[fluid meteor]

Man I'm kicking a lot of asses tonight

[deep shore]

Awesome

I just got on myself

People are having trouble matchmaking, it seems.

[violet grove]

Hmmm

[earnest gust]

Anyone on MK7 I can't seem to find anybody

[grizzled dragon]

lol we gotta see

[fluid meteor]

I'm in playing for an hour

[earnest gust]

I keep getting an error occurred when searching for players

[raw valve]

I stg, whoever that hacker was using the offensive Mii, I hope they get banned from online. 😑

[earnest gust]

I saw him to

Flew a blue shell right at the start and spammed bomb ombs when entering the tunnel

[raw valve]

Yep

[deep shore]

Shock rate's unusually high

I couldn't use golden shrooms in peace

[fluid meteor]

Dude I literally beat a hacker

[grizzled dragon]

well same ?

you're not the only one ?

[fluid meteor]

Hey no , I'm not bragging I'm just surprised

[deep shore]

Yeah, I lagged to 2nd that race somehow

[grizzled dragon]

hackers mostly dont know how to play

[fluid meteor]

Yeah but it was epic! A green shell at finish line

There was one spamming red shells at music whatever stage and I got to the flying tune part and evaded them lol also epic

[deep shore]

Imagine stopping to red people

I wonder if I can reach 2k before <t:1713171600:t>

@fluid meteor GG

Got me some good 4K (because YouTube no longer supports 5k) footage

[fluid meteor]

I got stuck on wall an then I got dced

[grizzled dragon]

gg 🙃

[soft canyon]

Does random connections not work

[violet grove]

Is trolling allowed on pretendo?

[gritty merlin]

Is CTGP-7 online not working for anyone else?

[violet grove]

Their servers are down

Are MK7 servers down?

[sage grove]

Gimme a minute, lemme check

[sweet tree]

Okay

[sage grove]

It works

[sweet tree]

Oh

:/

Idk why is not working for me

Omg

I get the same error in the friends list💀

[sage grove]

Hmm maybe it's your wifi?

Did you restart your console?

[sweet tree]

I turned off wifi and turned it back on on the console

[sweet tree]

Yes

[sage grove]

Power off your console and wifi router, then power on the router first

Maybe that fixes the problem

[sweet tree]

Ok one moment

It worked!

Ty so much bro

[tidal scaffold]

do communities still work?

[sweet tree]

Nope

[deep shore]

The video of this morning's session is still processing

[grizzled dragon]

[violet grove]

you dont know what trolling is?

[grizzled dragon]

bruhh....

🤦‍♂️

if you want to troll with a cheat menu, NO its not allowed

[subtle crown]

Mario Kart 7 anyone?

[sage grove]

Still playing? 😅

[dusky terrace]

Is anyone else dealing with the hacker that makes you pick toad circuit even though you pick a different track or even random?

[sage grove]

No, I met a few metal Marios but not that kind of stuff

[dusky terrace]

Well right now I'm dealing with a terrible hacker that just won't stop I keep leaving and coming back and he hasn't gotten offline and he's making the experience really Bland right now for everyone

[flat owl]

I got in a hacker lobby and a crasher unfortunately I couldn't get there name so couldn't report

[dusky terrace]

That dumb idiot made my 3DS crash whoever that person was I was talking about online somewhere in Australia

[flat owl]

Good that you know pretendo definitely needs more moderators

That fartloud§ person is giving me speed hacking feelings

[subtle crown]

Slept

[sly crane]

Anyone playing right now?

[sterile river]

yes me

[sly crane]

I've just started, waiting for a game

[sterile river]

[sly crane]

I think i have 2 in my lobby, Emillio and Dark eyes

[sterile river]

in the game, i have 2 maskass and one of the two threw 10,000 bombs and tp all time

[sly crane]

I've had a few of those players who spam bob ombs, especially when you're about to catch them or outrun them

[sterile river]

yes

it sucks and I hope they get banned

[sly crane]

I hope so too

[sterile river]

[sly crane]

YAY, i won a race

Aww, communication error 😦 Hmpf!!

[hollow crest]

hello

kinda want to test mk7

I'll drop my fc once I'll be on my phone

[robust wolf]

Hmm, game stuck finding a new lobby

[sly crane]

I've been trying to get onto the server for a while now 😦

[robust wolf]

It took its time certainly

[robust wolf]

Really?

I'm on a session

[sly crane]

I'm being told i can't connect to the server

[robust wolf]

Oh well, it is definitely acting up, it is taking a lot to load the next game again

[sly crane]

I wanna annoy some cheaters 😛

[robust wolf]

It seems that I'm stuck with the same players

[robust wolf]

Wdym?

[sly crane]

I mean play mario kart 7 and annoy some cheaters/hackers, taunt them and make it unpleasant for them HEH HEH!! Not by hacking/cheating btw, I'll throw every shell and whatnot at them, even the kitchen sink XD

[sweet tree]

20 mins ago i found 2 hackers

I recorded it

[robust wolf]

Report them here

https://discord.com/channels/408718485913468928/1229517896447692860

[sly crane]

Oh come on. XD Lemme play 😛

[robust wolf]

Did u find a match?

[sly crane]

😦 No, I'm stuck at 'Connecting to Nintendo Network', Then given an error

[robust wolf]

Bruh

Reboot 3ds

[sly crane]

Done that several times

I think i'll switch to MK8

[sweet tree]

Disconnect your WiFi and connect again

[deep shore]

How's Mario Kart 7 treating you guys?

[robust wolf]

In the most part pretty good, although some nasty matches with cheaters

[soft canyon]

How are you guys getting connections, doesn’t work for me

[deep shore]

I was going to say that connection to the Pretendo servers are easy, but Matchmaking takes a while.

but I'm in a lobby now.

[deep shore]

Wow, people have it out for me this session

[earnest gust]

If you can't connect to no one the servers are either overloaded or there's no one else on the game your trying to matchmake in that's what I learned lol

[grizzled dragon]

yo

someone having the blue shell but he was first

[deep shore]

Carrying blue shells is fun

(no, I am not playing atm)

Like, if no one's going to play aggro, then I'm carrying all the power items to 1st

And the sad part is, I don't bag

[grizzled dragon]

kinda dont know how to deal with so im like "well ill stay in the 2nd place, its not that bad" lol

[visual tusk]

anyone want to race in mk7?

[deep shore]

I suppose I could

I guess I'll try to find you via Random?

@visual tusk

Okay, I'm not sure if that was a legitimate comm error or everyone simply left.

[sly crane]

Yay RR Snes....Gets suddenly disconnected GAH!!...Not again XD

[robust wolf]

Bruh, Pretendo/MK7 hates you

[sly crane]

Hmmm, Must be kinda mutual, I think i hate me too 😉

[violet grove]

Hi for 3ds games, only mk7 is playable via ctgp 7 network ?

[ocean rune]

You just enable Pretendo with nimbus on your 3ds

then you go online exactly like you would on Nintendo Network

[violet grove]

I mean

What games i'm able to play online with 3ds

Idc about how i do, i have everything i need 🙂

[grizzled dragon]

from my knowledge

mario kart 7

steel diver sub wars (bcuz i play it lol)

[sly crane]

Anyone playing right now or soon?

[earnest gust]

Ironfall is one to

Tro-Force heros also works but it bugs out often and doesn't load the map to start it so getting into a match and it technically 100% working is a pain

[sly crane]

Any other shell sharks or drift wizards playing right now?

[robust wolf]

Does CTGP-7 work with Pretendo?

[azure trench]

Not currently I think. It only allows for CTGP-7 Network. It's a bummer

[grizzled dragon]

yo

aaaand there a cheaater lets goo

.....

[potent urchin]

did the MK7 server go down?

nvm it seems it was just a dc

[grizzled dragon]

nope its not

5 players = 2 players legit (including me) + 3 cheaters

smfh...

[potent urchin]

ugh...

[robust wolf]

Why is that a bummer? I had no idea they had its servers, it seems that there are no hackers there :0

[azure trench]

Because there are hardly any people there playing original (vanilla) tracks online. I wish I could play original tracks online with lots of people while also enjoying CTGP-7.

[violet grove]

I keep getting matched with cheaters

[robust wolf]

Hmm but you can play the original tracks regardless can't you?

[violet grove]

Kinda sucks

[robust wolf]

Original?

[violet grove]

Yes

[azure trench]

You can. Both single player and online. But there is never anyone playing vanilla tracks online on the CTGP-7 Network. All of the original tracks players seem to be on Pretendo.

[violet grove]

You mean cheaters which are spamming items or having speed hacks?

[violet grove]

Yra

[violet grove]

Yeah had one too. Already reported.

I got blueshelled twice the second the race started

[robust wolf]

I see well, if there is the chance of getting into a match in the vanilla tracks I think it is worth it to give it a try because it seems that it is guaranteed to not face hackers here..

The only thing that I am not liking is that the 3D is not working online, so I essentially made my 3DS a 2DS 😂

[robust wolf]

That sucks, hopefully Pretendo's efforts are gonna be in anti cheat servers as soon as they can get into it

[grizzled dragon]

curious to see how did you report them ?

[robust wolf]

Damn, there some real pros in CTGP-7

[robust wolf]

Try out in #1229517896447692860

[violet grove]

Yeah here: #1229517896447692860 message

[earnest gust]

CTGP-7 network is hosted for CTGP by Pretendo it's just its own separate server I'm pretty sure

[lean coral]

Anyone playing right now?

Some cheater using toad forgot what his name was just blasted to the finish line we all had like 30 seconds to do the whole track

Pretend o works like a charm tho

[round ember]

I just had came across a cheater too. Right from the start of the race he had a power star

I wish there was a way to report

[earnest gust]

I wish there was a block feature so you couldn't matchmake with the person you blocked ever again lol

[lean coral]

Just patched in ctgp 7 I assume since they have their own servers I can just play online out the bat?

[flat owl]

I hate speed hackers truly have no skill 😒 when you need to use cheats

[bold cobalt]

just go to ctgp-7 there's like 0 cheaters

[robust wolf]

It is been a blast there too

Although damn, it is full of pros, I rarely go into the 1st 3rd places

[flat owl]

No thanks I rather stick with pretendo if I have to play mk7 online plus I know it's beta but the moderation is really poorly done currently so

Also I have bad experience with the ctgp7 community so and no I'm not going to tell you either if you want to know them go ask them yourself

[robust wolf]

Dude, you left me with the doubt 😂

This week it is the first time I ever play in the servers

[deep shore]

How's MK7 treating y'all guys?

[deep shore]

So far, it's a cheater-free experience. 🙂

For me, anyway.

[dire tiger]

Last week this chat was dead, but now u can find players when Nintendo shutdown thier servers

[deep shore]

Sounds a bit understandable

[robust wolf]

Yep, I think I already played more time on Pretendo's servers than I did in an entire year of the official Nintendo's servers lol.

[lucid hearth]

wth, there was a big cheater in my game

[deep shore]

Yeah, I think I went from a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe player back to a Mario Kart 7 server in seconds lol

In fact, I'm already searching for a lobby

Man, I need to start recording these races

[candid veldt]

I have a petition to hopefully get a tool implemented which would allow the user to find friend codes of users in MK7 (something the Wii U could do already thanks to the Friend List sub-app). React with if you agree that we need a tool that can give us friend code or console ID in the event of a hacker. (Or DM me if you already know of a tool!)

[violet grove]

Honestly just do a open Host thing like on mkw

So you don't need to add people that added you

Yk wiimmfi

[candid veldt]

I get that. The main reason for this is if I need to report a hacker. It's especially difficult when you can't usually obtain the player's ID unlike the Wii U

@grizzled dragon thanks for joining my petition! ||(You shouldn't have been pinged; if for some inconspicuous reason you were plz let me know(||

[bold jacinth]

Hey, guys, who is
Nin☆James?

[azure ridge]

people cheating in Mario Kart 7? dafuq do you get from this? 😂 😭

how you throwing bob-oms before we reach the first set of items 😭

[gilded trellis]

Why when im trying to play since the last 4 days it says nintedo have restricted your account... did i get banned while i was trying to play for the first time i mean WTF...

[round ember]

I've seen someone have a starpower right from the get go.

Then today someone just started shooting bananas every where

[candid veldt]

I've seen someone get Spiny Shells from the first item box onwards!

also petition to bring that emoji into this Discord server

[tidal scaffold]

Best replacement for Metal Mario?

If you dont have it btw

[safe crown]

Can anyone play mk7 whit me (source: i got a 3ds yesterday)

[fluid anchor]

hey guys, am just wondering if the communities part for this game is coming out soon. hard to organize games with my friends. thx 🙂

[haughty harness]

Same, would be huge for the game to have them back

[storm pendant]

tbh not a lot of people were on the major communities before the online servers were shutdown

it’d take a long time to find a single person

[fluid anchor]

Of course those comms weren’t popular, but a lot of people still made communities for friends and competitive purposes. A server I’m in has hundreds of people in and used communities daily. I think it’s important.

[haughty coral]

is there anybody who knows anything about communities being added to online? personally i think communities are the most important part of this games playability, they can be used for tournaments, private lobbies, etc. (just general event organisation) and to my knowledge, there are not less people who played in communities than those who play worldwides, so i am just wondering if there is any news on communities implementation, any progress or a rough time period that they will be added, or whatever else

addition of communities would definitely be the best thing for current day MK7 so i am just really curious whether or not they are being treated as a high demand, if i had to say, it is definitely one of the biggest priorities seeing as MK7 is one if, if not the biggest multiplayer game for the 3DS/WiiU, and of course i more than understand that there is so much overwhelm at the moment but just really keen to hear if there is an update for MK7 progress, many thanks!

one last thing, communities implementation would be extremely appreciated and not forgotten about by many, many MK7 players

[sly crane]

Was anyone playing online on the Coconut Mall track about 5 minutes ago? Just about to start the race, when everyone was getting spammed with Lightning, and really lagged my 3DS, I was with about 6 other players.

[deep shore]

I was in that same race. Got it recorded, got disconnected.

[sly crane]

You saw the lightning?

[deep shore]

Yep. Lightning spam happened before countdown.

[sly crane]

Grrr.....Glad someone else did. - I was Amazonian (Yoshi - Soda Jet with Mushroom Wheels)

[deep shore]

#1229517896447692860 message Confirmed presence in lobby

I was running Lakitu/Egg 1/Wood/Flower Glider (but you don't see the glider because I got disconnected before I could reach that part of the track)

[sly crane]

Again, glad you were there to capture it

I'd love to use Citra more often, but i really like the 3D effect of the New 3DS XL. Not sure how good the support on capable PC monitors is

[fluid anchor]

🙌

[grizzled dragon]

hello

gg

gg

@uneven pumice gg boi

see ya next time 😁

[deep shore]

Yeah, it's kind of a good thing I don't care for VR at this point; I just want to play the game. Also, sorry for the late reply, I had to cook and eat breakfast.

[sly crane]

That's cool 🙂

TBH, I'm the same way. I play for fun

[sly crane]

Finally a fun lobby with no hackers/cheaters, Much better!!

[remote vine]

It’s hard to find one

Anyone wanny play mk7 now ?

[pliant tiger]

[safe crown]

Im pretty much thinking that mk7 is having errors on the servers

[ocean rune]

MK7 works fine for me atm

[safe crown]

Sometimes i get a error many times

Sometimes when ravce bout to start its communication error

Is anyone willing to play battle mode?

[grizzled dragon]

[storm pendant]

can someone break it down

[grizzled dragon]

ngl its interesting what he said tbh & this can be a good idea

but yea he writed a loooot lol

[wispy glen]

sometimes you gotta write a lot to get your point across

and his points are completely interesting and valid

[dull kindle]

vouch we need communities back asap, hundreds of players still used them for competitive and private arrangements and now they're all without it

[grizzled dragon]

facts

[grizzled dragon]

lmaaoo s/o to the Macky gang ahahaha

there a guy in the lobby who is called "ImSoLegit⭐ "

lmaoo

[fluid anchor]

@summer sparrow yo sorry to ping a likely busy dev but like benjamin franklin said: if you want something done, you ask the busy man. just wondering if you could read some of the messages and questions people wrote above when you have tim

[summer sparrow]

Communities are still in WIP, there are many dependencies required to implement it:

• The "official communities" list is downloaded from SpotPass
• The ranking system wasn't fully known yet. We now have a better idea of how it works, but will require some time to implement
• Implement the communities matchmaking, though this is easier since we already have a base for normal matchmaking

Skipping the "official communities" and implement them later may be considered to speed things up but nothing is set on stone yet

[fluid anchor]

i c. thanks for the answer mate

[haughty coral]

thank you for answering! also, maybe that last part of the message could be the way to go, as it would speed things up as you stated

countless amounts of people would be forever grateful for any form of communities in this current time

(not trying to add pressure btw I understand there is a very big overwhelm at the moment)

nah

i know him he told me he only hack in friend room or hack only server

[forest flint]

ah right

[severe meadow]

the friend room are with hacker btw

[forest flint]

didn't realise you gained vr in friend rooms

although

[severe meadow]

he played on nintendo network

before the shutdown

[forest flint]

vr doesn't transfer

I don't think

[severe meadow]

about that #1229517896447692860

[deep shore]

The entirety of my save did transfer for me, so I had to manually reset my VR back to 1k.

Which, apparently, made no difference since there is no more VR-based match making.

Maybe I picked the worst possible time to stream this. Even though Splatoon 1 players are feeling the full impact of the maintenance in progress, I'm starting to think this affects Mario Kart 7, too.

I can connect, but there's like a 5% chance of a successful matchmaking.

[forest flint]

my stream is working

@deep shore

[deep shore]

It's not my stream, my stream is fine, but I had to restart the Home Menu to get back on.

[forest flint]

i phrased that wrong

i meant it's working fine for me

i take it all back

comm error

[deep shore]

So that Mii that came in 4th was you?

[forest flint]

yea man

i made your lobby

[deep shore]

Closing the game and restarting from the Home Menu works (on Citra), so may I suggest restarting your 3DS?

001-0502

[simple harbor]

hey ppl, i played a little today, very fun, but a lot of hackers are destroying the fun, i got one race with a guy sending blue shells in the second that the game started, and other loosers like that, what we can do to play with clean members?

i think that even if we can ban some ppl like this, as a free server he can make a new account right? So we are doomed?

[deep shore]

Finally, a cheater free lobby (or so I think)

[forest flint]

bans are to console

not account

[simple harbor]

nice.

i have 3 3ds consoles, is that ok to share the same account?

[deep shore]

It probably is (I use a New 3DS XL and Citra to connect to Pretendo).

[simple harbor]

cool, thx @deep shore. I really love what these guys are doing not just by playing MK7 again but to make my 3ds alive.

[haughty coral]

referring back to the discussion about communities, is there any rough time-frame for them to be playable again?

[storm pendant]

id say it could come back in maybe 3 months or smth

just be patient tbh

they’ll come back u just gotta wait

[deep shore]

I wouldn't say Pretendo is in its infancy, but it is still a young project that has yet to mature into the megasystem that has every game that ever ran on Nintendo Network servers up and running.

[deep shore]

No problem. I haven't been this active on my own 3DS or Citra since the Nintendo Network's final days.

[long oyster]

so basically, not wiimmfi

[deep shore]

You could say that, but not even Wiimmfi is perfect.

[long oyster]

yeah

I mean, wiimmfi still has missing features

[sonic relic]

can we have pretendo communities at the start of summer holidays?

or is that unlikely

[sand tide]

🙏

[visual tusk]

anyone wanna race rn?

add me on pretendo: 4696 6487 6771

R communities a thing yet in mk7?

[shell summit]

I added you, my fc is 1473-0001-2041

[verbal sky]

Im gonna kill a Hacker called dontbeagre

It's using a Shy Guy with infinite powers

[supple monolith]

I think I encountered the same person, they play legit at first but randomly start cheating a lot

And they have FTW cheats too so they always come first when they cheat. Pretty lame :/

[verbal sky]

Can Someone Ban his Account?

His name is DntBeBad<3 from Belice, Stann Creek

If someone sees him, get the hell out of the Race

[supple monolith]

Or annoy them somehow so they toggle their cheats then record it and send it here

[long oyster]

what did he do

[verbal sky]

He literally is spamming ítems to everyone

[long oyster]

ugh

[verbal sky]

Every race we start he puts himself in 6th place and starts spamming until he reaches 1rst

[glossy grove]

communities pleaseeee wws are mid

[tidal scaffold]

we need anti cheat too PLEASE

I would like to know if there is any progress for the development of the mario kart 7 communities.
This is very very important for a lot of people and this is a great necessity.

Why does this game have so many hackers?!?

Why can't we all just play fair?

[sterile river]

i play mk7 actually and hackers are present

I've had it up to here

[sterile river]

FUCK YOU HACKERS

[honest agate]

Omg I am just finding now finding this

not sure if its the same case for mk8

For anyone seeing this later, you can report hackers in https://discord.com/channels/408718485913468928/1231832741612621876

[long oyster]

ctgp7 hasn't really had hackers from what I saw

[haughty coral]

really sry for the ping @summer sparrow but i was just hoping that a developer could take a few moments to read some of the messages from the past few days from this thread, a handful of people have inquired about communities recently and just wondering if there is any sign of a rough timeframe for when we will be able to create and play in our own communities again?

it would put me and many many others at ease if we were informed of some time estimate if there is one, many thx again

[keen bolt]

Gg

You were in my room yesterday ?

[deep shore]

I ❤️ Mario Kart 7!

I love watching other players getting trolled with infinite stars by two other players!

You know I'm one and done'ng this lobby

[white trout]

Who was doing it?

You should report them

[deep shore]

I can't do that without proper evidence as I didn't record them. They targeted a third player, so....... Next time, I will definitely record it in 4K.

Of course, I'm going to wind up downscaling the footage to 480p, but yeah.

[forest flint]

dude stop asking

they've said that they are working on them

[sly crane]

Last time i looked the MK7 hacker channel disappeared, is it really gone now, or maybe merged for all games?

[honest agate]

https://discord.com/channels/408718485913468928/1231832741612621876

hello

[deep shore]

Sup

[sonic relic]

"stop asking" in an aggressive tone but does not even read that we need a timeframe

[honest agate]

Who ever "mika" (Yoshi in gold kart/999999vr) is, your a f*cking loser cheating like that

[grizzled dragon]

i feel you

[honest agate]

it's okay. I reported them in https://discord.com/channels/408718485913468928/1231832741612621876

there were multiple guys cheating but I couldn't tell who it was and I got kicked from them

[honest agate]

Someone is crashing lobbies

[deep shore]

Let's see what's online besides loltrolls and lolcheaters

[honest agate]

be careful

[deep shore]

That doesn't sound too good

Lobby crashing?

Time to overclock

So far, the lobbies are hacker-free

And full, so that might last a bit. Too bad I don't have much playtime on my hands.

[ocean rune]

Are there only full lobbys or none?

I am trying to get into a room

[deep shore]

I got in a full lobby, but that crashed

And then I got in a 6-man lobby that I voluntarily left.

No cheaters yet.

I'm looking for a lobby right now.

I believe it will take some time.

[ocean rune]

idc about cheaters lol

crashers are more annoying

[deep shore]

RIght. I found a lobby with 3 other players. More might join.

Two more people joined since I made it in.

[ocean rune]

man I just want to record my custom wifi menu haha

:p

ok I´ll give up I´ll try tomorrow again lol

I am not sure if this is the fault of citra or not

but it worked a few hours ago so I guess not

[deep shore]

It's not Citra, it's likely the servers not being stable enough.

[ocean rune]

worked first try with 3ds damn

but I also have like 10k vr on 3ds

finally got in some room

[pine sapphire]

mk7 someone ?

[violet grove]

Me

[hasty scroll]

[candid veldt]

[hasty scroll]

Im in another match now

its everything normal for the moment

thanks for the interest, really

[candid veldt]

Omg I'm spectating the guy

[spare moat]

Apparently so

[honest agate]

It's madness rn

[deep shore]

At least, he doesn't do it to win, but that doesn't change how annoying it is.

I have a recording of my own.

[honest agate]

There's plenty proof now

[hasty scroll]

Sincerely I would like more if he did it for winning and just do not troll

[honest agate]

He's gone I think

[spare moat]

Nah

[honest agate]

Crap hes back

[spare moat]

Hes back

[hasty scroll]

[honest agate]

Oh I didn't know it worked like that

[deep shore]

Shall we find out what's going on with MK7?

[sly crane]

I was in there about 10-20 minutes ago, i think i saw a hacker called 'R o k u' with an incredibly high 634k VR

[hasty scroll]

im in mk7 if someone want to join

Oooh, I'd nearly given up, going back into MK7 now

[violet grove]

Guys do you think that I should start playing mk7 or ctgp 7 as a start?

[tacit gull]

I just installed the ctgp 7 it’s fun ! @violet grove

[pine hamlet]

base mk7 isnt bad but you'll honestly have a better time starting with ctgp7, especially because it comes packed with a great range of modded characters, vehicles and several custom track cups. It also helps that the online works great and has a reliable anticheat along with active players

not to mention it has missions, several custom achievements to earn (along with some cool unlockables), im sure you'll have a good time with it. It'll also save you from grinding the vanilla unlockables if you dont wanna deal with that

[violet grove]

I see thanks

[violet grove]

Ctgp7 cuz prétendo mk7 have too much cheaters

Ctgp7 have 0 cheaters

Nice now this I like

Ctgp7 is more funny AT all too

With cts

I don't see a reason for hacking a 10 years ago racing game lol what kind of loser do this

Like

[violet grove]

Skill issue players 🤷

I think it is fun to join anarchy minecraft servers but seriously I hate when the game is not explicitly hack allowed and someone do this

[violet grove]

I have skill issue and I bet I could easily win against those cheaters lol

[violet grove]

I only cheated just one Time to make another cheater leave the room on nnid

I will never cheat without Reason tbh

Lol fair

If i do i have my own reason

I love playing anarchy minecraft servers

[tacit gull]

I recommend ctgp 7

[violet grove]

I miss 2b2t

[violet grove]

Result he left and we played normaly without cheaters

I don't think i could do that on pretendo

[violet grove]

I missed my shared account that I got for free in 2018 after mojang added xbox clause

[violet grove]

Rip bozo

[violet grove]

Yep

[violet grove]

Amem

[violet grove]

Don't want a ban tbh

Lol

And the best thing is reporting

Talking about anti-cheat

[deep shore]

anti-chest

[violet grove]

Now we Can get their ass banned with proof

LOL

[violet grove]

🔥

[deep shore]

Speaking of this game, I'm about to hop on for 30 minutes.

I wish there was a No Music code for this game (preferrably Rev 1 US).

[violet grove]

Idk if i Can play At 3:32

[deep shore]

am?

[violet grove]

Night

Dude

Sry english not my main language

Am I the only one wondering how far can the 3ds go with the community?

[deep shore]

That answers my question... You don't have to join in if you don't want to as I am flying solo.

[violet grove]

Same here

I'm french

For my age i speak english well

[violet grove]

Not British= real people

Yes true

[deep shore]

And the first thing I see is someone using a guest Mii using a turbo controller spamming various items.

[violet grove]

Well that a good question

[deep shore]

Also has instant accel

[violet grove]

Cheat ?

[deep shore]

Yep.

This is sad.

[violet grove]

Record him if you Can

[deep shore]

I already am, I'm just not in a race.

[violet grove]

I Always see when i look mk7 Channel or when ppl talk about mk7 to me cheaters

It's crazy

Splatoon have cheaters but less

And mk8 has no cheaters

[violet grove]

Like I wonder if would be a possibility to make a ctgp U do crossplay with ctgp 7

Or other great things

[violet grove]

There already a ctgp U

Ctgp universe (Zêta)

[violet grove]

I know but I am talking about crossplay

[deep shore]

I'm surprised I haven't seen any cheaters in any Wii U game aside from Splatoon

[violet grove]

Never got any cheaters

It would be fun to just log in ctgp 7 and play with both ctgp 7 and ctgp u players

Just 1 on splatoon that make me and Friend Wii U crash with With a shrill sound

Freeze

Only got that on nnid with Minecraft never think about that on splatoon

Maybe a far dream. Maybe just a delirium of mine

But yeah

[violet grove]

It seem impossible to me tbh

Not here to destroy dream but

3ds and WiiU net code are a lot différent

And game code too

They have both their own net code of game

[violet grove]

I mean I don't think it is impossible but it would be needed to make ctgp 7 compatible with ctgp U in the meaning of both online and content

But maybe in a far future

[deep shore]

Does it sound like this ( ⚠️ SOUND WARNING ⚠️ )?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FGxzfsQ3B0

[violet grove]

You mean cross platform WiiU and 3ds playing together

[violet grove]

Yep

[violet grove]

Totally that

Cheaters Can make console crash

Got that a lot of Time on Minecraft (nnid online)

But first Time someone do that to me on splatoon and on pretendo

[violet grove]

Like I said in a far future(20-30 years from now) but if so I would be delighted with it fr.

[violet grove]

It's impossible to do that

[violet grove]

If nintendo slips the source code for 3ds and wii u

As i said

Both code are différent

[violet grove]

Yeah but still I like to dream a bit

Both game Were designed différently

[violet grove]

Yeah i understand that dw

But if we talk seriously

It's not possible

Not even if nintendo's slips the source code for both consoles?(like with the gba on 2020)

I MEAN

Slips?

She was stolen

Yeah

Stolen

Those disgusting hackers

Ah you mean that

Stealing creative property

Having all the code

By illégal ways

Just a hypothesis

I am not into that

Hmm

I don't think

But

They could do a custom Mario kart game playable on both 3ds and wiiu

Even without code slips

Now that you said

Is there any ctgp 64?

Probably

Ik there ctgp dd

For gcn mk

I see

I think not unfortunately

Just looked for it

Maybe too old

Yep

Then probably out of option

Yes

Make sense though

No online

Make sense yeah

[violet grove]

Mkdd doesn't have online but it have ctgp

But yeah besides that I believe there is no way

[violet grove]

Oh I see

Maybe

And I say MAYBE

I think mkdd have lan mode and was originaly gonna get online with the adapter thing yk on the Sp1

Sp1 to ethernet

Adapter

If they port mk8 to 3ds as a demake with lower graphs after reverse engineering

Maybe

[violet grove]

I see

Remake mk7 on Wii u

Would be cool to test it

Hm

Now that you say

Maybe it could work better

No

Because

They need to redo all thé mk7 code for Wii u

I meant better

Not easier

But yeah

Yeah

I mean how does mario maker works with the cross-platform?

Just a question

What about dragon quest X?

[potent urchin]

even if so. they would have to somehow port it over to PowerPC code

because the 3DS uses ARM. (same with the switch)

[white palm]

Who plays?

[tacit gull]

@white palm I was playing ctgp

[white palm]

Okay

What is your name on ctgp

?

[tacit gull]

ShadFox

[white palm]

Are you on the ctgp7 server?

So let's talk there

[tacit gull]

Actually no. I didn’t find it . Yesterday was my first time playing ctgp it’s fun

[candid dome]

anyone wanna join a 3ds wii u and wii friend group dm me

[pine hamlet]

seemed like the luigi, Rick did it but then i saw green shells being spawned out of thin air

[honest agate]

Everyone's items were lagging and duplicating

[pine hamlet]

it def is something different

[honest agate]

I cant tell if its bc of a player or if it's the server

I couldnt get netpass to work so maybe its servers

[pine hamlet]

idk if a server can do this sort of thing, only seen this today

i got dc'ed

[honest agate]

I think it may be server side bc I noticed effects on the bottom screen were very delayed

[pine hamlet]

and again, it def could be the server, no longer able to join

and i was randomly unable to use pretendo at all earlier today

[honest agate]

It took me over an hour to find a match

Someone in general said it was down but I didnt know

[pine hamlet]

possibly, i shouldve checked the status webpage

spectating a match now, seems to be running fine so far

[honest agate]

Like even netpass isnt working for me

I'll try joining again then

[pine hamlet]

strange, does sound like my situation earlier

[tacit gull]

NetPass works for me, I gain 8 tags.

[pine hamlet]

the room im in is working prefectly fine

its possible that other room as being targeted specifically

[honest agate]

Here I'll try joining

[pine hamlet]

you were in my room i believe

[honest agate]

I wasnt

[pine hamlet]

huh, theres was another eggman toad

[honest agate]
