SRB2Kart is a kart racing mod based on the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2, based on a modified version of Doom Legacy.
SRB2Kart is a project created by the Kart Krew, it features dozens of tracks across racing and battle modes, some fun power-ups and a drifting system. It also has a neat little in-game manual that explains most of its tricks and secrets.
Features
- Full online support.
- Full mouse/keyboard support.
- Full software keyboard support.
Installation
Make sure your Switch can run homebrew.
To install:
- Extract the contents of the zip to the root of your SD card.
- Then start SRB2 via hbmenu (or whatever method you prefer).
- If you are updating from an older version, extract the contents of the update patch to the root of your SD card. Overwrite any files that might conflict.
Note: This game requires full RAM access. This means youcannot launch hbmenu from the Album Applet when running this. With the latest Atmosphere build and its default config, you can hold R while starting any game to open hbmenu with full RAM access.
User guide
Notes
- The game takes a bit to boot. A faster SD card or higher CPU clock may help with this.
- OpenGL is used by default on this port. To switch to software select "Toggle Renderer" in the video options. Alternatively, delete renderer.txt or write software in that file.
- Automatic resolution runs at 720p on handheld and 1080p docked (OpenGL only). For software 800x450 is recommended.
- The game is CPU bottlenecked even on OpenGL. Models are an additional small performance loss.
- The game continues to run while on the Switch's home screen when you are unable to pause to prevent lag-switching.
- If you want to play the game with mouse/keyboard, you'll have to bind most of the buttons yourself.
- All button bindings are set to match the Xbox controller layout (Xbox A -> Switch B, Xbox X -> Switch Y, etc.)
