Background Scrolling Data Info

TODO:
- Verify info for BG start position nybble — 0x2 and 0x3 in particular.
- How specifically do "Disable vertical scrolling" and "Automatic horizontal scrolling" work? What all do bytes 13 and 16 do?
- Might be nice to list which BG speeds and such are all used.

Foregrounds and backgrounds scroll differently in many levels — sometimes they have a fast speed ratio and sometimes they can be completely static. This can be adjusted by hex editing your level.

NSMBe screenshot of the level hex editor open to block 5. The leftmost nybbles of byte 11 and 13 are labeled as "BG starting position" while the rightmost nybbles are labeled as "Speed".

And for each byte:

Start position and loop data

Any value higher than 0x5 freezes the game.

Disabling vertical scrolling

(Source: MeroMero)

Automatic horizontal scrolling

Works for any background that already has parallax scrolling. This can be achieved by putting a value of 0x10 for byte 16 and it will scroll the whole background instead of only some of it.
(Note: if byte 13 value is somewhere between 0x40 and 0x4F, this effect will be overridden and instead the vertical scrolling will be disabled).

General Info

Camera

The Camera in New Super Mario Bros is controlled in several ways. You have to take into account that the camera movements will condition the gameplay.

1. How the Camera restricts Mario

The camera restricts Mario's movements in two ways:

• Mario cannot go out of the camera view through the sides.
This means that if the camera doesn't pan further, Mario can't either. The camera sides act like walls (but you can't wall jump into them)
• Mario cannot go to the bottom of the camera.
If he does so, he will die. Note that there is some margin, so you can place something like a Warp to Level some blocks below the camera view. Mario will get it before he dies.

Mario does can go out from the top of the camera. Simply the camera will not pan there, so Mario will be out of the screen.

2. Views

The camera will NEVER get out of the view. That means Mario can't get out of the view by the sides or the bottom.

3. Panning blocks

This thing is a little bit confusing. An area (not each view) is divided in blocks of 16x16 tiles (256x256 pixels). The camera will not pan into blocks that are empty (don't contain any objects).

An example (thanks to Garmichael):
Look at this level:

Panfree.png

Notice that blocks A and F are empty. Mario cannot get to A from B, but he can actually jump from D to B. While he is in A, the camera will not move, but as soon as he crosses into B, the camera will jump to that location and that boundary would act like a wall. From there, As Mario approaches C, he will be able to see some of F, but as soon as he crosses into C, the camera will reposition so that the border to F is the bottom of the screen. If Mario jumps down into F, he dies (even though the block under F has ground).

4. Scroll Control and Scroll Stop sprites

These sprites control the camera in more ways. How they work is generally unknown, except for:
• Vertical scroll controls: [sprite:198] and [sprite:199]
• Horizontal scroll stop: [sprite:276]

5. Header Blocks

Block 2, Block 4, and Block 5 control more settings of the camera. Look at the List of Header Blocks page for more info.

6. Camera X & Y

The entrance's settings include two boxes named "Camera X" and "Camera Y", usually you can leave their values as 0, but sometimes you need to put values in there:

Camera example 1.png

The zone and door entrance don't actually have any purpose in-game but to showcase the coordinates.
The zone delimits what you can see on the NDS screen.
If at least one of the Camera values is different from 0, then the tile at said coordinates will calibrate the camera and will serve as the top-left tile of said camera.
You usually use them when sprites 198-199 and/or 276 are in the way, or eventually to calibrate the bottom of the camera to the bottom of the zone.
The purpose of this is to show a nice transition when you change areas.

With the example earlier if both values were at 0, this is where the camera would spawn by default:

Camera example 2.png

The camera is 1 tile higher than the bottom of the zone, but the biggest offender here is the sprite 276, it is only acknowledged when the player have control of Mario thus only when Mario completely exits the pipe, the camera would recognize sprite 276 and then scroll to the left at high speeds, which results in an ugly transition and you can bet this is a rookie mistake to leave that kind of camera error unchecked.

General Info

Connected Pipes

Each end of the pipe needs an Entrance. Both must have the same connected pipe ID.
Set area 0 in one end and area 1 in the other end.

Make a Path with the same ID as the entrance's "Connected Pipe ID".
Each node on the path must be placed and "Value 6" in the node numbered as below:

Image of how to place the node in each pipe with its value:

Connected pipes.png

If value 6 does not show up for you, then try using the original NSMBe.

The path must be connected from one end of the pipe to the other; this is just to show the placement.
You can place more nodes on the path if you need, only the first and last need the above value 6 number.
World 7-A area 2 is good for more information.

Example shapes:
Reverse L

Setting a pipe as "exit only" also works, and is used in retail (eg 7-A).

General Info

Entrances

1. Entrance Guide

Click the Door icon at the top to edit entrances.

 Settings

• *Camera X:**

• *Camera Y:**

• *Entrance ID:** The ID associated with the entrance.

• *Destination ID:** The number of the area the pipe goes to. If not changing area, set to 0.

• *Destination Entrance:** The ID of the entrance it goes to.

• *Connected Pipe ID:** The ID of the path that makes up the pipe. Remember to check "Connected Pipe".

• *View:** The ID of the view the entrance is currently in. Not the destination view.


• *Exit Only:** Check this if you don't want the player to be able to enter, I.E. a one-way pipe.

• *<entrancesetting16>:** Not sure what it does.

• *Connected Pipe:** Check this if you're using a connected pipe. (Such as 7-A)

• *Display on Lower Screen:** Displays the view on the lower screen that the entrance is currently in.

 Warp Pipe

Warp pipes are the way Mario gets around to different Views or Areas.

 Simple Warp Pipe

First off, build a warp pipe using blocks. For this, I'll be using a upwards warp pipe, (object type 102)

• Place the warp pipe, make sure it's vertical. (And make sure it extends into the ground or is at least 3 blocks high.)
• Click the door icon, and add an entrance.
• Using shift+dragging, place it onto the top left part of the warp pipe.
• Click the drop down menu on the left side, select "Pipe facing Up." Set the View that it's in.
• (Note the Entrance ID if you plan to make it both ways.)
• Now go build another warp pipe somewhere else, make it horizontal this time.. (Either in the same Area or not.)
• Add an entrance, move it with shift+dragging, and place it at the top of the end.
• Set the entrance to "Pipe Facing Right."
• Check "Exit-Only." If it's in a different View, be sure to set the View it's in.
• Note it's Entrance ID, and select the first warp pipe entrance you created.
• Set the "Destination Area" to whatever area the second warp pipe is in (if you created it in another area) and set the Destination ID to the Entrance ID of the second warp pipe entrance.
• Save, and test it. It should work.


• *Troubleshooting:**
If you appear at the start of the level or in another spot not intended, check the "Destination ID".

If your camera appears somewhere without Mario, and then you die, check that the destination entrance has the View set correctly.

 Connected Warp Pipe

For this, I'm gonna go ahead and make a pipe that goes up then a turn to the left. (Use Shift+dragging on a block to change length and height.) Use object 59 for a good looking turn.

Set that up, and add the entrances. You don't have to set a Destination ID.

• First, click the first path icon.
• Add a path, and set it up so the first square (0) is down 2 squares, and right 1 square from the leftmost entrance.
• Next, use Control+dragging to make two more squares, one at the top of the bottommost pipe, one to the bottom left of the entrance.
• Set up the paths with this trick.

Unknown 6:
0=Pipe facing down
1=Pipe facing right
2=Pipe facing up
3=Pipe facing left

In my pipe,
square 0 is //Unknown 6: 3//
square 2 is //Unknown 6: 0//

• Now select each entrance, check "Connected Pipe", and set the Connected Pipe ID to the Path ID of the paths you just set up (IE. 0)
• For the entrance closest to the end of the path, set "Destination Area" to 1.
• Save and Play.

• *Troubleshooting**
If you enter the pipe, and a transition appears, check "connected pipe" on both entrances.

If you enter the pipe, then come back out immediately, doublecheck that the entrance closest to the end of the path has "Destination Area" set to 1, and that the "Connected Pipe ID" is correctly set.

Glossary

TODO: Currently sorted alphabetically — would something else work better?
Things that probably also should be here:
- Area
- View
- Zone
- Chunk
- Entrance

This page briefly defines some of the jargon you may encounter while modding New Super Mario Bros.; this will generally not cover more broadly-used terms such as tilemap, palette, archive, and so forth.

Code patch: A piece of code which is compiled then inserted into the game. Also referred to as a code hack, code mod, or ASM hack (though the latter is considered a misnomer and usage of it is proscribed — it is listed here only for posterity).

Control byte: A byte that controls how a map16 tile tiles in a tile object.

Map16: The tilemap for tilesets.

Map16 tile: A 16x16 tile composed of four 8x8 tiles. These can have tile behaviors set for them and are used in tile objects. May also be simply referred to as a tile.

Object: Can refer to both an actor that may exist in a stage (e.g., a bullet bill) or a tile object. The former is more common and may be also referred to as an actor.

Object bank: A set of objects that are set to load and can thusly be used in an area. Also referred to as a sprite set (proscribed).

Object ID: The ID of an object. Distinct from stage object ID. Also refered to as class ID (proscribed).

Object settings: A data field containing information about an object's settings and events it's connected to. Also referred to as a sprite data (proscribed).

Randomization: The property of a tileset to effectively randomly shuffle a certain set of map16 tiles in game to add visual variety.

Slope control tile: A tile with a control byte of 80 or over used to control how map16 tiles tile in a tile object. Mainly used in tile objects for slopes.

Stage object: An object that can be placed in a stage (e.g., a goomba). Also refered to as a stage actor or sprite (the latter being proscribed). Also may be truncated to object or sprite colliqually.

Stage object ID: The ID of an object that can be placed in a stage. Also refered to as stage actor ID or sprite ID (the latter being proscribed).

Tile behavior: How a map16 tile is meant to behave in a level when the player interacts with it. Also referred to as tile type.

Tile object: A unit of map16 tiles that can be placed in a level and are set to tile in a specific fashion. NSMBe refers to these simply as objects.

3D tile: A map16 tile which draws a texture instead of (or, in special cases, over) the 8x8 tiles present on the map16.

*MvsL themes and World Map themes: Loading the MvsL themes or the World map themes in a regular level (by changing the music in the View Settings for example) will play the music, but most sound effects will be muted while the music is playing (this is because they use sound banks that are too big for the game, overloading the audio memory).

Additional note: Any song with an id above 6F will not play, regardless of if there is song data associated with it or not (by editing the sound_data.sdat file)

Mario vs Luigi

This page documents how to play MvsL hacks and objects that work in MvsL.

Modding MvsL is significantly more difficult than modding Singleplayer levels. If you're just getting started with modding the game, you might want to start here

Modding Tutorials

Modding 101 - Creating a Bare-Bones Level

Welcome to the world of New Super Mario Bros. DS modding. Making your first level is the first step every modder takes when starting from scratch.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to:

Section 1: Getting Ready

To edit the game, you'll need a copy of your New Super Mario Bros. DS ROM and the New Super Mario Bros. Editor (NSMBe).

We are not allowed to give a download to the ROM. If you have a 3DS, here is a guide that lets you dump your game cartridge ROM using a modded 3DS.

For the best compatibility for more complex tasks, you will need a US region ROM.

Head over to GitHub to download the latest version of NSMBe from the Mamamia Team. When you click the link, you will be taken to a page that looks like this:

image.png

Just click on NSMBeX.X.X.zip to download the editor. (The X's will match with whatever version the editor is on. As of writing this version is 5.4.1, as seen in the screenshot)

Now, in your downloads folder, you need to extract the zip file. On Windows, this is done by right-clicking the .zip and clicking Extract All... Just click extract on the window that appears. You should now have a folder in your Downloads folder named NSMBeX.X.X.

The final folder will look something like this:

image.png

You have now installed the necessary tools to begin modding

Section 2: Opening Your ROM

Now that you have the editor extracted, let's open up your ROM!

Inside of the NSMBeX.X.X folder, open the app named NSMBe5.exe. You should see a window that looks something like this:

image.png

Now, click on Open ROM... and open your dumped ROM of New Super Mario Bros. DS

The ROM will have an extension of .nds

You should now see this:

image.png

You have now opened your ROM in the editor

Section 3: Opening a Level

Now for the fun part, editing a level!

To start, we will open 1-1, Area 1. To do this, open the World 1 drop down, open the 1-1 dropdown, and finally double click on Area 1.

Each level in the game has a various number of Areas. Nintendo used these as a way to keep each sub-area separated. For example, Area 1 of 1-1 is where you start the level, and Area 2 is the bonus room found in Area 1.

image.png

You will now be presented with the level view:

image.png

If the level view appears too small, you may need to modify the config file. To do this: open the file named "NSMBe5.exe.config" using Notepad, delete the lines:   <System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>                                                                                                       <add key="DpiAwareness" value="PerMonitorV2"/></System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>                                                                                           After deleting the lines, save the file, restart the editor, and open Area 1 again.

You have now opened a level from your ROM

Section 4: Creating a Bare-Bones Level

It is best practice to start from a blank level, so let's clear out the existing level by pressing Ctrl+A to select everything in the level, followed by clicking the image.pngat the top of the editor window. Your blank level will look like this:

image.png

Now that we have a blank level, what do we need to add back? 

All levels in NSMB DS must at minimum have a Start Entrance and at least one main View. With that being said, let's add them back!

To begin, we will add the main view. To do this, click on image.png in the sub-menu bar. This will show a list of all the views in the level (or it would if we didn't just delete everything in the level). To create a view, all we need to do is click on Add. Your level will now have a transparent box:

image.png

You'll notice a bunch of settings here. For now, the only thing you need to worry about is checking Scroll vertically. This allows the in-game camera to follow Mario up and down inside of your level.

The View defines the bounds of your level. The camera is not allowed to go outside of the current view. Mario can go above the view, however the camera will not follow him. The sides of a view will stop Mario. Mario will die if he falls below the bottom of the view.

Click and drag the small box that says View 0 and move the View to the top left of the level. While we're moving the view, go ahead and grab the bottom right box and extend the view to be one square big. You're level should look like this now:

image.png

Now, let's create the Start Entrance. Click on the image.png button in the sub-menu. Similarly to the views button, this will give a list of every Entrance that is in this level. Go ahead and click on Add to create a new Entrance.

image.png

Once again, there are a few settings on the entrance that you can play with but for now let's just move the entrance inside of our View.

image.png

There we go! We have what's at minimum required. However...if we were to play this level now, Mario would just fall down and die. Let's add a floor and the Goal Pole's Flag to this level!

To get to the Tile picker, click on the image.png button (and also click on Tileset 1 if it is not already selected). Your side bar should now be filled with Tiles!

image.png

Go ahead and pick the tile I have selected (highlighted in red in the screenshot), then right-click to place the tile in our view. After this, you can grab the corner of the tile and stretch it out across the view. 

image.png

Not bad! Now, let's make a Goal Pole for Mario to clear the level with.

First off, click on the image.png button in the sub menu to bring up the Actor List.

image.png

This is every Actor in the game. You'll become familiar with more Actors as you begin making levels. For now, enter "Goal Pole's Flag" into the search box. This will now filter out all other Actors.

image.png

Click on the Actor in the list, then right click in the level like you did for the tile. This will add the Goal Pole's Flag into the level.

image.png

On the left, you'll notice that some options for the Goal Pole's Flag has appeared. All Actors will have an options menu appear for them when they are highlighted in the level.

All that's left to do now is finish tiling the Goal Pole.

Test your knowledge! The Goal Pole tiles are located in Tileset 0, try and build the flag like the next screenshot! Here's a tip, the Goal Pole is 9 tiles high and two tiles wide. 

image.pngWith the flag created, we now need to build the castle. To begin, head over to Tileset 2 and click on the castle. Now, right click to place the castle and drag it to create the castle. Your level will look like this now:

image.png

We're almost done. The castle in this game is composed of three tiles: the castle we just created, the wall that will stop Mario, and the roof that allows the small flag to show up after you cleared the level. Select the wall from the tile picker:

image.pngDrag this wall over the castle you created.

image.pngLastly, drag the roof tile over the castle like you just did for the wall

image.png

You have now created a bare-bones level

You can now save your level using the save icon or by pressing Ctrl+S.

Setting up NSMBe5 on Linux

If you are considering swapping to Linux (or are already using Linux), modding NSMB DS is still perfectly doable! NSMBe just needs a little bit of setup before you can begin opening levels. After this tutorial, you'll be up and running with NSMBe on your favorite Linux distro.

Requirements:

While not needed, having administrator permission (sudo) is helpful for troubleshooting

Step 1: Installing PortProton

Method 1: Via Flathub (recommended)

Follow the Flathub setup guide. Then, install the app by opening a terminal and typing:

flatpak install flathub ru.linux_gaming.PortProton

If it doesn't work or you need admin rights, check the second method.

Method 2: Manual installation

Go to flathub.org/apps/ru.linux_gaming.PortProton and hit “download”. This will download a .flatpakref file.

The file should appear in your Downloads folder. If your browser asks you where it should save it, choose a location that you will remember.

Capture d’écran du 2025-03-23 12-42-49.png

Go to the file's location, right-click an empty space, and select "Open in a terminal". From there, type the following command:

flatpak install ru.linux_gaming.PortProton.flatpakref

If it doesn't work because admin rights are needed, try the following command instead:

flatpak install --user ru.linux_gaming.PortProton.flatpakref

If this method still doesn't work, ask us in NSMB Central.

Congratulations! You're now ready to open NSMBe!

Step 2: Installing NSMB Editor

PortProton might download some files before starting the first time you launch it. That's normal.

Go to your NSMBe5 folder. Open NSMBe5.exe by double-clicking on it. You should see a window like this:

Copie d'écran_20250330_212505.png

Make sure to change the prefix to "DOTNET"

If you want to add a shortcut to your app menu, click on "Create shortcut". It will ask you where to put it:

Copie d'écran_20250330_212530.png

Once it's done, click "create shortcut".

Now, to launch the app, just have to click on the "Launch" button, and there you go!

Capture d’écran du 2025-03-23 12-51-25.png

Congratulations! Now, you are ready to make awesome stuff with Linux!

FAQ / Troubleshooting

Some actors appear weirdly, how can I fix it?

When opening a level in the level editor, some elements may seem scaled incorrectly:

Fractionnal scaling issue.png

This is because your computer is using fractional scaling. This zooms your screen, but not all elements in the app. To fix that, go into your display settings and select 100% or 200%:

No better solution has been found yet. If you have one, please tell @rph_nsmb on the NSMB Central server.

It takes a while to navigate with the file explorer. Can't I add a shortcut?

Of course you can! First, you will need to go to the parent folder of the one you want to make a shortcut (for example, I want to add /home/rph/Documents/Template, I'll go to /home/rph/Documents). Right-click on the folder you want to make a shortcut and select "create link". You should see something like this:

Link.png

If you don't see the "Create shortcut" option, take a look at the file explorer's menus or check its settings.

 Right-click on the link and select "cut".

Now, you will need to go to your PortProton setting folder. To do so, go to your home folder and go to PortProton/prefixes/DOTNET/dosdevices. Now paste your linked folder and rename it to a lowercase letter followed by a colon, for example: n:.

Now, if you open the file explorer, you should see your drive in "Computer":

Congratulations! You have your shortcut.

Custom Actors

Sometimes the base game doesn't offer exactly what you need for your level. That's when you should turn to custom actors!

This guide provides a basic overview of how to create custom actors. A decent understanding of C++ along with some prior NSMB code modding knowledge are recommended for this tutorial.

Section 1 - The Boiler Plate

This is code you will be writing basically every time you go to create a custom actor. It is standard practice to split your actor into two files myActor.cpp and myActor.hpp

myActor.cpp

#include "nsmb.hpp"
#include "myActor.hpp"

ncp_over(0x020c560c, 0) const ObjectInfo objectInfo = MyActor::objectInfo; //Stage Object ID 44 (use this in the editor)
ncp_over(0x02039a34) static constexpr const ActorProfile* profile = &MyActor::profile; //objectID 46

s32 MyActor::onCreate(){
	return true;
}

bool MyActor::loadResources() {
    return true;
}

s32 MyActor::onDestroy(){
	return true;
}

s32 MyActor::onRender(){
	return true;
}

bool MyActor::updateMain(){
	return true;
}

This file is where you program your actor.

At the beginning of the file is where you define:

 Here's an overview of what these functions are usually used for:

Function Purpose
onCreate()
 This function is ran when your actor is first created. This function is used for initalizing variables and anything that should be done once.
loadResources()

This function is called when the game is setting up your actor.

[Todo]: Find the normal use case for this function.
onDestroy()
 This function is called when your Actor is being removed from the stage. This function is used for cleaning up after the actor (i.e. freeing resources).
onRender()
 This function is called every game tick while your actor is in view of the camera. This is typically used for graphics related code (for example, changing what texture an NSBTX is currently drawing).
updateMain()
 This function is called every game tick while your actor is loaded. This function is used for the main functionality of your code (i.e. calculating positions, updating variables, etc). 

TODO: Expand this table with more functions you can override in a StageEntity

myActor.hpp

#pragma once

#include "nsmb.hpp"

class MyActor: public StageEntity {
public:
    virtual s32 onCreate() override;

    static bool loadResources();

    virtual bool updateMain() override;
  
    virtual s32 onRender() override;

    virtual s32 onDestroy() override;

    static constexpr u16 objectID = 46;

    static constexpr ObjectInfo objectInfo = {
        0, 0,
        0, 0,
        0, 0,
        0, 0,
        CollisionSwitch::None,
    };

    static constexpr u16 updatePriority = objectID;
    static constexpr u16 renderPriority = objectID;
    static constexpr ActorProfile profile = {&constructObject<MyActor>, updatePriority, renderPriority, loadResources};
};

This file is where you store your instance variables and declare your functions.

Section 2 - State Machines

While not all Actors need to have a state machine, it can often times greatly improve the readability and reliability of your code (state machines are also a strategy Nintendo used when writing actors for the game). 

Defining the State Machine

In your .hpp, you need to add the following:

class MyActor: public StageEntity {
    /* ... */
  
    // Functions for the state machine. Add more as needed.
    void exampleState();
    void anotherExampleState();

    void (*updateFunc)(MyActor*);
	s8 updateStep;

    void switchState(void (MyActor::*updateFunc)());

    /* ... */
}

In your .cpp, here's what you need:

s32 MyActor::onCreate(){
  /* ... */

  // Initalize the current state
  switchState(&MyActor::exampleState);

  /* ... */
}

bool MyActor::updateMain(){
	/* ... */
  
    // Make sure to call the update function every tick
	updateFunc(this);
  
	/* ... */
}

bool MyActor::exampleState(){
    if (updateStep == Func::Init) {
        updateStep++;
        return;
    }

    if (updateStep == Func::Exit) {
        return;
    }
}

bool MyActor::anotherExampleState(){
    if (updateStep == Func::Init) {
        updateStep++;
        return;
    }

    if (updateStep == Func::Exit) {
        return;
    }
}

void MyActor::switchState(void (MyActor::*updateFunc)()) {
	auto updateFuncRaw = ptmf_cast(updateFunc);

	if (this->updateFunc != updateFuncRaw) {
		if (this->updateFunc) {
			this->updateStep = Func::Exit;
			this->updateFunc(this);
		}

		this->updateFunc = updateFuncRaw;

		this->updateStep = Func::Init;
		this->updateFunc(this);
	}
}

Using the State Machine

While the code may look intimidating, state machines are very intuitive once you start working with them. 

Function/Variable Purpose
updateStep

This variable keeps track of what update step the current state is in.

 

1 (or Func::Init) is used for when a state function is entered for the first time. Useful for setting variables related to the current state.

 

-1 (or Func::Exit) is used for when a state function is being exited. Used for cleaning up any state specific code before the code changes to the next state.

 

All other update step values can be used inside a step to create "sub steps" via conditional code.
switchState()
 This function will swap the current state to the function passed as a parameter. Call this function when you want to change what state you are in.

Porting old patch syntax to NCPatcher

This page will help you understand how you can port any patching syntax to NCPatcher's.

You are searching through NSMBHD or NSMB Central and you find a shiny code patch, you rush and put it in the source folder of your project only to find that a code patch is not compatible with your code! That sucks.

So what can we do? For this example NSMB E3 Recreation's PlayerAnims.cpp code patch will be used.

Step 1 - Investigation

Let's start by taking a look at PlayerAnims.cpp.

#include <nsmb.hpp>
#include <nsmb/extra/fixedpoint.hpp>

#define NAKED __attribute__((naked))

// Slow down rotation speed
NAKED void repl_02114DFC_ov_0A() { asm("MOV R5, #0xC00\nBX LR"); }

// Walking transition delay
void repl_0211667C_ov_0A() {}

void repl_02116698_ov_0A(Player* player, int id, bool doBlend, Player::FrameMode frameMode, fx32 speed, u16 frame) {
	// 3.75fx (0x3C00) is the max walk animation speed
	if (speed > (3.75fx / 2)) {
		speed = (3.75fx / 2);
	}

	if (player->animID == 2) {
		player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
	} else {
		if (player->animID == 1) {
			fx32 xvel = Math::abs(player->velocity.x);
			if (xvel >= 1.5fx) {
				player->setAnimation(2, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
			} else {
				player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
			}
		} else {
			player->setAnimation(1, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
		}
	}
}

// Force jump on anim 1
NAKED void nsub_02116A14_ov_0A() { asm("CMP R0, #1\nB 0x02116A18"); }

// Use anim 1
NAKED void repl_02116A2C_ov_0A() { asm("MOV R1, #1\nBX LR"); }

We must now wonder, what kind of a patch is this? Is this an NSMBe type patch or a Fireflower type patch?

By comparing common traits that each patcher uses we can guess what kind of patch type we are dealing with.

NSMBe type patches:

Fireflower type patches:

Did you guess correctly what kind of patch we are working with?

Click here to reveal the answer NSMBe

Step 2 - Porting

This is a fairly simple process. Here is a list that shows the different patch syntax between the patchers:

NSMBe Fireflower NCPatcher
hook safe ncp_hook
repl rlnk ncp_call
nsub hook ncp_jump
over ncp_over
ncp_repl

And here is an example comparing some of them:

// NSMBe
void hook_02000000() {} // doSomethingPatch
void repl_0200A000() {} // doUnspecifiedPatch
void repl_02010000_ov_0A() {} // doWhateverOverlayPatch
// over does not exist in NSMBe

// Fireflower
safe(0x02000000) void doSomethingPatch() {}
rlnk(0x0200A000) void doUnspecifiedPatch() {}
rlnk(0x02010000, 10) void doWhateverOverlayPatch() {}
over(0x02159348, 52) static int stupidVar = 0x0215CA6C;

// NCPatcher
ncp_hook(0x02000000) void doSomethingPatch() {}
ncp_call(0x0200A000) void doUnspecifiedPatch() {}
ncp_call(0x02010000, 10) void doWhateverOverlayPatch() {}
ncp_over(0x02159348, 52) static int stupidVar = 0x0215CA6C;

These addresses are ficticious and purely for demonstration!

An important thing to remember is that all values in NSMBe patches are always written in hexadecimal without 0x prepended to them. In NCPatcher if you want to specify an hexadecimal value you need to prepend 0x, otherwise the value will be interpreted as a decimal value!

Let's go back to PlayerAnims.cpp and try to apply these changes.

#include <nsmb.hpp>
#include <nsmb/extra/fixedpoint.hpp>

#define NAKED __attribute__((naked))

NAKED ncp_call(0x02114DFC, 10)
void slowDownRotationSpeed() { asm("MOV R5, #0xC00\nBX LR"); }

// Walking transition delay
ncp_call(0x0211667C, 10) void doNotJumpOnAnim2() {}

ncp_call(0x02116698, 10)
void customPlayerAnimator(Player* player, int id, bool doBlend, Player::FrameMode frameMode, fx32 speed, u16 frame) {
	// 3.75fx (0x3C00) is the max walk animation speed
	if (speed > (3.75fx / 2)) {
		speed = (3.75fx / 2);
	}

	if (player->animID == 2) {
		player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
	} else {
		if (player->animID == 1) {
			fx32 xvel = Math::abs(player->velocity.x);
			if (xvel >= 1.5fx) {
				player->setAnimation(2, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
			} else {
				player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
			}
		} else {
			player->setAnimation(1, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
		}
	}
}

NAKED ncp_jump(0x02116A14, 10)
void forceJumpOnAnim1() { asm("CMP R0, #1\nB 0x02116A18"); }

NAKED ncp_call(0x02116A2C, 10) 
void useAnim1() { asm("MOV R1, #1\nBX LR"); }

The code should now compile!

If your code still doesn't work because it complains about some functions not being defined or not existing then you might want to check this out as well: Porting old patches to the NSMB Code Reference

What if the patch was an assembly .s file instead of C .c or C++ .cpp? The process is the same.

hook_....:
    BX LR

Becomes

ncp_hook(...)
    BX LR

Step 4 - Tidying up

Even though the code should now be able to execute, it is still not in its optimal state. This part is slightly more complicated because it requires understanding the code.

NCPatcher includes its own definition of __attribute__((naked)) which is ncp_asmfunc so we remove that macro definition and use ncp_asmfunc instead.

#include <nsmb.hpp>
#include <nsmb/extra/fixedpoint.hpp>

ncp_asmfunc ncp_call(0x02114DFC, 10)
void slowDownRotationSpeed() { asm("MOV R5, #0xC00\nBX LR"); }

// Walking transition delay
ncp_call(0x0211667C, 10) void doNotJumpOnAnim2() {}

ncp_call(0x02116698, 10)
void customPlayerAnimator(Player* player, int id, bool doBlend, Player::FrameMode frameMode, fx32 speed, u16 frame) {
	// 3.75fx (0x3C00) is the max walk animation speed
	if (speed > (3.75fx / 2)) {
		speed = (3.75fx / 2);
	}

	if (player->animID == 2) {
		player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
	} else {
		if (player->animID == 1) {
			fx32 xvel = Math::abs(player->velocity.x);
			if (xvel >= 1.5fx) {
				player->setAnimation(2, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
			} else {
				player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
			}
		} else {
			player->setAnimation(1, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
		}
	}
}

ncp_asmfunc ncp_jump(0x02116A14, 10)
void forceJumpOnAnim1() { asm("CMP R0, #1\nB 0x02116A18"); }

ncp_asmfunc ncp_call(0x02116A2C, 10) 
void useAnim1() { asm("MOV R1, #1\nBX LR"); }

Now, take a look at the original purpose of repl_0211667C_ov_0A (now named doNotJumpOnAnim2) and the code it targeted.

ov10:02116678   CMP R0, #2
ov10:0211667C   BEQ 0x021166A0
ov10:02116680   MOV R0, R5

We can see that what we are doing is the following:

ov10:02116678    CMP R0, #2
ov10:0211667C    BL  repl_0211667C_ov_0A
ov10:02116680    MOV R0, R5
//...
repl_0211667C_ov_0A:
    BX LR // return generated by the compiler

Essentially we are just making it so BEQ 0x021166A0 will never jump to 0x021166A0, but we are not doing this efficiently because we jump from 0x0211667C to repl_0211667C_ov_0A and then back to 0x02116680 instead of just continuing. This wastes memory and CPU cycles, but it was the only way of doing so in NSMBe. Instead we can write it like ncp_repl(0x0211667C, 10, "NOP") in NCPatcher, making the instruction do nothing and just skip to the next one without using any more memory.

ov10:02116678    CMP R0, #2
ov10:0211667C    NOP        // Skips to the next instruction
ov10:02116680    MOV R0, R5

After evaluating all theses different cases, our optimal code should look like this:

#include <nsmb.hpp>
#include <nsmb/extra/fixedpoint.hpp>

// Slow down rotation speed
ncp_repl(0x02114DFC, 10, "MOV R5, #0xC00")

// Walking transition delay
ncp_repl(0x0211667C, 10, "NOP")

ncp_call(0x02116698, 10)
void customPlayerAnimator(Player* player, int id, bool doBlend, Player::FrameMode frameMode, fx32 speed, u16 frame) {
	// 3.75fx (0x3C00) is the max walk animation speed
	if (speed > (3.75fx / 2)) {
		speed = (3.75fx / 2);
	}

	if (player->animID == 2) {
		player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
	} else {
		if (player->animID == 1) {
			fx32 xvel = Math::abs(player->velocity.x);
			if (xvel >= 1.5fx) {
				player->setAnimation(2, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
			} else {
				player->setBodyAnimationSpeed(speed);
			}
		} else {
			player->setAnimation(1, doBlend, frameMode, speed, frame);
		}
	}
}

// Force jump on anim 1
ncp_repl(0x02116A14, 10, "CMP R0, #1")

// Use anim 1
ncp_repl(0x02116A2C, 10, "MOV R1, #1")

Setting Up Code Modifications

So, you're ready to dive into the code of the game? Let's get started!

In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

This guide will cover the "NCPatcher Standalone" method described in the code template as the steps are more synchronized between all operating systems.

Setting Up the Code Template

  1. Head over to the code template's GitHub
  2. Click on Code -> Download ZIP
  3. Now extract this zip and rename the folder to what you want to call your project (this will be referred to as your project root)

  4. Don't put any spaces in your folder name!

You have now set up the code template

Setting up ARM GCC
  1. Head to the Arm GNU Toolchain Download Page
  2. Now search (using CTRL/CMD + F) for AArch32 bare-metal target (arm-none-eabi) and download the correct installer for your operating system.
  3. Open the installer and install the toolchain.

  4. Pick a location without spaces to install the toolchain!

You have now set up ARM GCC

Setting Up NCPatcher

  1. Head over to the NCPatcher GitHub releases page
  2. Download the latest release for your operating system
  3. Extract NCPatcher

Now, NCPatcher depends on ncpatcher.json, so lets make it!

If you'd like to learn more about this file, head over to the NCPatcher GitHub!

In your project root, create the following files:

{
  "$arm_flags": "-masm-syntax-unified -mno-unaligned-access -mfloat-abi=soft -mabi=aapcs",
  "$c_flags": "-Os -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fno-builtin -nostdlib -nodefaultlibs -nostartfiles -DSDK_GCC -DSDK_FINALROM",
  "$cpp_flags": "-fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -std=c++20",
  "$asm_flags": "-Os -x assembler-with-cpp -fomit-frame-pointer",
  "$ld_flags": "-lgcc -lc -lstdc++ --use-blx",
  
  "backup": "backup",
  "filesystem": "nsmb",
  "toolchain": "arm-none-eabi-",
  
  "arm7": {},
  "arm9": {
  "target": "arm9.json",
  "build": "build"
  },
  
  "pre-build": [],
  "post-build": [],
  
  "thread-count": 0
}

You have now set up NCPatcher

Extracting, Building, and Repackaging Your ROM

If you're on Windows
  1. Download fireflower.zip and extract it.
  2. Move nds-build.exe and nds-extract.exe out from the folder
If you're on macOS/Linux
  1. Download nds-extract.zip
  2. Download nds-build.zip
  3. Extract both ZIPs

Now, you need to build the tools.

For NDS Extract:

  1. Open a new Terminal window in the folder of the code
  2. Run this command: g++ nds-extract.cpp -o nds-extract -std=c++20

For NDS Build:

  1. Open a new Terminal window in the folder of the code
  2. Run this command: g++ nds-build.cpp -o nds-build -std=c++20

From here on, the instructions will work for all operating systems. If you are on Windows 10, you can use Command Prompt instead of Terminal

Extracting Your ROM
  1. Open a Terminal window in your project root
  2. Run this command: /path/to/nds-extract rom.nds nsmb

Replace /path/to/ with the actual file path to nds-extract. Also replace "rom" with the actual name of your .nds file

This will extract the contents of your ROM into a folder named nsmb

You have extracted your ROM

Building Your ROM

This step will compile and patch your ROM with any code files found in the source directory in your project root. The Code Template comes with a few examples included in the source directory.

  1. Open a Terminal window in your project root
  2. Run this command: /path/to/ncpatcher

Replace /path/to/ with the actual file path to ncpatcher

You have built your ROM

Repackaging Your ROM

nds-extract depends on buildrules.txt, so let's create it!

rom_header NSNDY/header.bin
arm9_entry KEEP
arm9_load KEEP
arm7_entry KEEP
arm7_load KEEP
fnt nsmb/fnt.bin
file_mode ADJUST
arm9 nsmb/arm9.bin
arm7 nsmb/arm7.bin
arm9ovt nsmb/arm9ovt.bin
arm7ovt nsmb/arm7ovt.bin
icon nsmb/banner.bin
rsa_sig nsmb/rsasig.bin
data nsmb/root
ovt_repl_flag 0xFF
ov9 nsmb/overlay9
ov7 nsmb/overlay7

This step will take the files form the nsmb folder and repackage them into a .nds file

  1. Open a Terminal window in your project root
  2. Run this command: /path/to/nds-build buildrules.txt NSMB.nds

Replace /path/to/ with the actual file path to nds-build.

You have repackaged your ROM

Using GDB with Ghidra and melonDS

What you'll need:

Configuring melonDS

To enable the GDB, you need to do the following:

  1. Click on the Config menu at the top of the emulator, then click on Emu Settings
  2. Click on the Devtools tab
  3. Check Enable GDB stub

  4. If you do not see the Devtools tab, then you have not built melonDS with GDB enabled. Please check the link at the start of the guide to find a download with GDB enabled or build it yourself enabling GDB in CMake

melonDS is ready to go!

Setting up Ghidra

To begin, open your Ghidra project in the code viewer as you normally would.

  1. Click on File -> Configure, which should open a list of tools
  2. Check the "Debugger" box

image.png

This should cause windows to appear in your current project, likely making the following steps redundant. If you are unable to find a window, the following steps will either open the window, or present it to you in the project.

Creating a Debugger Target

This method has been tested on Linux and macOS. You should be able to follow these steps using WSL on Windows. Follow this guide if you need help setting up WSL.

To begin, open the Debugger Targets window by navigating to Windows -> Debugger -> Debugger Targets.

The window should look something like this:

image.pngAs you'll notice, there is an active connection in the screenshot but nothing on your end...let's fix that!

Click on the image.png button to open the connect window.

If you are on Linux:
If you are on macOS
If you are on Windows

You have now created a Debugger Target

Connecting to melonDS

The gdb interpreter should have opened for you when you connected to the debugging target.

Now, in the interpreter menu, run the command target remote localhost:[ARM9 Port] (Where [ARM9 Port] is the ARM9 Port set in the Devtools tab.)

If melonDS pauses after running this command, GDB is now talking to melonDS

You have now connected Ghidra to melonDS 

Using Breakpoints

If you would like to set breakpoints, you'll need to use the Dynamic PC

  1. Open the Dynamic PC window by clicking Window -> Listing -> Dynamic - Auto PC, [...]

    1. If you do not see this option, you can alternatively open it via Window -> Debugger -> New Dynamic Listing

  2. Next, open the Modules window by clicking Window -> Debugger -> Modules
  3. Lastly, click on image.png in the Modules window.

Now, setting a breakpoint in your code view should set a breakpoint in the Dynamic PC

You have now set up Ghidra to debug melonDS. Happy coding!

Tools

The tools used to mod NSMB DS with a general overview of how to use them

Tools

Fire Flower

Fire Flower has been replaced by NCPatcher

Fire Flower is a patcher for Nintendo DS games. It works different to any other patchers and aims towards performance, user-friendliness and practicability.

Tools

NCPatcher

NCPatcher is a program that modifies the executable binaries of a Nintendo DS ROM.
It was created because of the need to have more flexible patching features that other patchers did not have.

Check out the documentation over at the NCPatcher GitHub.

A tutorial will be created on using this tool for NSMB DS specifically soon

Tools

NSMBe

TODO: Maybe a different screenshot?

Screenshot of NSMBe's level editor with 1-1 area 1 open in itNSMBe is a multipurpose modding tool for New Super Mario Bros., capable of editing levels, graphics, tilesets, and backgrounds.

The editor is currently maintained by Mamma Mia Team. You can download the latest release from GitHub.

Recognized NSMB ROMs

When a ROM is opened in NSMBe, it checks the ROM's game code to see which release of New Super Mario Bros. it is. The following releases are recognized by NSMBe:

If the ROM opened is not one of these versions (such as a kiosk demo ROM, or a ROM besides New Super Mario Bros.), NSMBe will not show the Level Listing, Tilesets, or Backgrounds tab.

Known Bugs

TODO:
- Does the "Data Finder" button throw an exception in the latest version?
- Can .nml files be imported over MvsL Download Play levels as of the latest version?
- Does 8-8 area 2 open properly as of the latest version?
- What is the last version the "Decompress overlay" button is known to work on? It's functional in v5.3 b6

Parallax Data Tables

TODO: Can we get more detailed information on how type 2 works specifically? Additionally, add source.

Vertical range is relative to the top of the background. Speed is relative to the background scroll speed the level is set to use, being either automatic scrolling in addition to the background speed (measured by pixels per frame — denoted "ppf") or as a percentage of the background scroll speed. Several types also do not have any parallax data and are not used in any capacity.

Enemy Palettes

The enemy palette is used by various in-level sprites. Like the jyotyu palette, the palette used will change depending on the bottom BG to better fit the level theme. All palettes, as well as the bitmaps of the sprites that use them, can be found in the /OBJ folder.

1. Enemy palettes

3. Important

When you click "import bitmap and recreate palette" on a file that uses the Jyotyu Palette, it will recreate the Jyotyu Palette, with new colours.

Other objects use the Jyotyu Palette, but they will not match up with the palette anymore, because it has been modified to match the Jyotyu tileset, so you have to open all the files that use the palette and the palette open at the same time, then click "import bitmap and recreate palette".
Or you can modify the Jyotyu Tileset with the built in editor which will not modify the Jyotyu Palette.

4. Jyotyu labels

The following picture shows which objects use which colors in the different Jyotyu Palettes:

jyotyulabels2.png

Credits to D.M. for the research and the image

Note: The palette colors will vary depending on the Jyotyu palette, but the objects will still use the same colors.

Tileset Information

TODO: Add more info for palette animations (such as which colours animate & info on slots 7 and 31) and tile animations (such as which tiles animate). Mention unused files? Unused 3D tile IDs? Double-check animation speed. Add info on how ghost house stairs work. Add info from here: https://nsmbhd.net/post/46490/

Tilesets contain the tiles used to build levels. Every area of a level can use three tilesets: the jyotyu tileset, the sub nohara tileset, and a choosable tileset (of which there are 76).
