MKDD-NX 1.7.0

Wi-Fi multiplayer (LAN mode)

  • The game's LAN mode, between Switches on the same Wi-Fi network: no cables or adapters. Turn on Multiplayer > LAN play on each Switch, restart, then pick Wi-Fi mode on the title screen. See LAN Play.
  • Standard game only (level pack OFF). Every console needs this version.
  • The LAN play page shows this console's address, the link (consoles found, round trip, lost packets), and LAN peer for networks that block broadcasts. The FPS counter shows the link too.
  • A pause screen in LAN races (Continue / Quit). The race carries on behind it, and Quit goes back to the title screen.
  • During LAN play, cheats, laps, any kart and battle CPUs stay off on every console, so all of them play the same race.

Multiplayer

  • Two players side by side: split screen left and right instead of top and bottom, with a HUD laid out for it (Multiplayer > Split screen; can be changed mid-race).
  • Better frame rate in multiplayer races.
  • Changing Camera view in the menu now changes every player's camera.

Mods

  • RTGP Baby Mode 1.4 and RTGP Classic 1.4, the alternate versions of Retro Track Grand Prix on its GameBanana page (Baby Mode 1_4.xdelta, Mario Kart Double Dash RTGP Classic OST 1_4.xdelta). They install on the Switch like 2.1, each has its own saves, and X / Y turn the cup pages. See Retro Track Grand Prix.

Custom characters

  • 30 characters a page: a third row on the select screen when extra characters are installed.
  • The slot overwrite limit is gone: a custom character and the character it plays as can race together, and so can two custom characters of the same one. Each has its own model, HUD face, map icon and voice.
  • Random (L + R) can pick from every page.
  • The page number and the X / Y buttons show in the title banner, and empty cells are skipped.
  • A mod's own select screen poses are used.

MKDD-NX Tools

  • New: Convert WiiMK Characters (beta) turns a Mario Kart Wii driver (.szs) into a character, with a preview you can turn. Drivers only, not karts, and Mii outfits aren't supported. See Wii Characters.
  • Export MKDD Characters (formerly Characters) handles more of a mod: a face rendered from the model when it has none, its select screen poses, and its name tags in other languages. A one-character mod's special item and karts are kept for later.
  • Battle Routes: Cancel on the start question goes back.

Fixes

  • Exiting the app or Restart now is more reliable: the app frees its threads and network memory before handing back to the homebrew menu.

Assets

  • MKDD-NX.nro: the app.
  • MKDD-NX-Tools.exe (Windows), MKDD-NX-Tools-arm64.dmg (Mac, Apple Silicon) / MKDD-NX-Tools-x86_64.dmg (Mac, Intel): the companion tools. These appear a few minutes after the release, once GitHub has built them.
  • update.txt: for the in-game updater of older versions.
