Hacking Reggie! - NSMBWii Level Editor

[GolfDude]

hmmm as the other user said, using config usb loader i can play your levels, and it seems a newer revision of usb laoder has the custom levels working as well without issue... so for me that issue is closed...

did i mention 1-4 is nasty

SPOILER WARNING.. DO NOT GO BELOW IF U DIDNT PLAY 1-4
and i found an unreplicatable glitch in 1-4 ...

























sorry for the spoilers, but when i got to koopa kid, he died along the "east" wall but he didnt die, he was standing on the edge of the lava and partially inside the wall and same wall jumped up to the ledge where i could hit him again, he then spun into toad's area where he spun himself into the wall and finally could jump on him for the kill.. but quite an odd glitch to have him stand on the lava and wall jump straight up

I don't think that this has been asked, but can we have at least the level loading program? That way, we can load these AWESOME test levels without editing our ISOs? If you say no, I don't care, but I would like to play them at full speed on my Wii rather than on Dolphin...

It's not ready yet - once it's finished and polished, it will be released alongside Reggie. I'm pretty sure that WiiScrubber is the best solution you have right now..

Golf - That'd be one of those 'within my limitations' things I mentioned. Koopas don't quite function correctly without a Boss Controller - Tower sprite, but adding one will cause the level to complete upon their death, which ALSO doesn't work.

Does the LeiJi loader only work with ISOs or does it also work with game's bought from the shop? It's the PAL version of the game but when it starts is just has a blank screen and then I have to turn off my Wii. Or am I missing something?

I am the author of LeiJi Loader,I suggest you look NEOGANMA configuration,set the debugger to off.
LeiJi Loader can Redirect file 01_01.arc to sd card on DVD/SD/USB play game.

In fact,I hope LeiJi Loader works with Reggie Tools
"LeiJi" = "Reggie" in Chinese

,but Reggie has completed development not yet.

Now?I can Redirect any arc file access on my loader,and Not only run in pal version?
If your Reggie Tools released,My LeiJi Loader will update maybe.

 

[Marc1994]

when will you release it?

 

[crwys]

when will you release it?

I see this a lot, I try to refrain from yelling at people when they make this comment. So far I have been good, but one of these days I am just going to explode on someone...

It will be released when they are done with it, they do not want to give an ETA because it will most likely not be accurate.

Just played through all 4 of these. Very cool.
I liked the way you took levels that we've all played 1000 times before and completely changed everything by putting a NSMBW twist on it.
The one thing that didn't feel right was 1-3 with regular terrain. It just kind of looked off to me. Even still, all 4 were great to play around with and I found myself running through them all multiple times.

Update time!!! Including a new level!

1-01 - Minor tweak to Area 1, trying to fix the background's height.

1-02 - No real changes.

1-03 - Switched to regular terrain. Did not test the new content yet, let me know if there are any bugs.

1-04 - No comment, I'll let you guys experience this one yourselves.

Did the best I could with the limitations of certain features.

Thanks for leaving a comment here

I tried Leiji with USB and PAL nsmb, but I only got a green screen.
1) put and rename levels to SD:\LeiJi\1_01.arc (it needs to be LeiJI, not leiji, right ?)
2) run Leiji, mount wbfs, and run nsmb.
I tried forcing some video mode, but it didn't help. I'm wondering if it could be a memory issue. maybe mem1 is full as it read SD to memory before launching ? (usbloaderGX started using mem2)

you must rename levels to SD:\LeiJi\ma_niao.arc and play stage 1-1.(start game with config "Debugger " OFF)
”ma_niao“= “Mario” in Chinese Joke

.

I use C function fopen() to open file,so the file path can be LeiJi or leiji and etc.

mem isn't a question.
I have found a way to get memory from every game,it can be mem1 or mem2.
In fact,LeiJi Loader get 1M memory form mem1(stack area move to high-address) and get 1M memory form mem2(change mem2 lowAddress).

LeiJi Loader isn't really a file access redirection.
BUT I have found a way to do it on every game.(Zelda TP hack have do it , read sd filesystem)

So After The Chinese New Year's Day(2010.2.14), I will release some interesting Loader maybe.

 

[Cyan]

ah yes, it was ma_niao (sorry, I was at my work and forget the filename

). But that's what I renamed it.
I'll try again with the debugger off.
Edit : Debugger is already "no".

I remembered ma niao = mario, and I thought Leiji = Luigi

I didn't thought Leiji was for Reggie ^^

Oh, this year it's the same day as Valentin's day.

Can you play NSMB by neogamma r8 beta7?If you can,I have no idea about get green screen.
I can play NSMB Pal ISO by LeiJi Loader,It works.

Or, which open source Loader have better compatibility? I will continue make code on that.

I didn't thought Leiji was for Reggie ^^

The reason that I writing program to load arc file without mod ISO IS feel the "Reggie" Software's name is fun,so I want the thing be more interesting.

you can play nsmb pal with neogamma r8 beta 7, its the only one that works for me, otherwise i get green screen

@goyouwii: Great idea to load .arc-files from SD, so we can keep a completely clean .iso on USB!! Nice work.

I have a question: Would it be possible to load/replace more than just one file from SD.
Something like:
ma_niao_1-1.arc replaces 1-1,
ma_niao_1-2.arc replaces 1-2,
...
and so on. That'd be extremely convenient.

I tried Leiji with USB and PAL nsmb, but I only got a green screen.

I can load NSMBW with LeiJi and lvl 1-1 works just fine. Though this only works for me when I play NSMBW from disk. I have a D2pro, and maybe because of that no patching is needed (Hook Type VBI). When playing from USB there seems to be a problem. I have to load a patched .dol from SD to start the game, and this somehow appears to conflict with LeiJi (at least for me it does). So what I did was integrate the .dol with Wiiscrubber into NSMBW .iso and try again. Now only LEiJi pulls files from SD and it works.

good idea,that's just what i was thinking.
NOW,It is possible to replace ANY file on ANY GAME as me.

so,I want make a standard loader to do it,or make File Replace Library for other WII ISO/USB/SD Loader.

SO PLEASE WAIT.

If Reggie! Tools released before the Chinese New Year,you will see some interesting stuff.

A suggestion for the file table for the replacements...

Search for:
SD (or USB?):/LeiJi/[GameID]/[Partition Number (for the ones with different partitions...)]/[Folder(s)]/[Filename.extension]
ex. F:/LeiJi/SMNE01/1/Stage/01-01.arc
(SMNE01=USA NSMBW)

 

[Cyan]

We should continue Leiji's discussion to Leiji thread, and leave this one for Reggie! news and updates

 

[meohsix]

i used WIIScrubber to put the .arc files into the .iso and they all worked fine
level 1-4 IS AWESOME! great work guys
