Originally posted by PrincessPeach Yeah. You know, except it isn't. The GBA sound hardware is FAR superior to the SPC700 in so many ways, and I have no idea why everyone keeps thinking otherwise. As for having an FXII..um, again, no. The super FXII was a chip used in some SNES games. While the GBA may be able to perform similar features to one, it is severly lacking in many areas there. For one, neatly resizing sprites dynamically, rotating sprites, etc...it all looks really messy and sometimes sloppy on the GBA (look at the hearts in SMA1 or for a less noticeable exaple, the chomp rock in Yoshi's Island). So uh...where did you get your information exactly?  |

| Hacked e-Level decompressor released! (C language source included)
It will show some information while decompressing. But I can't figure out yet how the compression work.  |

| We never did figure out how to recompress/reencrypt, I did end up making a ROM hack that read raw/lz77 though (And also one that did from the ROM), just simple ASM hacks to achieve that stuck in the level loading routines. All my GBA stuff is scattered everywhere, but I did some looking around for my e4 (as i call it, short for e-card Levels SMA4 ) findings from years ago...
Apologies if this data is redundant from anything found above ^^ Also I greatly apologise for the messiness in this and note that my objects/sprites may be way off and have weird-ass descriptions, I usually don't release data in a loose way like this. There should be enough room in the header for 3-4 level (or I sometimes refer to them as 'scenes') definitions, can't remember. (LONG POST COMING) ECL (e-Card Level) - Uncompressed Header Bytes 0 - e Coin Number (0 for no e Coin) 1 - A Coin Count (updated on menu when level played at least once) 2 - Level Set (doesn't affect) 3 - Level Number (doesn't affect) 4 - Level Icon? (doesn't affect) 14-3F - data pointers If the level has an e Coin: 40-5F - e Coin Palette 60-17F - e Coin GFX After the header is the level name (updated on menu when level played at least once) Must end Level name with FF, then you can put your level data after that. data pointers: for each level 0 - Object Data 1 - ECL Exclusive Header data (20h) 2 - Scene-Link Data (or pipe exits/doors/etc, as some of you might call it) 3 - Sprite Data 4 - Block-Path Data (or eat/create data, for you LM people) 5 - Auto-Scroll Data Object Data: level header (not the ECL Exclusive one) e-card engine: ???? ???? xL xx Sx ZG xx AD BB x = ignored L = length of level (pages) (note a lot of these are taken directly from SMB3) S - scroll settings (MSb makes pipe exit level) 0 - horizontal scroll up on flying 1 - vertical scrolling A 2 - free scroll 3 - vertical scrolling B 4 - horizontal only A 5 - vertical scrolling C 6 - horizontal only B 7 - vertical scrolling D Z - level entry action 0 - none 2 - sliding 4 - pipe up 5 - pipe down 8 - pipe left A - pipe up C - grabbing ship anchor E - ship autoscroll G - graphics set 0 - *Mario 1 - Plain 2 - Fortress 3 - Underground A 4 - Sky 5 - Pipe/Water A (Pirahna Plant) 6 - Pipe/Water B (Water) 7 - Mushroom House (A) 8 - Pipe/Water C (Pipe) 9 - Desert A - Ship B - Giant C - Ice D - Clouds E - Underground B F - Spade Bonus Room 10 - Spade Bonus 11 - Mushroom House B 12 - Pipe/Water D 13 - Hills 14 - Plains 2 15 - Tank 16 - Castle 17 - *Mario 2 18 - *Animated A 19 - *Animated B 1A - *Animated C 1B - *Animated D 1C - *Animated P-Switch 1D - *Animated E 1E - *Font 1F - *Animated F A - extra background/overlay palette D - extra background/overlay 0 - no overlay 1 - shade 2 - no overlay 2 3 - low cloud 4 - no overlay 3 5 - semishade 6 - semishade 2 7 - shade 2 8 - thin clouds overlay + mist 9 - no overlay 4 A - no overlay 5 B - thin clouds over background C - no overlay 6 D - tide water overlay E - no overlay 7 F - no overlay 8 BB - background 00 - no background 01 - sea weed 02 - dark scrolling clouds and lightning/thunder 03 - inside airship and lightning/thunder 04 - cave 05 - plains 06 - columns 07 - fortress outdoors 08 - snow trees 09 - pipe network 0A - green/yellow hills 0B - dark red rocks (little vegetation) 0C - big hills 0D - sandy desert 0E - pyramids 0F - hills over the clouds 10 - castle walls and bars 11 - volcanoes 12 - clouds 13 - bonus (music) 14 - shiny ice 15 - dark red rocks (more vegetation) 16 - waterfalls 17 - mushroom house 18 - nothing 19 - pyramids with underground brick section 1A - plains with ground background 1B - bowser's lair 1C - dark vegetation 1D - dark hills 1E - just below the clouds 1F - glowing red castle walls and bars 20 - mario bros brick background 21 - underwater seaweed/rock 2 22 - bowser's lair 2 23 - dark scrolling clouds 24 - inside airship 25 - underwater seaweed/rock 3 26 - underwater rocks and red plants 27 - orange clouds 28 - desert bricks 29 - castle bricks with bowser portrait 2A - starry night sky 2B - castle walls and bars 2 2C - boo house with windows 2D - boo house 2E - castle bricks 2F - weird balls 30 - mushrooms stars and flowers (bonus) 31 - rainbow bricks (bonus) 32 - blue stars (bonus) 33 - green, lavender and cyan blocks 34 - cave 2 35 - pipe network 2 36 - many hills 37 - dark red rocks 3 38 - hills above the clouds 2 39 - blue minihills above the clouds 3A - castle walls 3B - long high waterfalls 3C - glowing red castle walls 3D - dark vegetation 2 3E - long high waterfalls 2 3F - very high waterfalls -- Object data, see object lists below e-level New Exclusive Header Data: 0 - Screen Y boundary (low) 2 - 4 - ? 6 - ? 8 - player Y start 9 - player X start A - screen Y start B - C - Object Set E - Music 10-1F - ?

| now here is a question hackers may be able to find the answer to. Is there any purpose for the coin slots in the wall of the castle in the E-level? The save game that has more E-levels still do not have enough levels with those coins in them so you still come up incomplete. If you got some rom addresses to activate them please share them. | |||

| The compression type is an LZ variant. There are two encrypted streams. The first stream stores the Literals and repeat runs, in the range of 0x000 to 0x1FF. Values 0x00 to 0xFF are literals, and taken as is. Values 0x100-0x1FF are repeats. When one of these are encountered, 0xFD is subtracted from that value, and the offset stream gets decoded.
The offset stream ranges are 0x000-0x1FF if Compression level is 0, or 0x000-0xFFF if compression level is 1. A value of 0 decoded from this stream means look back 1 byte, and 0x1FF (or 0xFFF) means look back 0x200 (of 0x1000) bytes in the previously decompressed data. The encryption is the only thing I have not figured out. The basic Idea though, is you compress the data first, maintaining both of the data streams. After that, you then encrypt both streams. The source code to a decompressor I have written myself can be found at http://phpfi.com/86449 |

| Bump, but can you edit e-reader levels using a Save State like the .sgm file on the Visualboy Advance. If so then what offset should I go for both Offset and Sprites for every single e-reader level in a Save State. | |||

| For all of us who have flash carts (well, at least I do!), using this information would be awesome, we could play awesome hacks on a portable system (well, besides PocketNES and its bugs in SMB3 and some of the more advanced hacks (Mario Adventure) don't work at all). For starters, it would be neat to modify the levels to once again match the originals (eg, the first obvious change is that the first pihrana in World 1-1 doesn't spit fire). | |||

| One annoying thing is the e-level engine is somewhat different to the engine used for the SMB3 levels. A bit of converting has to be done to transfer levels between...also there are lost levels (the "lost levels" from the original SMB3), which are still partly converted from their SMB3 form, so they don't work really well...if at all, however they are referenced in the huge SMB3 level pointer table.
And yes, I can too confirm that Mario Adventure works on PocketNES. 
If you create an ASM hack that will load e-levels from the ROM, or use a different compression (such as LZ77 only), you should be right for toying with the level data (using the info I posted above). I have these..all in unsorted text files, so once I figure out what the hell is what I'll put up the source and possibly an IPS too. I also had one hack where it would load the level from a tilemap of Map16 tiles. (As well as an editor for this), except the problem with these levels, not only are they huge (even with RLE compression), but objects which have sprites as part of their placement routine (such as flag poles, etc), won't operate properly (the flag sprite won't appear, for example). |
