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

One question Pablo, how do you know which files have which extensions when EFE tells you absolutely NOTHING?!

Opening it in a hex editor, and watching its header.

I'm on v0.98 and still have lag on Banshee Boardwalk 2 occasionally. Please help.
Also, some courses have a bad CPU routes for the last few CPUs. Can that be fixed?

Only if you specify which courses.

A lot of them to be honest. Eg Shower Circuit.

lag on my CT could appear if you have slow SD and for that I will not totaly rework to on slow sd sorry ^^'
it work fine on my cheap 8GB SD not even a know brand.
So make sure your SD is pretty clean both in memory and in golden part of it.
Else I have no idea what could be your error as I personally try all my SD under one of worth condition.
If you use Hans try repacking.
As no lag at all can be felt in CFW method

PS: Thanks for tags it greatly help

Make sure you are using lastest version (0.9.9), luma is updated and you aren't using a firmware.bin

Was 0.9.9 a typo? I saw this post yesterday and just came here to compile the latest CIA but there is no newer version than 0.9.8.

God, I've got a 32 GB Class 10 microSD so it definitely is not the problem. What I've found out is this:
I use N3DS CPU Overclock with CTGP-7. So the CPU is running better than what it should. This might cause it to overheat, thus affecting it's performance. I'm sure of this because I'm now getting lag in many courses. Running at the normal clock rate didn't give lag. So that's the only drawback of Overclock.

And Pablo, sorry to disturb you again. I made a few more MSBT edits. This time I did it with the 36 KB File in common-ee.szs. Turns out the 3DS doesn't show anything different while MSBT Editor does. Anything I'm doing wrong?

 

[Gaming796]

Pablo, please help! I really wanna change those other stuff in the MSBT? Have you any ideas why the 3DS is not showing it? PLEASE HELP!

There is no need of bumping the thread, II'l eventually read your post.

It could be lots of things, I can't tell. Just try repeating the process.

Which string are you trying to edit?

 

[Gaming796]

Which string are you trying to edit?

A lot. In the 36 Approx KB File I remember changing "Local Multi/CTDP" to "Multiplayer" and "Online Multiplayer" to "Nintendo Network". I don't remember the strings but those were the keywords. Done using MSBT Editor. Give me some time if you want the exact String Nos

I'm on my task of getting the string Nos. Please wait for 10 min

The file I extracted just from my ROMFS didn't show the changes while the one I edited did. So is EFE causing trouble when I replaced the MSBT?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also it seems you can edit the Credits as well. Why don't you put the Credits in the OP on this one. You know, STAFF ROLL editing?

 

[Gaming796]

Here's my observation:
1. I view the MSBT I edited, everything's fine
2. I replace the original MSBT and re-extract and re-view it MSBT Editor. It's still fine, meaning EFE didn't screw up.
3. I Build the RomFS and extract the files from it. I extract the MSBT again and view it. Now, nothing's changed.

Is something happening during the time when the RomFS of being built?

Probably.
Make sure you are copying files to CTGp-7romfs/UI correctly.

But I can't be doing to wrong so MANY times?! Maybe I'll check the bat file to see if there's anything wrong.

Delete tempdata folder, maybe your antivirus is blocking it for some reason.

Boy you're right! Genius! I'll check that.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Found the culprit! It's the Build_CTGP-7.bat itself. It did not copy the edited common-ee.szs to the tempdata\romfs\UI folder!
