The old version does work very well for Mario Kart, though. Use 4.0-309, to get the game to boot, then make a save state in the menu. Then start again with I think it was 4.0-315 (or 314) because that version has working input (but cannot get into the game menu, so you need to load the state then). A bit of a hassle but works fine then
