Amps are a bit too common in World 6, though, so I'd rather not use them anywhere else. Plus, their sfx only loads with bottom castle backgrounds. Flame chomps maybe, though.

Decompress the overlays, use hex editor's search function to find the left side and replace with what's on the right.

Very nice, I added the overlays to the OP.


I wonder whether you'd be sent to the appropriate world if you set the powerup byte to megashroom and touched the key with the mega, or if it only cares which powerup you end the level with.

You're patching the incorrect version of the rom.

Interesting, albeit the use of this is pretty limited, as you'd have to find an area that uses the tileset/bg combination you want.

Buut, I guess there is a couple areas that you can use without worrying about that; the Mario vs Luigi levels and the unused World 6 cannon. Unless those don't count as "Area 1"

Zone -> If mario in zone -> trigger event 1

AND controller trigger on event 1 -> delay x -> activate event 2

Lava triggers on event 2.

That's a very nice list there, but there's one thing...

Mega Goomba... I don't think it can actually be hurt by Mini Pounds. I think you just bounce off... So, where did the "30 damage" come from?

So it just doesn't do any animations? Weird...

I know it would be, but that's what it seemed like

An easy quick way to do simple things is to go into Desmume's RAM Search, look what values change when you do whatever you're trying to change then go into No$GBA and put a breakpoint on when that value is changed.

The last tab has progress paths. You make a progress path in each view, set the IDs accordingly (higher ID = later section) then set the views to use those IDs.

Make sure the IDs don't match in between areas, so, if you have a Path ID 1 in Area 1 and the next section happens in Area 2, that view should use Path ID 2.

Do not set progress paths in bonus or optional areas.

The "length" of the progress bar is determined by total length of all progress paths.

Le progress update!

As far as levels goes, uh... well, I fixed some bugs.
The main progress, however, is that the overworld music has all been converted, the one single biggest "Oh crap, can I do this?" thing.

With that done, rest should be smooth sailing, right? Heh, heh (no.)

Uh, not all of the worlds will be representation of Newer Wii's, even if they use their theme. W3 isn't supposed to be Yoshi's Island; it's just a generic water world, because there's not much I could replace it with.



But... all of these are from Newer.

I can answer the second question: You could, but you'd need to compress all the world map swavs into below 106KB. Not sure if very feasible, and it'd lower the quality.

Appears to be 54.

EDIT: You can see the difference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APEPkXSx49w

...so? Newer's logo was red.

Maybe.
But not yet.

Don't use the top part of the map16 field; the tiles are often randomised there. No idea about issue 1 though

Zoom-friendly tilesets? Huh?

Interesting. I guess they wanted to include a bahp action for them and didn't. Or it's bugged.

EDIT: Patch 14 to fix; http://nsmbhd.net/thread/2569-misc-patches-thread/
