PabloMK7	Wow, that looks awesome. But can you add route following? Not only CAME, and cpu/item points to have the line as routes.

PabloMK7	What we mean is cpu and item points have a line between them, like POIT. Also, what about a play button that makes obji with routes move?

Copy the Gateway Launcher.dat found in the gateway sofware to your SD root, go to System Settings-Other Settings-Profile-DS profile. The gateway menu will boot up. Now, select dump system Nand, then shut down your 3DS and copy the generated NAND.bin to a safe place. Now, go to Gateway menu again, and select Format Emunand (NOTE: The Format Emunand option will delete everything on your SD, so make sure to copy everything you don't want to lose to your PC.) Step 3. Go to your PC and delete the Launcher.dat of your SD. Then copy the rxinstaller from rxtools to your DS flashcard, and copy the rxtools.dat file to your SD root. Now, execute cdn_firm.py to get firmware.bin and put it on the SD card, and copy fbi_inject.app of your region to the SD too. If you have or you want to use a emunand version newer or equal to 7.X, you will need to supply a keyX file, which is illegal to share. Launch rxinstaller.nds from your DS flashcard, select your version, shut down and then go to DS profile settings, you will enter to rxtools screen, press R. Step 4. Go to other options and fbi injection to emunand, this will install FBI (a legal cia importer) to Safety information app. The fbi injection will work for the 50% of the consoles, use this tutorial. Now enter rxmode and check if FBI installed correctly. (Note: If you want to update the emunand, install FBI after updating since the update will delete it). Step 5.

In this tutorial I'll be explaining the MSET exploit installation method (4.x consoles and DS flashcard). If you don't have a 4.x console, you should search tutorial for installing rxtools for your version, and for the material you have, then follow this tutorial from Step 5.

Step 1.
Copy the Blue Card Gateway installer found in gateway sofware to the DS mode Flashcard, and lauch it from your 3DS. Then select your region and wait until the 3DS shuts down.

Step 2.
Copy the Gateway Launcher.dat found in the gateway sofware to your SD root, go to System Settings-Other Settings-Profile-DS profile. The gateway menu will boot up.
Now, select dump system Nand, then shut down your 3DS and copy the generated NAND.bin to a safe place. Now, go to Gateway menu again, and select Format Emunand
(NOTE: The Format Emunand option will delete everything on your SD, so make sure to copy everything you don't want to lose to your PC.)

Step 3.
Go to your PC and delete the Launcher.dat of your SD. Then copy the rxinstaller from rxtools to your DS flashcard, and copy the rxtools.dat file to your SD root. Now, execute cdn_firm.py to get firmware.bin and put it on the SD card, and copy fbi_inject.app of your region to the SD too. If you have or you want to use a emunand version newer or equal to 7.X, you will need to supply a keyX file, which is illegal to share. Launch rxinstaller.nds from your DS flashcard, select your version, shut down and then go to DS profile settings, you will enter to rxtools screen, press R.

Step 4.
Go to other options and fbi injection to emunand, this will install FBI (a legal cia importer) to Safety information app. The fbi injection will work for the 50% of the consoles, use this tutorial. Now enter rxmode and check if FBI installed correctly. (Note: If you want to update the emunand, install FBI after updating since the update will delete it).

Just put your rom in .3ds format in the same folder as the root, then run decrypt rom.exe. (Modify the romfs folder as you want now) Run build_rom.bat to build the cia.
After the cia generation is done, copy MK7.cia (which is at out folder), to your SD, run FBI in rxmode and select MK7.cia. After the import, the game will be inside a gift.

Errors.
If you get an error during the cia generation/rom decryption, the error log will be generated inside error folder. I got lots of reports of antivirus blocking the tools, so run as administrator before sending any report. If you want help, post it here in the format: (error filename) - (Error code).

Save
When you install a new hack, or you delete it, the savefile will be erased. To prevent that, do the following:

1-Before importing, go to your SD->Nintendo 3ds->ID0->ID1->title->0000400->0030(6,7,8)00 (For MK7) ->data
2-Copy 0000001.sav outside the SD
3-After installing the CIA, move the copied file back to SD->Nintendo 3ds->ID0->ID1->title->0000400->0030(6,7,8)00 (For MK7) ->data

PabloMK7	PLEASE READ THE FAQ ANDTROUBLESHOOOTING SECTIONS BEFORE POSTING AN ISSUE CTGP-7 - Custom Track Grand Prix 7 CTGP-7 is a modpack for MK7 which includes several Custom Tracks, texture hacks, music hacks... (and Red Yoshi :3). It can be played using two different methods: HANS or NTR CFW. Here are the advantages of each one: - NTR CFW (recommended): Easy install, can enable/disable custom tracks, can update itself without a PC, can go online if you have a prepatched 1.1 copy and you are in lastest firmware. NTR is not a standalone CFW, it works at the same time as your installed CFW, so it only makes a few patches to allow plugins to be loaded to games. In this case, it will install OnionFS that will redirect romfs reads to the SD. Works on versions from 9.0.0 to 11.5 CFW - HANS: Launches from Homebrew Launcher, so no need to install anything else, however, it can't update, nor can disable/enable custom tracks. You can go online if you are in lastest version, or you use this.

(music) 0.9: - Added Banshee Broadwalk 2 - Added Elemental Cave FAQ Q. Which method do you recommend? A. I recommend using NTR CFW, as it can be installed very quickly, updated without the need of a PC and allows some extra features. If you don't have CFW, then use HANS method, since it can be used with Homebrew Launcher. Q. I can't go online because the game tells me to update Mario Kart 7. (HANS method) There are two different MK7 versions, 1.0 and 1.1. You can only go online if your game is in 1.1, even without the eshop 1.1 update patch. Let me explain this, Back when Nintendo released the 1.1 patch in the eshop (about 2012), they stopped producing 1.0 cartridges, and started producing 1.1 cartridges, which had the update patch already applied in the rom itself. I'll refer to those games as prepatched games. (this applies to cartridges and digital versions). Only 1.1 prepatched games will be able to go online, because HANS just doesn't load the eshop update patch. (You may still see the v1.1 label in the multiplayer menu, but that's just because the romhack is based on 1.1 files). If you have bought a 1.0 digital version, backup your save, uninstall the game and download it again from the eshop. This action will install the prepatched 1.1 game. If you have a 1.0 cartridge version, nothing can be done right now. Q. The game crashes at some points. A. This mod is not perfect, and that's why it's still in BETA. If the game crashes during a race, try disabling L2 cache and cpu settings in luma if you are using CFW. Else, please report it here, or if you don't have a github account, send me a PM. Q. Will this mod overwrite my MK7 game? A. Nope, the patches are temporal and will be gone after a reboot. It will however overwrite ghosts if you beat your previous ones in Time Trials. You can backup your save with JKSV. TUTORIAL HANS method (not recommended): In this guide I assume: - You have access to homebrew launcher, and have the latest starter kit copied to your SD. - You have a MK7 copy (physical, digital or installed cia) - You can open zip files. - You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7 :P 0. If you already have a decrypted cia/3ds file the same region and version of your game, or dumped from it, go to step 6. 1. Download braindump, and copy the braindump folder to the 3ds folder in your SD. 2. Get into homebrew launcher and select braindump and press A. It will ask you for a target title, select MK7 and press A. 3. It will start dumping your game, if it fails, power off and try again (may need a few tries). 4. After it has finished dumping, extract your SD and go to your PC. You should see "0000000000030X00.cxi" (X = 6 -> JAP, 7 -> EUR, 8 -> USA) on your SD root. 5. Download official CTGP-7.zip from the link above, and extract it somewhere in your PC. Then copy "0000000000030X00.cxi" to the same folder you extracted CTGP-7.zip 6. Run Build_CTGP7.bat (it may tell you not to execute bat files if you don't trust the source, it's up to you if you trust me or not :P). 7. A black window will open, ask the questions by pressing a number and then enter. (Game region, cia install availability and the method you want to use.) 8. After you have selected hans method in the black window, it will ask you to for your MK7 cia/3ds/cxi filename. Just press 00 and then tab key, so it autocompletes to 0000000000030X00.cxi and press enter. 9. Now it will start building CTGP-7, just wait until it finishes. 10. Go to log folder and open errorlog.txt, if you see any errors, read the troubleshooting section before proceeding. 11. Copy the contents of "output" folder near Build_CTGP7.bat to the root of your SD. 12. Insert the SD in your 3DS, go to the homebrew launcher , you will see CTGP-7 icon, run it. 13. Enjoy. NOTE: YOU DON'T NEED TO RENAME ANY FILES. NTR method (recommended): In this guide I assume: - You have a MK7 copy (physical, digital or installed cia) - You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7 :P - You have a CFW set up. (I recommend Luma3DS) - You can install cias. (I recommend using FBI) 1. Copy the CTGP-7.zip file (use Google to find the CTGP-7 download) to the SD root (the zip should be 200MB more or less). Don't extract it, just place it there. 2. Install the CTGP-7 installer cia (qr code for FBI -> Remote Install -> QR Code): 3. Launch the CTGP-7 installer cia, it will do the rest of the process automatically. (If you get error codes, read the troubleshooting section.) 4. Once it's done, the installer will automatically be replaced by the CTGP-7 manager cia, don't remove it or install the CTGP-7 installer again! 4.1: You may get an error the first time you try to launch CTGP-7, a reboot will fix it. TROUBLESHOOTING HANS: - Black screen after selecting CTGP-7: You may have an old starter kit or hax installed, try updating to lastest starter kit and lastest hax version. (Tested with hax 2.8). NOTE: Rosalina homebrew laucher is not compatible with HANS, use NTR method instead. - Missing target title: It can't detect your MK7 copy, either the game card isn't inserted, or you have selected the wrong region in Build_CTGP7. (Remember that "0000000000030X00.cxi" X = 6 -> JAP, 7 -> EUR, 8 -> USA). - CTGP-7 icon doesn't show:* You haven't copied the files to your SD correctly, make sure you copy the contents inside "output" folder, not the "output" folder itself to the SD card root. Also make sure you are using the most recent homebrew launcher. - The main menu shows version 1.1 but I can't go online: The 1.1 string is there because the mod is based on 1.1 files, however if you have a 1.0 game, you won't be able to go online. Read the FAQ for more info. - There is an error inside errorlog.txt: - Error: "Not decrypted/MK7 game/error extracting romfs" - Solution: The cxi is corrupted (try dumping it again, braindump may create bad dumps sometimes), or it isn't Mario Kart 7. - Error: "Error opening input file" - Solution: This can be because you have entered the wrong cxi filename, or braindump didn't dump the cxi correctly. Repeat from step 2 if this is the case. - Error: "Error creating (foldername)" - Solution: Ignore it. NTR: - Installation error codes: You may get error codes if something goes wrong in the installation, here are their meaning: - Errors 1 to 5: The zip data is corrupted and some files are missing, check you have dowloaded the latest zip and installer. - Error 6: The "CTGP-7_installer.cia" and "CTGP-7.zip" versions do not match, make sure you have downloaded lastest CTGP-7 zip and CTGP-7 installer. - After launching CTGP-7, an error pops up: This may happens sometimes. Just save and reboot and try again. :P - #Unknown firmware: Make sure your system version is compatible with NTR method. If Nintendo has released an update recently, a CTGP-7 update will be released soon to fix the problem. It may also happen because your CFW is outdated. - Infinite 3DS logo when launching MK7 or starts unmodded: Make sure your CFW is updated. Make sure you are not using an outdated CFW such as rxtools. Make sure you are not using an outdated CTGP-7 version. CREDITS DarkFlare: Custom Track Maker & Original Idea. PabloMK7: Custom Track Maker, menu edits, manager app, plugins.

FAQ

Q. Which method do you recommend?
A. I recommend using NTR CFW, as it can be installed very quickly, updated without the need of a PC and allows some extra features. If you don't have CFW, then use HANS method, since it can be used with Homebrew Launcher.

Q. I can't go online because the game tells me to update Mario Kart 7. (HANS method)
There are two different MK7 versions, 1.0 and 1.1. You can only go online if your game is in 1.1, even without the eshop 1.1 update patch. Let me explain this, Back when Nintendo released the 1.1 patch in the eshop (about 2012), they stopped producing 1.0 cartridges, and started producing 1.1 cartridges, which had the update patch already applied in the rom itself. I'll refer to those games as prepatched games. (this applies to cartridges and digital versions). Only 1.1 prepatched games will be able to go online, because HANS just doesn't load the eshop update patch. (You may still see the v1.1 label in the multiplayer menu, but that's just because the romhack is based on 1.1 files). If you have bought a 1.0 digital version, backup your save, uninstall the game and download it again from the eshop. This action will install the prepatched 1.1 game. If you have a 1.0 cartridge version, nothing can be done right now.

Q. The game crashes at some points.
A. This mod is not perfect, and that's why it's still in BETA. If the game crashes during a race, try disabling L2 cache and cpu settings in luma if you are using CFW. Else, please report it here, or if you don't have a github account, send me a PM.

Q. Will this mod overwrite my MK7 game?
A. Nope, the patches are temporal and will be gone after a reboot. It will however overwrite ghosts if you beat your previous ones in Time Trials. You can backup your save with JKSV.

TUTORIAL
HANS method (not recommended):

In this guide I assume:
- You have access to homebrew launcher, and have the latest starter kit copied to your SD.
- You have a MK7 copy (physical, digital or installed cia)
- You can open zip files.
- You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7 :P

0. If you already have a decrypted cia/3ds file the same region and version of your game, or dumped from it, go to step 6.
1. Download braindump, and copy the braindump folder to the 3ds folder in your SD.
2. Get into homebrew launcher and select braindump and press A. It will ask you for a target title, select MK7 and press A.
3. It will start dumping your game, if it fails, power off and try again (may need a few tries).
4. After it has finished dumping, extract your SD and go to your PC. You should see "0000000000030X00.cxi" (X = 6 -> JAP, 7 -> EUR, 8 -> USA) on your SD root.
5. Download official CTGP-7.zip from the link above, and extract it somewhere in your PC. Then copy "0000000000030X00.cxi" to the same folder you extracted CTGP-7.zip
6. Run Build_CTGP7.bat (it may tell you not to execute bat files if you don't trust the source, it's up to you if you trust me or not :P).
7. A black window will open, ask the questions by pressing a number and then enter. (Game region, cia install availability and the method you want to use.)
8. After you have selected hans method in the black window, it will ask you to for your MK7 cia/3ds/cxi filename. Just press 00 and then tab key, so it autocompletes to 0000000000030X00.cxi and press enter.
9. Now it will start building CTGP-7, just wait until it finishes.
10. Go to log folder and open errorlog.txt, if you see any errors, read the troubleshooting section before proceeding.
11. Copy the contents of "output" folder near Build_CTGP7.bat to the root of your SD.
12. Insert the SD in your 3DS, go to the homebrew launcher , you will see CTGP-7 icon, run it.
13. Enjoy.

NOTE: YOU DON'T NEED TO RENAME ANY FILES.

NTR method (recommended):

In this guide I assume:
- You have a MK7 copy (physical, digital or installed cia)
- You know that MK7 means Mario Kart 7 :P
- You have a CFW set up. (I recommend Luma3DS)
- You can install cias. (I recommend using FBI)

1. Copy the CTGP-7.zip file (use Google to find the CTGP-7 download) to the SD root (the zip should be 200MB more or less). Don't extract it, just place it there.
2. Install the CTGP-7 installer cia (qr code for FBI -> Remote Install -> QR Code):

3. Launch the CTGP-7 installer cia, it will do the rest of the process automatically. (If you get error codes, read the troubleshooting section.)
4. Once it's done, the installer will automatically be replaced by the CTGP-7 manager cia, don't remove it or install the CTGP-7 installer again!
4.1: You may get an error the first time you try to launch CTGP-7, a reboot will fix it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

HANS:

- Black screen after selecting CTGP-7: You may have an old starter kit or *hax installed, try updating to lastest starter kit and lastest *hax version. (Tested with *hax 2.8). NOTE: Rosalina homebrew laucher is not compatible with HANS, use NTR method instead.

- Missing target title: It can't detect your MK7 copy, either the game card isn't inserted, or you have selected the wrong region in Build_CTGP7. (Remember that "0000000000030X00.cxi" X = 6 -> JAP, 7 -> EUR, 8 -> USA).

- CTGP-7 icon doesn't show: You haven't copied the files to your SD correctly, make sure you copy the contents inside "output" folder, not the "output" folder itself to the SD card root. Also make sure you are using the most recent homebrew launcher.

- The main menu shows version 1.1 but I can't go online: The 1.1 string is there because the mod is based on 1.1 files, however if you have a 1.0 game, you won't be able to go online. Read the FAQ for more info.

- There is an error inside errorlog.txt:

- Error: "Not decrypted/MK7 game/error extracting romfs"
- Solution: The cxi is corrupted (try dumping it again, braindump may create bad dumps sometimes), or it isn't Mario Kart 7.

- Error: "Error opening input file"
- Solution: This can be because you have entered the wrong cxi filename, or braindump didn't dump the cxi correctly. Repeat from step 2 if this is the case.

- Error: "Error creating (foldername)"
- Solution: Ignore it.

NTR:
- Installation error codes:
You may get error codes if something goes wrong in the installation, here are their meaning:

- Errors 1 to 5: The zip data is corrupted and some files are missing, check you have dowloaded the latest zip and installer.
- Error 6: The "CTGP-7_installer.cia" and "CTGP-7.zip" versions do not match, make sure you have downloaded lastest CTGP-7 zip and CTGP-7 installer.

- After launching CTGP-7, an error pops up: This may happens sometimes. Just save and reboot and try again. :P

- #Unknown firmware: Make sure your system version is compatible with NTR method. If Nintendo has released an update recently, a CTGP-7 update will be released soon to fix the problem. It may also happen because your CFW is outdated.

- Infinite 3DS logo when launching MK7 or starts unmodded: Make sure your CFW is updated. Make sure you are not using an outdated CFW such as rxtools. Make sure you are not using an outdated CTGP-7 version.

Same with cia, it has several cxi. (Main, with game data; download play and update data). In order to make the game work entirely, you must pack them all.

Thread: [HELP] I somehow corrupted the Firmware for NDS games? [FIXED]

Author

Posted on 2016/12/29

PabloMK7

You cannot use that method on a 3ds. The firmware you loaded tries to read the DS SRAM which the 3ds doesn't have, thinking it doesn't have any data and asks the time/user/calibration/etc.
Try editing the DS profile settings in the 3ds system settings, so maybe it'll fix up itself. If that doesn't work, the next best solution is formatting the 3ds. Maybe there is a tool that can fix that sort of corruption, but I don't know any.

OnionFS is a fork of layeredfs plugin for NTR CFW made by cell9 that redirects romfs and code access to the SD card, useful for game mods. For newbies, it is something similar to the famous hans homebrew app, but has some advantages. It works with any game, even if there is an update patch installed. For romfs redirection, you only need to put in your SD card the modified files, not the whole romfs directory nor a romfs.bin/game.romfs file.

Compatibility:

The following games won't work with OnionFS:

- Super Smash Bros. (Won't work on N3DS, O3DS)

SaltySD works with that game, use it instead.

Features:

- Redirects romfs access. (optional)
- Redirects code.bin. (optional)
- Applies ips patches. (optional)
- Should work with any game that already works with layeredfs.
- Works even if there is an update patch installed, the update files will also be redirected.
- Optional custom redirection path.

Default redirection paths:

- Extracted romfs (only modified files): "SD :/OnionFS/(titleID)/romfs/"
- code.bin: "SD :/OnionFS/(titleID)/code.bin"
- code.ips: "SD :/OnionFS/(titleID)/code.ips"

Use 3dsdb to get the game TID.

Changing SD redirection path:

To change the redirection path, use the included python script:

OnionFS_pathchange.py

For example: SD :/folder/subfolder/

OnionFS_pathchange.py OnionFS.plg folder/subfolder

In the above example, the new paths would be SD :/folder/subfolder/(romfs/, code.bin, code.ips).

Debug mode:

If you are having issues, you can use OnionFS_debug.plg to output the plugin log to a file: SD :/OnionFS.log. The information given by the plugin may help you fixing what's wrong. It's not recommended to use the debug plugin for normal use as it may be slower.

Installing:

1. Download the OnionFS.plg and copy it to SD :/plugin/.
2. (Optional) Place only the modified files in their respective folders inside SD :/OnionFS/(titleID)/romfs/.
3. (Optional) Place your custom code.bin at SD :/OnionFS/(titleID)/code.bin.
4. (Optional) Place the code.ips patch at SD :/OnionFS/(titleID)/code.ips.
5. Install and boot NTR CFW (I recommend using BootNTR Selector).
6. Enjoy. :)

Thread: OnionFS for NTR CFW

PabloMK7	Nice work! Only to bad I don't have NTR CFW, so I can't give it a try, but it's still a nice thing to have. Remember that NTR CFW is just a cia and runs on top of other CFW. (Unless the reason you can't use it is because you only own a dev unit)

There are already some minor asm hacks. However, with the power of NTR plugins we can do much better things than asm. (For example, OnionFS is nothing more than an asm hack that replaces the game open file function with a custom one). If enough research is made, sure it will be possible to do an asm as big as mkwii, but since there is much less interest in MK7, it will take a lot to be made, or just won't be made at all. (I cannot do it myself because lack of knowledge).

PabloMK7	Obviusly, if you add more code it will take more time to be executed. But the same will happen with asm hacks. With plugins you can hook into game functions so your function will get executed from the plugin instead of the game, (asm jump).

Don't remove the transparency! The alpha channel is treated as transparency by image editors, but in reality, it is an specular map. In specular maps, the "transparent" or white parts will allow light to be reflected from the model, while "less/non transparent" or grey/black parts will allow less/no light to be reflected. You can see the alpha channel by going the the channels tab and disabling RGB.

Author	Posted on 2017/08/06
PabloMK7	@PabloMK7 The "race music," is the music you hear when racing in a track. Like how in Toad Circuit your going to hear the Toad Circuit theme. I still don't understand your question. Do you mean you want which tracks correspond to which music files? In that case you only have to look inside the romfs.

PabloMK7	Hey there! I don't think there are more shortcuts looking at the checkpoints. Also I could just send you an screenshot but I think it's better you get the tools so you can take a more detailed look. If you have the MK7 romfs you can use EveryFileExplorer to extract the kmp and then use KMP Expander to view it.
