Hacking Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii is out now.

[Wiimm]

Disc versions v1.01 and v1.02 use the same ID6?
Then find out the difference of at least one extracted file. Easiest seems to decide by a file length.

If you own both images, command: wit fdiff image1 image2
is your friend to find differences.

That make is much easier:
if exist nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2010-01-05_152101 goto version2

 

[damysteryman]

Well, that is all from me for now, got to go now, will reply tomorrow after I get some sleep, cya later all.

Here's a GNU/Linux Patchscript, based on DMMs work (and with some help of Wiimm)

Example call:
$ ./mknewersmb.sh --iso=path_to_Dump --newerfiles=path_to_NewerSMB.zip --version=EURv1

--newerfiles expects a zip-file, not an extracted directory
--version expects EURv1, EURv2, USAv1, USAv2 oder JPNv1 as argument
a second call of the scripts (unless you manually wiped the files) only requires --version parameter

Download (License: GNU GPL v3)
http://downloads.nanolx.org/mknewersmb_1.1.tar.bz2

Changes

v1.1:
- new patches for EURv2, USAv1, USAv2, JPNv1 added (DMM)
- properly handle dutch
- small code improvements
- --version= parameter (to pass game version)

v1.0:
- first version

Thanks
* DMM (damysteryman) for Windows version
* Wiimm (for beta-tests)

FWIW I saw a few pages back someone asking about AnotherSMBW. I have that as well as SMBW2 The Next Levels...I found them already done (both as wbfs I converted to iso) and they're working. I'm working on testing Newer right now, I'm waiting to see if my ISO rip was clean (burning it right now to check). Assuming it works I'll use this patcher and get a proper test to report back :]

Thanks again.

 

[Excelsiior]

could owners of JPNv1, USAv1 and USAv2 please post what they have in:

nsmb.d\files\

? so what we can add auto-detection of game version.

EURv1 = nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2009-10-03_232911
EURv2 = nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2010-01-05_152101
USAv1 = ?
USAv2 = ?
JPNv1= ?

Another note (little bit off topic):
At the beginning of development of my ISO tools in 2009 I was bashed via PM by different members: "Why not making a GUI. A command line will never be needed or used". An now if I see a little project like this, I get my satisfaction and I know, that a command line was definitely the right choice.

OK, back again, and here is a new version of my builder package:
NewerISOBuilderPack_v1.011_dmm.zip
^ UPDATED! fixes Title Scree Error for non-EUR versions.

Unnofficial Automatic ISO Builder Pack v1.011 for Newer SMBW
Pack built by damysteryman/TeamDARK
 
Thanks to Treeki for info on NSMBW dol patching and ISO building
Thanks to Wiimm for Batch file info and assistance
Credits also to Wiimm for WIT, included in this pack
Credits to Icarus of Paradox for ApplyPPF3, included in this pack
Also thanks to everybody who provided .dol versions I did not have
 
This will combine an ISO copy of New Super Mario Bros.
Wii and NewerTeam's Riivolution-style Newer package to build an
ISO version of Newer.
 
Should work with All EUR and USA versions, and JPN v1 version.
(Currently only tested with EURv2 at this time)
 
HOWTO:
1. Extract contents of this .zip file to a new working directory.
Get your ISO of NSMBW, and copy it to the same directory as
this README file.
2. Copy the "NewerSMBW" folder from the NewerSMBW.zip package to the same
directory as this README (you can download Newer from
http://newerteam.com if you have not done so already already)
3. Run Build_Newer.bat, follow its prompts (specify the base ISO's version,
and the output file format) and wait for it to build the Newer ISO.
4. Use/run the newly built ISO however way you would :P
5. Enjoy!
 
Generated Newer ISO has Header GameID of SMNx03, and tmd/ticket ID of KMNx
to keep savegame seperate from original game's one.
 
Changelog:
 
v1.011
- Fixed typo in .bat causing Titlescreen logo not to be replaced on
non-EUR versions
 
v1.01
- Renamed it from Patcher to Builder
- Added support for EUR, USA, and JAPv1
- No longer requires ISO to be an exact name
- Added ability to select output format from either iso or wbfs
- Changed generated ISO's GameID from SMNx02 to SMNx03 to avoid conflict with
another existing Custom NSMBW
- Fixed an error which would cause German and Dutch versions to break
 
v1.00
- Initial release

This version Sould support all EUR and USA versions, and JPNv1. (But I have only personally tested EURv1) Also allows for the input NSMBW ISO to be any format that WIT accepts, and also allows you to generate either a .iso or .wbfs of Newer.

I did not know how to autodetect the version of the ISO you are using, so the Batch file will ask you which version you are using as a base, and also which output format you would like. If one version does not work, hopefully trying another version will

Also, it is recommend to delete your older Newer ISO if you have one, as this uses a different GameID now (SMNx03), since SMNE02 was already taken by another custom NSMBW mod out there according to GameTDB.

Tested EURv1 on Wii via USB Loader GX, works fine.
Tried testing on dolphin, unsure which version, apparently compiled on 2012-12-24, blackscreened, no clue why.
I hope all the other versions I have not tested work as they should

Enjoy!

Awesome!
That was fast, thanks a lot! I really wanted to play this

It works fine on Dolphin 3.5, by the way.

@Excelsiior:

For a unique file for USAv1, I think "nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2009-10-03_232303" will work. Also, you forgot the "/NewerFiles/" on line 30.

In any case, I just tried it and your patch doesn't seem to work for me. :/ As mentioned, I'm using USAv1. Under postloader, I get a long delay on a black screen and then it reboots.

In any case, I'd make a small suggest and make the output name/id be based on the version, with the suggestion of "K..." for klone as others have suggested to avoid any sort of name collision. So, for me it'd be KMNE01.wbfs.

 

[Hoowahman]

EURv1 = nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2009-10-03_232911
EURv2 = nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2010-01-05_152101
USAv1 = nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2009-10-03_232303
USAv2 = nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2010-01-05_143554
JPNv1 = nsmb.d\files\COPYDATE_LAST_2009-10-03_231655

 

[Excelsiior]

Thanks for posting the file names!

========

Example call:
$ ./mknewersmb.sh --iso=path_to_Dump --newerfiles=path_to_NewerSMB.zi

Notes

• default path for your original dump: ./BASE.iso or ./BASE.wbfs (if it exists --iso parameter is not required)
• default path for your NewerFiles directory (no need to fiddle around with subdirs): ./NewerFiles/ (if it exits --newerfiles is not required)
• --newerfiles expects a zip file, not an unpacked directory
• --version expects EURv1, EURv2, USAv1, USAv2 or JPNv1 as argument (only if auto-detection fails)
• if --sharesave was passed NewerSMB shares the savegame with the original game, else it gets a separated savegame
• using --customid=XXXXXX you can pass a customid (usefull if you have another custom game that already uses SMN?02 as ID)
• if you call the script again, you don't need to pass --iso and --newerfiles parameters (that is, if you didn't wipe all generated files)

Download (License: GNU GPL v3)
http://downloads.nanolx.org/mknewersmb_1.2.tar.bz2

Changes:

v1.2:
- autodetection of game version (EURv1,  EURv2, USAv1, USAv2, JPNv1)
- fix bug creating USA/JPN-versions
- --sharesvae parameter
- --customid parameter
- redirect unzip-output to /dev/null
 
v1.1:
- new patches for EURv2, USAv1, USAv2, JPNv1 added (DMM)
- properly handle dutch
- small code improvements
- --version= parameter (to pass game version)
 
v1.0:
- first version

Thanks
* DMM (damysteryman) for Windows version
* Wiimm (for beta-tests)

@Excelsiior: Thanks, that fixed for me.

 

[Oisterboy]

WOW! I tested it, everything worked wonderfully. I'm on an NTSC Wii loading with Neogamma from a DVD-R. I didn't know what version iso I had so I randomly chose 1 and it was correct.

Impressed isn't even a strong enough word to say how much I approve of this game. I've played hacks before but this one is stunning.

Thanks so much. It felt really wrong to let something this rad sit on my SD card rather than take a proper place on my shelf of games. I really appreciate the effort!

 

[Hielkenator]

Thank you ! Awesome job!

 

[Katsumi San]

After four hours of playing.. I have to say this newer is much more better than original lol. And I do not know what version my NTSC-U ISO is but it is run smoothly in USBLoaderGX 3.0 rev1215. Thanks @damysteryman

 

[markehmus]

awesome work !

I'm glad you stuck with command line. Anyone could add a GUI to it if they wanted. Honestly if a user can't handle a command line interface then they probably have no business using your tools to begin with.

I agree, a lot better than the original!!!

 

[sabfrompc]

If anyone wants to patch another to iso, they can just use jceggbert's old patch. He posted this back when it first came out. Also, these are links that actually work, unlike the ones in the original thread for another on rii.

Here are working links:
Part 1 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mjqg8sqf3f4c20x
Part 2 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o9j1atm0hgnju4z
Part 3 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yozfslqy5ledhj4
Part 4 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qojjsc13bak3s9c

These are probably the same links as before, but I removed the 'private' flag from the files.

And, as they are the same file, use the original instructions. To be honest, I forgot the original instructions, but it should be unzip with 7zip, use included xdelta patch on a clean USA NSMBWii ISO (required MD5 in 7z file), and put new ISO into WiiFlow.
