I'm new to the community. I have over 20+ years doing all kinds of software arch/dev. Mainly backend server stuff (i.e. java, .net, COM, C++), but no embedded or game development.
My son is now very interested in creating his own maps/courses for Mario Kart DS [and possibly the Wii].
First off - is it possible to create your own maps/course for Mario Kart DS? If so, how do we start? What are the tools and platform for this stuff (i.e. Ubuntu or Windows), and do they include an emulator for trying out the mods before downloading to the DS?
On the Wii side of things - I guess I have the same questions. If this isn't a good place to post this question, if you can direct me to the best Wii dev forums, that'd be great.
Thanks,
rad
