIT: I think I misunderstood :( Its too separate things, but two really cool things! And they do seem to be working on getting RetroRewind run in Wiicompiled! As I said I have to take look myself first.

Nuances?! on MY Fediverse?! tbh im also mostly with Linus and also do not expect his PRs to drop in quality, because of it. He does sometimes say weird things regarding AI though, like that its a great way for upcoming developers to learn and I do not think that is really true, but again: Nuances. I myself keep AI usage minimum and in the constraints of a chat bot, not because its not useful but because I dont wanna get stupid :(

Congrats on the wish-lists looks like they are well deserved. It does not look like my cup of tea, but wish you best of luck for the upcoming release!

Yea I got it to work. (Not the wiicompiled part though)

I have downloaded both wheelwizard as well as dolphin through flathub. Dolphin even provided their own flathub repository which I used. https://dolphin-emu.org/download/?ref=btn#flatpak

With flathub its a bit weird as it lives inside a container in the .var folder. But luckily WW found the path for me so I did not have to look it up myself.

Im not sure if it told me to find the .exe as well, but it would really weird if did. I can look up the path later.

Depending on your distro you can also use the package manager on debian/ubuntu its called dolphin-emu

I did not get the decompilation to work though i have read that there should be an option under some kind of “experimental” category but did not find anything like that and looking through the sources it seems like its hidden away for now. I did notice that Wiicompiled got a linux release today just some hours ago! https://github.com/patchzyy/Wiicompiled/releases/tag/v0.2.26 I will try that later.

Nintendo really does not have any legal basis to be able to kill it. Not a single asset is made by Nintendo. But then again it should be the same with emulators, but they still managed to do that again just a short while ago. https://www.xda-developers.com/nintendo-reportedly-takes-down-400-switch-emulators-massive-github-purge/

But I think this is mostly because Microsoft just does not care, and if a big company comes knocking they are siding with them to get it over with instead of looking what exactly the legalities are.

I am using a Braun Series 5 (Made in Germany) and used it since 2018 without a problem. Threw it on the counter (dont ask me why)just last weekend it fell apart into its pieces but nothing broke, you can still get replacement parts.

You probably can’t get that exact model but Braun (2018) is the best recommendation I can give RN.

I really like the clean UI, more curated list of community and focus on discussions. Many want to emulate reddit and their niche comms. But thats just impossible with the user base we have on here right now. I would prefer having just a handful of generic comms like. technology, food, meta, science, entertainment… still really enjoy it on here its the best attempt at decentralised social media.

I think you mean ladybird, right? Just FYI The core maintainer is very close to the alt right open source sphere. Rejecting inclusivity as he deems it as too political and just rubbing shoulders with really weird guys.

There is servo though which is picking up speed lately, im following their rss for a while now. https://servo.org/ The money behind is also a lot more public and the project is more open to people. originally developed internally at mozilla it is now in the hands of the linux foundation europe.

You mean that in reference to Wiicompiled? I never Decompiled anything myself, but from the videos I have seen about it it does look rather tedious to push bits around all day long until they match. AI is kinda made for the job. Sure it makes it far less special than it to be a group effort, but it works. I just hope the models, maps and everything else are handmade.

I might have lied in my post, sorry :( it seems to be two separate things, for now at least. They are working on bringing the Mod to the Decomp though. Still cool and the decomp should be playable as a standalone even if its still a beta.

Yea, if it would have been only the em dashes, I would not have shared it but it was also committed by Claude which heightens the possibility of the text also being generated I think.

Welcome to the last human holdout on the world wide web.

I believe Boost Has Ads right? Im using Summit by @idunnololz@lemmy.world and its phenomenal. It has no ads and is highly customisable or at least the parts you would want to customise are. Its UI is up to date and feels right at home with the rest of Android Apps. Maybe you can give it a try, or not if Boost works for you. :)

Spotify does that for a while especially for playlists that are played in the background where you do not actively listen to generate lots of plays. That way they do not have to give artists as much money as their own cut they take for themselves grows. If you go through background playlists https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX4Oe8zprVH3z most of the “artists” have little to no background information. If these are also from spotify we probably never know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_over_fake_artists_on_Spotify

I do not get the downvotes. We are not talking about wage slaves for amazon here (where it would obviously apply) but software developers for meta. They most likely have tons in savings they could use and with a resume that gave them the current job I really doubt they are out of options. The current job market is bad Im well aware of that, but its also not like FANG turned evil just yesterday. But in the end its also best to not fight among ourselves.

Especially if it comes to security. Hate AI like nothing else but you can’t deny the truth.

Linux is open source with all its code public with probably a docent of AI Agents constantly trying out different attack vectors, they will eventually find a vulnerability. It also does feel like there are more critical CVEs in recent times. (there is https://app.opencve.io/statistics but i feel like its too simple and context matters alot here but still).

I think its okey and actually a good thing if the kernel maintainers would have some AI helping them out with that sort of thing if we get a more secure kernel in return.
