This project contains all digital e-reader files needed for complete e-reader functionality with Super Mario Advance 4.

This includes all English cards, all Japanese cards, as well as all Unreleased Japanese cards FULLY translated into English.

This process involved a lengthy number of steps, as well as careful research and testing.

The end result are the e-Reader card files, as Nintendo themselves would have created, had they released the cards into English.

This also includes the ELUSIVE and rare Level Card "No Time to Dawdle" in both English and Japanese! (Set number 07-A052)

Within this project are all of the card files throughout their different states (compressed/uncompressed/binary) as well as ALL of the text documentation and tool programs used to manipulate their data.


Java Code written by Renegade_X135:
* Card Level Extractor
* Incomplete Binary Creator
* Level Name Editor
* Save Level Extractor
* No$GBA Save Exporter
* File Comparator
(Code written by me is open source and can be incorporated into other projects, granted that I am credited as the original author.)


C Code written by Bangaio (GBATemp.net):
* sma4_regcon


Other programs included:
* Solar Magic Advance (LuigiBlood)
* sma4savfix (purplebridge001)
* sma4comp (purplebridge001)
* sma4savtool (purplebridge001)
* nedcenc (CaitSith2)
* raw2bmp (CaitSith2)
* nedclib.dll (CaitSith2)


I have also included .bat files that will run each of the programs as intended, as well as a "master batch" file that converts everything unreleased. (convert_all_unreleased_card_files.bat)


Emulators included for file Verification:
* No$GBA (plus an e-Reader save file with the SMA4 application installed)
* Visual Boy Advance


NOT included:
* Super Mario Advance 4 ROM/SAV files
* .RAW versions of the e-Reader files (use Solar Magic Advance to convert the .BIN files if desired)


Bonus inclusion, just for fun:
* All english e-Reader binary files for Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire


I hope that these files help people experience ALL of the e-Reader functionality from Super Mario Advance 4 to the full extent, as it was meant to be enjoyed 15 years ago in 2003.
