I know, I know ... there is a way to get a lot of lives in W1-2.
But someone asked for a Savegame Editor and I decided to make one.
Tested on EUR Game/O3DSXL (Card, I dont have eshop version of this game).

* unlock all worlds is a WIP Option - make sure you have a backup of your save *

I was working on a save editor too :P,
but if there are already two users working it doesn't matter, @DaBlackDeath @TheToxicRyu add in your editors a function to change the reserve item, for file 1 it's at 0x2b7c (at least on my eur save) it's only one byte long and can have those values:
00: nothing
01: mushroom
02: fire flower
03: leaf i guess (i didn't tested this)
04: rock leaf
05: boomerang flower
06: P-wing (i think that it's impossible to get in the game in the reserve box)
values > 06 makes the game crash (i tested only 07)

Thanks i already had that noted but i didn't know what P-Wing was so thanks for that and yes it is possible to have it in there in game.

i didnt know why its didnt work :blink:. i used homebrew on 3ds 9.9.0-26U. used a app. maked a backup. copy my backup. edited my backup (Sd Card) Then Saved. then i Open YouTube (Now Tubehax) work fine. i go to Save Manager. i choosed Super Mario 3D Land. then move the backup to the game... then i clicked B. then the only thing was happen was: Quited the app. maybe the creator forSave Manager should use a new Button. (X. Y. R and L. etc.)

Did you make sure that you only have the save file/s for sm3dl in not multiple saves from other games?

Feedback on the Unlock All Worlds Option! Tested on the USA-eShop version on my New 3DS off of a fresh save file.

It absolutely unlocks all the worlds, but all the levels remain locked in the normal worlds, so you can only access the first level of each world. Oddly enough, most of the levels are unlocked in the special world except for the castle at the end, which needs coins to get into. Most of Special World 8 is locked by coins.

Nice work on this! I'll probably be playing through the game from scratch anyways but stuff like this is fun to mess with :D

Edit: Interesting side effect with items! If you go from Small Mario to Fire Mario using this patch, when you get hit by an enemy, you'll downgrade to Big Mario with no hat, then you'll downgrade to Little Mario WITH a hat, and then die. Normally Big Mario ALWAYS wears a hat, so that was kinda cool!

Hello, I'm trying to make my own save editor for this game and I can't seem to get it working. If I change the lives and reupload then I always get save corrupted message. I'm using the physical edition. I did a comparison between my original save and an edited save from your tool. It looks like you change the first 5 bytes of data every time. What is that data your changing and where are you getting it's value?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
