So we can import custom music to GCN games like Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Party 6 and such...

This is a replica of the pre-alpha MKDS from E3 2004. It's WIP and I have a few things to do.

When started, its Name was "Mario Kart DS Alpha Mashup". It originally aimed to restore the GDC 2005 Alpha Version, however when I realized that the Kiosk Demo was closer to the GDC 2005 Alpha than Final, so I made that Alpha Replica into the Kiosk Demo. The Final Hack, was became a E3 2004 Pre-alpha Replica, thus Renamed "Mario Kart DS Pre-alpha Replica". Both this Final Variant, and the Kiosk Demo Variant, will be Released in Q1 2016.

You can give this beta a try:

Patch with XDelta. Get it here:

Version: Beta. Things may differ in the release.

Release Date: Q1 2016.

Yes I know that alpha is incomplete, however no music is boring. Also I didn't have a way to disable music, so I decided to use music. And the early MKDS in GDC 2005 had the title music from MK64. The E3 2004 version had a different GCN Yoshi Circuit and Standard Karts, also;

Chain Chomp was planned as an item; later reprogrammed as Bullet Bill
E. Gadd and Birdo were planned as playable characters; the pink Egg kart that's found was possibly for Birdo
About Courses:
PLANNED: GCN Mario Circuit | Luigi Flipper | Pipe Place | DK Circuit | Koopa Troopa Beach | GCN Block City
NAMES: old_mario_gc | luigi_course | dokan_course | donkey_course | nokonoko_course | mini_block_course
REPLACED BY: DS Mario Circuit | Waluigi Pinball | Figure-8 Circuit | DK Pass | Cheep-Cheep Beach | N64 Block Fort

I'm sure only for luigi_course and donkey_course, because they look extremely similar to Waluigi Pinball and DK Pass. I'm not sure about others.

NEW PROOF: HEART ITEM

Heart item from Mario Kart Double Dash was also going to be in game, because in MKDS Beta's SDAT file, SeqArc => GLOBAL_SE_COMMON, you can find 2 sounds: SEL_HEART and SET_HEART_ITEM_GET. They're used in MKDD for the Heart item but they don't play in-game in MKDS Beta. Their internal names show a proof that the Heart item was going to be in MKDS and possibly replaced by Boo, because both Boo and Heart have similar functions.

No background looks like this course is in nighttime, but if you want a background, then you may try another course_model_V.nsbmd & course_model_V.nsbtx. I hope it works.

This is NOT a complete restoration. However, it will be BASED ON the E3 2004 version. Here's what I added E3 2004 stuff:

Item Machine (in the top-left corner, however I couldn't move it to center)
Green Shell icon (that one looked slightly different from the Kiosk's version)
Lap Indicator (in the top-right corner, however I couldn't move it to bottom screen)
Place Indicator
Time Indicator
Racers List (I couldn't make the text orange till I can find a way to do it)
Standard Kart Texture
GCN Yoshi Circuit course (that one is VERY different from final)

Here's what is based on GDC 2005 Alpha version:
Title screen
Character voice clips

Here's what is based on Kiosk Demo version:
Balloon Battle Balloon texture (battle is accessible in demo with debug menu)
Nintendo DS Battle Course

Here's what early leftovers I used:
OBJECT FILES
CrossTree1 (on Yoshi Falls & Delfino Square, found in Kiosk version)
DeCactus1 (on Desert Hills, found in Kiosk version)
NSCannon2, NSCannon and NSPipe 1 (on Airship Fortress, again, found in Kiosk version)
FireBall (on wario_course, in both Kiosk and Final)
Woodbox1 (on Peach Gardens, found in Kiosk)
test_brock (found in Delfino Square and Bowser Castle CARC files, however I had to texture hack Bridge objects because replacing models will screw objects up)
EarthenPipe1 & 2 from Choco Island 2 was also found.
EARLY MAPS
Desert Hills, Shroom Ridge, Tick-Tock Clock and Bowser Castle had their early maps, so I modded these courses accordingly to their early maps.
MENU
Screenshots of the Alpha menu can be found in Kiosk Demo. (Menu.carc)

Modded courses:
COURSES
I modded Luigi's Mansion and SNES Mario Circuit 1 accordingly to those:
B-DASHER
It had smaller tires in the alpha.
FOR THE REST
To not to leave them the same, I made some stuff on my own, and used them.
