Hey all, I've been lurking around here gaining lots of insight. After finishing the save will all the e-reader levels, I started to use some tools I found (I think I found them on here, the sma4savtool) and I've had some hex editing fun.

The World-e castle does indeed have 3 floors. If you use edit the levels with the e-Coins and move them to another spot in the castle, you can see the other floors. Although, after doing this, the music goes wonky, but oh well.

I tried an experiment this morning. I duplicated the e-Coin levels, changing the coin's spot in the castle, level ids and adding a new character to the level name. After playing through some of my edited levels, I discovered that getting an e-Coin from a duplicated level counts as getting the coin from the original level.

When I get home from school, I'm going to try to edit the e-Coin gfx to trick the game into thinking its a new one, then test if I can force it into the castle. My end goal is to fill all 24 frames and see what happens. (Maybe nothing, maybe something cool) I've been using a hex editor as I wait for progress on Kiiro's Solar Magic project. Solar Magic Advance is a useful level viewer, so thanks for your hard work.

Sorry for the wall of text, I'll post an update when I have it.

Update: Almost done making Solar Magic Advance save things. I can edit the e-Coin data perfectly, but the rest of the level data gets erased. Hopefully I'll have it done withing a few days.

This has been a hard and fun thing to work on.

It would seem that the game will allow every level (excluding #28) to be duplicated once and then let you get another e-Coin. Right now, I'm at 15. A second duplicate of a level will not allow a coin to be collected again. I think at this point my only option is to make whole new levels, which is going to be incredibly complicated.

Anyone who has made new levels before, if you can give me some insight on how to do this, I would appreciate it.

Ok, it's finally done. All 24 frames in the castle are full with some weird, ugly coins. Nothing happens. My e-Levels say 24/25 coins, but that's just a small oversight in my hex editing efforts. I have about 6 copies of "Vegetable Volley" all called "e-Coin battles".

This topic seems a little dead.

Thanks to the help of my brilliant programming teacher, I have managed to add a save feature to Solar Magic Advance; when you change the e-Coin data, you can actually save the changes into the level!

I've been doing lots of that. Went through the entire 256 music block.

Yep. I have extensive notes. The only thing I'm not the best at is duplicating levels and making the game think there is another e-Coin.

Thanks, but I already have all of those. Do you have a link to that hacking video of yours?

Those are really well done! And you did them all with just hex editing?!

Hex editing tools, since they are universal.
