v0.5.2: Windows quick-update fix
⚠️ Who can use the quick-update QR code, and who has to build
| You are… | What to do |
|---|---|
Built your game with v0.5.0 or newer (Windows, Mac or Linux) and copied build/release/sd-card/3ds to your SD card |
✅ Scan the QR code below. No rebuild needed. |
| Built with v0.4.1 or older | ❌ The QR code will NOT work. Download the builder below, build again, install the full CIA and copy the SD folder. |
| Never built the game | ❌ The update is not the game. You must build it yourself from your own USA Mario Kart Wii disc (RMCE01) with the builder below. |
| Built with v0.5.0 or newer but never copied the SD folder | ❌ Copy build/release/sd-card/3ds to the root of your SD card first. The update replaces the game's built-in files, so it needs that folder. |
Not sure which version you built with? Build again with this builder: it always works.
📱 Quick-update QR code (v0.5.0+ builds only)
In FBI: Remote Install → Scan QR Code, then scan this. Only for people who already built v0.5.0 or newer and copied the SD folder.
What's new
- Fixed: Windows builds were refused by the v0.5.1 quick update ("game files are from a different builder"). Games built on Windows with v0.5.0 or v0.5.1 now work with this update: no rebuild needed.
- Fixed: crash when closing the game
- Fixed: race-start sound on OK, and no hop/drift sounds after finishing (thanks DarthMDev)
- The update shows what's new once, on the first launch
