Mario Kart Wii - Service Pack is an experimental, open-source, cross-platform mod for MKW aiming to provide a variety of features and improvements over the base game. More details on the website.
You need:
- devkitPPC (with the DEVKITPPC environment variable set)
- ninja (samurai also works)
- protoc
- Python 3 (using PyPy can substantially reduce build times)
- pyjson5 (if installing from pip, the package is
json5NOTpyjson5) - pyelftools
- itanium_demangler
- protobuf (the Python package)
Generate the ninja file:
./configure.pyExecute it:
ninjaThe out directory will contain the generated binaries and assets.
On subsequent builds only the last command needs to be run.
If you are working on something please comment on the relevant issue (or open a new one if necessary).
The codebase uses both C and asm, C should be preferred for full function replacements and for any kind of complex logic. No assumption about the use of registers by C code should be made other than the ABI. If necessary asm wrappers can be employed to restore and backup volatile registers.
There is no automatic formatting yet but the codestyle is pretty consistent so sticking to it shouldn't be too hard.
