You can actually just inject the roms directly into the rpx and fix the rpx sector checksums. I made myself a tool for that a while back.
I did not try this injector, but try using "-old" with makerpl. That helped on my tests.
My last answer still applies:
If you're not using a game with a 4MB base (Donkey Kong Country or possibly a couple others, like mentioned above), you'll get crashes/freezes/unexpected behaviour since the program will end up overwriting other stuff in the ELF, and not just the ROM.
It's still not updated to use smaller bases yet. Yesterday was a holiday in the US.

i messaged normmatt about the alldata.bin file, see if he can work his magic, he said he will take a look (but no promises, so please don't bug him about it
figured with M2 making the sega 3DS VC emulators and the wiiu GBA emulator the formatting/encryption may be similar enough for him to figure it out seeing as he figured out the 3DS sega VC encryption
you should be able to get that info from the WUP header, at 0xE it appears to store the rom size
40=4MB
20=2MB
10=1MB
08=512kb
04=256kb
02=128kb
01=64kb
00=32kb
....that should be good for injecting into any NES/SNES game and detecting the size automatically
oh and as an added bonus, 0x01 will let you detect if its a snes game or a NES game automatically
, 01 for snes, 00 for nes
So I'm taking another look at this finally, and I can't seem to find what you're describing. The WUP header always seems to be surrounded by zeroes with standalone VC titles. I see 00 00 00 00 57 55 50 2D 4A 41 4A 45 00 00 00 00 (....WUP-JAJE....) for Super Metroid, for example.
this is the header size
(taken from super metroid)see 01 for snes, 30 for 3MB
its 3 lines before the rom starts, as i said if you take a look at the amiibo classics or even nes remix you can see the roms with the wup headers attached,

well even in the standalone VC its the same size, that was taken from my super metroid VC, its always those 3 lines then the rom starts directly afterwards
I'm almost done with the update, thanks to @gamesquest1's info. Once I test and make sure it's good to go, I'll release 0.3, which should work with any base size SNES game, and also support NES injects (with an NES base; it'd be cool if we could figure out how to switch the system emulated on the fly (maybe it's literally as simple as setting the 01 for SNES to 00 for NES? I'll test it later)).
Edit: First test, using a smaller ROM for SNES works. Second test, using a larger ROM than the base rom, rejected as expected. Third test, using a ROM the same size as the base, working fine (must..resist..urge..to play..FF6). Now I just need to test NES games...

think i tried by just replacing the whole rom including the header and it didn't work.....but feel free to try again it might have been one of those things i intended to try but never got around to
0.3 is out. It supports NES ROMs and the base ROM size shouldn't matter anymore. I only have a few VC games to test with, so it's probably not perfect.
Wouldn't I then have to add a bunch of code similar to rpl2elf? I'd prefer to keep this program as simple as possible.

lol, So it does not have a file like "configuration_cafe.json" can change the resolution. So sad but thank you for your help -0-
MAKERPL for CAFE
Version Name: Thompson
Version MinSDK: 1.7
using makerpl64 -f -zx -s -v
I get
***Error: Relocation in sec 8, entry 13481 uses non-present symbol!
if I try -z8
I get
***Option -z does not take an argument. Return -1.
any ideas?

@daxtsu, or maybe @gamesquest1
At which hex address are you looking for these values in the ROM?
Contra is 128KB but I don't see 0C in the ROM header?
Super Mario Bros is 40KB but I don't even see that in the list lol, so I'm curious what value that should have.
At which hex address are you looking for these values in the ROM?
Code:
case 0x40: return 4 * 1024 * 1024; // 4MB
case 0x30: return 3 * 1024 * 1024; // 3MB
case 0x20: return 2 * 1024 * 1024; // 2MB
case 0x10: return 1 * 1024 * 1024; // 1MB
case 0x0C: return 128 * 1024; // 128KB? Contra uses this weird value, but then, Contra doesn't seem to work as a base game anyway.
case 0x08: return 512 * 1024; // 512KB
case 0x06: return 384 * 1024; // 384KB
case 0x04: return 256 * 1024; // 256KB
case 0x02: return 128 * 1024; // 128KB
case 0x01: return 64 * 1024; // 64KB
case 0x00: return 32 * 1024; // 32KB
default: return 0xDEADC0DE; // Give an absurd size if we get anything invalidContra is 128KB but I don't see 0C in the ROM header?

Nintendo needs to release a new console, switch is getting such shitty little games lately lol it's pathetic -

@
The Real Jdbye:
well actually
a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released -
