Builder reliability release. The zips contain the builder only: no Nintendo files and no CIA.

Downloads

  • macOS: MKW-3DS-Builder-v0.3.5-macOS.zip, then double-click Build MKW CIA.command
  • Windows: MKW-3DS-Builder-v0.3.5-Windows.zip, then double-click Build MKW CIA.bat

Fixes

  • Windows no longer needs clang++. The menu step used to compile a helper with clang++, which most Windows PCs don't have; its result now ships with the builder.
  • Updating in the same folder now works. Each step remembers which version of the code made it, so steps that changed in an update are redone. Previously an update could skip them (e.g. the 12-vehicle conversion).
  • Readable Windows logs. build-cia-log.txt is now normal UTF-8 text (it was UTF-16, with spaces between every letter), and progress shows as it happens.
  • Building on any drive: packaging falls back to copying files on drives without hard-link support (exFAT/FAT32 USB drives).
  • Clear message when the disc path doesn't exist.
  • Time Trials: best times now save even if the 3ds/mkw-3ds folder doesn't exist on your SD card.

Stopped partway on an older version? Extract v0.3.5 over the same folder and run it again. It continues from where it stopped.

Still the USA version only (RMCE01, a normal .iso or .wbfs). Europe support is tracked in #11.

Known issues

  • Some players report a crash in the first race; please open an issue with your console (Old/New 3DS), Mac or Windows build, course/character/vehicle, and a photo of any Luma error screen.
  • 50cc, 100cc and Mirror are not available yet. Battle and Team VS are in progress.

Please don't share built CIAs. Full credit to dudewhat for the original port.
