MK64 Portable 1.5

Bug-fix release for everything reported on 1.4:

• The star works: the kart cycles through its colours while it lasts, and a lightning strike flashes it as on the N64 (#15)
• Results screen: every rank digit sits on its own portrait (the 5th place digit had drifted a slot to the right) (#14)

Install: unzip and drag the MK64Portable folder into PSP/GAME on your Memory Stick, then put your Mario Kart 64 (USA) ROM next to EBOOT.PBP. Upgrading from an earlier version: just replace EBOOT.PBP; the first start rebuilds the cached game data from your ROM (a few seconds) and your save is kept.

MK64 Portable 1.4

Bug-fix release for everything reported on 1.3:

• Luigi Raceway and Wario Stadium: the stadium TV screens show a live picture of the race, as on the N64 (#11, #12)
• Royal Raceway: the dash pads show their red and yellow chevrons scrolling in the direction of travel (#13). The same fix covers the other scrolled textures: the DK's Jungle Parkway river, the Koopa Troopa Beach waterfall and the Banshee Boardwalk water
• Memory: 686 KB of unused memory is freed and spare RAM now stays with the system instead of an unused C heap, so the PSP-1000 has more headroom

Install: unzip and drag the MK64Portable folder into PSP/GAME on your Memory Stick, then put your Mario Kart 64 (USA) ROM next to EBOOT.PBP. Upgrading from an earlier version: just replace EBOOT.PBP; the first start rebuilds the cached game data from your ROM (a few seconds) and your save is kept.

MK64 Portable 1.3

Bug-fix release for everything reported on 1.2:

• Moo Moo Farm: the road textures are correct (#1)
• Pause menu dims the race instead of going black; menu fades in and out again (#2, #7)
• The race HUD can be cycled with a Select tap: map, positions, speedometer (#3)
• Lightning flashes the screen instead of blacking out the sky (#4)
• Game-select screen shows the GAME SELECT banner and the OPTION / DATA buttons; L and R open them (#5)
• Trophy textures are correct (#6)
• Royal Raceway dash pads and the Bowser's Castle Thwomps use their proper mirrored textures (#8, #9)
• Rainbow Road: no black box under the kart, yellow star guardrail, and the neon signs after Peach's draw correctly (#10)
• Distance fog is drawn on courses that use it

Install: unzip and drag the MK64Portable folder into PSP/GAME on your Memory Stick, then put your Mario Kart 64 (USA) ROM next to EBOOT.PBP. Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.2: just replace EBOOT.PBP; the first start rebuilds the cached game data from your ROM (a few seconds) and your save is kept.

MK64 Portable 1.2

The race HUD and the menus are no longer stretched: they keep their original proportions, with the HUD anchored to the left and right screen edges and menus centred over the full-width backgrounds.

Install: unzip and drag the MK64Portable folder into PSP/GAME on your Memory Stick, then put your Mario Kart 64 (USA) ROM next to EBOOT.PBP. Upgrading from 1.0/1.1: just replace EBOOT.PBP; your data/ folder keeps working.

MK64 Portable 1.1

True widescreen: single-player racing is now rendered with a 16:9 field of view, so the PSP screen shows more of the track instead of a stretched 4:3 picture.

Install: unzip and drag the MK64Portable folder into PSP/GAME on your Memory Stick, then put your Mario Kart 64 (USA) ROM next to EBOOT.PBP. Existing data/ folders from 1.0 keep working; just replace EBOOT.PBP.
