ROM Hack Making an intro for my hack!!

[Arras]

Huh. It looks like the game doesn't HAVE a GX_Init and FS_ReadFile or something. Or at least they don't show in the NEF Editor, which is why CrystalTile shows zeroes. Weird.

 

[SKJmin]

Grdiattack has an intro in his hack already... He hasn't made it self, smeone other made it for him, but he won't even tell HIM how he made that

Download his patch ond try to look what the difference is...

I think it was made with ASM coding

Edit:\ Hey Grid, sorry when I have attacked you, it was really unintentionally!!

 

[Arras]

The ARM9.bin changed. Different icon and bigger filesize, so that is one of the things that is changed. Not sure if it directly relates to the intro, but it probably does.
EDIT: Huh, that guy sure knew his stuff. Most important main files like the File Allocation Table changed Address to make the bigger ARM9 fit in. Just injecting it into a clean rom does not work. Or he used some other program.

Thanks, I'm sure it was the *** who made the NSMB Editor (Nope, not Treeki)
Those guys have the most friends in the real life

Do you think it's possible to see through?
I'm a bloody beginner in these things

 

[Arras]

I'm a beginner as well, and this sure doesn't look easy. Injecting edited ARM9 (That one is uncompressed) into original ROM won't work because it's too big, although I might be able to solve that problem if I had a Hex Editor (Which I do not), and injecting the original (compressed) ARM9 into the edited ROM gives a white screen on boot. The compressing might be the cause of the file size change. I'll try loading my own edited NSMB and see if that has the original ARM.
EDIT: CrystalTile crashes while trying to import an edited arm9 overlay file.
EDIT2: Edited in the arm9 overlay by hand, still white screen on boot. And my own NSMBe edited file HAS the original ARM9, so I'm pretty sure the images are stored in there somewhere.
EDIT3: NSMBe gives a "Index was outside the bounds of the array." whenever I try to open a level on the introed ROM... I'd say it's been changed pretty thoroughly. Can't you ask VENOM or someone else who has succesfully introed a ROM? They add intros to most of their cracked games...

Hmm.. The first bit of the ARM9 is the same, but after that it's completely different. I don't think I can help anymore here, this is all just a tad too complicated. It probably WAS edited straight into the ARM9, though.

MOAR EDIT: It IS different from a cracktro, as the introed rom's 4000-8000 hex entries are the same as the originals, whereas a cracktro would have changed AT LEAST 4000.

Don't bump topics, specially not after just 9 hours. If someone can help or answer they will. Next bump earns a warn.

 

[corenting]

You should contact SUXXORS because they looooove intros

Hmm, never heard of them O.o
I'm gonna search for the email... (you can help if you want)

Thanks!

 

[corenting]

Yes SUXXORS release a lot of cracked games with long and sophisticated cracktros :[ but I don't know their email...

If you know how to do edit NSMB title logo, you could edit it to include credits...

The Nintendo logo isn't editable, and if would be , I wouldn't change it, because the game IS from Nintendo!!
I'm just changing the levels and the "increase" the difficulty

Searched in 5 NFO-files but they're hidden very well...

 

[corenting]

Yes some groups like to be unreacheable...
You should accept XPA's intro...

EDIT : I just read in a old GBA NFO that they had a irc channel on efnet but this has been shutted down...

EDIT 2 : Groups with intro in their releases :SUXXORS, VENOM, XPA
BTW, I heard somewhere that SUXXORS is the name VENOM release crap under...

I'll wait 3 days...
When I cannot find any solution, I'm gonna release the hack without an intro...

 

[corenting]

OK I'm searching on editing graphics file...

EDIT : You can CrystalTile2, Tahaxan and TileMolester for 2D graphics...

Tried already, but when you know anything about these things... --> I couldn't make anything with these giles because I'm a bloody newbie

But you can try to find the Nintendo-LOGO screen...


I could edit the bottom screen of it...

Why even bother make an intro?

They're all stupid and annoying and people will know it's yours if they download it from your thread.
If you still want more credit, put your name in the header info.

Dude, search for New Super Mario Bros. 3, and you'll find a lot of results (topics) where they can download the file...
Do you think they call the name "SKJmin" in their threads?

But that's not the important part, I only want say something in the beginning, that's all!
The credits aren't interesting me, beliebe me or not...

Please post anything needable the next time, those post like yours are a shame for a guy with over 3,000 posts!
I could see it as a flame...

An artist have to choose the content they want to present, and not the players... even when it's stupid or annoying...
The game shows only a single logo in the beginning, so don't worry...


And I think that a solution was posted when I see my thread "bumped"...
