Talk:MK8 Network Protocol

Searching network dumps & videos

As I do not have a WiiU, I'm searching for Mario Kart 8 network dumps. Best is to make a network dump and a video the same time so I can see what happens. If you are able to dump MK8 network data and make a video, please do so, upload the dump and the video and post the download link here. -- Leseratte (talk) 06:50, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Leserratte, I think this will help you for sure. [1] --TheMetaPirate (talk) 08:55, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Leserratte, do you hang out in some IRC server/channel? I hace become interested in reverse engineering the mk8 network protocol and I am able to record network dumps of me playing mk8. Mgrandi (talk) 20:00, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

urls

In addition to the one URL that the wii u contacts when starting mario kart 8 / connecting online, it seems to contact all of these urls (some of them are just redirects to an amazon AWS instance it seems)
