NSMB2 editor upcoming -- CoinKiller

StapleButter shameless advertising



The upcoming NSMB2 editor will likely be similar to Reggie! in functionality, interface, whatnot. First versions will operate on raw files (.3ds or .cia), further versions may also work on individual game files à la Reggie!. Reason is that for now, given the lack of a 3DS Riivolution-like, this will be the easiest way to test levels. (and honestly with how much of a pain it is to make a Riivo-like, it's better off as a part of a CFW, like in the NTR CFW)



It's also not based on any Reggie! fork, it's something fresh instead. Source code!




but I don't have a Gateway

Ninjhax can be used to launch CFWs or whatever that can run unsigned CIA files. Or maybe Citra can run NSMB2. Rest assured that there is a way out of this shit. Maybe it's not convenient for you, but there's a way out.



why not merge efforts with Reggie! NSMB2 or whatever it's called

I don't think Python is the right language for building this kind of project. Otherwise I'd gladly join forces. I also want to have some fun, too! We haven't been writing new level editors in ages nowadays.



.3ds? CIA? Gateway? but that's working in favor of piracy

Quite honestly, with how fucked up the 3DS scene is, I don't really care about piracy. Not like this project would have an impact on piracy or overall cause Nintendo to go bankrupt.

And even if a 3DS Riivo-like existed, you still couldn't prevent piracy. On the Wii, it's convenient because you just have to require the original disc (although you can use a modchip and a burned disc, but that's more involved than what the average pirate can afford). But on the 3DS, there's no point when you have things like Gateway or ability to install any title to the system by converting it to a CIA. Bascially, any efforts at preventing piracy are futile.

I'm not in favor of piracy, I just keep my time and energy for what makes sense.



whatever else

Just post. The thread is here to collect opinions, thoughts, whatnot, that could affect the editor's building and make it the most awesome software of 2015. We want to hear you!

TheZoroark007 Finally another NSMB2 editor! Does this support entrance/zone editing? These two are the reason I don't use Reggie! anymore since I would really need them!

If I can help you, just ask me! I have a Gateway andwould be proud to test some stuff for ypu!
