ROM Hack Official Mario Kart 7 - Custom Track Grand Prix 7 (CTGP-7)

[Gaming796]

1) This has been known for a lot of time already, that track will be replaced.
2) I don't understand

Kay. So here goes. I make my own hacks of MK7. BCSTM Hacks. Fine? Now I place the hacks in SD:\Luma\Titles\<MK7 TItleID>. Now if I try to boot the CTGP-7 hacks, my hacks instead load. So I renamed the folder containing my hacks to something else and then CTGP-7 hacks load. I am asking why does this happen?

Sure, Luma layeredfs overwrites the modifications to redirect files made by CTGP-7 so only one can work at the same time. You have to put your modifications in the CTGP-7/gamefs folder.

Sorry for bothering you again, but I wanna know how did you get rid of the frontrunning / 1st place beats on DS Airship Fortress?

No idea, it should be another file in the bcsae.

I tried. I extracted all CSEQs from the BCSAR and converted them to MIDI. Problem is how do I recognize which MIDI was the frontrunning beats because some MIDIs don't play!
EDIT: Seems even you couldn't remove the beats. CTGP-7 loads the beats for DS Airship Fortress! So that is the only course which is an exception.

I didn't even know it was possible to convert cseq to midi, In my case I had to try one by one until I found the proper one.

There's a tool called CSEQ2MIDI. It's rather incomplete, so it doesn't convert everything properly.

I GOT IT @PabloMK7!!! What I did was:
1) Open ROMFS\Sound\extData\GRP_CR_DS_KILLER_SHIP.bcgrp in HxD
2) Navigate to Hex Address: 0x262C0
3) Change the text-string "CSEQ" to "CGRP"
4) Save the BCGRP and test on 3DS

It all suddenly struck me that the BCGRP could have a sequence that was responsible. Previously, we saw that ctr_dash.bcsar had a CSEQ at hex address "0x9A1A80" which was responsible for Frontrunning beats. When I examined the entire CSEQ, I saw text strings "ikeike" and "loopstart"... Now similarly, a CSEQ at "0x262C0" in GRP_CR_DS_KILLER_SHIP.bcgrp had the same text strings. I immediately did the needful and removed the beats.

How are you loading the mod? CFW method or hans?

Loading with the cia

Loading with the cia

Actually, I think there is some sort of bug with the file redirection, I'm remaking that part of the code, so it will be fixed hopefully soon. For now, trying with another SD card may help.

How did you install the mod by the way? Check if there are any files inside SD:/CTGP-7/gamefs/Course

Did you check the files in the SD? Why did you link the zip?
