New Super Mario Bros.
Information about modding NSMB DS

General Info
General information about the game that doesn't need more than one page to explain

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.
Bottom background --> Change block 3.
Top background --> Change block 5.
Byte 11: Control BG horizontal scrolling.
Byte 13: Control BG vertical scrolling.
And for each byte:
First Nybble: Controls where the background starts relative to the view and how it loops. This seemingly does nothing for horizontal looping or start position.
Second Nybble: Controls scroll speed relative to stage foreground speed.
(Image source: MarioSunshine)
Start position and loop data
0x0: Starts from bottom of view offset by 32px; loops entire background.
0x1: Starts from top of view offset by 32px; loops entire background.
0x2: Duplicate of 0x0?
0x3: Duplicate of 0x1?
0x4: Starts from bottom of view offset by 32px; loops top half of background.
0x5: Starts from top of view offset by 32px; loops bottom half of background.
Any value higher than 0x5 freezes the game.
Scroll speed data
Table address in overlay 0: 
0x0002F468 
Table address in memory: 
0x020C7B48
0x0: Same as FG speed. Used in w2-3 (sewer level) for example.
0x1: 50% FG speed.
0x2: 25% FG speed. Common for top backgrounds.
0x3: 12.5% FG speed. Common for bottom backgrounds.
0x4: 120% FG speed. Unused.
0x5: 75% FG speed.
0x6: 6.25% FG speed.
0x7: 9.375% FG speed.
0x8: 20.3125% FG speed.
0x9: Same as FG speed.
0xA: Same as FG speed.
0xB: Same as FG speed.
0xC: Same as FG speed.
0xD: 200% FG speed. Unused.
0xE: 400% FG speed. Unused.
0xF: 800% FG speed. Unused.

Disabling vertical scrolling
Bottom background --> Change both bytes 13 and 16 of block 3.
Top background --> Change both bytes 13 and 16 of block 5.
Byte 13: set to 0x40.
Byte 16: set to 0x10.
(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).

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:
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:
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:
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.

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:
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).

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)

Note: IDs can go as high as 255, all IDs past 118 are blank and have been left out for sake of shortening the list.

File Formats
TODO: 
- More filetypes
- Double-check course data block names
- Perhaps info on control bytes and slope controllers?
This page lists file formats used by New Super Mario Bros., what they're used for, and their structures.
Do recall that the NDS uses little endian, so values are read starting from the least significant byte.
Tilesets
These files contain information about tilesets.
Tile Object Definition Files
AKA unt files. These define a tileset's tile objects and can be found in the 
BG_unt/ folder. These are distinct from the unt_hd files.
These consist of an object block, which contain object row blocks, which can contain either a slope controller — a byte greater than or equal to 
0x80, or a tile — defined like so:
Length
Description
0x1
Control byte
0x2
Map16 tile; can be from any of the loaded tilesets — 
0x0000-0x00FF = jyotyu, 
0x0100-0x03FF = main tileset, 
0x0400-0x05FF = subnohara
The end of an object row block is denoted with 
0xFE, while the end of an object block is denoted with 
0xFF.
Unt_hd Files
Contain supplementary information about a tileset's tile objects. Can be found in the 
BG_unt/ folder and will be suffixed with "_hd". Each block is defined suchly:
Length
Description
0x2
Offset of tile object (in unt file)
0x1
Width
0x1
Height
There is a block for each object defined in the tilesets unt file.
Courses
These files contain information about course areas and can be found in the 
course/ folder.
Course Data Files
Course data files contain all the information about a course area bar tile object layout. Files are named 
X##_#.bin, where 
X is a letter corresponding to the world, 
## is a number corresponding to the course, and 
# is the area.
Blocks are counted starting from 1, a la NSMBe. Header:

Course BgDat Files
These files contain information about the placement of tile objects in a course area. Their filenames follow the same convention as the course data files but are suffixed with "_bgdat" Each tile object is defined as such:
Length
Description
0x1
Tile object number
0x1
Leftmost nybble determines which tileset the object comes from — 0x0 for jyotyu, 0x1 for the main tileset, 0x2 for subnohara
0x2
X position of tile object (top left, relative to top left of stage)
0x2
Y position of tile object (top left, relative to top left of stage)
0x2
Width of tile object
0x2
Height of tile object
Each file is terminated with 
0xFFFF.
NSMBe
File formats created for use with NSMBe.
NMP
A NSMBe Exported Patch; also specified in NSMBe's source. The header consists of a byte specifying a string length (in practice, always 
0x15) followed by a string (which must read "NSMBe4 Exported Patch" or, allowed in versions 5.3 and above, "NSMBe5 Exported Patch"). It's suceeded by a list of files to replace, with each file defined suchly:
Length
Description
0x1
File start byte. Always 
0x01; any other value denotes the end of the file list.
0x1
File name length.
File name length
File name; used to identify the files to replace. If the file is not found when applying the patch, it is skipped.
0x2
File ID. When a patch is applied, if a file in the ROM has the name of a file specified in the patch but a different file ID, a warning is shown.
0x4
File data length.
File data length
File data.
The end of the file list is denoted with a null byte.

Modding Tutorials
Tutorials on how to mod NSMB DS

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
FaQ
How do I play Mario vs Luigi hacks?
The easiest way to play an MvsL hack on real hardware is by using “Multi-cart”
This requires that you own two flashcards (such as an R4 Card).
To set this method up, simply put the same ROM on both flashcards. Then, in the game, choose the option to “Compete with another New Super Mario Bros. Owner” and play MvsL as you normally would.
If you do not have access to two flashcards, then you have two, more difficult, options remaining
Your first option is to try and use a hacked NDS firmware that bypasses Download Play's signature check
Download firmware.nds and put it on your flashcard.
Open this ROM on the DS you will launch Download Play from.
Now, eject the flashcard from the DS you just ran the ROM on. (This will not cause your DS to freeze)
Finally, put the flashcard back in the other DS.
Once you have done this, you can run the ROM of the MvsL hack and select “Play with someone who doesn't own New Super Mario Bros”
If the firmware ROM does not work on your flashcard, try this one instead.
Your final option is to use normal DS Download Play with “DLP Mode” in NSMBe 5
Open a clean (unedited) ROM
Open it in NSMBe
After you open the ROM, go to Tools and check “Enable DLP-friendly mode”
Now, you can make whatever changes you want to the ROM
When you're done, you can play with another DS through DS Download Play like you normally would using the “Play with someone who doesn't own New Super Mario Bros” option
If the game hangs at the Nintendo logo, you might have missed a step. Double check you did everything and try again with another clean ROM
If the DS freezes with a black screen after you select a level it can mean one of two things:
Your flashcard is not compatible with this method.
Some flashcards don't like firmware.nds. Try using firmwarefix.nds instead.
There's something wrong with the level that is making the game freeze
My level crashes, what do I do now?
If you are not using any Code Hacks, then here are some things to consider
Have you changed any object banks? This causes MvsL to crash so you need to change the object banks back to whatever the level had originally.
Double-check that you are not using an object that has been confirmed to crash MvsL. There is a table later on this page that shows what objects are compatible with MvsL.
Have you changed the number of Battle Stars that are in the level? Changing the number of Battle Stars in a level can cause MvsL to crash, and you will need to restore the original amount of Battle Stars the level had.
My level crashes, but I'm using Code Hacks!
Even with Code Hacks, not all objects work in MvsL. Take a look at the table at the end of the page to see if all of the objects you're using are compatible with MvsL.
My level makes us de-sync, what's going on?
Because of the nature of how multiplayer works in this game, the Random Number Generator seed is only synchronized once when the connection is established. Only inputs are sent from one console to another, so the code must account for both player actors. If code does not account for each player, the games will become de-synced. For example, if an enemy was coded to imply get the values of a player on the local console, it will read different data on each console. This causes the enemy to act differently on each DS, thus causing a de-sync.
Implementation example:
// Enemy reads only the position of its own console player
playerPositionX = Game::getPlayer(Game::localPlayerID)->position.x;
// Now the position that was read is different between both consoles
// for this enemy and he will behave differently for each console!
// This is very bad!
// A solution would be to get the position of the closest player
playerPositionX = enemy->getClosestPlayer(nullptr, nullptr)->position.x;
// This way, it gets the closest player instead of its console player
Object Compatibility (Vanilla)
These objects will work in MvsL regardless of if you are using code hacks
Most of the objects in this list are objects that are already used in MvsL

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:
Install the necessary tools to start modding
Open your ROM in the editor
Open a level from your ROM
Create a bare-bones level to build from
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.
You will now be presented with the level view:
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 
at the top of the editor window. Your blank level will look like this:
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 
 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:
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:
Now, let's create the Start Entrance. Click on the 
 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.
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.
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 
 button (and also click on Tileset 1 if it is not already selected). Your side bar should now be filled with Tiles!
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. 
Not bad! Now, let's make a Goal Pole for Mario to clear the level with.
First off, click on the 
 button in the sub menu to bring up the Actor List.
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.
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.
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. 
With 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:
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:
Drag this wall over the castle you created.
Lastly, drag the roof tile over the castle like you just did for the wall
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.
This tutorial has been tested on the following operating systems: 
- Fedora 
- Manjaro (should work for every Arch-based distribution) 
- Linux Mint (should work for every Debian-based distribution) 
Help us improve the compatibility list!
Requirements:
A computer running Linux
The latest build of NSMBe5
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.
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:
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:
Once it's done, click "create shortcut".
Now, to launch the app, just have to click on the "Launch" button, and there you go!
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:
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%:
Now it's working better!
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:
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.

Code Modification
Going beyond the basics and modifying the game's code.

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:
Where in the object bank table your actor's object info is stored. The array index is what you place in the editor to "place" your object. In the sample above, it is replacing ID 44. The beginning of this array is located at 
0x020c529c
Where in the main process table your actor's profile is stored. The beginning of this array is located at 
0x0203997c
 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.
TODO: Expand this page with more actor components (for example, colliders)

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:
Does not use attributes to declare patches, uses the function name. 
void hook_x() {}
Patches always follow the format 
<PATCH TYPE>_<ADDRESS HEX>_ov_<OVERLAY HEX> or 
<PATCH TYPE>_<ADDRESS HEX> if you don't need to specify an overlay.
PATCH TYPE can only be 
hook, 
repl or 
nsub.
Fireflower type patches:
Uses attributes to declare patches. 
hook(X) void func() {}
Patches always follow the format 
<PATCH TYPE>(0x<ADDRESS HEX>, 0x<OVERLAY HEX>) or 
<PATCH TYPE>(0x<ADDRESS HEX>) if you don't need to specify an overlay.
PATCH TYPE can only be 
hook, 
rlnk, 
safe or 
over.
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")

Porting old patches to the NSMB Code Reference


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:
Set up the NSMB DS Code Template
Set up ARM GCC
Set up NCPatcher
Extract/Build your ROM
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
Head over to the code template's GitHub
Click on Code -> Download ZIP
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)
Don't put any spaces in your folder name!
You have now set up the code template
Setting up ARM GCC
Head to the Arm GNU Toolchain Download Page
Now search (using CTRL/CMD + F) for AArch32 bare-metal target (arm-none-eabi) and download the correct installer for your operating system.
Open the installer and install the toolchain.
Pick a location without spaces to install the toolchain!
You have now set up ARM GCC
Setting Up NCPatcher
Head over to the NCPatcher GitHub releases page
Download the latest release for your operating system
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:
ncpatcher.json
Copy/Paste the following JSON into the file
{
  "$arm_flags": "-masm-syntax-unified -mno-unaligned-access -mfloat-abi=soft -mabi=aapcs",
  "$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
Download fireflower.zip and extract it.
Move nds-build.exe and nds-extract.exe out from the folder
If you're on macOS/Linux
Download nds-extract.zip
Download nds-build.zip
Extract both ZIPs
Now, you need to build the tools.
For NDS Extract:
Open a new Terminal window in the folder of the code
Run this command: 
g++ nds-extract.cpp -o nds-extract -std=c++20
For NDS Build:
Open a new Terminal window in the folder of the code
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
Open a Terminal window in your project root
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.
Open a Terminal window in your project root
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!
buildrules.txt
Copy/Paste the following text into the file:
rom_header nsmb/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
Open a Terminal window in your project root
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:
The latest version of Ghidra
A build of melonDS that has the GDB enabled
The easiest way to get this is to grab a GitHub action build of melonDS. You can find that here. (Note: you'll need to be signed into a GitHub account to download these builds)
The GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain installed on your system
A Ghidra database of NSMB DS
Eventually, NSMB Central will host a shared Ghidra project so we have one centralized project anyone can contribute to. For now, you can generate a Ghidra project using this tool. If you need help, please ask in our Discord!
Configuring melonDS
To enable the GDB, you need to do the following:
Click on the Config menu at the top of the emulator, then click on Emu Settings
Click on the Devtools tab
Check Enable GDB stub
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.
Click on File -> Configure, which should open a list of tools
Check the "Debugger" box
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:
As you'll notice, there is an active connection in the screenshot but nothing on your end...let's fix that!
Click on the 
 button to open the connect window.
If you are on Linux:
Choose gdb in the dropdown
Set arm-none-eabi-gdb -ex "set arch armv5t" as the GDB Launch Command
If you have not added arm-none-eabi-gdb to your PATH, you'll need to provide the absolute path
Click 
 
If you are on macOS
Choose gdb via SSH in the dropdown
Set arm-none-eabi-gdb -ex "set arch armv5t" as the GDB Launch Command
If you have not added arm-none-eabi-gdb to your PATH, you'll need to provide the absolute path
Set SSH hostname to localhost
Set SSH username to your username
You can use the command whoami in the terminal to get your username if you don't know it
Click 
 
If you are on Windows
This still needs to be tested on Windows. This guide will be updated when steps have been made
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.
If you have lost the interpreter window, open the objects window (Window -> Debugger -> Objects) and click on 
 to bring the menu back
In melonDS, open your ROM. (You can either boot directly to the game or launch the firmware)
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.)
By default, it should be 3333. The command would be target remote localhost:3333
If melonDS pauses after running this command, GDB is now talking to melonDS
If the connection immediately closes after running the command: change the ARM9 port to something else, restart melonDS, and close the current GDB connection.
You have now connected Ghidra to melonDS 
Using Breakpoints
If you would like to set breakpoints, you'll need to use the Dynamic PC
Open the Dynamic PC window by clicking Window -> Listing -> Dynamic - Auto PC, [...]
If you do not see this option, you can alternatively open it via Window -> Debugger -> New Dynamic Listing
Next, open the Modules window by clicking Window -> Debugger -> Modules
Lastly, click on 
 in the Modules window.
Now, setting a breakpoint in your code view should set a breakpoint in the Dynamic PC
Breakpoints will only update if the emulator has hit a breakpoint or has been paused by pressing 
You have now set up Ghidra to debug melonDS. Happy coding!

NSMB Co-op Development Guide
Introduction
This guide explains how to write code that works correctly with the NSMB Co-op hack. The co-op system allows two players (Mario and Luigi) to play simultaneously on separate consoles connected via local wireless.
The biggest challenge in co-op development is preventing desyncs - situations where the two consoles have different game states. This document covers common desync patterns and how to avoid them, along with co-op-specific systems like player spectating.
Key Principle: Any code that affects gameplay state must produce identical results on both consoles, regardless of which console is running it.

Core Concepts
What is a Desync?
A desync occurs when the two consoles have different game states. For example:
Console 1 thinks Mario has 3 lives, Console 2 thinks Mario has 2 lives
Console 1 shows an enemy as alive, Console 2 shows it as defeated
Console 1 has a different random number sequence than Console 2
Safe vs. Unsafe Operations
Safe: Operations that only affect local display/audio (sounds, UI elements, screen shaking)
Unsafe: Operations that modify gameplay state (player health, enemy behavior, item spawning, particle effects)
The Golden Rule
When writing gameplay logic, always consider: "What happens if both consoles run this code at the same time?"
Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Before diving into specific solutions, here are the most common mistakes that cause desyncs:
❌ DON'T: Use Game::localPlayerID for gameplay logic
// This will desync!
if (shouldTriggerEvent()) {
    Player* player = Game::getPlayer(Game::localPlayerID);
    player->giveReward();
}
✅ DO: Loop through all players or use linkedPlayerID
// This stays in sync!
if (shouldTriggerEvent()) {
    for (s32 playerID = 0; playerID < Game::getPlayerCount(); playerID++) {
        Player* player = Game::getPlayer(playerID);
        if (playerMeetsCondition(player)) {
            player->giveReward();
        }
    }
}
❌ DON'T: Use ViewShaker without playerID parameter
// This will desync!
ViewShaker::start(type, viewID);
✅ DO: Specify which player should feel the shake
// This stays in sync!
ViewShaker::start(type, viewID, playerID, false);
❌ DON'T: Use Game::getRandom() for gameplay logic
// This will desync!
if ((Game::getRandom() & 0xFF) == 0) {
    spawnEnemy();
}
✅ DO: Use Net::getRandom() for synchronized randomness
// This stays in sync!
if ((Net::getRandom() & 0xFF) == 0) {
    spawnEnemy();
}
Understanding Desyncs: A Detailed Example
Let's examine how a typical desync occurs using a Goomba collision example:
Let's pretend this is how a Goomba is coded to hurt a player:
void Goomba::hurtPlayer() {
    // Game::localPlayerID is the ID of the player for *our* console
    s32 playerID = Game::localPlayerID;
    // Game::getPlayer(id) gives us a pointer to a Player object
    // id = 0 → Mario
    // id = 1 → Luigi
    Player* player = Game::getPlayer(playerID);
    // The local player gets hurt
    player->getHurt();
    // Problem:
    // On Console 0 → local_player_id = 0 → only Mario gets hurt
    // On Console 1 → local_player_id = 1 → only Luigi gets hurt
    //
    // Bad result:
    // Console 0 sees:
    //   Mario = HURT
    //   Luigi = NOT HURT
    //
    // Console 1 sees:
    //   Mario = NOT HURT
    //   Luigi = HURT
}
The Solution
The fix is to use the collision information that's already available:
Usually when a collision with an enemy occurs, the actor is informed of which player collided with it. This information is stored in 
this->linkedPlayerID.
void Goomba::hurtPlayer() {
    // this->linkedPlayerID is the ID of the player that collided with the Goomba
    // Let's assume it was Mario (0)
    s32 playerID = this->linkedPlayerID;
    // Game::getPlayer(id) gives us a pointer to a Player object
    // id = 0 → Mario
    // id = 1 → Luigi
    Player* player = Game::getPlayer(playerID);
    // The player that collided with the Goomba gets hurt
    player->getHurt();
    // Good result:
    // Console 0 sees:
    //   Mario = HURT
    //   Luigi = NOT HURT
    //
    // Console 1 sees:
    //   Mario = HURT
    //   Luigi = NOT HURT
}
Alternative: Player Loop Pattern
When 
this->linkedPlayerID isn't available, use the player loop pattern:
bool Goomba::shouldPlayerGetHurt(Player* player) {
    // ... do any checks to decide if Player should get hurt
    // In this example we assume Mario (0) is in love with the Goomba
    return player->isInLoveWithGoomba(this);
}
void Goomba::hurtPlayer() {
    // Update the logic for all players
    for (s32 playerID = 0; playerID < Game::getPlayerCount(); playerID++) {
        // Game::getPlayer(id) gives us a pointer to a Player object
        // id = 0 → Mario
        // id = 1 → Luigi
        Player* player = Game::getPlayer(playerID);
        if (shouldPlayerGetHurt(player)) {
            // The player that collided with the Goomba gets hurt
            player->getHurt();
        }
    }
    // Good result:
    // Console 0 sees:
    //   Mario = HURT
    //   Luigi = NOT HURT
    //
    // Console 1 sees:
    //   Mario = HURT
    //   Luigi = NOT HURT
}
Co-op-Safe Patterns and Solutions
Player Targeting: Finding the Right Player
Use 
ActorFixes_getClosestPlayer(this) instead of 
Game::getLocalPlayer() or 
Game::getPlayer(Game::localPlayerID).
void Volcano::spawnMeteor() {
    // BAD: Always targets the local player
    Player* target = Game::getLocalPlayer();
    // GOOD: Finds the closest player to the volcano
    Player* target = ActorFixes_getClosestPlayer(this);
    // Spawn meteor at target's position
    Vec3 meteorPos = target->position;
    Actor::spawnActor(METEOR_ID, 0, &meteorPos, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
}
For zone-specific targeting:
void SpikeBass::attack() {
    // Find the closest player in a specific zone
    Player* target = ActorFixes_getClosestPlayerInZone(this, zoneID);
    if (target == nullptr) {
        // Fallback to any closest player
        target = ActorFixes_getClosestPlayer(this);
    }
    // Attack the target
    fireProjectileAt(target->position);
}
Audio: Console-Specific Sound Effects
This is one of the few cases where it's safe to use 
Game::localPlayerID, as audio is local to each console - the other console doesn't receive or process your sound effects.
void MyHack::updatePlayerFlyState() {
    // Update the logic for all players
    for (s32 playerID = 0; playerID < Game::getPlayerCount(); playerID++) {
        Player* player = Game::getPlayer(playerID);
        // ... logic to update the fly state
        // Play flight finished jingle
        if (player->finishedFlying) {
            // Only the player that finished flying will hear the jingle
            if (playerID == Game::localPlayerID) {
                SND::playSFX(FLIGHT_FINISHED_SFX, &player->position);
            }
        }
    }
}
Another common pattern is to play sound effects when items are collected or power-ups are switched:
void RedRing::spawnReward() {
    for (s32 playerID = 0; playerID < Game::getPlayerCount(); playerID++) {
        Player* player = Game::getPlayer(playerID);
        // Determine reward based on power-up
        PowerupState reward = calculateReward(player->currentPowerup);
        // Play sound only for the local player when they get Fire Flower
        if (reward == PowerupState::Fire && playerID == Game::localPlayerID) {
            SND::playSFX(0x17E, &this->position);
        }
        // Spawn the item for this player
        spawnItemForPlayer(reward, playerID);
    }
}
Safe Uses of Game::localPlayerID
There are specific cases where using 
Game::localPlayerID is not only safe, but necessary:
Sound Effects: Audio is local to each console
Visual UI Elements: Screen-specific UI components like menus and HUD
Liquid Position: Due to co-op forcing shared areas, liquid levels are stored per-console
File Loading: Loading graphics or UI resources that are console-specific
// ✅ SAFE: Sound effects
if (playerID == Game::localPlayerID) {
    SND::playSFX(soundID, &position);
}
// ✅ SAFE: Liquid collision (special case - see liquid section)
if (player->position.y < Stage::liquidPosition[Game::localPlayerID]) {
    // Handle liquid damage
}
// ✅ SAFE: UI updates
if (playerID == Game::localPlayerID) {
    FS::loadFileLZ77(spectateTextFileID, (u16*)HW_OBJ_VRAM);
}
View Shaking: Per-Player Screen Effects
If you want to shake the screen for a specific player, never use the basic 
ViewShaker::start overloads with conditional logic:
// BAD: This causes instant desync
if (canShakePlayer(Game::localPlayerID)) {
    ViewShaker::start(type, viewID);
}
This causes an immediate desync. Instead, use the 4-argument overload without the conditional check:
void SledgeBro::doGroundPound() {
    for (s32 playerID = 0; playerID < Game::getPlayerCount(); playerID++) {
        Player* player = Game::getPlayer(playerID);
        // Check if this specific player should be affected
        if (ActorFixes_isPlayerInShakeRange(player)) {
            ViewShaker::start(3, this->viewID, playerID, false);
            // Play sound only for the local player
            if (playerID == Game::localPlayerID) {
                SND::playSFX(138, &this->position);
            }
            // Apply gameplay effects to this specific player
            if (!Game::getPlayerDead(playerID)) {
                player->takeDamage();
            }
        }
    }
}
Camera and Visibility Checks
Never use 
Game::isOutsideCamera(..., Game::localPlayerID) for gameplay logic.
Use 
ActorFixes_isOutsideCamera or 
ActorFixes_isInRangeOfAllPlayers instead:
void Enemy::updateBehavior() {
    // BAD: Only checks against local player's camera
    if (Game::isOutsideCamera(this->position, boundingBox, Game::localPlayerID)) {
        return; // Skip update
    }
    // GOOD: Checks against the closest player's camera
    if (ActorFixes_isOutsideCamera(this, boundingBox)) {
        return; // Skip update
    }
    // Continue with enemy logic...
}
For entities that need to stay active when any player can see them:
void Enemy::onUpdate() {
    // This ensures the actor only updates if ANY player can see it
    if (!ActorFixes_isInRangeOfAllPlayers(this)) {
        return; // All players are too far away, skip update
    }
    // Continue updating since at least one player can see us
    updateLogic();
}
Rendering Optimization
Use 
ActorFixes_safeSkipRender for 3D animated entities that need to update their models but may not render:
class HammerBro : public StageEntity3DAnm {
    bool skipRender() override {
        // This will update the model but only render for players who can see it
        return ActorFixes_safeSkipRender(this);
    }
};
Random Number Generation
Use 
Game::getRandom() for local code (UI, effects, sounds).
Use 
Net::getRandom() for gameplay logic that affects game state:
void Blockhopper::updateJump() {
    // BAD: Different random numbers on each console = desync
    if ((Game::getRandom() & 0xFF) == 0) {
        doJump();
    }
    // GOOD: Synchronized random numbers across consoles
    if ((Net::getRandom() & 0xFF) == 0) {
        doJump();
    }
}
Special Cases
Liquid/Lava Damage: The Exception to the Rule
Special Case: Liquids are one of the few exceptions where you DO use 
Game::localPlayerID!
This is because the co-op implementation doesn't support per-player liquid levels - if liquid is detected in the level, both players are forced to always be in the same area, so they share the same liquid level. The liquid position is managed per-console, not per-player.
void checkLiquidDeath(Player* player) {
    s32 playerID = player->linkedPlayerID;
    // CORRECT: Use localPlayerID for liquid position
    // Both players share the same liquid level since they're in the same area
    if (player->position.y < Stage::liquidPosition[Game::localPlayerID]) {
        player->playSFXUnique(338, &player->position);
        Liquid_doWaves(player->position.x, 1);
        Game::losePlayerLife(playerID);
        Game::setPlayerDead(playerID, true);
    }
}
The reason for this exception:
Liquid positions are stored per-console: 
Stage::liquidPosition[Game::localPlayerID]
Co-op forces both players to be in the same area at all times
Each console only tracks one liquid level (the local one)
Trying to use 
Stage::liquidPosition[playerID] would fail because only index 
[Game::localPlayerID] is valid
StageLayout Data: Incomplete Arrays
Critical Issue: Many parts of the StageLayout have arrays that appear to support both players (
PlayerCount-sized arrays), but in reality only the local player's data is populated or valid.
This means that even though the StageLayout structure contains arrays like:
ScreenInfo screenFG[PlayerCount];     // Only [localPlayerID] is valid
ScreenInfo screenBG[PlayerCount];     // Only [localPlayerID] is valid
You MUST use 
Game::localPlayerID when accessing these arrays, regardless of which player you're working with:
// ❌ BAD: Will access invalid/empty data for non-local player
u16 getForegroundID(u32 playerID) {
    return Stage_getFgScreenID(playerID); // This will fail for playerID != localPlayerID
}
// ✅ GOOD: Always use localPlayerID for StageLayout data
u16 getForegroundID(u32 playerID) {
    return Stage_getFgScreenID(Game::localPlayerID); // This works correctly
}
Real Examples from the Codebase:
Pipes Background Fix: The screen foreground data is only available for the local player:
// Fixed pipes background - must use localPlayerID instead of playerID
// Original code caused desyncs by trying to access screenFG[playerID]
// when only screenFG[localPlayerID] contains valid data
Volcano Eruption: Background screen data is local-only:
// Check if we're in a volcano level (screen ID 15)
if (Stage_getFgScreenID(Game::localPlayerID) == 15) {
    ActorFixes_updateVolcanoBackground();
}
BG1CNT Register Fix: Background control data is per-console:
// Do not set BG1 CNT with other player's data - we don't have it!
if (Game::localPlayerID == playerID) {
    // Apply background changes only for local player
}
Why This Happens:
Nintendo's original game was single-player, so many systems only tracked one set of data
Background/foreground rendering data is managed per-console since each console renders independently
Screen effects, camera settings, and background animations are local to each console
When to Use localPlayerID for StageLayout:
Screen/background data access (
screenFG, 
screenBG, 
screenTS)
Camera and view-related information that's console-specific
Background effects and animations
Tile rendering and display settings
Rotators: Forced View Synchronization
Critical Issue: Levels with rotators (rotating/tilting level mechanics) force additional constraints that override normal co-op behavior.
Rotators are detected by checking if any tileset has 
screenID == 0xFF00:
bool Stage_areaHasRotator() {
    u32 tilesetCount = Stage::getBlockElementCount(StageBlockID::Tileset);
    for (u32 i = 0; i < tilesetCount; i++) {
        if (Stage::stageBlocks.tileset[i].screenID == 0xFF00)
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}
Rotator Restrictions:
When a level has a rotator, both players must always be in the same view.
This limitation exists because each console only maintains its own StageLayout data, making it impossible to reliably detect or synchronize rotator states for the other player. Supporting independent rotators for both players would require a major overhaul of the system, so co-op forces both players to remain in the same view to guarantee that all rotator effects apply to a shared, consistent state.
Consequences of Rotators:
Players cannot split into different areas/views
Door and pipe transitions affect both players simultaneously
Examples of Rotator Levels:
W8 Final Castle
Hardcoded Area Values
Important: The codebase contains many hardcoded area number checks for specific levels and special behaviors. These represent special-case handling that you need to be aware of when modifying co-op behavior. There are plans to remove these hardcoded constraints by using actors that set flags on the levels and then despawn.
Mini-Mushroom Cutscene Areas (180, 181):
// Mini-mushroom cutscene areas
u32& areaNum = *rcast<u32*>(0x02085A94);
if (areaNum == 180 || areaNum == 181) {
    PlayerSpectate::clearSpectators();
    *rcast<u32*>(0x02085ACC) |= 0x20; // toadHouseFlag
    *rcast<u32*>(0x020CA8B4) = 0x1000; // timeLeft
    // Special handling for mini-mushroom collection areas
    if (itemType == 25 && player->currentPowerup == PowerupState::Mini) {
        Stage::exitLevel(1); // Exit to mini world
        return;
    }
}
Boss Defeat Cutscenes:
// World 2 Boss (42) and World 5 Boss (105)
u32& areaNum = *rcast<u32*>(0x02085A94);
if (areaNum == 42) { // World 2
    switchToCutsceneArea(0);
} else if (areaNum == 105) { // World 5
    switchToCutsceneArea(1);
}
Final Castle Special Handling (173):
// Hardcoded: prevent rotators from resetting but still get rid of lava in W8 Final Castle
u32& areaNum = *rcast<u32*>(0x02085A94);
if (areaNum == 173 && Game::getPlayer(0)->viewID != 0) {
    Stage_forceAreaReload = 2;
}
Boss Arena Loading (19, 175):
// Skip loading castle models for specific boss areas
u32& areaNum = *rcast<u32*>(0x02085A94);
if (areaNum == 19 || areaNum == 175) {
    return; // Don't load the model
}
Shared Camera Mode (174):
// Force shared camera for specific boss fights
u32& areaNum = *rcast<u32*>(0x02085A94);
if (areaNum == 174) {
    PlayerSpectate::sharedCamera = true;
}
Common Hardcoded Values:
19, 175: Boss arenas requiring special model handling
42: World 2 Boss (Mummy Pokey)
105: World 5 Boss (Petey Piranha)
173: World 8 Final Castle (rotator + lava)
174: Specific boss fight with shared camera
180, 181: Mini-mushroom cutscene areas
Why These Exist:
Memory Management: Some boss fights need special model loading/unloading
Transition Logic: Areas that exit to special worlds or cutscene areas
Camera/View Constraints: Levels with unique mechanics (rotators, looper)
When Working with New Areas:
Check if your area number conflicts with existing hardcoded values
Consider whether your area needs special co-op handling
Add your own hardcoded checks if needed for area-specific behavior
Debugging and Troubleshooting
Desync Detection System
The codebase includes a 
DesyncGuard system that helps detect when the game state diverges between consoles. Key events that are monitored include:
Player damage events
Power-up changes
Scene transitions
RNG usage
If you're adding new gameplay systems, consider adding desync check markers at critical points:
void myGameplayFunction() {
    // Your gameplay logic here
    // Mark that this function was called to detect desyncs
    DesyncGuard::markDesyncCheck();
}
General Debugging Tips
Remember: When in doubt, loop through all players and apply logic based on each player's individual state rather than assuming anything about the local player!
Key Questions to Ask:
Does this code behave differently on Console 0 vs Console 1?
Am I using 
Game::localPlayerID for gameplay logic?
Are my random numbers synchronized between consoles?
Will both consoles execute this logic identically?
Advanced Systems
Player Spectate System
The co-op hack includes a spectate system that allows dead players to watch the other player and automatically follow them through level transitions. This system maintains engaging co-op gameplay when one player dies, rather than forcing a restart or breaking the co-op experience.
How Spectating Works
When a player dies in co-op mode, instead of immediately respawning or ending the level, they enter spectate mode:
Target Assignment: The dead player's camera follows the living player
// playerID ^ 1 gives us the other player (0 becomes 1, 1 becomes 0)
PlayerSpectate::setTarget(deadPlayerID, deadPlayerID ^ 1);
Camera Following: The spectating player's camera smoothly lerps to follow their target
// Camera position updates to match the target player
Player* target = PlayerSpectate::getTargetPlayer(spectatorPlayerID);
target->followCamera(spectatorPlayerID);
View Transitions: When the living player enters doors/pipes, spectators automatically follow
// All spectators following transitPlayerID will switch views too
PlayerSpectate::syncSpectatorsOnViewTransition(transitPlayerID);

Target Tracking: Each player has a target they're spectating (
playerTarget[playerID])
Local Target Cache: Quick access to who the local player is watching (
localTarget)
Smooth Transitions: Camera lerping prevents jarring jumps when switching targets
Shared Camera Mode: Special mode for certain levels (like the level looper in W8 Final Castle) where both players share one camera view
Entrance Following: Spectators automatically transition to new areas when their target does
API Reference
// Check if a player is spectating someone else
bool PlayerSpectate::isSpectating(u32 playerID);
// Get who a player is currently spectating
Player* PlayerSpectate::getTargetPlayer(u32 playerID);
// Manually set spectate target
PlayerSpectate::setTarget(spectatorID, targetPlayerID);
// Enable smooth camera transitions
PlayerSpectate::setLerping(playerID, true);
Spectate Mode Triggers
Entering Spectate Mode:
Player Dies (Other Alive): Player dies and other player is still alive → Enter spectate mode
Level Start (No Lives): Player is dead when spawning (e.g., at level start with 0 lives)
Warp Cannon: When using warp cannons, all other players spectate player 0 during the shooting sequence
Boss Victory Cutscenes: Players not directly involved in the victory sequence spectate the player who triggered it
Flagpole: (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET) When one player hits the flagpole, the other player spectates them during the victory sequence
Exiting Spectate Mode:
Player Respawns: The player spawns back into the level → Respawned player returns to normal
New Level: New level starts → Spectate targets reset to self (
PlayerSpectate::clearSpectators())
Cutscene End: Boss introduction cutscenes end → Players return to normal
Camera Lerping System
The spectate system includes smooth camera transitions via lerping (linear interpolation):
Automatic Lerp Activation:
Boss Victory: When players miss cutscenes or are repositioned during boss victories
Flagpole Hit: (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET) Smooth transition when other player hits the flagpole
Automatic Lerp Deactivation:
The lerping system automatically stops itself when transitions complete:
// Position lerping stops when camera reaches close enough to target
if (distanceX < 48fx && distanceY < 48fx) {
    if (distanceX == 0 && distanceY == 0)
        playerLerping[playerID] = false; // Auto-disable
}
// Zoom lerping stops when zoom difference is eliminated
if (distance == 0)
    playerLerpingZoom[playerID] = false; // Auto-disable
Key Lerping Properties:
Smooth Movement: Camera doesn't snap instantly to new positions
Distance Thresholds: Lerping ends when within 48 units of target position
Separate Zoom: Zoom lerping is handled independently from position lerping
Self-Terminating: No manual intervention needed - lerping automatically stops when complete
The spectate system ensures that co-op gameplay remains engaging even when one player dies, allowing them to continue following the action and automatically rejoin when appropriate.
Summary
This guide covered the essential principles for writing co-op compatible code in NSMB:
Remember these key points:
Never use 
Game::localPlayerID for gameplay logic (except liquids and local-only effects)
Always loop through all players or use 
this->linkedPlayerID for collision-based logic
Use 
Net::getRandom() for synchronized randomness, 
Game::getRandom() for local effects only
Specify player IDs explicitly in functions like 
ViewShaker::start()
Use co-op-safe helper functions like 
ActorFixes_getClosestPlayer()
When in doubt:
Ask yourself: "Will this code behave identically on both consoles?"
Test your changes with two consoles to verify synchronization
Use the debugging tools and desync guards to catch issues early
Following these patterns will help ensure your code works seamlessly in the co-op environment while maintaining the engaging two-player experience.

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

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.

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

NSMBe
TODO: Maybe a different screenshot?
NSMBe 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:
North American (A2DE)
European (A2DP)
Japanese (A2DJ)
Korean (A2DK)
Chinese (A2DC)
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
The "Decompress overlay" button in the ROM File Browser tab is nonfunctional
Certain levels from the vanilla game (such as 1-4 area 2) cannot be opened and instead thrown an exception
Colour 0 is always rendered as transparent in the graphics editor, even in textures that are not meant to render it as transparent
Certain models (such as w8.nsbmd) will show a message stating "This file is already being edited" even when not opened in the graphics editor; they are suchly uneditable through NSMBe's graphics editor without modification
The "Edit Properties" button in the Backgrounds tab will not apply changes made to file IDs
The undo button in the tilemap editor will not properly undo tiles drawn over tiles which use a palette greater than the amount of palettes opened (such as the blue coins in the jyotyu tileset tilemap)
The object preview in the tile object editor does not accurately render the behaviour of slope control tiles as they function in-game
NSMBe will regard files closed in the graphics editor by right-clicking as still "open" and will throw an error upon attempting to reopen said file, even after closing the graphics editor window

Other Tools
TODO:
- Sorting and general touching-up.
- midi2sseq & sseq2midi; I believe NitroStudio makes the former obsolete... I'm not quite sure where the latter came from, originally.
- Actually, there should be more sound tools in general.
- bnbl & bncl editors under legacy tools?
- Perhaps list the original NitroStudio under legacy tools?
- Make mirrors of downloads?
- Some descriptions should be improved (Nitro Studio 2 in particular)
- Also, there seems to be a Nitro Studio 2 Deluxe (forked from the original), but I'm not sure what all's different. Should it replace Nitro Studio 2 here?
- ^Goes for other random ass forks of programs listed here
- Add this?
- if your reading this why not add more tools

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.

3. Camera Controllers
Map16 tiles 1 through 6 have hardcoded behaviours that affect how the camera behaves when approaching a chunk. When multiple are in a chunk, the highest-priority tile object takes precedent. NSMBe assigns these tiles colours for visibility in the editor. Tiles 7 and 8 — a vine stopper and an invisible wall, respectively — are not known to have any hardcoded properties despite similarly being coloured by NSMBe.
1: Camera blocker; prevents the camera from entering a chunk, even when it contains tiles. 
2: Allows camera to enter empty chunks.
3: Smoothly raises bottom of camera out of a chunk when approached from the left; conversely, allows camera to smoothly lower into a chunk when approached from the right.
4: Smoothly lowers top of camera out of a chunk when approached from the left; conversely, allows camera to smoothly raise into a chunk when approached from the right.
5: Smoothly raises bottom of camera out of a chunk when approached from the right; conversely, allows camera to smoothly lower into a chunk when approached from the left. Misleadingly described as forbidding the camera from entering chunks by NSMBe.
6: Smoothly lowers top of camera out of a chunk when approached from the right; conversely, allows camera to smoothly raise into a chunk when approached from the left.
4. Tile Behavior Changes
When certain switches are triggered, tile behaviors of specific map16 tiles change. This is done in conjunction with switch-triggered tile animations to make things like blue coins and red blocks appear.
P-Switch
These tiles change when a p-switch or a red ring set to act like a p-switch is triggered.
Map16 tile
Changed behavior
36 (P-switch blue coin)
0x04000200 - Coin (blue sparkles)
37 (P-switch red-coloured coin)
0x02000200 - Coin (Unk param 2)
Additionally, all tiles in the jyotyu tileset with the behavior 
0x00000200 (coin) will change to 
0x00001000 (brick block) and, likewise, all tiles with the behavior 
0x00001000 (brick block) will change to 
0x00000200 (coin).
!-Switch
These tiles will change when a !-switch with normal settings or a red ring set to act like a !-switch is triggered.
Map16 tile
Changed behavior
29 (Red block outline)
0x00000800 - Explodes into used block
30 (Red block outline)
0x00000800 - Explodes into used block
39 (Red coin outline)
0x02000200 - Coin (Unk param 2)
40 (Snake block)
0x00000200 - Coin
!-Switch (red blocks only)
These tiles will change when red ring set to "Red Blocks only" mode or a !-switch with "Delay on multiple" is set to "Unknown" is triggered.
Map16 tile
Changed behavior
29 (Red block outline)
0x04000800 - Explodes into brick block
30 (Red block outline)
0x04000800 - Explodes into brick block

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 bg animations)
- Verify animation speeds 
- Mention unused files? Unused 3D tile IDs? 
 
- Add info from here: https://nsmbhd.net/post/46490/ 
- Add info on subnohara castle flag 
- How do sound effects for boss doors work? 
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).

Doors
The tileset used determines which doors are loaded in an area. There are two types of doors — 2-tile wide ones and 3-tile wide ones. The tile behaviors of the tiles the door entrance is placed in front of dictates whether a 2- or 3-tile wide door is used.
For 2-tile wide doors, every tileset loads the default door (
W_tobira.nsbmd) with the default animations (
W_tobira.nsbca) except slot 40: Ghost house exit, which loads the ghost house exit door (
W_tobira_o.nsbmd) and uses its respective animations (
W_tobira_o.nsbca).
For 3-tile wide doors, slots 1: Castle, 39: Tower, 58: Light grey castle, and 65: Desert load the wooden boss door (
W_tobira_b.nsbmd) and its respective animations (
W_tobira_b.nsbca) whereas slot 45: Final Castle loads the red final boss door (
W_tobira_k.nsbmd) and its animations (
W_tobira_k.nsbca).
