On your sd card remove the folder ctgp7 then it won't load the hack but still get to use your mk7 plugin. Put the folder in a safe place on your desktop so you don't lose it.
Just rename the file SD:/plugin/<MK7tid>/CTGP-7OnionFS.plg to .plg1 for example.
In the future I'll fix that by using a custom plugin path.
Hello, Im having a problem when building the cia, this is what it says on the log file:
This version of \ CTGP-7 \ tools \ makerom.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running. Check the computer system information to see if you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
This may be bad translated since it's a windows error and I'm spanish(I just passed it through google translate)
Could it be that the makerom.exe is 64-bit only? I'm using 32-bit windows(on a 11-year-old computer)
If so, there is any version out there of the makerom.exe for 32-bit systems?
EDIT: If you tink I should use another method I will try but I think NTR doesn't work on 11.3 versions(correct me if I'm wrong) and I really don't like using Hand, also I don't care if I can't go online, so it would be more comfortable for me to have a separate game with the mod installed

Just use NTR. It's compatible with 11.3. I use it all the time. Also, that wasn't badly translated. That's probably Google Translate's best ever. Since your PC is 11 years old, the OS may be too old to run the makerom.
Okay, I will try and use it(need to install ntr first)
That's what I think, since my computer is 32-bits, maybe the makerom is 64-bit only
Thank you both, and awesome job you did with this hack Pablo
Maku sure you are using the tutorial in the OP
http://gbatemp.net/threads/mario-kart-7-custom-track-grand-prix-7-ctgp-7.396936/#TUTORIALIn this guide I assume:
- You have a MK7 copy (physical, digital or installed cia)
- You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7
- You have a CFW set up. (I recommend Luma3DS)
- You can install cias. (I recommend using FBI)
I don't need ntr?
Is it included or something?
I'm not really good with these things

Actually, every time the console crashes while NTR is running it does with a "press the power button" like error but that's not your case. Where exactly did it crash?

Random instances in the middle of races. This is not something I usually experience.
CTGP-7 - Custom Track Grand Prix 7
CTGP-7 is a modpack for MK7 which includes several Custom Tracks, texture hacks, music hacks... (and Red Yoshi :3). It can be played using three different methods: HANS, NTR CFW or CIA. Here are the advantages of each one:
- NTR CFW (recommended): Easy install, can enable/disable custom tracks, can update itself without a PC, can go online if you have a prepatched 1.1 copy and you are in lastest firmware. NTR is not a standalone CFW, it works at the same time as your installed CFW, so it only makes a few patches to allow plugins to be loaded to games. In this case, it will install OnionFS that will redirect romfs reads to the SD. Works on versions from 9.0.0 to 11.3 CFW
- HANS: Launches from Homebrew Launcher, so no need to install anything else, however, it can't update, nor can disable/enable custom tracks. You can go online if you are in lastest version, or you use this. Works on versions from 9.0.0 to 11.3 (Doesn't work with 11.0 browserhax)
- CIA: Installs to the home menu as a new app, with a different TitleID, so it doesn't overwrite existing game. However, it cannot be updated, nor enable/disable custom tracks, you'll need 1.4GB free in your SD. (700MB if using FBI network install). Works on any version CFW.

FAQQ. Which method do you recommend?
A. I recommend using NTR CFW, as it can be installed very easily, updated without the need of a PC and allows 200cc mode. If you can't manage to get it work, even after reading the common problems section in the tutorial, use cia build method. If you can't install cias, then use HANS method, since it can be used with Homebrew Launcher in any version.
Q. I can't go online because the game tells me to update Mario Kart 7. (HANS method)
There are two different MK7 versions, 1.0 and 1.1. You can only go online if your game is in 1.1, even without the eshop 1.1 update patch. Let me explain this, Back when Nintendo released the 1.1 patch in the eshop (about 2012), they stopped producing 1.0 cartridges, and started producing 1.1 cartridges, which had the update patch already applied in the rom itself. I'll refer to those games as prepatched games. (this applies to cartridges and digital versions). Only 1.1 prepatched games will be able to go online, because HANS just doesn't load it. (You may still see the v1.1 label in the multiplayer menu, but that's just because the romhack is based on 1.1 files). If you have bought a 1.0 digital version, backup your save, uninstall the game and download it again from the eshop. This action will install the prepatched 1.1 game. If you have a 1.0 cartridge version, nothing can be done right now.
Q. The game crashes at some points.
A. This mod is not perfect, and that's why it's still in BETA. If the game crashes during a race, try disabling L2 cache and cpu settings in luma if you are using CFW. Else, please report it here, or if you don't have a github account, send me a PM.
Q. Will this mod overwrite my MK7 game?
A. Nope, the patches are temporal and will be gone after a reboot. It will however overwrite ghosts if you beat your previous ones in Time Trials. You can backup your save with this tool.
TUTORIALHANS method:
In this guide I assume:
- You have access to homebrew launcher, and have the lastest starter kit copied to your SD.
- You have a MK7 copy (physical, digital or installed cia)
- You can open zip files.
- You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7
0. If you already have a decrypted cia/3ds file the same region and version of your game, or dumped from it, go to step 6.
1. Download braindump, and copy the braindump folder to the 3ds folder in your SD.
2. Get into homebrew launcher and select braindump and press A. It will ask you for a target title, select MK7 and press A.
3. It will start dumping your game, if it fails, power off and try again (may need a few tries).
4. After it has finished dumping, extract your SD and go to your PC. You should see "0000000000030X00.cxi" (X = 6 -> JAP, 7 -> EUR, 8 -> USA) on your SD root.
5. Download official CTGP-7.zip from the link above, and extract it somewhere in your PC. Then copy "0000000000030X00.cxi" to the same folder you extracted CTGP-7.zip
6. Run Build_CTGP7.bat (it may tell you not to execute bat files if you don't trust the source, trust me, it doesn't have any viruses
7. A black window will open, ask the questions by pressing a number and then enter. (Game region, cia install availability and the method you want to use.)
8. After you have selected hans method in the black window, it will ask you to for your MK7 cia/3ds/cxi filename. Just press 00 and then tab key, so it autocompletes to 0000000000030X00.cxi and press enter.
9. Now it will start building CTGP-7, just wait until it finishes.
10. Go to log folder and open errorlog.txt, if you see any errors, read the troubleshooting section before proceeding.
11. Copy the contents of "output" folder near Build_CTGP7.bat to the root of your SD.
12. Insert the SD in your 3DS, go to the homebrew launcher , you will see CTGP-7 icon, run it.
13. Enjoy.
NOTE: YOU DON'T NEED TO RENAME ANY FILES.
Video tutorial.
NTR method (recommended):
In this guide I assume:
- You have a MK7 copy (physical, digital or installed cia)
- You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7
- You have a CFW set up. (I recommend Luma3DS)
- You can install cias. (I recommend using FBI)
1. Copy the CTGP-7.zip file you downloaded to the SD root (the zip should be 200MB more or less). Don't extract it, just place it there.
2. Install the CTGP-7 installer cia (qr code for FBI):
3. Launch the CTGP-7 installer cia, it will do the rest of the process automatically. (If you get error codes, read the troubleshooting section.)
4. Once it's done, the installer will automatically be replaced by the CTGP-7 manager cia, don't remove it or install the CTGP-7 installer again!
4.1: You may get an error the first time you try to launch CTGP-7, a reboot will fix it.
Video tutorial.
CIA method:
In this guide I assume:
- You have a legit MK7 decrypted cia. Use Decrypt9 (deep CIA decrypt option) to decrypt or dump it from your game card.
- You can open zip files.
- You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7
- You have a CFW set up. (I recommend Luma3DS)
- You can install cias. (I recommend using FBI)
1. Copy your cia file to the same folder as the bat file.
2. Run Build_CTGP7.bat (it may tell you not to execute bat files if you don't trust the source, trust me, it doesn't have any viruses
3. A black window will open, ask the questions by pressing a number and then enter. (Game region, cia install availability and the method you want to use. The TitleID can be changed, so it doesn't overwrite your existing game. You won't be able to go online tho.).
4. When it asks you, enter the name of your file with extension, and press enter.
5. Go to log folder and open errorlog.txt, if you see any errors, read the troubleshooting section.
6. Use whatever cia installer to install the cia file inside output folder to your 3ds.
TROUBLESHOOTINGHANS:
NTR:- Black screen after selecting CTGP-7: You may have an old starter kit or *hax installed, try updating to lastest starter kit and lastest *hax version. (Tested with *hax 2.8). NOTE: 11.0 browserhax doesn't work with CTGP-7, install menuhax.
- Missing target title: It can't detect your MK7 copy, either the game card isn't inserted, or you have selected the wrong region in Build_CTGP7. (Remember that "0000000000030X00.cxi" X = 6 -> JAP, 7 -> EUR, 8 -> USA).
- CTGP-7 icon doesn't show: You haven't copied the files to your SD correctly, make sure you copy the contents inside "output" folder, not the "output" folder itself to the SD card root. Also make sure you are using the most recent homebrew launcher.
- The main menu shows version 1.1 but I can't go online: The 1.1 string is there because the mod is based on 1.1 files, however if you have a 1.0 game, you won't be able to go online. Read the FAQ for more info.
- There is an error inside errorlog.txt:
- Error: "Not decrypted/MK7 game/error extracting romfs"
- Solution: The cxi is corrupted (try dumping it again, braindump can create bad dumps sometimes), or it isn't Mario Kart 7.
- Error: "Error opening input file"
- Solution: This can be because you have entered the wrong cxi filename, or braindump didn't dump the cxi correctly. Repeat from step 2 if this is the case.
- Error: "Error creating (foldername)"
- Solution: Ignore it.
CIA:- Installation error codes:
You may get error codes if something goes wrong in the installation, here are their meaning:
- After launching CTGP-7, an error pops up and asks you to save and reboot: This may happens sometimes. Just save and reboot and try again.
- Errors 1 to 5: The "files" folder data is corrupted and some files are missing, check you have copied them correctly to your SD. (1 -> files/lua/script.lua, 2 -> files/lua/resources/updater.cia, 3 -> files/CTGP-7.cia, 4 -> files/OnionFS/CTGP-7OnionFS.plg, 5 -> files/CTGP-7romfs/RaceCommon.szs)
- Error 6: The CTGP-7 installer cia and "files" folder data versions do not match, make sure you have downloaded lastest CTGP-7 data and CTGP-7 installer.
- Getting all errors (1 to 6): "files" folder missing.
- #Unknown firmware: Make sure your system version is compatible with NTR method. If Nintendo has released an update recently, a CTGP-7 update will be released soon to fix the problem. It may also happen because your CFW is outdated.
- Infinite 3DS logo when launching MK7 or starts unmodded: Make sure your CFW is updated. Make sure you are not using an outdated CFW such as rxtools. Try using a different NTR CFW version (v3.2, v3.3, v3.4). Make sure you are not using an outdated CTGP-7 version.
- There is an error inside errorlog.txt:
- Error: "Not decrypted/MK7 game"
- Solution: Your cia is not decrypted, corrupted (try dumping it again), or not Mario Kart 7.
- Warning: "Manual/dlp not found"
- You won't be able to access the manual, or create local multiplayer/dlp rooms (you can still join them). Everything else should work. That is because your 3ds/cia doesn't have dlp/3ds partitions.
- Error: "Error opening input file"
- Solution: This can be because you have entered the wrong cia filename, or it's a bad dump.
- Error: "Error creating (foldername)"
- Solution: Ignore it.

Great pack bro! Just une question.. how can i change the shells back to normal? They bother me.. and the menu music.. can i change it?

Well, you'll have to change a lot of files, some inside RaceCommon and other inside UI/race.szs. For the music, it is inside sound/stream

I'm using the NTR method, but the game keeps crashing. If I select anything other than 50cc, the game crashes. If I select any character besides Mario, the game also crashes. All of the tracks crash the game, too. All I did was run the installer and installed the USA version, then hit "Launch CTGP-7"
Basically anything expect the default selection crashes the game and the console reboots. I'm not using any other mods or anything.
EDIT: Fixed it. It was an NTR plugin I forgot I had installed. Oops.
