Warning

Online identity issue #94: the binaries in this historical release lack the corrected console-serial implementation. Keep them offline until updated. See issue #94 for corrected-build status and the server-history caveat. Do not reset identities or delete saves to work around a ban.

Android is now available separately with the correction in v0.4.10-android.1. The original release notes below are retained as historical evidence.

KartPad 0.4.9

This build fixes Apple mobile controller registration for local multiplayer
(issue #85), adds visible Player 1–4 assignments and face-button remapping on
iPhone/iPad, and provides multiplayer guidance and experimental private Wii-server
configuration across the Apple interfaces.

  • WPAD connection probes now recognize physical players without consuming the
    short A press used to register them. Controller callbacks sample immediately.
  • The Mac app now uses the same K-circuit icon artwork as iPhone/iPad.
  • The Multiplayer menu covers Original Mario Kart Wii and Retro Rewind. It
    explains local split-screen and the game's private friend-room flow.
  • A private Wii-server hostname can be saved for the next launch. This is
    experimental scoped client routing, not a hosted server or verified Original
    Mario Kart Wii online service. Exact backend authentication and race acceptance
    remain open.
  • DualShock 4/DualSense use the existing Extended Gamepad path. Controller Setup
    explains PlayStation button positions and allows face-button remapping.
    Original GameCube USB adapters are not supported on iPad by this update.

MeleePad-style room codes, native host/join, traversal, ready state and peer chat
are not included. See Multiplayer and controllers for the
precise supported paths, private-server contract and Android handoff.

The Apple TV build remains experimental. Android implementation is paused and
has not been merged, built or released as part of this update. Builds and
snapshot-controller tests do not replace physical multiplayer acceptance.

Game data is not included. The IPAs must be re-signed locally. No disc image,
extracted game assets, saves, signing identity or provisioning profile is
redistributed. Retro Rewind remains pinned to 6.12.7.
