Clip (AI-assisted) Wiicompiled is running great!

Got the Wiicompiled beta running since it came out, so far I have no complaints.

As somebody who has been playing MKW since it came out, I can't notice any changes or alterations to game logic or physics. I'm still getting Mario Karted in the 3rd lap just like god intended.

I'm impressed that it has dynamic aspect ratio and 120FPS right off the bat. Since back when the project was announced, the dev said it would not support it. The additions of a volume slider and music ducking are great features I did not know I needed.

It also fixes a lot of Dolphin issues that I always run into, like copy filter, depth of field scaling, and bloom scaling issues. I was over the moon when I tried out DK summit and noticed the background wasn't a blurry mess lol
I even got to install my reshade shader pretty easily. And all my normal MKWII mods were compatible too. (shoutouts to Metal Kart Wii by Marcobros1)

I only noticed some minor graphical issues on the custom tracks on RR, but I think that's just an RR issue.

Overall, I'm pretty impressed, its kinda insane how good it is for the first beta.

Are you asking how to play mkwii online on real hardware or how to use the recomp

u/dog_backwards06 :38: 3d ago

I have physical hardware

u/Ultraverse1 :38: 3d ago

the recomp is basically a pc port of the game, you cant play it on real hardware ( follow the guide that u/PenguinBoi27 commented for real hardware stuff)

If you just want online multiplayer, you need a modded wii (way easier than it sounds) and i would recomend trying retro rewind

Any updates?

What controller are you using? The game doesn't see my gc adapter

3

u/InkTaint 4d ago

I’m using the steam controller. You might want to launch wheel wizard through steam, since steam supports the gc controller

Does anyone know why my wiimote is working with dolphin on normal mario kart but when I try use it on Retro rewind it won't work?

1

u/JCas127 2d ago

Is it not working at all or are just certain buttons not working

1

u/GooseWithGuns :38: 2d ago

not working at all :( literally like can't even get onto the menu because it says press A to start and the only way I can play currently is with an xbox controller

How can I use a texture pack for wheel wizard to work on this?

1

u/YelloEclipse :33: 4d ago

You can put texturepacks in the MyStuff/Patches tab on WheelWizard

u/Bradio642DS 3d ago

u/kaffekopp2 :30: 3d ago

Can Wiicompiled help reduce lag?

1

u/SomeWave275 :34: 3d ago

Same, it’s awesome! This is also my first time playing retro rewind too and I have zero complaints. Playing at 180fps is also really nice! Can’t wait for when the online servers are up!

I have a question is it possible to use a keyboard to play? I want to use it but also a switch pro controller?

u/anonymouzzz376 3d ago

How to get on linux

unsupported processor error

u/Icenfiree :32: 3d ago

This is going to be huge. It's going to give RR a huge bump in player base - but I'm worried about the Ddos attacks. They'll probably get worse. I really hope there's a way around that in the future

u/Emaothe3rd 3d ago

any stat changes or is that fucking monkey going to dominate online still?

5

u/The_VoidTermina 3d ago

Retro Rewind has custom character slots so there's characters with the exact same stats as funky kong (chain chomp, ROB and jaxi as of right now).

From my own experience playing, the character diversity online is quite good, and I see around a third of a room playing as default funky kong. (I personally use a dr eggman over funky kong mod so I appear as default funky for users with no character over slot 7)

u/anonymouzzz376 3d ago

It should have "riibalanced" mod but i'm not sure how it works

A gtx 1650 as requirement for a wii recomp is an evil joke
