Greetings!

As per usual, I'm probably going to be nowhere near as useful as Chadderz is, but I'm here as well. The pair of us are interested in offering as much assistance as possible to keep Mario Kart Wii online beyond the WFC shutdown.

It's my hope that everyone here will be able to work together to produce the replacement service before the deadline. I reckon it should be doable, as there are already a lot of different people here with useful information to share. Me and Chadderz will be monitoring these boards regularly and contributing what we can over the coming weeks.

Good luck to everyone!

Hier bitte ausschließlich die englische Sprache benutzen.
Und ich schreibe es auf deutsch weil einige hier wohl nicht wirklich gut englisch können.

Maybe it's a good idea when everyone who speaks german posts the german translation under the english text.

Vielleicht ist es eine gute Idee, dass jeder der Deutsch spricht, die deutsche Übersetzung unter dem Englischen schreibt.

Only in english here.

But rather then in a spoiler, because otherwise the post will be too long if someone writes here long texts.

Aber dann lieber in einem Spoiler, weil sonst die Post zu lang werden, wenn jemand hier lange Texte schreibt.

Yeah. I think it's quite senseful because a lot of people here , me included, can't speak english very well. And when there's a fatal mistake in the english language it could be corrected by other Users.

That`s right. My english is bad. So why not two langues?? But i agree, if greenhorn want that. ( but them i can`t understand the info. That`s awful )

First, Welcome Chadders and MrBean!
Glad to see you here.

@all:
The appearance of Chadders and MrBean was clear before founding this forum, because MrBean and me have discussed it and decided work together. We use the Wii-Homebrew forums, because the WHB-Team will support the whole project and will change the forums structure whenever needed (short way from "needed" to "executed"). Chadderz, Bean, the WHB-Team and I agreed, that that the conversation language is english (see the project title). However, we know, that this is in general a German forum and so we have also a german speaking subforum.


Back to the project:
In this week (and the next too), I'm very busy in my jobs projects and I'll work also at home. So I'm more silent. However, in the next days I will create a network overview thread with all things I know. Also I will upload some dumps including related videos. overall I have collected 29 GiB of (compressed) dumps and reduced videos (videos 13 GiB, dumps and support files 16 GiB).

I actually don't know where I should post this, but maybe we can contact this guy (if he didn't join already): youtube.com/watch?v=9FmA3CzN7SM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Maybe he knows something about how it works.

And by the way, welcome Bean and Chadderz.

He and Tock developed a ghost data exchange database, but the ghost data works completely different than the normal races. We might ask him when our server is ready for races and the Ghostdata is ready to implement.

I´m already reading all the stuff youre writing here =)
When everything is ready, my ghostdatabase can be implemented into the project, I'm open minded for it. At the moment there are ~39k ghosts in the database which are ready to use and could be implemented on a new server.
As Leseratte said, the ghostdata stuff is a complety different topic, but I will try to help if where are on a point where we can use it.

Later I also added a "time trial viewer" function to my app, which allows to read the TT data without booting the game. Maybe we could implement that in a channel (?) and automaticly upload the timesheet to a server, where we always have an up 2 date timesheet of each player. But for something like that its way to early now.. At first we should focus on the basic stuff! But the possibilities are endless
