New Mario Circuit WR!!!!!
07/01/04 at 03:51:14
 
holy crap guys, I just got a great PR on Mario Circuit and I think it might also be a WR

1'29"245 !!!!!!!!!    Grin

0-1-1        30'584 29'332 29'329  Grin

I'm pretty proud of the consistency in those splits.

This took me a very long time to get this low and I focused exclusively on this map on and off for about a month and then for the past week I have been playing it at just about every chance I can get.

I decided on this course to focus on because I figured Mario Kart, Mario Circuit, This IS the main course. This is the Kentucky Derby racetrack of the Mario Kart world.

The reason I have not submitted times to this site as I haven't had the game that long, only about a month and a half, I only learned about your site about week ago when I started playing a real lot, and my times for all the other courses are pretty bad.

But I have played this course non-stop for about a week and this is the culmination.

I know no one is going to believe this at first but I hope to get a video as soon as possible. However, I have no idea how to even begin to make a video or put it online so if someone could explain to me how to do it exactly then I'll try to get one asap.

Also, I am going to try to make the rest of my times on the courses fairly decent (top 100) and I am going to keep ruthlessly playing Mario Circuit untill I get a sub-1'29"000. So I should be submitted to the site within the next week (by July 8th)

How long I get a video online depends how easy it is and if I can figure it out if anyone wants to explain it.

Peace.     Grin Grin 1'29"245  Grin Grin

Surely if you DO have a WR on MC then you should be able to get top 50 on every course just like that? Sure you've been focusing on MC for the most part but still, your ability is obviously of the highest quality Cheesy Would like to see this time proven obviously as would everyone else Wink

Well the first step in getting a video online is hooking your GameCube up to a VCR. If you even have a basic understanding of how modern electronics work you'll have no problem following these directions:

1. Acquire a VCR with RCA (white, yellow, red) inputs, a GameCube and a TV.

2. Plug the GameCube RCA outputs into the VCR RCA inputs.

3. Plug the VCR output (either RCA or Coaxial depending on what wires you have available and what your TV and VCR support... most modern TVs and VCRs have both sets) into the TV input.

You should now be capable of taping your runs onto a VHS tape. When you begin to play you have to start free-taping your runs because Double Dash does not have an acceptable replay mechanism that can be used to tape and verify runs. So before you start a race press record on your VCR and attempt a run (repeat this until you capture a good run or your PR). Once you have an acceptable time on your tape you now have two options:

Option 1: send your VHS tape via snail-mail to one of our proof moderators. We'll give you more info on how to send it if you choose this option.

Option 2: acquire a TV capture card and hook it up to your PC. TV capture cards allow modern electronic devices with RCA/Coax video outputs (such as TVs, VCRs, camcorders and even video game consoles) to plug into them and display/capture the video stream onto your computer. Your next step would then be to plug your VCR into your capture card and capture your run onto your computer and encode it to a reasonable size (under 10 megs). We'll give you more info on the rest of the details if you choose this option.

Welcome to the site and I hope you are telling the truth because your stay won't be as pleasant if you're not. As you might already know we enforce a rigorous proof regiment and if you claim to be a good karter you have to back it up with video proof or you will be removed from the rankings which has already happened to some people that thought they could put one over on us. 8)

It goes (from hardest to easiest): NTSC -> Gallo NTSC -> Australian PAL -> English/Irish PAL -> Dutch PAL. Everyone knows that.

Completing Mark explanation, in option 2 you also can make a vid with your taped run using any web cam or digital camera, if you need any more info about it, just ask it.

Another option is to directly capture the video to your computer. This method is possible with a tv-card or a simple video capture card, too.
But of course you'll need a few gb of free space on your harddisk if you need more than one try to race a PR Smiley

What is it with people who only play 1 track? That's annoying! Smiley
(erm.. yeah.. nice time. The splits are definitely possible. I doubt Grard has spent too much time on the 3lap though).

I think Luigi Circuit is the Kentucky Derby of MKDD Smiley

I hate to bring this up because seeing coincidences in the names of people has led me astray before (e.g. John Five) however I can't help but notice the sexual innuendo the our new world record holder's name.... DragonTeethAsia... "Draggin' Teeth" and there is a famous female porn star who goes by the name Asia.  Now, am I just being a perv or is there really something to that?  DragonTeeth could you explain your choice of name for us?

Your mind is twisted. I have no idea how you're making the connection ???
Dragons are Asian, and Asia is Asian. It would make more sense that he/she/it likes eating rice with his teeth, and can cook it himself with his fire breath.

Hey guys sorry I haven't responded at all but I'm about to go get some blank vhs tapes (I didn't want to tape over any of the poker or porn) and then I'm going to start making the vid.

Also notable is I have start to like Peach Beach and i have gotten in the 1'10"xxx range so hopefully I can get sub 1'10 soon.

Okay I'm off for food and blank tapes.

PEace.

Oh ya and I'm not asian, I just used a the first name that came to my head. Ill give you my real name and location when I submit my times Smiley I live in the USA....

How do you plan to get your time on tape if you didn't already tape it when you got it? You can't replay the ghost (assuming you have one), and you obviously didn't tape it on VHS in the first place since you're buying some tapes now.. I'm confused.

Or did you mean something else..

He said in his first post Alex that he hadn't taped the run because he didn't know how... so now that he knows how I'm assuming he'll try to get another run close to his WR run and tape IT.

He also said poker ... so I think he was just looking up random p-words in the dictionary. C/mon, NOBODY has poker on a tape, that's obviously a lie Smiley
