ROM Hack Official Mario Kart 7 - Custom Track Grand Prix 7 (CTGP-7)

[Gaming796]

This is absolute madness! Remember in my observations I'd said that the 3rd observation showed there was a problem. Well I re-built the RomFS using RomFS builder and that was fine. But still on the 3DS nothing changed. Crazy!!!!

 

[PabloMK7]

Found the culprit! It's the Build_CTGP-7.bat itself. It did not copy the edited common-ee.szs to the tempdata\romfs\UI folder!

There's no error in the bat. The whole folder is copied, not file by file :/

Thanks to @Nanquitas help:
0.9.10 is out (ntr method only):

• Fixed 11.2 O3DS crashing while booting ntr.
• Fixed bugs related to ntr loading.

With NTR you have to enable the custom tracks

I have a sort of analogy of the problem which MIGHT be correct:
First of I got this from icon changing in Windows 10. You see after changing icons on Windows 10, they won't show the changes instantly. You will need to rebuild the icon cache. Then on reboot, the icons will have changed. In a similar way, MK7 might have sort of a cache, for different purposes, including MSBTs. So till the time I have old cache, nothing will change.

Again, just a possibility. Not sure whether that's true. But that seems to fit the situation really good.

There is no "msbt cache".

I know. But still, something that would actually explain why nothing changed. But hey, I ain't gonna give up. I'm gonna wait. My PC will be back by the next week from repair. So if the PC was the problem it could be resolved, you see.

Hey! That reminds me of something. Windows 7 is the PC I tried with. MS says it's outdated. The Win 7 SP1 is not. I think the tools might not be working on a outdated OS, just like ctrtool. So maybe, what MSBT Editor is showing might really not be true... The tools did half of the work or something and that's exactly why it isn't working. But then again, how did my previous MSBT edit, done using the same PC which runs an outdated OS, actually work?

 

[Gaming796]

Currently re-trying. And this time, I edited all common-xx.szs files (excluding common-jp.szs). Building using RomFS Builder. I'm just hoping it works this time.

I just updated it, but now I get an error about the firmware.

 

[Gaming796]

I have a Q. Does the BCSTM Size matter in MK7 matter like MKWii? I remember that the BRSAR had to be patched to allow larger BRSTMs. Same for MK7? I'm asking because in one of my BCSTM hacks for Mario Circuit didn't play at all.

Skip NTR booting and continue updating.

Never had any issues.

So I could change frequency to 44.1 K, thus increasing the file size and it should be fine?

Yep

 

[Philip3ds]

Skip NTR booting and continue updating.

How to I do that?

 

[Gaming796]

Yep

I'll try then. Though that Mario Circuit hack was wierd.

After it tells you the error pres A to continue.
