mkw-cs

This project is abandoned in favor of stblr/mkw-sp.

Client-server netcode for Mario Kart Wii, currently in early stages of development.

Overview

The project is in 4 parts:

• A new protocol suited for client-server and compatibility with custom content.

• A client patchset that implements its part of the protocol, lag compensation, as well as a fully custom multiplayer UI.

• A server patchset that also implements its part of the protocol and uses a tailored main loop with a CLI-only option.

• A dispatcher to handle multiple rooms from a single endpoint.

Both the client and the server patchsets are compatible with Wii, vWii and Dolphin.

Building

1. Download and build the CodeWarrior-compatible LLVM.

   mkdir tools
   
   cd tools
   
   git clone git@github.com:DotKuribo/llvm-project.git
   
   cd llvm-project
   
   mkdir build
   
   cd build
   
   cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=PowerPC -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang ../llvm
   
   cmake --build .

2. Build the loader.

   cd ../../loader
   make
