How to: Mario GP 1 on Dolphin Triforce (update: and GP2 on 4.0-315)

[SegaOutrun]

I have previously posted how to play Mario Kart GP2 on Dolphin Triforce 3.0-694. LINK http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133561.msg1375705.html#msg1375705
UPDATE: you can also play GP2 using this method but the link above is still the easiest way to play GP2

This is how to get Mario Kart GP1 to work. GP2 has like 95+% of everything GP1 has so if your only interested in getting one mario game, I recommend you choose GP2 and follow the link above. This is more for die hard people since this one is hard to get to work.

 You will need Three things:

-Dolphin 4.0-309 (Used to create a working save slate only. The controls are broken in 309 making it not playable so, you need 315 to play it)

https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/9a11f2f247652aceb774bc70d8d1

-Dolphin 4.0-315 (used to actually play the game. But it needs a save slate from 309 because it give an I/O error when you boot up. But the controls work in this version making it playable once you have a save slate to skip the startup)

https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/b957980d9f27279d2507a50e115bf275141a4ea7/

-Mario Kart GP1 (IN ISO FORMAT! if you have a different format, you have the wrong one. There are few versions floating around and you want the iso version for this to work)

Step 1: Open and setup Dolphin 4.0-309

Open up 309 and setup the paths and gamecube controls. Next open Options-> Configure -> Gamecube and change SP1 and Port 1 to "AM-Baseboard".



Next right click on Mario Kart GP1 and open properties. In the Game config tab, hit "edit config" on the bottom. It will open your word editor. Paste the following into the editor and hit save.

go to the patches tab and make sure Disable crypto and loop fix is select. close the properties.

2. start the game and insert coin (gamecube Z button). You see a mario card screen.

3. In the Dolphin menu, go to Emulation -> save slate -> choose a slot (shift+F1 is the shortcut for save slot 1)



4. Close Dolphin 4.0-309 and open Dolphin 4.0-315.

5. Setup up Dolphin 4.0-315 paths and GC controls Next open Options-> Configure -> Gamecube and change SP1 and Port 1 to "AM-Baseboard".

(Your save slates should be as default in your documents folder, you do not need to do anything since its the default place)

(R trigger is gas, L trigger is Brake, A is throw and Z is coin)

6. Right Click on the game and click on "edit config" on the bottom. If its not already there, repaste the hack.

7. start the game and load your save slate (default shortcut is F1). You will need to load your save slate everytime =(. if you want to play mario kart with less hassle, scroll up and go to my Mario Kart GP 2 link.

8. enjoy Mario Kart GP1



UPDATE: You can also play Mario Kart GP2 on 4.0-315 using a similar method(Credits to Bruce) . I still recommend playing GP2 using the original method I have linked above because its alot easier. The benefit of this method is you can play with the card system which has special points and prizes (but you need to save slate and load state everything to keep the info)

 You will need Three things:

-Dolphin 4.0-309 (Used to create a working save slate only. The controls are broken in 309 making it not playable so, you need 315 to play it)

https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/b957980d9f27279d2507a50e115bf275141a4ea7/

-Mario Kart GP2 (IN GCM FORMAT! if you have a different format, you have the wrong one. There are few versions floating around and you want tth gcm (PAL) version for this to work)

Step 1: Open and setup Dolphin 4.0-309

Open up 309 and setup the paths and gamecube controls. Next open Options-> Configure -> Gamecube and change SP1 and Port 1 to "AM-Baseboard".




Next right click on Mario Kart GP2 and open properties. In the Game config tab, hit "edit config" on the bottom. It will open your word editor. Paste the following into the editor and hit save.

This is example of the point system. I unlocked the Balanced Kart (You have to create a save slate before you close emu if you want to keep track and load it up again eveytime you play)

This seems like an ideal opportunity to shamelessly plug one of my YouTube videos...



Excellent tutorial BTW dude.

[Sp3c7r3]

what kind of machine do you need to run this?

I have a 2,93ghz i3, 4gb ddr3 ram and a gt630 (2gb) graphics card. Is that enough? Don't want to spend time on this if it's useless in the end.

[lolomc2]

It's more than enough for a CRT screen @640x480. I have a C2D@8400 with an ATI Radeon HD 43xx + calamity drivers and GP2 is running well.

@SegaOutrun
Thank you for sharing that. Can you play with wheel to GP2 ? If yes, could you share the configuration about it ?

Thank you

Thank you

yup, thats the whole point. It easy, just map your wheel to the gamecube controller, R trigger is gas, L trigger is Brake, A is throw, Z is coin and main stick L+R is steering.

here an old vid of my cab playing gp2. I have updated the PC so I can at a higher res and update my wheel to a better quality one since this vid.

THANNNNNNNNKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUU !!!!!! 
THE OPTION 2 (UPDATE) Worked for me. I have an ISO but the first option never worked for me in 4.0. -309, just fatal error unknow dvd command ed00000000.      Now both codes .inis  and change to am board worked perfect!!!!!!!!!

Is the above information still correct? Dolphin still just crashes for me when I click play.

[MrThunderwing]

Is the above information still correct? Dolphin still just crashes for me when I click play.

The above information is still correct because it pertains to previously released, very specific numbered builds of the Triforce version of Dolphin - this won't work with just any old version. Just follow SegaOutrun's instructions, using the exact versions of Dolphin he recommends (which he's even provided links for) and you'll be able to play it. Simples.

Thanks, I was having a problem with a failing link, but it seems it's working now.

[mickael28]

I've been trying it for a while today, pretty good. A couple of doubts if you guys have played before:

1. Is there any way to setup the rumble/Force feedback in dolphin for GP1 or GP2? I can see my wheel rumbling on the options, but nothing happens when the game starts (I choose all options inside the rumble menu)
2. Is there a way to change the camera in this game? I doubt it, but just in case I'm missing it, like driving inside the kart...
3. Any idea how one can drift here? I'm just used to the Mario Kart DS, where one could turn, brake, move the cursor to the oposite direction (and you could do this a few times to get more speed when leaving the corner). But I'm trying something similar here, and the only thing I seem to do is kind of bumping against the walls or taking the corners too wide, not a proper drift...
