It should spit BIN e-Reader file. It's very easy to do that. ____________________ My Website on Neocities |

NO$GBA supports BIN files...
And VBA e-Reader can convert BIN to RAW. ____________________ My Website on Neocities |

Managed to finally apply the translated names over to the actual e-reader level card data. These are located on http://caitsith2.com/ereader/sma4.htm
It was the lack of a working compressor that had proven to be the initial road block from doing that. |

Yet another thing I have managed to do, deals with the European version of the game. It seems that Nintendo did have plans at one point to release an European e-reader, but pulled the plug on that. Instead of outright removing the code from the European SMA4, they just disabled it, presumably with a button code way of enabling it. (can't prove that yet.)
Of course, even with it enabled, European SMA4 will not communicate with the US e-reader, just like US sma4 won't communicate with Japanese e-reader. Second, a card loader had been extracted from the game, and turned into a save. Unfortunately, card region checking is done by both the e-reader, locking out ALL but its own region, and by the loader, also locking out all but its own region. This means if you do dump the loader from one e-reader, and put it on an out of region e-reader, That out of region e-reader will pass on the card to the loader, but now the loader is going to reject the card as being out of region. Next, the game won't communicate with its region loader either. However, that proves to be very trivial to patch. As it turns out, The European version, has 5 different card loaders built in, one for each language the game is playable in. The loader on the e-reader, has to match the language selected. Also trivial, just patch it once, make a save, patch it for the next language, make a save. End result, is in the same place is the readable translated named cards, is a pack for loading onto an european sma4 and us e-reader. The full thing nintendo locked the europeans out of, has been completely unlocked. |

Posted by caitsith2 just so you know, some of those cards marked as unreleased were definitely released. i own at least half of them. unless you mean something else by unreleased. |

Posted by Bond697 What I meant by unreleased, is unreleased officially in the North American region. 100% of the SMA4 cards were officially unreleased in the European region, and 100% of them were officially released in the Japan region, as far as the official cards go. |

so, nintendo released them, but unofficially? i'm in connecticut and bought the 3 packs of cards i got in massachusetts while i was in college.
i'm just saying, a lot of those cards in the unreleased directory were not unreleased in the us/na. |

Can you show me pictures of those cards then, as proof of them having been released?
Anyways, I went and did a more detailed character map, used by US/EU version of SMA4, for level names. (Jap version uses shift-jis as far as I know.)

I brokened SMA4 save. Results aren't even are good...
No comment... I can't choose any menu command, because cursor goes crazy and pressing A only says OK sound. (And I used save-converter to have good checksum) I'm not sure if these e-reader levels exists really, because I can't choose them. I only know that's save which I corrupted was fully CLEAN (I only runned game and closed emulator). I can send save file to prove this... (brokeing save file? something NEW!) |

You know, you don't need to send the save file, if you did that on the Europe version of the game, use my save file (it's on caitsith2's website), which have working Level Card access. ____________________ My Website on Neocities |
