Visualization of the staff ghost for Sunshine Airport.

Poltergust is a Python 3 application for visualizing and extracting data from ghost data files. This includes player ghosts, staff ghosts, and downloaded ghosts, but not MKTV Replays. Currently, there is only active support for Mario Kart 8 for Wii U.

Features

  • Previewing information such as player name, vehicle combination, or lap splits.
  • Extracting Mii Data.
  • Converting player/downloaded ghosts to staff ghosts.
  • Converting player/staff ghosts to downloaded ghosts.

Installation

First, grab the latest source code. To run, any recent version of Python 3 (Python 3.10 definitely suffices) is needed. Open up a terminal of choice, navigate to the place where the source code was extracted, and install the dependencies using "pip install -r requirements.txt" (possibly inside a Virtual Environment if preferred). The tool can then be run through Python using "python poltergust.py".

An executable that packages everything together will be provided in a later version.
