Unless i'm wrong (yeah, after a while, i kind of forgot what the last version can do except reading level cards ^^), Solar Magic Advance 0.33 Beta 3 can edit saves.
NO$GBA's Saves are compressed, and my editor doesn't support it.

Also, about Solar Magic Advance, now as part of the Solar Core project, it's on hiatus for a while.

NO$GBA's SNA save states are compressed, but only if you choose so.
You can set the save state format to uncompressed in the NO$GBA.ini included with the program.

I think it might be able to somehow, but I can't figure it out at all....in the e-cards menu, there is Level cards SAV menu or something but I can't figure that out. And whenever I transfer the .sav to my card, it will load up on my DS, but will say "reading..." for while then delete everything and start me out with a new sav. transfering (and renaming) the snapshot gives me an error on my DS. would it work on VBA?

open you no$gba.ini and find

SAV/SNA File Format == Compress


change it to

SAV/SNA File Format == Raw


this work for transfer sav file from no$gba to vba

Yes, CSK2E have Mad Dash :0


the actual rare "Mad Dash" e-level card or any dotcode file containing the Mad Dash level? (NOT video footage of the level). that's what i'm really asking for.

To be honest with you, I think this project is all but dead in the water.

Especially since you had to bump this thread by just shy of seven months. None of the guys have really been around here since then.

I'm not sure if you'll get a response that will help you.

Sadly It does seem as though interest in SMA4 hacking has diminished. Though to be honest I had just started work on a new version of my e-level editor/maker hoping to release a testing version sometime this summer.

I've been doing testing with it, but have a lot to sort through before a release.

From what i saw in the video 14159 posted, the level creator seems to be coming along quite nicely. If all goes well, you might just be able to create mad dash from scratch

Maybe he has got the e-level card...
he hasn't say anything about this

@Zowayix :

All e-Reader Levels Jap


that's good, eddine67.
except that all the ace coins in the e-reader levels have been collected and the all the levels there are completed (and with all max high scores), which pretty much ruins all the fun.

how about putting up another jpn sma4 sav file with all e-reader levels that are unfinished or not yet played but are still listed AND with "0" ace coins collected?

I was also hoping Kiiro would upload that japanese card e-reader sav file that has the jpn sma4 link data on a site, like what he mentioned in this youtube video about a year ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NppeqO6NNI

hope he can find a way to come back here and continue with his SMA4 editor.

I'm still here, i'm just working on another project.

If you want all e-Reader levels to be unfinished, use sma4savtool (or very last version of Solar Magic Advance).
About the JPN SMA4 e-Reader Loader, i don't plan on uploading it soon, mostly because i'm busy.

ok. I did had plans of making my own eCard level more than a year ago but now I've rekindled some interest lately.

quick question: does sma4savtool work with JPN SMA4 SAV files? I know it also works with the EUR & USA SMA4 sav files.

it'll also be nice if purplebridge001 can improve his sma4savtool program so that the power-up switch cards can also be inserted or removed from SMA4 save files, not just adding/removing world-e levels onto them.

another reason why I'm after the JPN SMA4 e-Reader Loader: to load power-up switch cards, not just add e-level cards into world-e. playing all the world-e levels is HALF the fun. activating several power-up switch cards is the other half.

though I do have some SMA4 sav files (USA & EUR versions) that have all world-e levels (minus the Mad Dash level of course) AND several power-up switch cards activated. I may share them someday when I have more time.

Well, here:

But all things you said are supported in the last version of Solar Magic Advance:

It never will. Get caitsith2 and Firefly Tools for that.

What you need to make an editor:
  • Knowledge of how the game works
  • Programming knowledge
  • Time
  • Effort

No, I have never made an editor for anything.
But that is how you would make such an editor, by knowing how the game works.

Now back on topic.
