I better hope that extra $2.50 an hour im making is enough for me to get MK next friday..after bills of course. Your all tempting me too much to wait :p

The Duggler
11-16-2005, 08:24 PM
Ok, I'm buying MK for sure, but I'm not sure what to get to get online.

I heard about 2 things. A compatible router and that Nintendo USB thingy wich transform a USB port on a connected computer into a wifi hot point.

Which is better?

The Duggler
11-16-2005, 10:10 PM
Wow the game is great! Can't wait to play this online.

Dyne
11-16-2005, 10:35 PM
Either one is good but one is pretty much cheaper - although it's only available online right now. That's the Nintendo Dongle.

The problem with just going out and buying the cheapest router is that it might not work well. Check http://www.nintendowifi.com for more details and a list of routers that are compatible.

Jason1
11-16-2005, 10:43 PM
Ah, id love to give you mine right now, but I still havent purchased the game. With any luck I'll have it tomorrow evening, and I will share my friends code as soon as possible.

Oh and Nitram, I bought a Linksys BEFW11S4 several months ago. After rebates it ended up being like 10 bucks. Sure its not wireless G, but its wireless B, and thats all that you need for the DS anyways, it was a breeze to set up, and its 5 star recommended according to Nintendo. I guess we will see for sure how well it works as soon as I purchase the game, which should be tomorrow.

Teuthida
11-16-2005, 11:24 PM
I use that router. I just had to change my WEP Key from 64bit to 128bit. But after that worked like a charm.

It does seem awfully weird that it works for some routers and not others, doesn't it? I've never heard of a laptop being incompatible with a router (does PSP have compatability problems?).

If you need a solution, any cheap router can be doubled as a repeater of your existing router network. You just have to tell it that you don't want it to be a router, only to be a hub.

This game makes me wish I had DS!! Grrr... but I can't buy a DS though at the price it is, but as soon as GameBoy 3 comes out and the DS drops to $30 I hope people are still playing MKDS.

You need to enter the DS's MAC number into your router's setup.

I restarted my game so I have a new friend code. In my sig.

GameMaster
11-17-2005, 04:55 AM
D'oh! Now I have to change that in my friend roster. If I can even do that. If not, I delete the old you and add the new you.

Dyne
11-17-2005, 02:56 PM
I plan to wear my winning streak or losing streak no matter what.

You think Action Replay will eventually corrupt online racing?

Jason1
11-17-2005, 06:44 PM
Have it!!!!!!

352246 897511

But I warn: I'll be gone most of tonight, so it will probably be my brother playing if anyone is playing. He should pose a decent challenge though.

Oh, and also, I think my username on my DS is currently Yoda, so:

Yoda=Jason1, at least for now.

Dyne
11-17-2005, 09:09 PM
I connected for the first time today. I put my friend code up.

I had 3 online battles. I won them all. I only had one tough competition and that was a guy who boosted every chance he got. It was really fun knocking him off rainbow road.

I've come across some characters. For one, Costanza, who has a picture of George from Sienfeld. I also saw a sweet Megaman X portrait.

Man it's so fun. My heart was racing the whole time. It's like a crack addiction.

My father might be buying us a hub right now. So until then, I'll only be playing between classes when I'm at school.

Jason1
11-18-2005, 06:33 PM
Im a little confused on the whole "friends" thing. I entered all of you guys friends codes in, so does that mean it will automatically alert me when one of you guys are online? Or do we have to actually get together online to pick a specific time to get linked up as being friends?

Dyne

You can turn that notification on and off.

Jason1
11-18-2005, 08:59 PM

How?

Edit: Nevermind, I see it. But I technically dont have any "Friends" until we are both online at the same time and they approve it right?

I'm ready for a race right now. Please play with me.

Not much. Dyne can only access at school or public wifi spots. Dan is trying to keep a straight win record but had his first loss recently. Jason has trouble arranging times to meet with us. Thatmariolover never seems to be on. And I'm selling mine.

Canyarion
11-30-2005, 06:36 PM
You forgot to mention the reason of selling it: frustration because it's too hard for you. :mad2:

The Duggler

I'm often on there and I think someone here was trying to connect with friends a while ago, I saw the "friends" icon while playing a game.

JamesDark

Yeah, I think that was me/you. Didn't catch you in the Friends matchmaking, though.

Anyone know what the little locks on the friends list mean?

Jason1
11-30-2005, 08:51 PM
Either me or my brother are on quite a bit. I still havent ever had that friend icon pop up and ive added all you guys to my friends list. Bad timing I guess.

Question: That suppoused "Friends icon," does it pop up whenever a friend come online? Or does it only pop up if a friend is online AND trying to connect by using friends? Because if it is the latter, no wonder ive never seen it come up...I know I never try to connect with friends because I just assume nobody is online.

Dyne
11-30-2005, 09:15 PM
It could've been me too. Every time I sit down on my afternoon breaks I do a friends search in hope of playing against one of you.

The best part about smack talking, for me, is that it gets you guys riled up so I have more competition!

Heh heh heh. :D

Seriously, I came to a dead halt 50 feet before the line. You didn't notice? I guess you were boosting too much.

My record is so low not because I don't play much, but the times I do play, people **** their pants and go offline.

It's a tough life.

I'm new, though, so if anyone plays me... Take pity :)


/me shrugs and walks away

Teuthida

Added.

Sometimes when playing someone really bad I slow down and let them almost win so they'll stick through all four tracks instead of thinking its hopeless and log off.

Ginkasa
12-14-2005, 10:09 PM
Whenever I play someone really good, I stick through all four races (sometimes more) even if I don't stand a chance...

Teuthida
12-14-2005, 10:26 PM
Press gas right before the 2 disappears...after its sound.

Ginkasa
12-14-2005, 10:35 PM
Is there a way to do it in straight a ways? I can only do it on turns, and I'm not very quick yet, so...


/me shrugs and walks away

Teuthida
12-14-2005, 10:38 PM
Just takes some practice. And find it easier if the handling of the kart is a lot more than its drift.

Ginkasa
12-14-2005, 10:41 PM
I'll.... figure it out... Eventually...

Play 50cc, all cups. It's a piece of cake to get 3 stars when it's so easy to boost all the time.

Other than that it's just talent. ;)

Teuthida
12-17-2005, 12:23 AM
Got my 2 stars today. :D
Gonna be mighty hard to get 3 on every single cup.

Was racing someone online on Figure-8. We're both snaking but my arm was so fatigued from playing today to get the 2 star ranking that I just couldn't pull it off. Never thought I'd lose a video game due to muscle fatigue.

Dyne
12-17-2005, 01:14 AM
I'd get my rightful three stars if I didn't have a test tomorrow.

Oh life.

I've got them for 50/100/some of 150. The retro courses are pretty much a given for me.

Teuthida
12-17-2005, 03:47 AM
I actually have more trouble on the retro courses. I didn't really get into the series untill DD. Played a little MK64 before but no 16bitness...well a dribble of Super Circuit but found Konami Crazy Racers to be a much better game so played more of that on GBA.

Got 3 stars for all 50/some for 100/and for some reason more 3 stars on 150 than 100/and so far just two 3 star cups on Mirror.

Teuthida
12-19-2005, 03:00 AM
Got beat for the first time in a long time. 3 star Dry Bones. So close to beating him.

Dyne

Got a larger then expected paycheck so I took my $25 best buy gift card and splurged at it. Got MK: DS, DS Charger (I lost mine a few months ago somehow...), Advance Wars Second Strike (may or may not keep it..they didnt have Animal Crossing in stock but I may not open it and exchange it later :D ) and the WiFi dongle thing Ninty has since I didnt want to have to sit around after buiying a wireless router and configuring it today since I work in a few hours and just want to mess around.

I'll get friend code shortly...

It means "snaking" is not worth an article, and the admins have taken it down. I agree with them.

Awe explained how to snake with diagrams and whatnot and how though considered unfair by some it's a legit tatic.

And what are these patches you speak of?

Well, I usually get on about 9:00 eastern... until maybe... midnight? I dont get on as much as I used to though.

Ok, this is a little off topic, but remember when we saw the "hacked" video of Mk when the dude played on Tick Tock Clock...

That ,my friends, is very true... because I played on Shroom Ridge and Bowsers Castle online...

And he was picking different courses also, Peach Gardens and Waluigi Pinball to name a few. The players' name was AP... I was very intrigued in how to do it... so I tried different button combinations, and touching the screen in specific places, but nothing seemed to work...

Both courses were working just fine, I wish Nintendo had'nt taken them out... because they are very well made courses... especially Shroom Ridge.

Dyne
01-17-2006, 11:08 PM
They took them out because of minor graphical glitches. For instance, when you get shot out of the tower for Bowser's castle, it appears that your character falls down instead of shooting up, on other people's screens.

Nobody has a solid idea of how it's done but we're thinking it has something to do with transferring stuff to the GBA slot.

Canyarion
01-18-2006, 04:39 AM
The AGB slot is used?

Dyne
01-18-2006, 05:32 AM
Potentially as an outlet for hacking, yes.

Ooooh ok..

The game is out in Holland, but I still don't feel the need to buy a DS.

W00t! 3 stars. Didn't play in months and then I picked it up again and got the rest of the stars I needed. *pats self on back*

Hahah, I sort of just stopped playing altogether; same with Animal Crossing. I'll probably pick it up and get 3 stars later too.

so is it worth me buying all this equipment to play with you all?

I like it a lot, but I haven't played it lately. I suppose I'll pick it back up if I get a DS Lite.

But my god, at this point, I'd save up the money for the Wii. That's the smart thing to do, seriously. Wii is going to be insane.

Hm, maybe now that more people are getting this game I might have to plug my router back in...

Got a DS a few weeks ago, with MKDS. Then after playing on a public wi-fi connection, went out and got a router..

My MKDS code is: 4038 0291 7121

I've also got Metroid, but that's on my bro's DS. It sucks that when you change the DS you have to reset your WFC stats. Damn thing. He plays MKDS on my DS, I play MPH on his.

Anyone still playing Mario Kart? Who'd be up for some races this weekend?

I've never actually attempted to take my DS online before. I guess this weekend would be as good a time as any.

But I usually can't make it on time :)

Yeah, I've actually become busy with finals. But I will program you all into my DS and we can probably race soon.

So who are the people who would actually play so I know who to program in?



P.S. My friend code is: 3952 2117 4991
