Hacking About Super Mario Advance 4's release

[CheatFreak47]

Could anyone try dumping the game's (as in the Virtual Console container files, not RAM) actual contents and see if the ROM is in there?

That would be ideal if it could be decrypted, but I don't know how to do that, apparently @ajd4096 might know something about that though

I'm gonna crash for the night though, will look into it more tomorrow

No luck getting it to run in an emulator when I apply the IPS patch to the USA rom.

So Super Mario Advance 4 finally released on the eShop, and it includes every single e-Reader level, even the Japan only ones, and even the "Mad Dash" lost level!

Now, what I'm here to ask, is can someone investigate the e-World level data? Are the levels stored in a save file like the other saves for SMA4 ROMs floating around? Are the levels embedded in the ROM itself, instead, in this release? And either way, would it be possible to dump the ROM or save data from the Wii U and distribute them here (save) or somewhere else (if it's in the ROM itself) That would be amazing, as the only versions of Mad Dash we have available are recreations.

Thank you!

Looks like there's a new game I'm getting. I'd love to dump this data.

In addition, I'll see if anything e-Reader is still active in the game. I have a GBA flashcard (Hiding somewhere) and an authentic e-Reader that I can inject save data onto.

All the menus and such are still active, so I'd assume so, unless they manually disabled them but kept the menus in for no reason.

Could we get the SHA1 of the rom you used for creating the patch with?

[caitsith2]

The idea, is I want to know what SHA1 so that we can verify we are using the proper rom file for patching.

This is actually another thing xdelta would have solved nicely for us, because xdelta won't let you apply the patch to the wrong file.

 

[loco365]

I'll see if I can dump it as well. I have the game and I do have cafiine support as well.

Um, the ips contains no instructions what file to patch.

It means that people are having issues with your patch so they want to verify it.

patch the gba

patch the gba

post the SHA of the rom so we will know which one to use! There are multiple files

 

[justinbug2]

this is what i got 172044524061

 

[loco365]

So I'm attempting to dump the ROM, however, Cafiine keeps crashing when I go to dump any data from the Wii U, and I can't seem to get it to dump for whatever reason.

I'll get it eventually!

Nice! Hopefully you can get it! Thank you!
