I am rewriting mkds course modifier. When I release it it will be version 4.0.
I allready have:
Ncgr
Nclr
Nscr
Nsbtx
Nsbmd
Raw graphics (ncg.bin for example)
Raw palettes (ncl.bin for example)
Raw screen files (nsc.bin for example)
All full rewritten by myself.
Narc is also included allready. Bu I took it from old mkds course modifier because it worked good and I wrote it myself.

I am working on it. It will be rewritten. And released soon. (maybe in a month or 2 months but I am not sure)
By the way. I have perfect NSBCA and NSBTA allready.
NSBMA,
NSBTA,
NSBTP and
NSBCA
Are now also working. Only nsbca glitches a bit. It is a glitch between rotation and scale. I am trying to fix it.
Nsbtx can allready be edited. Only type 5 (4x4 texel) have to be done. Generating and viewing is f*cking fast. Spa also work. I found out how they work. They are particle files. They are in mkds for example. But also in nsmb.

Welcome to my How-to "Get the MKDSCM"!
-Step 1: Wait for release
-Step 2: Click on download when released
-Step 3: Use it
Was that so hard? -_-
Lots of shiny 3d related features there Gericom... I look forward to having those to play with over the mish mash of tools I use right now.
Any chance of a debug window to output all the relevant info (basically anything and everything from vertex lists to texture palette locations) in case it is necessary to use a hex editor and/or tile editors for textures? If we are going truly crazy it might be nice to have a little converter for vertex locations (until a full 3d editor gets made it is hex editor time and I dislike having to convert between hex on the screen and the fixed point the 3d hardware favours).
Also when you say perfect NSBMD and co do you mean all the odd versions since discovered in various games (lowlines was discussing it a while back for his console tool) or perfect for Mario Kart (and most other games as they tend not to stray far from MK)? If the former I would be curious to see your list of games that did not play well with the normally understood versions of NSBMD.

Maybe you can send me such a special nsbmd? And I don't fully understand why you want a debug window.
Re mods video we had a thread http://gbatemp.net/topic/125374-player-of-vx-file/ and http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Mobiclip_Video_Codec has a tiny bit more. For what it is worth it is likely a hard thing to pull off and for the most part if people want to rip them we just tell them to do a filesystem hack and use desmume video options. It is more or less a full video codec and those are not pleasant to reverse engineer. Good news is most other video is frame by frame decoding a la motion jpeg or rad/bink which there is a decoder for.
As for special NSBMD afraid I do not really have any right now (at best I have a few different extensions or archive files but that changes nothing) but I am told there were some. http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=8407.0 might have something but this being said trying to tell what is NSBMDtool not working and what is actually different might be tricky. I will scour my history and bookmarks to see if I can drag something up.
Debug window like how nsbmdtool and tinke* will list locations of vertices, textures, palettes for textures, texture sizes and everything else. Basically like how a we can make an SMAP file but

It's not the movies or games downloads that I would worry about, like breaking into networks, downloading encrypted things, spying on network traffic. I have seen so many "Top Secret" seals on files when I was a kid -

I was obsessed with finding UFOs, a surprising amount of US files where stashed on computers in other countries, China back in the early 90s omg sooo much

Yea that crazy, I've never tried hack into anything, I just pirate, and my ISP have send me 3-4 letters, so had to VPN it -

Ship to ship communication software for the Navy although without access to the encrypting chips it was mostly useless

I bet now a 4090 could probably crack it? Hmmm maybe not even back then I'm pretty sure they where using like 1024 bit encryption
