Short Description: None Provided

Very very basic stuff, more of a proof of concept rather than anything else. None of this is in any state to be released at present, and it's unlikely that we ever will in the interest of preventing cheaters

This is footage from an earlier live stream, showing on-the-fly RAM edits of Mario Kart 8. The quality is a tad sub-par because of it, but we hope it's manageable. The mods shown here include:

- Making Moo Moo Meadows play its final lap music immediately
- Making the final lap play no music at all
- Making the lap 1/2 song into the opening camera fanfare
- Renaming Moo Moo Meadows to "Hello!"
- Renaming it again to "Shitty luck course!"
- Renaming Toad's Turnpike to Deathpike...
- Corrupting a font
- Crashing the Wii U
- Altering the Wii U menu fonts

This work is based on the recently released browser exploit, and some additional code that Chadderz wrote to get arbitrary kernel reading and writing, to allow the browser to edit Mario Kart 8's memory on-the-fly.

All of this may not look impressive, but it's merely because we don't even know where to start; we can do anything now, anything at all! Custom tracks, custom songs, you name it. We just have to decipher the RAM and work out how.

I hope you enjoy this quick look into what we've been up to recently, and hopefully more to come soon!
