Lighter, faster builds.

  • First build about 30% faster: 6 min → 4 min 18 s on a 24-thread PC. The launcher now carries the code generator ready-made (no more compiling it on your PC), and the compile step uses as many CPU cores as your memory allows instead of at most 8.
  • Game folder 342 MB → 157 MB. The readable source copy is now a setting (Advanced, or the Source code card), off by default.
  • 320 MB less after setup: the toolchain's installer archives are deleted once it's installed (existing installs too, on the next build).
  • No more console windows when refreshing the Mods tab, creating the desktop shortcut, or during builds.
  • The game plays exactly as before: the reference race is identical, frame for frame.

What's next: MKDSrust is becoming the complete modding tool for Mario Kart DS: readable source and assets without a compiler, a Toolbox tab, and mods that also run on a real DS. See the roadmap.
