ROM Hack [GUIDE] NSMB2 Custom Levels & Mods (The Easier Way)

[Gimzie]

Ok thx i been wanting to do this for a while. New super Mario bros next may continue maby

I really want to get this out of the way, so here I go.

Next is dead.

I have contact with all the people who worked on Next, along with me working in it for a while, and nobody wants to revive Next.

THIS GUIDE ONLY WORKS IF YOUR 3DS IS UNDER SYSTEM VERSION 11.3 UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE FULL A9LH (Check in System Settings)
​

​

BTW, um, I think it can be worded better.

"THIS GUIDE WILL NOT WORK ON A STOCK 3DS ON SYSTEM VERSION 11.3. (If you want to know your firmware, check in system settings)"

Also, "FULL A9LH"

Um, sorry to be rude, but there is no "partial A9LH", so that wouldn't make any sence.

Updated with new CoinKiller build, and some other minor thread updates!

Another Coinkiller build update, this one contains a lot more sprite images.

I put the plugin in E:\plugin\000400000007AE00 and I put the Course,Model,and Unit folders in E:\OnionFS\000400000007AE00\romfs and when I open the game with ntr it flashes green as normal but it doesn't load the Course,Model,and Unit for some reason.

Don't worry, I know a lot of people have been having issues with OnionFS. A new method was released yesterday, and it is way easier to set up. I'm planning to update this thread today.

 

[MrMann]

Ok!

 

[Gimzie]

Ok!

The new method doesn't seem to work, I've been trying to get it to work, and others haven't had any luck either.

Meanwhile, I've posted some troubleshooting tips in the OnionFS section of the guide.

Whenever i try to launch my custom levels the game crashes on the screen right before the level starts, any idea what causes this?

Something in your level is causing the game to crash, or the level is fully corrupt.

Can you update the post to include Luma3DS 7.0 layeredFS?

 

[Gimzie]

I found a fix for the NSMB2 issue, so I'm updating it as we speak!

EDIT: Never mind what I said, the method seems to not work. NSMB2 is broken with the new Luma 7 method.

What could be causing this? I just changed the background and music, ad moved a start coin. (11.3 Luma3ds 7.0)

Check your entrance, as well as zone settings. It may have also corrupted itself. Just curious, did you actually get Luma 7 to work with NSMB2?

I just followed the guide, i assume 1-1 got messed up so i'll fix that, but the customization of levels is working fine on other levels, so i guess i did get it to work, but with your guide. i Must've done something wrong and then it caused it to work.

Either way, glad you got it fixed!

Finally, the NSMB2 Luma 7.0 issue was fixed. Everyone should switch over to this new method, it's incredibly easy to set up.

Sorry for the double spoilers, that's GBATemp's problem.
