Hacking Beta Tracks in MKDS

[spyrosbiggestfan5678]

CONTINUED FROM LAST COMMENT

Then type "narctool c old_baby_gcTex.narc old_baby_gcTex.carc" and press enter. This compresses the narc into a carc.

You can delete the directories and narc files (take care not to delete the carc files).

Now just do the rest of the steps in the video. Swap old_baby_gc.carc for dokan_course.carc, and repack the ROM, and play it.

Now, if you did it right, you should have a textured dokan_course!

Then open the file in DOKAN called "course_model.nsbmd" and search for TEX0, when you find it, copy all the data from TEX0 until the end. Paste into your file we created in the last step.

Save the new file as "course_model.nsbtx" in OLDBABYT, and overwrite the existing one.

Now we need to pack the Tex directory. In CMD, type "narctool p OLDBABYT old_baby_gcTex.narc" and press enter. This packs the directory into a narc file.

Press enter. This will unpack the narc file into a directory.

Then, do the same thing, but decompress "old_baby_gcTex.carc" and unpack the resulting narc into OLDBABYT. If the decompression don't work, unpack it manually with NarcExplorer2.

Next, open your hex editor, and open the file in OLDBABYT directory called "course_model.nsbtx". Copy all the data before TEX0 (so BTX0 until TEX0) and paste it into a new file.

Get a hex editor, narctool, and possibly NarcExplorer2.

Go into the Command Prompt (Start -> Run, and type "CMD").

CD to the directory of your ROM, and open the ROM as seen in the video.

Then, in CMD type "cd data\data\course".

Get narctool , your hex editor and NarcExplorer2, and copy them into the Course directory.

Now, type "narctool d dokan_course.carc dokan_course.narc" and press enter. This decompresses the carc file to a narc.

Then type "narctool u dokan_course.narc DOKAN"

@spyrosbiggestfan5678 I tried to extract the Course_Collison.kcl from Dokan_Course.carc but not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Used narc explorer

[spyrosbiggestfan5678]

@Luigi7496 You don't need NarcExplorer for it.

Use the command "narctool u dokan_course.narc DOKAN" to unpack it.

[Luigi7496]

@spyrosbiggestfan5678 I tried to extract the Course_Collison.kcl from Dokan_Course.carc but not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Used narc explorer

And no decent hex editor around for free

[spyrosbiggestfan5678]

@Luigi7496 Google: Cygnus Free Edition.

It is decent enough to to this hack, trust me.

If you're still stuck, PM me about it and I'll show you.

[MrMakeman]

DsLazy.

It's a GUI for the NDS extractor.

[AwEsOmE4938]

where do you find a kiosk rom

[AwEsOmE4938]

how do u dump a rom ?

[AwEsOmE4938]

I NEED A ROM.

And it cant be one of those sites that you need an account for.OK?

[XD4rkCha0s]

is it possible for to get Mario GCN Textured this way

[spyrosbiggestfan5678]

Using a Hex editor, NarcTool and Narc Explorer 2, yes.

[jimbo3390]

thx for the tut

[Miktendo]

Ihave an Ak2i patch for this :P

[Squake]

I just found this video deep in my PC files. WOW these are some good memories.

^_^

[zzslayr]

Could somebody just hack the dokan couse just so it has texture? It doens't have to be the right color. All I want to do is to snake in those tunnels!!!!!!!

[miket1991]

hmm, if you do it this wasy i think you may be able to get textures... pause at 1 minute 3 seconds and look at the name of the things. there is donkey_courseTex.carc and donkey_course.carc.

he didnt copy over the dokan_courseTex.carc. maybe thats why there arent any textures... i'm gonna try it now if i can find ndstool anywhere

[UltimatePisman]

No, Tex files are useless.

And donkey_course in Final Mario Kart DS is Beta Waluigi Pinball (pinball_course), which is only viewable through an emulator.

[miket1991]

hmm thats weird, i wonder what a Tex file is then? you have any idea?

[UltimatePisman]

I tried to open it in Narctool, believe me, it's useless.

[NeoWynaut]

The Kiosk Rom can be found here:

h t t p : / / z 1 0 . invisionfree . c o m / CWGames / index . php?showtopic=16&st=0#entry135­59549

Remove the spaces!

[kidgame54]

[Blimp117]

[dexter0]

Pressing On - Relient K

[Blimp117]

thx

[shuriken88]

umm or just use the ACTION REPLAY code to always put unt. or even just switch courses its easier dude o.o

[dexter0]

Look at the date this was published? Was the AR around then :/

[MiniBowser]

To start up NDSTool, you need to start up CMD.EXE first.

[MiniBowser]

Hey Dexter0, GSCentral is online again!

[ntlx2]

cool but whats that black box u get from the bottom of the screen

[yangj08]

How do you make the Dokan course look like the one in the video someone else posted? On this cideo it looks white, while on the other video it's colored so you know where you're supposed to go.

[dexter0]

You need to obtain the kiosk rom to do that. I hav no idea where they other person got it from.

[tech012345123]

@dexter0 DShack.org

[superstarxalien169]

@dexter0 porting demo's textures to the final

[PictoChris]

Where do I get the ROM. And PM and teach me!

[mat128]

Help!!! when i try to open dstools it closes automaticly!!!How can i open dstools!!!

[dexter0]

Run it via the command line.

[TennisGvy]

using DS lazy how do you rename mariokartds to mkds ?

[TennisGvy]

how do you change mariokartds.nds to mkds in that screen? I did everything else, THX!

[wortel6]

[mat128]

[mat128]

ho yay where did you get the song i would realy like to put in my supercard!!!

[dexter0]

Pressing On

Relient K

iTunes music store ;)

[dexter0]

iTunes Music Store

[mat128]

wow thanks!!!it works!!!

[mat128]

can you show me how to do this with the test circle because this hack worked on my supercard sd!!!

Thanks

[dexter0]

After you delete old_baby_gc.carc, instead of copying dokan_course.carc copy test_circle.carc (I think that is what it's called?)

[wortel6]

ey can you put rom together with winrar also?

[dexter0]

You use NDSTool for extracting and repacking the rom.

[wortel6]

is this walktrought also for m3?

[dexter0]

This walkthough is not specific to any device. If you have a question on how to do a step such as dumping a ROM take it to a forum where they talk about the M3-CF. Once you have your rom dumped continue following the video.

[wortel6]

how to hack mkds with m3-cf

[dexter0]

Get yourself a copy of the ROM and hack it as demostrated and load it back onto your m3-cf and boot. I can't give you specific instructions because I don't have an m3-cf.

[NiFreak]

Ok, I decided to try this with a rom I found online, but I can't get past step 2. I try to open NDSTool, but it always immediately closes. Those two things you had open at the bottom were ndstool, right? Anyway, could you help?

[dexter0]

You need to run NDSTool from the command line.

[NiFreak]

I think I'll just google it, cause I really have no clue what the command line is. =P

[dexter0]

Start->Accesories->Command Prompt

[NiFreak]

I'm an idiot.=P

I opened it with that, but I'm lost from there. Sorry for bugging you about this, I'm just trying to figure this out. xD

Oh, and also, would I be able to hack WFC-disabled tracks into my WFC selection if I do different stuff after a certain step in this?

Sorry for annoying you, still. xD

[dexter0]

You must "cd" into the directory where hte ROM and NDSTool are on your computer (example "cd C:\Hacking"), then you can run ndstool byt typing "ndstool"

While I can't rule it out as being possible, I have been unable to hack offline tracks while hacking Beta Tracks.

[NiFreak]

I think I'll just try this another time. I really have no idea how to do a lot of this stuff. xD

[NiFreak]

Thanks for the guide. ^^ Just one thing. Can you tell me how to do the first part, the dumping the rom and using equipment thing? xD

[dexter0]

The problem is that there are so many different types of equipment I can't support it all. For this hack, I used a NEOFLASH. Your best bet would be to go your device's forums and ask there. A downloaded ROM from the internet should also work.

[NiFreak]

Actually, I was asking because I don't have anything like this but wanna know what I need and how to do it. xD

[Wheeeler]

seems really usefull...jk but cool though

[hi3004]

must get boring there

[Squake426]

That was a gay thing to say...

BTW dexter0, im going to do this tommorow because i dont have the plugins for .exe files on the computer im using. I can't wait!

BTW, how daes the doss files get on screen? Does it just appear there once you click on NDStool.exe?

[XxVirusxX]

This person obviously has down syndrome.

[sm93]

DOn't joke about that, shithole. My nephew has down syndrome.

[LilE]

Shit.

Sucks for those who don't know what to do before step one.

LOL
