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
- A kartconfig.cfg is included that sets the resolution to 800x450 by default. It doesn't really do anything else so you can leave it out if you'd like.
- Without a config file, the game's default resolution is 320x200. It is recommended setting it to 800x450 for the best balance of performance and visuals.
- The game takes a bit to boot. A faster SD card may help with this.
- 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.)

Changelog
v1.6 r3 - Craftyawesome
- This adds an auto resolution option which switches between 1080p and 720p if the switch is docked. (Only affects OpenGL)

- Known issue: Mipmaps do not work due to missing GLU.
- Do not copy a 1.3 config file, or you will likely need to reset your controller config.
