This is a fairly tricky thing to do, but can be done with a bit of patience. It's easiest if you're using Cakewalk Studio as your midi editor, but I will later explain how to make others work too.

A. With Cakewalk Studio

1. Duplicate the track with the BAHPs to the last track. Make it channel 16, set to the "Gunshot" (i.e last) instrument (it can be other things, but gonna use it for convenience of this tutorial). Mute it.

2. Change each BAHP note, so that it has a duration of '10', velocity of 110 and 'C 0' pitch.

3. Save the midi, convert it with midi2sseq

4. Open the resulting sseq in a hex editor, and replace every instance of "006E0480" with "B002010080" (they should all be at the end).

5. We've made the file slightly larger in Step 4, so it's time to fix that; check the size in bytes (CTRL+A in the hex editor will select everything and should display it somewhere). You should get two bytes in hex; reverse their order (e.g. 34 A7 -> A7 34) and put them at 0x08 in the sseq.

6. If any of the BAHP points are before the loop starting point, you will also need to relocate the loop point itself. Go to the final five bytes of the sseq; you should see something like

XX YY 00 00 FF

Add to "XX YY" the amount of bahps before the loop. (e.g if you have five bahps before the loop, and XX = 94, you should make it 99).
If the "XX YY" values appear multiple times near the end of the sseq, change them all.

7. Import, enjoy.


B. That doesn't work with my editor

Basically, the only problem with that tutorial is the fact that I created a specific note to find and replace; if your midi editor uses different measurements for the note duration, you'll have a bit of a problem. But, here's how to make it work:

1. Follow the above tutorial until point 4. Then, just have to make sure every single note on the last track has the same duration and pitch.

2. Save the resulting sseq somewhere. Now, change the track's instrument and pitch for every single note to something else, and convert with sseq2midi again, saving as different file.

3. Compare the two files using a hex editor. Find a pattern of four bytes that keeps changing in the file. Replace every instance of those four bytes with "B002010080". Continue on with Step 5 of tutorial above.

I see the moderation's response time is staggeringly quick these days.

This is a piece of code that I've worked on for both Newer Super Mario Bros. DS and Super Mario: Endless Earth. It's an (and using this word very loosely here) engine for showing customized sequences of images, intended to serve as the opening cutscene, with provisions made for displaying dialogue, playing music, skipping the cutscene, etc. Think something like the staff credits in the original game.

The audio player portion is a version of Dirabio's WavPlayer code from the now-dead NSMBCR:
https://github.com/Dirbaio/NSMBCR/blob/master/source/wavplayer.cpp

1. Usage

1. Set up the ASM Hacks template using DevkitARM v41.
2. Copy the "IntroSlide.cpp", "nsmb.h" and "IntroSlide.h" files from /source in the downloaded RAR into the template's /source folder.
3. Put a ROM in the template folder and open it in NSMBe.
4. Insert the code into the ROM by pressing "Run make and insert" on the "Tools/Options" tab in NSMBe.

2. Making your own sound clip:
1. Open a sound file in Audacity
2. If the track is stereo, split it to Mono by opening a drop-down list next to individual track's delete button (top-left corner of the track listing).
3. From that same drop-down list, select "Set rate -> other" and put it at 32768.
4. Input the same rate at the bottom in "Project Rate" field.
5. Go to File->Export audio. Save as type "Other uncompressed types". Click "options" and select "RAW (headerless) as the header and "Signed 8bit PCM" as the encoding. Confirm. You're done.
6. Import this file over any trivial file in the game.

3. Making your own slides:
1. Slides are 256x256, but only the top 256x192 is visible. Essentially, the credits enpgs are precisely the format you should be shooting for. Open a credits enpg and import an image over it, save, export.
2. If you want to put some dialogue over your slides, all the slides you want to display without transitions will have to use the exact same palette.

4. Making the sequence:
There's an example sequence with ample comments in IntroSlide.cpp. Follow that and ask questions here if you get stuck. It is also explained there how to use this for the ending credits.

No. The game. Telling me I'm taking too long is not helping in the slightest and demanding I waste time putting together a demo afterwards is just insulting.

Progress update, I guess!
Um, some of the music was updated and I've also finally remodelled World 3.



I'm also en route to finishing the last levels of World 3 (only 2 are left).

Podoboo graphics flip on way down:
Allows you do insert in a real podoboo, complete with the flipping effect:

Game is out!

Code release: https://github.com/Newer-Team/NewerSMBDS

That last part is complete nonsense.





Nice for you to list those.



Anyone with half a brain can notice the Koopas are 2D at any time.

A really simple patch which lets you activate the touchscreen item with a press of the SELECT button. Just like Super Mario World.

...Huh.

Actor Spawning Block:

This is an addition to the wonderful Actor Spawner Sprite by Mariomaster. Essentially, what this will do, is make the Boo Spawning Question Block spawn the enemy with Settings ID = 0, complete with spritedata, sound effect and particle. The X/Y offset fields are also supported: The "X offset" field applies to both when Mario hits the block from underneath and if he groundpounds it. However, the "Y Offset" field applies only when Mario pounds the block upward. If it's groundpounded, the actor will be offset by the "Y Particle Offset" field instead; this allows you to perfectly place the actor.

What this means is; you can spawn any sprite out of the block, be it a Star Coin, Goomba or Spiny.

The sprite you're spawning needs to appear in the level in order to actually load the model/sprite it's using. Easiest way to ensure this is to place one right below Mario's starting point, just slightly out of zone. And, obviously, sprite sets need to have this enemy enabled.

Note that every time you used the block in the game previously will need to have Settings ID = 0 set to this:


...in order to work like it used to.

Short video demonstration:

Patience.

Select your own Jyotyu Palette:

Disable broken Unk Setting Functionality:

First goes into a .cpp file, the second into an .s file. You will also need to add this to nsmb.h:



This hackily lets you choose the Jyotyu palette per view by shamelessly overwriting it directly in VRAM. Simply change the Unk3(B) value in the View settings. 0 = normal, 1 = underground, 2 = lava, 3 = snow/ghost.

EDIT: Minor fix

Spike:

A spikeball must be loaded in the level. Set Nybble 12 to 1 to spawn.
Also makes spikeball's nybble 7 make it die upon tile contact.

You're a dried shroom
