This is so exciting! Mario Kart R can be re-created.

very interesting, thanks for sharing

[@brannycedeno6823]

So, where did these early builds surface from? I see nobody talking about this.

[@Zachruff]

were these a part of the IQue leak that gave us town?

[@OverKart64]

These were pulled directly out of source code files similar to the way Town was, but in a different format. Their extreme similarity and the lack of a processor to parse the filedata meant that they hadn't been looked into with any seriousness until today.

Hey. How do I extract the z64 file in order to get the music files?
I'm interested in the music from the Town map but also some of the other ones.

[@OverKart64]

I didn't handle any of the music data and unfortunately don't know much about it. I'd say to join the discord server in this video's description and ask for more help there, as we have lots of talented people who can provide more assistance.

[@clausmartini1074]

@@OverKart64 I'll probably do that. Thanks. But do you know how to extract the z64 rom files? I know it's not a regular zip archive or anything. But it is similar to that, right?

@@clausmartini1074 it's not

[@BlueYoshi]

For Yoshi Valley, which artwork are you talking about? I can only see the elevated egg in the official Strategy Guide's artwork, not the Exit sign.

[@abney317mk]

They are included in various Japanese manuals for the game (there's a lot of them)

[@HikikomoriDev]

Am I out of luck if I want to see these files on Blender?

[@iDontProgramInCpp]

No, I'm pretty sure he used an off the shelf ripper which rips to a program both 3ds Max and Blender can use

[@rmineTester]

Awesome

Uh, oh I edited my comment and now the heart is gone...
