Tilesets? This game is 3D, so it uses textures and models.

Those whacky wavy mushrooms things are likely sprites and may therefore be 3D (seeing as pretty much all of the sprites are now 3D models).

I don't think there's anything 3D in the game besides Mario 'n' Luigi.

Please, don't speak of things like you know what you're talking about, when it's painfully obvious to anyone with half a functional brain cell that you're wrong.

There is *no* digital computer on the face of this earth that doesn't use ASM: ASM is simply mnemonics for binary/hex opcodes, a.k.a., machine code. It's easier to write ASM than to manually input the binary/hex, but anything recent is written in a high level language like C, which, when compiled, is turned into (Gasp!) machine code.

Unless the DS is some kind of device that runs on MAGIC UNICORN HORN POWDER, in which case, my respect for Nintendo has grown by leaps and bounds, 'cause they're wizards.

Alright, I might not exactly be a regular here, but you people need to have some respect for your fellow members. Anyone attempting ROM hacking or reverse-engineering is an ally.

People don't dig into eachother like this in homebrew programming communities, and there are more reasons than immature hacks that they see reverse-engineering communities as immature.

Sorry about the off-topic post, but it needs to be said.

Exactly!
This forum has alot of rude people. Like when I told about my Super Mario 64 DS Hacking, they started flaming me. I mean whats their problem, anyway...

What you need to start hacking:

You'll need a Passme and a device that boots commercial ds roms (supercard, m3, some flash cards)

What the supercard and M3 does is the same as a normal flash card except that the roms or files are on a compact flash card which you can plug in in the supercard or m3. This is much quicker to load roms.

The passme allows the supercard or whatever to boot DS CODE. If you don't have a passme, then you are limited to only booting GBA CODE which does not allow you to have touch input, dual screens etc.

Now, I know you guys don't care about dumping roms as no one will so lets take it that you downloaded a DS Rom. Ds roms end with the file extention .NDS and sometimes homebrew code can be .gba.ds but it has to be .NDS.

Now go download a tool called ndstool.exe which can be found at darkfader's site. Now find out how to extract the files by just loading ndstool.exe. Make sure you extract everything. depending on where you extracted it, you can now view the files. Arm9.bin, Arm7.bin and the overlay folder is the codeing of the rom. The data folder contains images etc and NO, they are not in bmp format. Nothing is viewable, so you'll need to hex these things.

Once your finished with it, compile it with ndstool.exe and you should have a new rom

Upload it to your device and it should boot!
