Automatic Updates

If you don't have an internet connection on your Wii or don't want to use automatic updates, you can download updates for CTGP-R v1.03 from here. Simply download the update and put it on your SD card in the root directory. When you next start the CTGP-R channel, you will be prompted to update. You may put multiple updates on at the same time in this manner. With these manual updates, you cannot "skip" versions by not downloading them. For example, if you wanted to upgrade from v1.03.0024 to v1.03.0028, you would still need to download the v1.03.0026 update files as well. Downloading them in order is the best way to take care of it.

Some usage statistics are available for the update server.

2024-03-02	1.03.1156-7	Channel hotfix update! Inevitable as always. Fixed another instance where CTGP may prevent you from allowing non-CTGP players in rooms, even with the correct settings. Fixed a display error related to 200cc times in local ghosts, where the category would not be properly displayed.
2024-02-29	1.03.1156-6	Supporting update (required for the new code and tracks to work!)
2024-02-29	1.03.1156-5	Code update! This will not function without the channel update below. Altered the way CTGP handles TT shortcuts, so we should be able to make new categories much more easily in future. Attempted a fix for the "remote squash" hack, where a cheater could force you to be flattened as if struck by a mega mushroom whenever they so desired. A whole load of code has been added in preparation for an experiment regarding TT inputs. Pause inputs are now logged into ghosts. When replayed in CTGP, you will hear the "pause resume" sound whenever a run paused. In an RKG input viewer or hex editor, they are visible as mask 0x40 in the face button array, as a one frame input, listed two frames AFTER the pause actually occurred.
2024-02-29	1.03.1156-4	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks! New shortcut categories on the following tracks in the Ghost DB: Banished Keep, Big Express City, Colour Wonderland, Desert Castle Raceway, Dragon Burial Grounds, Festival Town, Final Grounds, Frantic Funyard, Fungal Jungle, GCN Bowser's Castle, GCN Mushroom City, GCN Rainbow Road, Hell Pyramid, Jungle Cliff, Kinoko Cave, Strobenz Desert Illusion, Underground Sky, Wuhu Island, GCN Wario Colosseum, N64 Frappe Snowland, Neo Koopa City, Twin Peaks and τ-Cryovolcano.

2024-02-29	1.03.1156-1	Channel update! This will not work properly without all the updates from above. Fixed the bug where you couldn't allow non-CTGP players to join friend rooms, even if all setting were correct. Various changes to support the other updates above.
2023-12-25	1.03.1154-5	Supporting update (required for the new tracks to work).

2023-11-21	1.03.1150-11	Supporting update (required for the hotfix to work.)
2023-11-21	1.03.1150-10	Small hotfix update. Fixed various glitches associated with the quick solo TT function. It should now no longer summon random ghosts when you use it and a few other oddities should be resolved as well. Live views for CTWW/Countdown now have a position tracker, checkpoint resync logic made this feature basically free.
2023-11-15	1.03.1150-9	Supporting update (required for the new tracks and features to work!)
2023-11-15	1.03.1150-8	The rest of the staff ghost update.
2023-11-15	1.03.1150-7	Part of the staff ghost update.

2023-11-15	1.03.1150-4	New track: Gallant Grotto, replacing Sea Stadium! New track: Shy Guy Lumber Co., replacing Volcano Canyon! Fixed glitch shortcut on Terra Ursae.
2023-11-15	1.03.1150-3	Updated Delfino Island to its latest version. Updated GBA Broken Pier to its latest version. Updated Sandstone Cliffs to its latest version.
2023-11-15	1.03.1150-2	Code and feature update for CTGP! Requires the channel update to work properly! New host friend room toggle: Allow Mii Heads on Minimap. If set to NO, the Mii Heads on Minimap feature will be disabled for everyone in the room. New host friend room toggle: Allow Draggable Blue Shells. If set to NO, the Draggable Blue Shells feature will be disabled for everyone in the room. New host friend room toggle: Repeat Vote Prevention. Using this setting, it's possible to enable or disable CTGP's feature to prevent tracks from being replayed in a friend room. It's also possible to set it to remember the last played tracks between each GP, too, to avoid repicks on subsequent GPs, assuming the host doesn't quit or close the room in the meantime. New host friend room toggle: Shroom Glitch! With this feature, the host can control whether the "Shroom Glitch" (which is actually not a glitch at all, but a weird feature that Nintendo coded), where after 17 boxes online you start getting single mushrooms no matter what your position is, is enabled or not. When disabled, you can hit as many boxes as you like and you'll never get infinite shrooms. Proximity thunderclouds have been added to CTGP, as a friend room host toggle, and always enabled in both CTWW and offline matches (doesn't affect CPUs). When enabled, if you are about to receive a thundercloud from an item box (at the time of touching the box), the game will scan for 2 nearby opponents (within 3500 unit radius of your current location), in an attempt to give you the best chance of being able to pass it. If it fails to find enough players, you will receive a single mushroom instead of a cloud. Doesn't affect boxes that always give thunderclouds, and totally disables thunderclouds in rooms with 3 players or less. The ability to disable thunderclouds on the final lap has also been added, as a friend room host toggle, always active in CTWW and offline matches (except CPUs). When enabled, there will be no thunderclouds on the final lap of the race. In the event of a 1 lap track, it will block clouds after the game considers 50% of the lap to be complete. Doesn't affect boxes that always give thunderclouds. New host friend room toggle: Allow Ultra Shortcuts. When enabled, lap skip glitch shortcuts, e.g. driving around the rock on Grumble Volcano or Wario's Gold Mine's pipe bounce will count laps. A new setting has been added to the friend room "Engine Class" restriction: 100/150/Mirror (33%). This setting grants an equal chance of getting 100cc, 150cc or Mirror at the start of an online GP. A new setting, Menu Transition Speed, has been added to CTGP. If set to "Instant", almost all animations on menus are skipped, allowing the game to be navigated very quickly. This feature automatically disables in TT mode (as it makes pause buffering too easy) and at the main friend room interface (because it can lead to room state desyncs). Please note that using instant menu transition speed may introduce some minor visual bugs when navigating the menus. These don't appear to be harmful, they just look a bit silly. Completely rewrote how Random functions online. Nowadays if you press the Random button, it will generate a "?" Random instead of doing the shuffle animation. These votes are able to select from all eligible tracks for a mode, including ones not in your cup layout, such as secret tracks. This new Random completely obeys the Repeat Vote Prevention setting and list of recently played tracks. The classic shuffle Random can still be used by pressing START or + when highlighting a cup. Shuffle Random has also been improved to partially observe the Repeat Vote setting, but only at the cup level. Once it selects a cup, it shouldn't pick a track that's been played in the last 16 races, unless all four of the tracks have been or the setting is off. The new Random feature, when used in Host Always Wins Vote mode, will only pick from the host's track list, obeying the cup layout. New online checkpoint resync logic: The game now actively transmits current lap and checkpoint to opponents. This means that position tracker errors can be quickly resolved, meaning that everyone 1st glitches should hopefully be a thing of the past. It also allows ultra shortcuts to track properly online for the first time ever. Doesn't work in WW VS, but does work in CTWW, Countdown and friend rooms restricted to CTGP players. You can now press X (GCN/Classic), A (Wiimote) or C (Nunchuk) when highlighting a track in TT mode to skip the ghost selection screen and go straight to a solo TT. The game now automatically highlights your "Favourite Character" and "Favourite Vehicle" (as according to the Records screen) when you select a license, instead of defaulting to Mario/Standard Kart M. Alterations to how joining friend rooms works, which may result in a reduction to the "Client synchronisation error" that occurs if too many players attempt to join a room at once. If you have the wrong settings when attempting to join a friend room, you should be informed immediately on clicking "Join Friend" rather than having to wait a bit. Fixed a bug in Knockout Mode where your bonuses might disappear randomly if there was a guest in the room. Added a timeout at the end of a Knockout Mode race so the host doesn't get stuck and disconnect if a client is lagging out. Various fixes to Countdown mode to improve compatibility with the 24 player beta. Major internal rewrite of various older features. Theroetically this should be hard to notice, since they should function similarly/identically to before. Various alterations to LAN mode to hopefully make it less prone to crashing.
2023-11-15	1.03.1150-1	Channel update! This will not work properly without all the updates from above. Altered the automatic updater such that it's more easily able to recover from "Unable to connect!" errors. By cancelling and pressing the Updates button again, it will forcibly reset the network, which fixes many issues. An entirely new page of settings has been added, all dedicated to new friend room settings - see above update for more info! A couple of new settings have been added on existing pages - again see above. Various security upgrades and patches in response to new exploits. Alphabetical should now be the default ordering of tracks for anyone new to CTGP. Friend room hosts are now required to have the same (or lower) My Stuff setting as the players allowed to join them (e.g. a host with My Stuff ON cannot mandate players to join with My Stuff OFF, but a host with My Stuff OFF could allow any My Stuff restriction). Changelog feature can now display more than one page.

2022-11-10	1.03.1138-7	Supporting update (required for the hotfixes to work).
2022-11-10	1.03.1138-6	Game hotfix update. Attempted to improve spectator mode in Item Rain (hopefully the items will be more consistent now). A security hotfix (thanks to Star and Riidefi for pointing it out to us!) The game will no longer get stuck at the end of the race if you view a live replay (straight after finishing a run) with Remove Game Music enabled. Fix for a bug that sometimes caused the voting screen to crash when a network timeout occurred (hopefully).
2022-11-10	1.03.1138-5	Channel hotfix update. Fix for a bug that sometimes caused the channel to crash when connecting to the Ghost DB. Limited the number of records that can be displayed on a ghost leaderboard in the channel to prevent crashes from massive leaderboards (e.g. Luigi Circuit 150cc). Fixed a bug where, if you had a 24P access code on your SD card and attempted to use the SD card on another Wii/Wii U console, the channel would repeatedly ask you to re-enter the access code on each boot. Fixed a major bug in the networking which was causing any error to cause a deadlock in the networking thread, not allowing for any retries. By proxy, this fixed a bug where new users who didn't have Internet on their console couldn't get past the introduction sequence! Minor adjustments to the channel installer.
2022-10-25	1.03.1138-4	Supporting update (required for the new tracks to work).
2022-10-25	1.03.1138-3	Adds staff ghost data to the new tracks!

2022-08-12	1.03.1134-2	Supporting update (required for the hotfix to work).
2022-08-12	1.03.1134-1	Hotfix update. Fixed a bug on DK Ruins where objects would be at the wrong scale in split-screen modes. Since this is a multiplayer mode update only, this update does not reset the track leaderboard, so there is no need to redo TTs on this track for stars or records.
2022-08-11	1.03.1132-4	Supporting update (required for the new tracks to work).
2022-08-11	1.03.1132-3	Adds staff ghost data to the new tracks!

2022-07-16	1.03.1130-8	Supporting update (required for the hotfix to work).
2022-07-16	1.03.1130-7	Predictable hotfix update. Hopefully fixed a bug that was still allowing 100cc to appear in CTWW (albeit EXTREMELY rarely). Patched a small error in the Wiimmfi reconnection logic. Attempted to add a fix for the long-standing bug in MKW, where online opponents going over a halfpipe ramp could get themselves stuck temporarily or permanently out of bounds. Now an online opponent will have their position corrected if they've been in the "halfpipe" state for more than 3.5 seconds.
2022-07-15	1.03.1130-6	Supporting update (required for the new code to work).
2022-07-15	1.03.1130-5	Adds Ghost DB shortcut category to GCN Mario Circuit.
2022-07-15	1.03.1130-4	Large quality of life code update. CTWW is now 150cc and Mirror only (85% 150cc, 15% Mirror) regardless of player VR. New BRLYT/BRCTR based speedometer with up to optional 2 decimal places, designed to reduce game slowdown caused by the inefficient old speedometer. Remove Game Music feature completely reworked, it now removes menu music properly and doesn't cause the audio to lower in races. Automatic BRSAR patcher feature was also updated; when enabled it now also prevents the game from muting the music if you add a song that has too few channels for the track you're playing! No more needing to My Stuff either massive BRSTMs or tracks without sound triggers. If you get disconnected from Wiimmfi with specific errors (91010, 94020), you won't be booted from your current game!! (This does not apply to 91010 caused by the Wiimmfi kick feature, though). In the event of a disconnect mid-match, the game will reconnect to the server in the background as you keep playing. Text at the main friend room interfaces/in between WW/CTWW races will indiciate if there's server connection troubles and warn not to quit. Significantly reduced the frequency of Error Code 86420 (the NATNEG fail error) while hosting a public match (ONLY while hosting, as it can't be solved for players who are joining). Many different internal systems were rewritten to try to reduce game slowdown. Frameskip now can skip all the way to like 10FPS or so, including on 30FPS scenes where frameskip didn't used to work. Completely rewritten "artifical lag" system to work with the new frameskip. (The artificial lag system is a Nintendo system where, if your game slows down, you tell your opponents to slow their games too to sync clocks. It was never very good). A tool to monitor the performance of frameskip online has been added as a hidden config setting. This is for track authors/testers to see where tracks tend to lag, and general performance. To access this, open SD:/ctgpr/config.ini in a text editor, and alter the line "frameskip_monitor = no" to yes, then when in an online race, press ACCEL+BRAKE+PAUSE to pull up (or remove) the stats. LAN mode no longer permits players with differing master CTGP version numbers to play with each other. Knockout mode lowest GP score mode will not erroneously KO additional players if too many players disconnect on the voting screen before the final race of a GP. Knockout mode now displays "free round" text if the amount of non-finished DCed players exceeds the amount of players who would be KO'd that round. A few new antifreezes for game crashing cheat codes have been added. Fixed a bug in 24P voting that rarely causes spectators to win the vote, or causes the voting screen to get stuck and disconnect. Fixed some issue with 24P team assignments being reversed from what they were meant to be. Fixed spurious EC 51420 that sometimes happens when using wired connections. Implemented sending various Wiimmfi telemetry data that CTGP was lagging behind the main patcher on.
2022-07-15	1.03.1130-3	Had to split above update into two parts for it to install correctly, cause the updater is weird.
2022-07-15	1.03.1130-2	New assets for the speedometer. (These can be downloaded here for use with custom menu/HUD layouts in the My Stuff folder).
2022-07-15	1.03.1130-1	Channel update. This will not work properly without all updates from above! Channel installer (Add/Remove CTGP-R Channel button) now significantly more reliable. Special thanks to Palapeli for the help! Restricted access to channel installer if updater is active. Installing/removing channel no longer breaks networking. Ghetto fix for the alpha fadeout bug where sometimes channel menus would get overlayed with each other after using the CTGP-R Channel for a while. Fix for the bug where the channel would sometimes crash while booting the game. You can now have up to 5 24P beta access codes saved on one SD card.
2022-05-26	1.03.1128-3	Supporting update (required for the new tracks to work).
2022-05-26	1.03.1128-2	Adds staff ghost data to the new tracks!

2021-09-27	1.03.1112-6	Large feature update for CTGP! This update has been released in a rush and therefore may contain more bugs than a standard release. We decided that several of the features here were too important to wait, and we can fix anything that comes up as we go. Knockout Mode has been added as a new online friend room mode! Offline support not available yet, but is planned. This is an elimination-style game mode where you get knocked out for racing poorly, either at the end of each race, or the end of each GP, depending on the host's settings. The last person standing once everyone else has been knocked out is the winner! The amount of racers knocked out each round is controlled by the host, and can even change mid-GP if so desired (e.g. 2 players KO'd per round until 4 players are left, then 1 player KO'd per round till the end). If you get knocked out, you will be offered the chance to watch the rest of the room to see who wins, or quit out of the room. (Please note: If the host is KO'd, they MUST watch the rest of the races to keep the room alive). Knockout Mode features a reward system for consistently good racing. Depending on the host's settings, you can either earn bonus items (which can be activated whenever you do not have any other item by holding down your "use item" button for 0.5 seconds) or have increased chance of having your track picked during voting (indicated by the percentage next to the track name when the roulette is rolling)! This reward system can be disabled in the KO settings, and unused bonuses carry over between races - save them for when you need them! LAN multiplayer mode now supports Internet-based connections. Using this, it's now possible to play online friend rooms without the requirement for either Wiimmfi or the CTGP-R update server to be available, meaning that no matter what happens, you'll always be able to play friend rooms online! (Please note, UPnP is highly recommended when playing LAN rooms over the Internet. In order to host, it MUST be enabled, unless you manually alter some settings in the CTGP config.ini file. If you're not hosting, you can join LAN over Internet matches without UPnP, but you may cause room stability issues). To play an Internet-based room over LAN, set "Network Multiplayer Mode" to "LAN" on page 2 of CTGP-R Channel settings. Boot game, and select "LAN Multiplayer" from the main menu. The host should click "Create a Room", then once their room is open, press START or + depending on the controller to reveal the join code. Players who wish to join that room should press the "Direct Connection" button and enter the code from the host, and they should join right up and be able to play. Remember to change the "Network multiplayer mode" setting back when you want to play on Wiimmfi again! A test fix for lag starts has been added. The game can now start the countdown before the camera is positioned correctly (which is the cause of lag starts, the camera taking too long). This may be slightly jarring at first, but you get used to it and, in my experience, it never caused me to miss a boost start. We can alter it if people do not like it. Please note that not ALL lag starts can be removed but this should catch the most common case. A spectator mode has been added to friend rooms. By altering the "Maximum allowed spectators" setting on page 6 of the CTGP-R Channel, you can allow people to spectate your friend rooms (set to 0 to block all spectators). Please note that spectators consume peer slots, so, for instance, you wouldn't be able to have 12 racers + 1 spectator, you'd be limited to 11 players. Spectator works best on VS mode and doesn't work well on Countdown, and is still subject to standard in-game lag for now. Please note that spectators can observe all players and see what items they're holding; make sure to set "Maximum allowed spectators" to 0 when hosting competitive matches (unless you're planning to have a caster as a spectator or some such). Please note that in Knockout mode, players who get eliminated are always allowed to spectate, regardless of the channel setting. BRSTM only My Stuff mode support has been added as both a My Stuff setting and as a room restriction. When this mode is enabled, only BRSTM files from the My Stuff folder will be loaded. BRSTMs can now override BRSAR volume controls. As the BRSTM only My Stuff mode doesn't allow a revo_kart.brsar, a new way to control the volume has been added. In a hex editor, if you change the byte at offset 0x3F of a BRSTM to a number between 0x01 and 0x7F (1 - 127), that value will be interpreted by CTGP as a volume and it will use that. (Setting it to 0 uses the BRSAR volume). Dedicated tools will likely be released in the coming days to do this more easily. Host Always Wins Vote mode has been upgraded, no longer do you have to sit through a pointless vote which inevitably results in the host winning, instead you get treated to a little waiting screen while the host picks the track, streamlining the whole thing. Various new assets were added for KO mode and LAN over Internet, these can be downloaded here for people who wish to add them to their custom menu layouts.
2021-09-27	1.03.1112-5	CTGP-R Channel update. Adds new interfaces to setup KO mode (see page 6 of settings). Fixes to UPnP mode so that it won't get stuck. Added a UPnP indicator when launching the game to show the status of UPnP (green = success, yellow = in progress, red = fail). Various backend changes for update shown above! Hopefully fixed the channel installer so it won't get stuck anymore. Thanks to TheLordScruffy for pointing me in the direction of the likely problem! Fixed at least one bug in the automatic updater, so hopefully there'll be less infinitely looping updates and corrupted packs. We suspect there's more, though...

2021-01-07	1.03.1100-8	Supporting update (required for the new features to work).
2021-01-07	1.03.1100-7	Region lines have returned, 7 years later than planned! Your region line in game will be determined by your Wii's country setting (not disc region as is the game's default behaviour). This will also affect what regional you connect to if you search for a regional match. The normal behaviour (using disc region) can be obtained by altering a hidden setting in CTGP's config.ini file. If you want a white line, better be Taiwanese! Removed the region check on save data loading. This means changing your country will not cause the game to prompt you to delete your save data. Added a toggle for the "Battle Bug" (Long Distance Names, page 3 of settings) that triggers a bug in Mario Kart Wii that allows you to see your opponents' names from a larger distance than normal during VS mode offline and online. Added a toggle for 24 player users that allows them to completely disable the 24 player code base (page 3 of settings). This will allow to them to enter online battle mode again and not be subject to the beta's many bugs at all times, among other things. Attempted fix for a bug that, with a roughly 1 in 600 probability, caused the game to produce corrupted ghosts that the server would not show on the leaderboards. Times previously affected by this bug will be added later down the line. Fixed Ignorance is Bliss strength when starting a Worldwide or CTWW from a friend room. Fixed a bug where sometimes the game would crash when you open a friend room. Fixed LAN mode, which was broken by the security update a while ago. Probably some other hotfixes, I forget. Behind the scenes changes to make code and track updates easier.
2021-01-07	1.03.1100-6	CTGP-R Channel update. Better late than never! Adds interfaces for stuff shown above.
2020-12-25	1.03.1100-5	Supporting update (required for the new tracks to work). Merry Christmas, everyone!

2020-11-09	1.03.1094-9	Various bugfixes for the recent update. Fixed a bug where some friend room rules would switch off when a GP completed, when they weren't supposed to. Fixed a bug where it was not actually possible to form new CTWWs without using the friend room feature. Yeah, really. We didn't notice that for 3 days because so many people were trying the new feature so it looked like everything was normal. Hopefully fixed a bug where starting a Worldwide VS from a friend room would disable the Mii Heads on the Minimap setting.
2020-11-06	1.03.1094-8	Supporting update (required for the new update to work).
2020-11-06	1.03.1094-7	A minor bugfix for the original release.
2020-11-06	1.03.1094-6	Security update for MKW. Patched several exploits brought to our attention by Star, and altered a bunch of behind the scenes stuff. In addition, some new friend room modes have been added to CTGP. These were ready before the security update and so are being included too. In rooms where you have appropriate settings and everyone is on CTGP, you can now choose to start a Worldwide VS race, a Worldwide Battle, a CTWW or a public Countdown from within a friend room! This means you can gather a crew of racers together, and then open up your room to the public for additional players to join at their leisure. More features are planned for friend rooms, but there wasn't time to complete them for now.
2020-11-06	1.03.1094-5	IMPORTANT: You MUST get this update if you wish to upload ghosts to the Ghost Database! Security update for CTGP in response to an exploit being released that permitted players to run CTGP on Dolphin. Malicious players abused this bug to submit cheated times to the leaderboards, which is the reason why the leaderboards were not accepting runs for the past week. This is not the major security update that we've been wanting to make, but a stop-gap one designed to make the leaderboards accessible once more. Special thanks goes to Scruffy, Seeky, Invoxi and Star for bringing this exploit to our attention ahead of time, we would not have been able to create a fix so quickly if not for them!

2020-05-26	1.03.1080-2	Version sync update 2: Match version and files with 24 player beta. Note: This does NOT mean the 24 player beta is done, no.
2020-05-26	1.03.1080-1	Version sync update 1: Match version and files with 24 player beta. Note: This does NOT mean the 24 player beta is done, no.
2020-04-26	1.03.1076-15	Do NOT install to a CTGP that has 24 player mode. Use automatic updater instead! Supporting update (required for this latest update to work).
2020-04-26	1.03.1076-14	Do NOT install to a CTGP that has 24 player mode. Use automatic updater instead! Adds support for super fast connections into the game (via UPnP and new NAT treversal techinques. No more waiting for room stability! Slight changes to how racing packets are sent, to reduce in-game slowdown by avoiding unnecessary processing. Added a recovery mode for when not everyone sees all players during friend room waiting (which prevents rooms from starting), and the "Phantom Racer" glich in Worldwide. New voting screen timeout logic prevents rooms getting stuck on "Please wait" forever before a match.
2020-04-26	1.03.1076-13	Do NOT install to a CTGP that has 24 player mode. Use automatic updater instead! CTGP-R Channel Update. Adds a toggle for UPnP connections, which allow the total skipping of NATNEG (waiting for room stability online) if your router supports it!
2020-03-01	1.03.1076-12	Supporting update (required for this latest update to work).
2020-03-01	1.03.1076-11	Made some alterations to how framerates are handled. Some behind the scenes modifications to do with text rendering. Exciting.

2019-11-03	1.03.1076-9	Supporting update (required for the frameskip update to work).
2019-11-03	1.03.1076-8	In-game implementation of the frameskip feature!
2019-11-03	1.03.1076-7	CTGP-R Channel Update. Adds a frameskip mode to Mario Kart Wii! This will prevent the game from running slowly when the Wii gets overloaded from complicated tracks and similar, by skipping render frames, thus introducing a noticeable stutter when ordinarily the game would lag, but critically not causing the game to slow down. A toggle has been added to page 2 of settings to determine how the new frameskip feature should work. If set to Variable, the game will always try to recover to 60fps no matter what. Modes that were originally forced to 30fps by CTGP will now run at 60, but with frameskip. If set to Consistent, the game will try to avoid frameskipping in favour of a constant framerate, so if the game starts to lag regularly, it will transition to 30fps mode and stay there. Modes that CTGP set to 30fps before will still be set to 30fps. Fixed a bug where cancelling game launch at inopportune moments would prevent the game from launching again and channel from exiting properly.
2019-10-26	1.03.1076-6	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1076 work).

Wiimmfi NATNEG speed dramatically increased; no more waiting ages for rooms to become stable! Better NATNEG retry logic prevents players from having stuck NATNEG for extended periods. Attempted to fix the extremely rare bug where sometimes 200cc times could appear on 150cc leaderboards.
2019-05-19	1.03.1074-6	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1074 work).

New track: CTR Blizzard Bluff, replacing Daisy Gardens! Note: The tracks that were removed in this particular update were only removed because the author of the tracks threatened DMCA action against CTGP. Obviously, I don't wish to fight a legal battle with a track author. I apologise to anyone who used to enjoy them!
2019-05-19	1.03.1074-2	New track: Warp Pipe Island, replacing Stone Route! New track: Lava Lake, replacing F-Zero White Land 1! Updated White Garden to its latest version. Updated N64 Kalimari Desert to a brand new version!

2019-01-05	CHAN 0.04.0090-2	Supporting update (required to make 200cc work!)
2019-01-05	CHAN 0.04.0090-1	Adds support for 200cc to MKW/CTGP! 200cc can be activated in the settings menu, page 3 for offline, page 4 for friend rooms. It can also be used in Time Trial by selecting the in-game button for it! Adds Ghost Database support for 200cc. Adds fast falling for 200cc. In 200cc mode, tilt analog stick up (or lean Wii Wheel flat) to nosedive and land much faster from jumps! Adds brake drifting for 200cc. In 200cc mode, press the following buttons: Wiimote - 1+2+B, Nunchuk: A+B+D-pad down, Classic/GCN: A+B+R to brake while drifting! This allows sharper turning, but beware, go too slow and you'll lose the drift!

2018-12-03	1.03.1070-1	A bug in the updater caused New Moon Manor to install incorrectly and crash in VS and online; this update fixes it.

2018-11-15	1.03.1066-14	Hotfix number 4! You know you love 'em. Fixes a bug for some people that prevented them from loading the game with CTWW enabled.
2018-11-09	1.03.1066-13	Hotfix number 3! Twenty seconds after releasing the other hotfix, I found a different bug I needed to fix! Fixed a bug where getting a disc read error would also crash the game!
2018-11-09	1.03.1066-12	Hotfix number 2! Fixed a bug where brand new consoles would error when trying to connect to Wiimmfi!
2018-11-07	1.03.1066-11	Haha, and the hotfixes begin...
2018-11-07	1.03.1066-10	Hugely experimental update: Please let me know if this crashes a lot! This update is an internal test of new features. On the surface, not much has changed, but a major recode has been under way and this update is serving to test it. Hopefully you just won't notice anything new. Fixed a minor bug in CTGP's networking. Fixed ANOTHER bug in Ignorance is Bliss.
2018-10-26	1.03.1066-9	IMPORTANT: This update requires the CHAN 0.04.0084 update to work! Added an Error Code 60000 skip. It is now possible to use licenses that would normally get Error Code 60000! A license that would previously get EC60000 will get a new friend code when it connects. No other data will be erased, you will keep your VR, BR, unlocked characters, etc. Added a Wiimmfi error code printer. This will make any 23XXX error codes far more descriptive and obvious than before. Fixed a couple of bugs in Ignorance is Bliss.
2018-10-26	CHAN 0.04.0084	Mostly a supporting update to the one above. Required for the 1.03.1066-9 update to work!
2018-08-25	1.03.1066-8	Altered LAN multiplayer settings so it is possible to disable High Data Rate mode. Altered Item Rain for better network synchronisation.
2018-08-22	1.03.1066-7	Hotfix 2: Hotfix 1 was only half correct. Now it's actually correct! I hope.
2018-08-22	1.03.1066-6	Hotfix: Corrected two incorrect Countdown time limits.
2018-08-21	1.03.1066-5	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1066 work)
2018-08-21	1.03.1066-4	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks!
2018-08-21	1.03.1066-3	Supporting update (required to make the new tracks work)
2018-08-21	1.03.1066-2	New track: Sky Grove, replacing Moonlight Downtown! New track: Nightlife Party, replacing BassBasher City! Updated GCN Mushroom Bridge to a brand new version! Updated GCN Sherbet Land to its latest version.
2018-08-21	1.03.1066-1	New track: Unnamed Valley, replacing Candy Mountains! New track: Dawn Township, replacing Super Sky Courtyard! Updated Sunset Circuit to a brand new version! Updated DS Bowser Castle to a brand new version! Updated DS Waluigi Pinball to its latest version.
2018-07-25	1.03.1064-6	Hotfix: Corrected music on GCN Dry Dry Desert. As lovely as Moonview Highway's music is, it doesn't really fit that track.
2018-07-25	1.03.1064-5	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1064 work)
2018-07-25	1.03.1064-4	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks!

2018-07-17	1.03.1062-5	This update will NOT function without the CHAN 0.04.0082 update! Adds support for USB GameCube ports to Mario Kart Wii! It allows you to connect the official Nintendo USB GameCube ports designed for Smash 4 to your Wii U (or Wii, if you desire) and then use GameCube controllers with those to control the game. It works with third party clones that function in the same way as it, too.
2018-07-17	CHAN 0.04.0082	Adds support for USB GameCube ports to the game! Improves connection times to the Ghost Database significantly by introducing compression. Fixed a minor bug in the channel installer.
2018-06-21	1.03.1062-4	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1062 work)
2018-06-21	1.03.1062-3	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks!

2018-06-21	1.03.1062-1	New track: Wuhu Mountain, replacing Rooster Island! New track: Cottonplant Forest, replacing SNES Vanilla Lake 1! Updated SNES Mario Circuit 1 to a brand new version! Updated GP Mario Beach to a brand new version! Updated Marble Towers to its latest version. Updated Calidae Desert to its latest version. Updated DK Ruins to its latest version. Updated GBA Boo Lake to its latest version. Updated Comet Starway to its latest version, hopefully fixing the respawn bug we intended to fix last time but failed to because we suck.
2018-05-29	MY STUFF 1.03.0012	New functionality for the My Stuff folder: You can now set the My Stuff folder to be on, but with no track replacements enabled. This means that you can quickly turn off replaced tracks while still keeping the rest of your My Stuff enabled, without needing to change files on the SD card. Requires the CHAN 0.04.0078 update.
2018-05-29	1.03.1060-6	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1060 work)
2018-05-29	1.03.1060-5	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks!
2018-05-29	1.03.1060-4	Supporting update (required to make the new tracks work) This update will NOT work properly without the CHAN 0.04.0078 update! Allows friend room hosts to restrict what kinds of players can join their rooms. Specifically, a host can now mandate that a joining player is using CTGP, specify whether or not their custom tracks must be on or off, and specify whether the My Stuff folder is allowed, allowed if it doesn't contain track replacements, or not allowed at all. Anyone without the correct settings will get a message saying they are unable to join and if using CTGP, why they can't join. CTGP will automatically activate this setting if certain rules not compatible with regular MKW, or rules not compatible with CTGP with custom tracks off are selected. Fixed a bug where the room rule ticker would display "Always 50cc" if a host didn't specify an engine class.
2018-05-29	1.03.1060-3	New track: Desktop Dash, replacing Cyberstate! Updated Bowser's Fiery Fortress to a brand new version! Updated Sunset Forest to a brand new version!
2018-05-29	1.03.1060-2	New track: Tropical Factory, replacing Sunny Island! Updated GBA Mario Circuit to a brand new version! Updated Comet Starway to its latest version.
2018-05-29	1.03.1060-1	New track: Dark Matter Shrine, replacing Fire Palace! Updated Aquadrom Stage to a brand new version! Updated DS Shroom Ridge to a brand new version!
2018-05-29	CHAN 0.04.0078	Update to the CTGP-R Channel. Fixed a bug where having tracks in the My Stuff folder made ghost database connections very slow. Added more settings to the settings menu for new in-game features of the update!
2018-05-16	1.03.1058-6	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1058 work)
2018-05-16	1.03.1058-5	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks!
2018-05-16	1.03.1058-4	Supporting update (required to make the new tracks work) This update will NOT work properly without the CHAN 0.04.0076 update! Added a dedicated LAN multiplayer mode! Allows you to play races with consoles on your network without the need of an Internet Connection or custom server. New game mode: Item Rain! Can be used offline, or in private rooms online or in LAN play. Causes items to fall down from the sky at random, littering the track. Makes races pretty hectic. New setting: All items can land! This allows items that don't usually land on the track to land, where you can pick them up to activate them. Has the side effect of allowing multiple people to hold normally restricted items (like shocks, bullets). Usable offline and in private rooms online, or in LAN play. Combine with item rain for chaos! Reinstated VR search. When searching for opponents, the game will attempt to match you with a host of similar rank for 80 seconds. If it fails, it will match you with anyone. It is hoped that this will help balance online racing rooms to make races less one-sided! New logic to determine engine class in CTWW/Countdown: If the average VR of the room is 7500 or higher, the odds of each engine class are as follows: 5% 100cc, 65% 150cc, 30% Mirror. If the average VR is lower, the game's normal behaviour will be used. New setting: Item boxes can now be disabled in friend rooms. Also works on LAN. New setting: High data rate for online multiplayer/LAN. This attempts to reduce online lag by sending more data per second to the other racers. It does not guarantee lagless races, but it does vastly improve things, especially in smaller rooms. Please note that latency between countries will still apply, and approximately 1 - 2 Mbps upstream and downstream is required from all players to take full advantage of this. Heavy lagging will occur if someone doesn't have enough upstream. Fixed the bug where you can race multiple ghosts at once on Nintendo tracks. Still not quite sure how that was possible in the first place. Fixed a bug where trying to load unencrypted ghosts (such as from Dolphin) would crash the game. Fixed a bug where playing battles online with CTs disabled but IIB on would sometimes crash the game. Adjusted 2 player local multiplayer to 30 fps to reduce lag. The playable Mii characters are now unlocked automatically.
2018-05-16	1.03.1058-3	New track: Underground Sky, replacing Alpine Circuit! New track: Dragonite's Island, replacing Yellow Loop! Fixed cup icons so that they're prettier and take less space. This may fix 4P mode by freeing up memory. Removed glitched movie clips from track selection screens.
2018-05-16	1.03.1058-2	New track: Daisy Hillside, replacing Psyduck Cliffs! New track: Festival Town, replacing Citro's Wedding Altar! Updated Autumn Leavesway to its latest version, which features a brand new track layout!
2018-05-16	1.03.1058-1	New track: Cave Island, replacing Faraway Land! New track: Big Express City, replacing District 65! Updated Final Grounds to its latest version. Texturing is now beautiful. Updated Mushroom Island to its latest version.
2018-05-16	CHAN 0.04.0076	Update to the CTGP-R Channel. Fixed the bug where local ghosts population could get stuck, and cause the channel to stop reading the SD card completely. Made the Ghost Database connection process more transparent. Removed the green flash when the game boots. Attempts to activate 16:9 aspect ratio when loading from Wii U Homebrew Channel if the Wii U is set to 16:9 mode. Added more settings to the settings menu for new in-game features of the update!
2017-10-11	1.03.1054-5	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1054 work)
2017-10-11	1.03.1054-4	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks!
2017-10-11	1.03.1054-3	New track: Alpine Peak, replacing Rosalina's Snow World! New track: Spike Desert, replacing Desert Raceway! New track: Marble Towers, replacing Autumn Forest!
2017-10-11	1.03.1054-2	New track: Shy Guy's Market, replacing Dryland Hills! New track: Thwomp Swamp, replacing SNES Ghost Valley 3! New track: Final Grounds, replacing Unnamed Valley!

2017-06-01	CORE 1.03.0148	Fixed a bug in competition mode that would add 32 minutes to your score. Yes, really.
2017-05-28	SERV 1.00.0014	Removed 2 non-functional mirror servers from the channel. Added 3 new mirror servers for help with updates and verification!
2017-05-24	1.03.1046-5	Supporting update (required to make v1.03.1046 work)
2017-05-24	1.03.1046-4	Adds staff ghosts to the new tracks!
2017-05-24	1.03.1046-3	Supporting update (required to the new tracks work) Fixes a bug that would very rarely cause a player to get an error after track selection online. Added new detection methods to Ignorance is Bliss. Added a new anti-freeze to Ignorance is Bliss. Ignorance is Bliss now cannot be disabled in Worldwide/Regional. It can only be disabled in friend rooms. This is mainly to ensure hackers crash CTGP clients less frequently in public races.
2017-05-24	1.03.1046-2	New track: CTR Cortex Castle, replacing Alpine Skyway! New track: Flowery Greenhouse, replacing Pirahna Plant Slide! Updated GCN Bowser's Castle to its latest version. Updated Neo Koopa City to its latest version.
2017-05-24	1.03.1046-1	New track: Sea Stadium, replacing Water Island! New track: Desert Mushroom Ruins, replacing Punch City 2! New track: Crystal Plains, replacing Iceway! Updated SNES Vanilla Lake 2 to its latest version. Updated Summer Starville to its latest version.
2017-05-24	CHAN 0.04.0062	Update to the CTGP-R Channel. Fixed a bug where Ignorance is Bliss won't activate with CTs off. Fixed a bug where the Room Encryption ON option was incorrectly coloured.
2016-12-08	CORE 1.03.0142	Test fixes for Smart Suspend: You must get this update to continue playing CTWW/Countdown. Attempts to fix a bug that causes general problems with room stability. Removed a feature that wasn't working properly and seemed to cause multiple disconnects. Added a "One-race firewall" feature, where a person disconnected for NATNEG errors cannot rejoin for one race. Clients will also no longer mask the suspend bug, along with the host. This is an experimental update, but hopefully it fixes some issues!
2016-12-06	CORE 1.03.0140	Quick fixes for Smart Suspend: Fixes corrupted "RESV_DENY" packets when preventing players from joining rooms. More likely to be able to resolve situations where the game gets stuck with some players on racetrack, some on voting screen. (Not very fast about it, though...) Better cleanup of variables to reduce problems from stale data. Suspend bug is no longer disguised, and the room will be listed as not joinable if it has it. (There may still be some instances where rooms are listed joinable but are actually not, however. This happens if a recently joining player overwhelms the host). Fixed a bug that sometimes occurred when handling the end of a race while the suspend bug is in effect.
2016-11-16	CORE 1.03.0138	Added "Smart Suspend" feature for Worldwide, CTWW and Countdown! Smart Suspend is a feature that attempts to prevent mass disconnections in public rooms. It can prevent players from joining rooms if the host is too busy, kick players who are causing room instability, and limit the time spent on 'Please wait' screens. If you get disconnected a lot while running this update, it may be the case that your Internet is causing problems for other racers! It can work on Worldwide VS, but only if a CTGP player is the host. It does NOT prevent Error Code 86420, 91010, any disconnection caused by Internet error, or disconnections caused by "toxic" players. It also has no effect in a friend room, as friend rooms do not need this feature. This is the first widespread test of this patch, and if there are any problems, it will be reverted!
2016-11-16	CHAN 0.04.0060	Channel update for Smart Suspend functionality.
2016-08-18	CHAN 0.04.0058	Add/Remove Channel should work again, at least some of the time. Add/Remove Channel should no longer always need a Homebrew Channel to work!
2016-08-04	MYSTUFF 1.03.0010	Restores Common and all vehicles and drivers as changeable files for the My Stuff folder.
2016-08-04	CORE 1.03.0136	New Common scanning methods implemented to prevent the changing of some additional important subfiles. Crisis from earlier hopefully averted?
2016-08-04	CHAN 0.04.0056	Channel now won't wait forever on "Getting information from server", and will eventually timeout. Alterations to the Ghost Database connection procedure. IMPORTANT: You must install this update to continue using the Ghost Database.
2016-08-04	MYSTUFF 1.03.0008	Temporarily disables alterations to Common.szs, and all driver and vehicle edits, since they can alter the physics engine in new and exciting ways!

2016-04-16	MYSTUFF 1.03.0004	Temporarily disables alterations to Common.szs. The file can alter the in-game parameters (such as certain physics elements, items, etc.) and is not currently properly checked by CTGP to ensure that no breaking changes are made. It will return soon once we have time to fix this problem!
2016-03-09	1.03.1038-5	Added "Room Stability" indicator for friend room hosts. In rooms of 3 or more people, it will automatically switch on. It will indicate how likely a room is to work or simply lag out/disconnect most players in race 1 if you start it at the present moment. The stability rating will improve over time and is based on NATNEG success. If it doesn't improve over time, it usually means someone has connection issues. The possible readout values are: Very Bad, Bad, Poor, Average, Good, Very Good and Perfect. Rooms of Good and higher tend to work, where anything below that, ideally you'd wait a bit longer. This update does NOT change anything to do with how friend rooms are formed or begin, it just displays information that was previously hidden away and not possible to be seen. It also can't tell if you if people will randomly disconnect due to Wiimmfi errors or similar, unfortunately.
