    5bg File Format

    The 5bg format (which a file having an extension .lz5bg, is likely to just be an LZ-compressed version of) the BG/OBJ graphics file format of iMageStudio 5. These take the structure of a binary block sequence (the same one as in an NCLR, NCGR, etc format file). These files have a file signature...

    Mario Kart DS - Custom Tracks Grand Prix NITRO (CTGP NITRO) v1.0.0 Release

    Indeed, new tracks are the plan. If you mean compatibility with vanilla players online, this isn't planned currently. We change the network packet format to implement some fixes for some tracks online.

    Mario Kart DS - Custom Tracks Grand Prix NITRO (CTGP NITRO) v1.0.0 Release

    One of the goals of CTGP Nitro is to retain compatibility with the base game. As it turned out, one of the collision flags in the game goes unused and is suitable to be used as a trickable flag. With this, implementing tricks becomes feasible and is currently being implemented.

    ROM Hack Mario Kart DS - Custom Tracks Grand Prix NITRO (CTGP NITRO) v1.1.0 Release

    Making a DS game connect to a WPA/WPA2 AP isn't as trivial as you make it sound. This would require a rewrite of Marionea/WL and DWC autoconnect processes. Before any of this happens, to be feasible at all, the Mario Kart DS decompilation should be in a shiftable state. Seeing that this is still...

    ROM Hack Mario Kart DS - Custom Tracks Grand Prix NITRO (CTGP NITRO) v1.1.0 Release

    The DS does WEP encryption and decryption in hardware, and can only be enabled/disabled. With the WEP engine disabled, protected frames don't raise the RX end interrupt. All of the code for driving the wireless interface is contained within each game, so Mario Kart DS on any system will only...

    ROM Hack Mario Kart DS - Custom Tracks Grand Prix NITRO (CTGP NITRO) v1.1.0 Release

    Some of the tracks were removed for gameplay reasons. Tracks like RC Car Challenge were removed since we had more submissions and not enough to add more cups, so we opted to remove some of those tracks. There was a dispute with one of the track creators, so his entries have been removed, but...

    Mario Kart DS - Custom Tracks Grand Prix NITRO (CTGP NITRO) v1.0.0 Release

    Thanks, that's always awesome to hear :) A bit ago Prellit did develop a tricks patch, but this will not be implemented into the game as that would be a core mechanic change. The same reason the modern drift was canned.

    Mario Kart DS - Custom Tracks Grand Prix NITRO (CTGP NITRO) v1.0.0 Release

    Sorry I forgot to give any updates on this, but everyone's schedules have been kind of tricky to work around, my own included. This did result in the end date getting pushed back a few times, but we're fairly certain a new version will be able to release soon. The development blog on the website...

    ROM Hack Itadaki Street Ds open translation

    I figure this thread is old enough that this may not be an issue anymore, or perhaps this is already figured out, but I was curious if anyone else had come across the ICL, ICG, ISC, and IOB file formats. I recently found out what the structure of these files are, being a format very similar to...
