MKW Coder & Developer Hall of Fame

This is a thread to give credits to the most influential code creators and developers that MKW has ever seen. This is a personal list and will have plenty of bias, lol.



[Image: it.png] Mdmwii:

Mdmwii was the original GOAT. The Bill Russell of his time. He created many high quality ASM codes back during a time when information and material about PPC ASM was very limited. Most of his codes were created in the year 2009. If you were in the community in 2010 or earlier, you know who Mdmwii is.

Most famous code: Live Replay (GCN)

Other notable codes: MarioBOT, MAC Address Spoofer, Change Character In Between Race, Speed-O-Meter (TT and online), Stalking, Future Fly, FreeFly, Ultimate License Unlocker, Original Drop Item Hack



[Image: fr.png] XeR:

Xer is a very skilled code creator who didn't make many codes but every code he did create was very impacting to MKW. Some will say he's the 'best coder' of all time. Creating codes that far exceeded expectations and creating codes that were thought to be impossible. XeR was the very first person ever to access the China region ID.

Most famous code: Invisible Code

Other notable codes: GOD Code, Force Room CC, Kill-O-Meter, God's controller (GCN), Clear Profile ID, Extend VR Limit



[Image: de.png] Wiimm:

Wiimm is the founder/creator of Wiimmfi, the most popular post-WFC custom Wii/DS server. He also made the WIT & SZS Tools, which are advanced Wii game editing tools that are far superior than the ancient programs WiiScrubber, Wii Backup Manager, etc.

Without the Wiimmfi service, the online MKW scene would have died along with Nintendo WFC

Most famous for: Wiimmfi (creator)

Some codes/programs he has created: MKW-Ana, WIT Tools, SZS Tools, GCT Main.dol patching via SZS Tools, License Unlock (Execute ASM type), Clear Profile ID (for non-Wiimmfi profiles only)



[Image: gb.png] Chadderz:

The mastermind who created CTGP. Many codes/CTGP-features you thought were made by Mr.Bean were actually made by Chadderz (they are brothers). There's way too much to say about CTGP. Simply run a google search on it and/or visit their website. The work is unbelievable.

Most famous for: CTGP

Some codes he has created: WiFi Time Limit Expansion, 5 Minutes is 99:59.999 (always lose), High Data Rate (co-creator), Ultra Uncut (co-creator)



[Image: gb.png] MrBean:

Chadder'z older brother. Arguably the most known overall MKWii player of all time, not just coder/dev. He was the one that put the overall hacking scene on the map. During the late 2010's he would gradually take more and more control over the development & progression of CTGP. Some will argue that he is the greatest coder/dev in MKW History.

Most famous code: 24 Player Mode

Other notable codes: Multi-ghost Replay, Enhanced Ghost Replay, Item Rain, All Items Can Land, High Data Rate (co-creator), Ultra Uncut (co-creator), Performance Bar, Original Draggable Blue Shells



[Image: us.png] Star:

Star would get a USB Gecko in Feb 2018 and begin created various codes based on Guru's original shared item code. Just a short time after learning ASM, he would release his Shared Item Detection code, which got the community's attention. After that, Star would make much more complex ASM Codes. In fact, some of the most complex ASM codes ever created for MKWii. Star also created arguably the greatest code in MKWii History - Remote Code Execution. Before Star came along, it appeared that ASM Coding was done for good. He helped revive it.

Most famous code: Remote Code Execution

Other notable codes: A Step Above God, Target Freeze, Graphical Speedometer, Screenshot, Perfect Replace Item w/ Shared Item, Draw Text To Screen (co-creator), Custom Exception Handler (co-creator), Join any Friend's Regional, Shared Item Cheat Detection, Host Always Wins Track Vote, Room Message Spoofer, Lag Switch, Mii Name Extender



[Image: ch.png] Stebler:

Stebler would join the MKWii community completely out of nowhere via joining the MKWii.com forums in Oct 2020. He would make the one of the most influential codes of all time, the Pretty Speedometer code. Nowadays, this code (or some altercation thereof) is present in damn near every Time Trial Video. He would also make one of the most influential MKW Mods of all time: MKW-SP. Throw in some other great codes such as Items on MiniMap and you have a legend. Oh don't forget all the "would-be-codes" that were implemented within MKW-SP.

Most famous code: Pretty Speedometer




[Image: de.png] Bully:

Bully has made a huge amount of codes for MKW. There are so many codes made by him, that the list of notable codes below could easily be tripled. He has his own forum (bullywiihacks) where he has released nearly all his codes which includes multiple games, not just MKW. Very skilled ASM coder.

Most famous code: Allow Offending Names Online

Other notable codes: Show Item Early, Instant DC, Item Warning (online & offline), Item Spy (multiple versions of online and offline), Graphical (in game) Item Spy, Live Replay (wii remote), Crazy Coin Runners, Friend Roster Wins Modifier, Always get LWs (wheel/chuck), Perfect Start Every Time (chuck), TT Resetter, C2/ASM type Always Have Item, God's Controller (wheel/chuck)



[Image: de.png] Leseratte:

Leseratte is the co-founder and current co-admin of Wiimmfi. The Wiimmfi Competition service was also created by him. A lot of good info from the wiki.tockdom.com MKWii wiki-type website has been provided from Leseratte. He is very underrated for the work he has contributed, and is not as known as Bean, Chadderz, Xer, etc.

[Image: us.png] JoshuaMK:

[Image: us.png] Vega:

Vega has created over 100 MKWii codes. He opened the mkwii.org (now MarioKartWii.com) forums in Feb 2018. It is the first ever site to contain an organized database/list of all public MKW Cheat codes. After Vega learned PowerPC ASM (with much help from Star), he would make many guides on the forums to teach others PowerPC ASM. Since before those guides were around, there was basically no info at all to learn PowerPC ASM to make Wii Cheat Codes. Vega also created the first ever MKW Unlocker HBC app (V-Unlock), and the first ever PPC Assembler written in PPC (Waltress).

Most famous for: MarioKartWii.com

[Image: be.png] WhatIsLoaf:

WhatIsLoaf (aka Loaf) created the Custom Top Ten Leaderboard code. Before its creation in 2020, it was one of the most demanded-for codes. Everybody wanted it but nobody created it, til ofc Loaf did. The code allows you to set any custom info, mii, data, title, etc for the Top Ten chart(s) you view within the game. Needless to say after this was created, it is in damn near every TT Video.

Most famous code: Custom Top Ten Leaderboard

Loaf would also create the Advanced Life Replay Code. Basically the first every Live Replay Code that allows Ghosts, and doesn't have any weird gimmicks/quirks. He would create the tt-rec.com website. A site full of on-the-fly customizable codes + downloads, along with tutorials, to help any beginner TT Recorder. Other codes are MSG Editor, 6 Minute Timer Limit Removal, and Save Max Input Ghost.



[Image: gb.png] Seeky:

Seeky was the first to find the DWC-Library Exploit. It is a Remote Code Execution exploit that can be used on any Wii Game that has online functionality. For safety reasons, it has never been released (as of 2024), and may never will. Seeky has created some very useful codes such as various anti-RCE codes, Auto-Dodge POW, 64 Second Timer, and Anti-Non Host Can Start Room Code.

Most famous for: MKW Class and Structure GitHub Repo - https://github.com/SeekyCt

[Image: es.png] Atlas:

A developer who has made a ton of quality mkwii-related computer programs. He has also made a couple of cheat codes. He was the first to make a program that converted brfnt files to tpl images, which made creating custom fonts on ISOs much simpler. He also made programs (Patch-that-BRSAR and Final Lap Stream Maker) which made custom music editing on ISOs much easier. Basically, the main reason why ISO editing is easy today is greatly due to Atlas.

Most famous for: RKG Viewer Program

In 2019, he would create some amazing codes such as the first Draw Text to Screen (co creator), Tint Screen Red when Hit, Custom Exception Handler (co creator). The following year (2020), he would create some more great codes which are Draw Image to Screen (co-creator), and Join Friend on Game Launch (co creator).
