(IF YOU ARE UPDATING FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF PONY KART DS AND WANT TO KEEP YOUR SAVE DATA, MAKE SURE THE ROM NAME AND .SAV FILE NAME ARE THE SAME)


Thanks for downloading this side project i've been working on since April, i'm insanely new to 3d game modding, especially ds game modding so
it's not perfect but this was a large learning experience for me and took me way longer to finish that I expected

*Also threw in a save file that has all of the characters unlocked, you still gotta unlock the tracks and stuff though

(NOTE: The mod works on real hardware, just you may experience some slowdown when a lot is happening on screen and may experience a couple of small graphical issues that don't show up in emulators that I know of)

and on a related note, I know some karts may have parts missing during the awards sequence, I have tried fixing it but just got kinda tired of trying to figure it out

anyways you will need to patch the rom file from your copy of Mario Kart DS (will likely need to use the US version of the game)

do not ask me on how to get a rom file for MKDS. 

to patch the rom file you can use this website https://hack64.net/tools/patcher.php 


as I tried to avoid using fan made assets as much as possible, I did knowingly use fanmade assets twice- which I will link the sources here:

if it turns out I accidentally used more fan made assets then please lmk and I'll credit/remove the assets if possible
