I'll probably upload them with my other custom track packs soon. These tracks where not designed for the base game AI, but it could be interesting nonetheless.

The easiest way is to get the F-Zero Execution Project (FZEP). It's a simple program that runs on Windows that let's you custom your own tracks and put them in the game. You can find tutorials on how to use it on TH-cam or on the internet. Another way would be to get a Nintendo 64 Disk Drive emulator and play the F-Zero X Expansion Kit which has a custom track mode. I prefer this editor over the FZEP, but it can be a headache to get to work.

Thank you very much for the help!

Good to know. I knew there was a problem with Joker 5 & 6 as the game often fails to load the background details, but I still could run them on emulator. I'll see what I can do about this in the next weeks.

@@DavidZSM Great, I can't wait to face the Joker Cup!

Yes

We need a F-Zero X 99

Playing through the stage rn, I think You’ll go higher if you have a bit of momentum going before the jumpers activate. Not 100% sure though

@@lukirby5173 about a month ago, I finally got the red goal and I found out something strange… every third push of the jumpers sends you the highest. Idk why this happens but it does.

⁠That’s so weird. Luckily it’s not that hard to get to the red goal imo, but it’s strange that the jumpers work like that.

@@lukirby5173 Bro I wish I had the type of skill you have at super monkey ball. After getting the red goal and recording it, I will NEVER PLAY THAT LEVEL FOR AS LONG AS I SHALL LIVE!!!

@@jameshurricane3169Lmao, can’t blame you. Trust me though, I’m definitely not skilled at this game yet. Recently got back into it a couple days ago and I’ve been having a ton of fun. SMB1 expert and marathon challenge mode absolutely kicked my ass though.

Yeah, I never really had the motivation to optimise a 25 year old game. A machine with a good body and boost is good enough for me to beat master mode.

@@DavidZSM actually true no need to be hardcore and just enjoy the game

I can't say for sure since I've never tried them on real hardware. From what I’ve read, the Everdrive can automatically patch any IPS or APS files. The linked file is a BPS file though, so I don’t know if it can work simply by putting it in the SD card. It might be easier to patch the F-Zero X ROM with the linked file yourself, then put the modified ROM on the SD Card.

maybe something to do with the hidden checkpoint system?

​@@Teuntjuhh yeah, the checkpoints know which part you are in and makes any track that isnt where you're supposed to be non-interactable. If a section of a track happens later in the lap you cant interact with it until you get every checkpoint before it, even if you can see it.

Thank you, happy holidays!

Yeah, I just saw TH-cam has recently blocked non ''verified'' creators from putting external links. I found a quick fix for now but I'll look into it.

I'm running the game on RetroArch which uses Muplen64Plus.

Probably a problem with the english patch. The Expansion kit is in japanese only, which would make track creation way harder without the patch.

@@DavidZSM that's true.

@@DavidZSM I used to have this problem running the english patch on Project64. I fixed it by unchecking "Emulate frame buffer" in the graphics plugin settings for GLide64.

Yes

@@DavidZSM Ah, okay. Pretty cool.

I remade the tracks point by point with the exact same coordinates. It can be pretty long to do but it's the only way I know of. I personally use a recording software to record a clip where I go over every CTL point so I can pause the video and type the coordinates in FZEP. It's quicker and more reliable than writing every coordinates of every point manually.

are u one of them?

​@@ricardofelix7260bro what did he do to you 😂

Thanks, happy to see people sharing my love of custom F-Zero X content. As for the way these specific tracks look, they all have the night theme. Gives a distinct feeling to the track and background objects that are meant for a day themed track emits a crazy multicolored glow. You can't go wrong with the night sky palette lmao Also, I made the crescent moon track flat and upside down to give the illusion that you’re in outer space and not above water. The way the glowing planets in the background appear high up in the sky while you’re upside down is definitely neat.

@@DavidZSM yessss exactly. i hope you keep making more tracks -- and more w/ that wonderful night sky palette and weird rainbow buildings :-) so much fun to watch. thanks for all your work.

Thanks for that Honestly, the track editor is the kind of stuff you need to experience with to get better at. You can find tutorials on TH-cam to at least understand the base stuff. You can make tracks with the F-Zero Execution Project or the F-Zero X: Expansion Kit game. You can quickly find files for the FZEP on the internet and it’s easier to set up, but the Expansion Kit editor is probably more user-friendly.

Haha yeah you can break a couple of tracks with these slides.

The easiest way is to play it on a N64DD emulator, but it can be a pain to set up. It's easier to make custom tracks with the F-Zero Execution Project, which is a similar track maker, to play them on a normal F-Zero X rom.
