-right click the TeknoParrot exe and go to properties > compatibility. enable running as administrator
-launch TeknoParrot, and scroll down the list until you find Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. add it.
-go into game settings for mario kart, and point the game executable to "MK_AGP3_FINAL.exe"
-i also recommend FreezeCountdownTimer and AutoAcclOff
-if you are trying to set up lan/online play, configure the ip addresses. download server here: https://mega.nz/file/tEdG1bqb#eypReJ40355cJvOicFq8iHGGdoGEn-MiW_x7en2p9MI

-save settings and next go into controller setup
-the main buttons you need to setup are Wheel Axis, Gas, Brake, Item, and Mario Button
-Gas and Brake require analog triggers for some reason. I recommend mapping Gas to your right shoulder button, and Brake to your left.
-for Wheel Axis, just push the analog stick right so it says "Gamepad X +"
-launch game
