ROM Hack Super Mario Bros. - The New Worlds [NSMB Hack]

wigner · Nov 27, 2019

I just discovered this looking for snes SMW hacks...I had no idea DS rom hacks were also a thing, and am super excited for all new levels to play! Does anyone know if these types of hacks(or this one specifically) don't allow for "real time saves" or "suspend save states"? I was playing it on my SNESC thru drastic and can make and use suspend state saves a couple times, then they stop working or cause crashes. I busted out my old DSlite with an old CycloDS Evolution card and I can't get the real time save function to work at all. IIRC, you have to hold select when booting the game to first create a RTS file, but it never works...Can anyone help? I'd love to play this thru, but it is too hard to enjoy without using these types of saves for me...

Ooh, never seen this before. Looks good.
I see at least a couple new level themes in there, wonder if there are any more. Newer SMB had a ton of them, since it had all the standard ones, but had about twice as many worlds as normal.
@Zaptalin Are those tightropes you can jump on standard in the game? Been a while since I played the original NSMB but I don't remember it having those. If not, nice work, bet that took some asm hacking.

Save states are an exact copy of what's in RAM so there is no reason why they wouldn't work with every game. They can tend to be a bit buggy sometimes though, as there is more to the current state of the console than just the RAM. In certain locations or on certain screens it may not be possible to restore a save state without glitches, unless you go to the same screen (or similar location/screen) before loading it so that the DS has loaded in everything it needs. For example, you should usually not restore a save state on the title screen. Go ingame first and then restore it, you'll have a higher success rate. At least that was my experience.

Is RTS enabled in the settings on the CycloDS? I haven't used mine in forever, so I don't remember if that was an option, but I would assume so.

I had forgotten how to to use my Cyclo card, and the only manual online I could find (CycloDS Evolution Reference Manual v1.56) was full of LIES!! ...Well at least what it said about creating a RTS file didn't apply to my card for some reason. I stumbled across a menu (Y button when on game list menu) that creates one instead.
Now to attempt this amazing game!

Whether you haven't played Super Mario Bros. - The New Worlds yet or you want to replay it someday, now is the time.

Version 3.0 is now available for download!

Content:
> Every single level is revamped or redesigned
> Every level was optimized for the player experience meaning I tried to
-- reduce frustration factor (e.g. 4-Ghost House)
-- improve general level structure and overview
-- make it easier in general
> 3 completely new levels replacing bad or unfitting old ones
> Improved soundtrack (removed tower track, added 2 new ones)
> Improved graphics slightly (e.g. Candyland, Titlescreen, Scores)
> Added useful asm hacks

I can't list everything in detail regarding the levels that would be way too much. Some have minor changes while others got huge overhauls.

I even made a new trailer with my crappy recorder, I hope it's still watchable:

As always if you find bugs or anything, just let me know, your feedback is important.
