Applying custom tracks problem

nohax3win When applying certain custom tracks to Mario Kart DS in EFE, it is listed as a default file instead of an archive. When I try loading the track in Mario Kart DS, the game crashes. Ermii Kart DS somehow doesn't have that problem, with no track archives, but uses default files instead. Help!

SGC Yellow No MKDS Hacks have that issue, EKDS isn't a special case when it comes to inserting tracks without crashing, it sounds like you're importing the tracks the wrong way.
The tracks should be in "example_course.carc" files, and the textures for the tracks should be in "example_courseTex.carc"

Can you give some screenshots?

By the way, if you're trying to use tracks from EKDS in an MKDS ROM, you can't because the files in EKDS Beta 1 are encrypted,
they will not work in MKDS if they are from EKDS Beta 1, I repeat, they are encrypted, and we cannot help you with that.

Oh. I think there isn't a decryption tool, but is there?

SGC Yellow There is no decryption tool, and if there is one, nobody except the EKDS team has it, you're out of luck, the encryption they used is custom, as far as I know.
There is no way to use tracks from EKDS beta 1.

nohax3win Oh well. All I wanted was to use Wii and 3DS tracks in DS. I own those games anyway.

Miles Ermiiworth If you want to use your own CTs, you can use a vanilla MKDS ROM. EKDS isn't suited for this.

Edit: I re-read your first post, I don't understand what you're trying to do lol

SGC Yellow He wanted to use the Wii, and 3DS Retro tracks from EKDS in MKDS, it sounds like.
Guess we might as well lock this thread, this will come in handy if we ever see anyone with a problem like the again.
