# Practice codes & ROM

--------

## Practice codes (GameShark codes)

[Here](https://pastebin.com/wkidXU4Y) is a list of all the useful codes recommended for practice. You can use them on emulator, EverDrive and GameShark.

⚠️ Please note that these cheat codes are quite **unstable** on every platform and can cause crashes/glitches if they are all enable at the same time in most cases.

Here is how to install practice codes on emulator: In this case, i will use **Rosalie's Mupen GUI v0.5.x+**. Launch the game and go to System -> Cheats... -> Add and then put the codes of your choice.

Make sure your ROM and all your codes are from the **same game region and version**.

Don't forget to check the controller binds on the practice codes list, they are at the bottom of each codes.

If you want to use them on console, I recommend the **Restart Race** and the **Race Warp** codes. These two codes are short enough to be on an EverDrive or a GameShark, they are the most stables and useful ones. Here is an example of what it should look like on a EverDrive:

Then in game, press C-Down to restart the race. Hold D-pad Up/Right/Down/Left then press C-Down to warp to the track of your choice like the gif bellow:

## OverKart 64 v4

The modding community made a romhack called **OverKart 64**. This romhack includes a practice mode.

⚠️ Please note that OverKart 64 is build on the **NTSC** (US) and the **PAL** (EU) version of the game. It will not be possible to practice specific skips on this romhack. (Check out [abney's 150cc Skips Guide](https://beckabney.com/mk64/basicskips.html) to see japanese exclusive skips). The practice mode is **only available on the version 4.**

The romhack is available to download [here](https://youtu.be/nHiT6mvVBRc).

The practice mode includes savestates ! I highly recommend using this romhack to practice your driving skills on non-shortcut tracks and skips that are possible on the US version of the game. For example: KD red shells & star skip, WS jumps, YV shrooms etc...

Here is the list of the controller binds, make sure to enable the practice rom on the menu:

- D-pad left: Save
- D-pad right: Load
- D-pad up: Restart Race
- C-Left (hold): Fly

You can also practice the track of your choice by making your own cup. You can select individual tracks in the order of your choice so if you wanna practice Kalimari Desert only for example, you can put it on top of the list of any cups.

## Conclusion

Both practice codes and ROM are great. I recommend having them setup/installed so you can practice whatever you need/want easily. You can pretty much practice everything, you will just have to figure out which method is adequate depending of what you want to do.

Special thanks to bitalive for the practice code list and to the OverKart staff for their work.
