This is a port of Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers for the Nintendo Switch. It is a kart racing video game that builds upon the successes of its predecessor Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (SRB2Kart).
Installation
For fresh install:
- Download the zip from releases.
- Extract to the root of the SD card.
- Start via a game (not album or another applet)
Updating instructions:
- Extract the new zip to the root of the SD card and overwrite any changes.
- Revisions for only the switch likely only need to update the nro in switch/RingRacers (see the release notes)
Notes:
- It takes a while to boot up, longer than SRB2/kart do.
- Increase the CPU clock with something like sys-clk. It helps framerates significantly, which is needed to get modes with multiple racers to a playable framerate.
- Legacy GL is not very stable, especially with multiple racers. Consider using software only.
- Recommended resolution: 708x400 under software, and 800x450 for less complex tracks or one racer. Legacy GL can handle larger at similar framerates.
- Buttons match the Xbox controller layout. (A and B are swapped, X and Y are swapped)
