Yea well if that's the case, then Sprite 0 was probably not a physical object but an effect or something similar. But then it could be to hinder the hacker's progress. Nintendo did put in a little effort with the RSA signature on the multiplayer files.
If they did encrypt the whole ROM though, would the DS be able to decrpyt and read the files? I don't think it would be powerful enough for a strong encryption. |

Actually the purpose of the RSA signature wasn't to hinder ROM hacking of multiplayer levels. It was primarily meant to prevent hackers from downloading unsigned code on a DS. All the security measures Nintendo comes up with are intended for the same purpose, blocking homebrew. And piracy, too.
Also, the DS ROMs were originally encrypted, with some encryption method similar to Blowfish. But since the ARM7 BIOS (which contains the keys for decrypting) has been dumped, the encryption has been cracked and pretty much all the ROM dumps you'll find are decrypted. Though, if they really wanted, Nintendo could probably encrypt or obfuscate the level data, with algorithms similar to what big companies use when they make paid computer programs. They'd show loading screens while the level data is being deciphered, too. But then loading screens are an annoyance for players. And, as always in the professional world, money has to be taken into account. Coding extra encryption/obfuscation costs more money. Fixing software exploits costs money too. Nintendo will only take such actions if their profit is at risk (ie software exploit allowing to run pirated games). ROM hacking doesn't directly threaten Nintendo's profits afaict so uh... _________________________ Kuribo64 - zrghij |

Excuse me, how can I change my rom icon/title that will be shown in R4 menu?
For example, luckwii's Super Metroid Bros. has a different icon. Instead of Mario's head, it's a metroid image. Thank you so much! _________________________

You can try MKDS Course Modifier, and then the Banner Editor under tools, or you can do it with Graphics Hacking

Does someone already edit it and have a recommended tool?
PS: I'm searching right now. PSS: Don't know why, but my rom header got corrupt since I've edited it the first time. BTW it's still playable!  PSSS: If this is implemented into future revision, it'd be great!

Posted by MarioSunshine Does someone already edit it and have a recommended tool? http://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/utilities/download-ndsheader-20-f572.html If the program will not import the image try exporting an un-corrupted image (from and un-edited rom) then editing it and importing back into the program. Also why do sprite 44 (Unused) and 42 (Chain Chomp) with 00 00 00 00 00 02, crash the level? (with a black screen) Is there a way to make a mega goomba boss allready grown to full size when you enter the area (without activating it) |

Posted by Hiccup Also why do sprite 44 (Unused) and 42 (Chain Chomp) with 00 00 00 00 00 02, crash the level? (with a black screen) Disassemble the game and you'll find out  My guess is, the parameter value is used as an index into an array, and 2 is out of bounds. That, or the crash is triggered on purpose. _________________________ Kuribo64 - zrghij |

Are 3d-editing program, like 3ds max or Maya, support NSBMD files? I feel like to edit them ( Especially the world map )
 Thanks! _________________________

Yes... Somehow. You can export the NSBMD and convert the file with nsbmd viewer to object. Now you can import it with 3ds max 6 or Maya 7 if you have installed the NITRO plugins. With this you can export a .imd file which is convertable with g3dcvtr to nsbmd.

Photoshop is still hard for me, then this's much harder. When will I get it? Anyway thanks for your info.! I'll try my best...

I use r116 when editing MvsL roms and it worked great but now r116 crashes roms when they load. ( Could be that I updated my R4 not sure )
What other revisions allow ds download play to work when editing MvsL levels ? Thanks. |

DS Download Play? That never worked to begin with. Only multiplayer with two ROMS will work. The latest r327 will work with mutliplayer levels.

DS download did work with r116.It used to work on my flashcard. r327 doesnt allow ds download play to work was wondering if any other revisions work? R116 isnt working at the moment ( maybe because i updated my flashcard ).

Excuse me please, I would like to know somemore information 'bout Zoom sprite.
Zoom left/right, when does the game mention the sprite and toggle it? And also, Posted by ray How zoom works: values from 0-F are Zoom in. 10 is reset to default. 10-1E is zoom out. When I use -1 for "zoom" space it shows sprite data as FF, which isn't mention above. _________________________
