I added a link in the first post to patches to convert US (v1 and v2) and JAP (v1 and v2) ROMs to EUR ROM.
I will not be releasing separate patches, all released patches will be for the EUR ROM.

I've finished (mostly) two of the custom levels to replace the remaining main levels.
The rest of the levels, like the second level will be based on NSMB worlds (second is World 4).
I haven't had as much time as I'd have liked to be working on this hack over the past few months as I've been busy working on the editor, a few big bugs have been fixed that should solve issues with levels and NARC files becoming corrupt, as well as adding the ability to import and export a level as an XML file. Latest version R72 available here:

Just glad to see this alive and kicking!
Of course, my keyboard would get sticky if you released an alpha build.
You know, from the junk food on my fingers during a 24-hour play session.

Maybe a dumb question: Does the patched Rom actually work on a DSi? I patched the EU Rom of Mario 64 DS with the latest patch file, and as i tried to jump into the first world picture (Bomb-Omb) - white screen.
I'am using a Supercard ONEi.

Works fine here on my AK2i and DSi combo.Maybe a dumb question: Does the patched Rom actually work on a DSi? I patched the EU Rom of Mario 64 DS with the latest patch file, and as i tried to jump into the first world picture (Bomb-Omb) - white screen.

One thing to note is that (IIRC) there's two European versions; make sure you have the right one.
On advanscene.com i can only find one release...
Super_Mario_64_DS_PROPER_EUR_NDS-WetNWild
This is the release i'am using.
Well, the WetNWild dump works for me, so maye you did something wrong.
So far it's confirmed working on AceKard 2i, DSTwo and Gateway 3DS - DS Cart (and therefore most likely R4i as well).Maybe a dumb question: Does the patched Rom actually work on a DSi?

Make sure your ROM hasn't been trimmed, it should be the full 16MB. The MD5 checksum should be 867b3d17ad268e10357c9754a77147e5
Redownloaded it.
Checked the MD5: Correct.
Started xdeltaUI.exe as admin.
Patched the Rom succesfully. Size of patched file: 16,9 MB (17.724.382 Bytes)
Run it on my Supercard DS One i with: SDspeed 3x, Clean Mode, Cheats OFF, MultiSaver: 0, MenuSaver: 512K, GameSaver: 64K, Bypass Anti-Piracy: ON | DSI Menu Language: German - WHITE SCREENS
I i launch it in Patch Mode, the rom won't even load (stuck at Supercard loading screen). If i turn Anti-Piracy to OFF, also: WITHE SCREENS.
Any suggestions?

Wait a minute... I'm vaguely recalling that certain hacks (like New Retro Mario Bros maybe?) had trouble running on the Supercard ONEi. You may just be out of luck.
I've decided that I'm not going to try and make full replacements for the all 8 remaining original SM64DS main levels, it'll just be:
- Delfino Plaza as the hub
- the 7 other Sunshine levels replacing 7 of the originals
- a secret level for each of the seven SMS levels
- custom replacements for most/all? of the Castle Secret Star levels
- custom Bowser level replacements
I just don't have the time to try and come up with 8 new levels that are of good enough quality and I want to get this hack released soon, I've been working on it nearly 1.5 years with little progress since November, mostly because of the editor taking priority during that time. There've been a lot of big improvements to the editor recently such exporting rigged and animated (and any) model using COLLADA with support for importing rigged COLLADA models and partial support for importing animated models (basic ones working, I'm still working on this), also improvements to the KCL editor and lots of important bug fixes. (Details on editor development on kuribo64.net).
Also, I originally thought that going back over the levels I've done and improving their quality with vertex colours would take weeks and weeks but I discovered Blender has a very handy feature 'Dirty Vertex Colours' that'll apply shadows (basically) to your model as vertex colours in a few minutes. There's some manual tweaking that needs done but by next week the existing level models should be totally done with their quality vastly improved, adding the proper vertex colours really makes a huge difference.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
