ROM Hack NES VC Custom Download Play?

[Damin72]

I remeber a video, where guy create a custom VC Download Play and... I don't hear any news about that. Can we make a custom NES VC with multyplayer or not?

Yes we can, but currently, there's no tutorials.

Hey I chatted with ihaveamac, and he shared the secret with me. I might eventually make a tutorial; I'm happy to collaborate on that with someone else.

Here's what you need to know. I assume you have knowledge and experience with manual NES VC injections, and not just the one-step Windows tool:

• You have to use a DLP NES VC CIA as a starting point. I used Ice Climber. We'll call it the Main CIA.
• The Main CIA has 3 partitions:
  • PART0 is the main game (CXI)
  • PART1 is the manual (CFA)
  • PART2 is the DLP partition (CFA)
• The DLP partition has just one file in its romfs, which is a CIA file, we'll call it the DLP CIA
• DLP CIA has just one partition:
  • DLP CIA PART0 is the game (CXI)
  • This PART0 can be identical to the PART0 of the main CIA
• DLP CIA must be encrypted using a utility like Decrypt9WIP.
  • It gets installed to the client's NAND, and the system requires all CIAs on the NAND to be encrypted. If you don't do this you will get a black screen on the client.
• Everything else is managed the same way as single-player NES VC injection.
  • ctrtool and makerom are incredible utilities.
  • Make sure you modify the ROM's first 16 bytes.
  • Modify the banners and such to your heart's content.

Sadly, this process is labor-intensive. Since Decrypt9WIP has to be run on the console, only parts of it can be automated. I have used this technique to make DLP-enabled versions of Mendel Palace and Contra with great success.

edit: This was a very confusing description, so here is a diagram.

It isn't really a secret, but yea.... I know how because I asked Ihaveamac too

Are there any other VC titles this can be done with?

 

[Deleted User]

I noticed this with other titles (Mario Kart 7) I saw a folder when I extracted a .cia of Ice Climber/MK7 there is a folder that says DownloadPlay and there is a cia in that folder, how can you inject a rom into that .cia? Is there a tool or a manual conversion with a tutorial? Please respond.

I've been working really hard to get this to work, anybody able to help with a tutorial? I emailed ihaveamac but he hasn't gotten back to me. I really want to figure out how to do this for some multiplayer 3DS goodness. TMNT 2, the superior Japanese version of Rampart (translated to English now), and the Ducktales 2, 2 player hack.

I've been fiddling with ctrtool and 3dstool in CMD and godmode9 on my 3ds and have made some progress but I'm a little lost and just not quite getting it.

Solved. Asdolo linked me to NSUI, it has all the DLP features in an easy UI.

Also for anyone wondering, there's a thread started last week on "That ISO Site" where Multiplayer NES games for 3DS have been listed...
