How would I go about building an independently-running CIA of my music edits as a temporary fix to the long load times? I know it's possible to rebuild custom music into a 1.1.4 update CIA (Found an example of that on a certain iso site), but I can't find out how to compile anything as an update CIA, since compiling it as a .3ds gives it the title ID of smash itself for some reason...

Doing something weird to "rsf files" is about as far as I got looking around the internet on this...

Feel free to PM me about it. I can link you a guide to it. The Custom music 1.1.4 update you found on that site is one I made.

I saw on here someone mentioned deleting or altering some file on the sd card and that it could improve the load speeds somewhat but now I can't seem to find the post... Does anyone know what I'm talking about or how to make it not take like 4 minutes to actually load a smash battle? I love this and am very excited for smash 4 hacking but that's a considerable load time, even on stages where I am loading nothing custom at all. I'm assuming that it is literally scanning the SaltySD folder for every single file in the game before finally just loading it from the cia. Is there any way to maybe edit a txt or xml to point to only the specific files, a la Riivolution?


That would be me, I believe. I was talking about the "cachegen.py". It makes loading the game MUCH faster. I've been able to play matches on Anther's ladder just fine actually thanks to it.

I'm curious as to how you made it load faster. A step-by-step would be greatly appreciated.

Cydget uploaded this onto another thread on here. This should make it easier
I tried that script and already added it to the guide, but when I use it and load up Smash, the game's loading time definitely increases greatly, but all of my edits are completely gone. I don't understand?

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

I'm assuming you have to run this and create a new cache every time you add a new file?

Yes. This will prevent the long loading times and avoid desyncs with players and local battles. The speed isn't 100%, but much better than before. Perhaps a New 3DS would have little to no trouble? I don't know. I have a regular 3DS XL.

Be sure to open the "Command Line.txt" file to copy what's typed. You can do it manually, but I decided to save you a few seconds. Follow the method I posted above and you should be golden.
