Yes, I can test and make videos. Stuff like this was the whole purpose of me releasing the decryptor.

 

[Huntereb]

Sounds fun, count me in.

 

[Hiccup]

Only sprites and objects can be saved right now, I should have said. You may have to wait a while before a patch can be made. I'll add you to a list on the first post.

 

[Reecey]

Yeah count me in I'm always up for helping a fellow neighbour

Also, if your team ends up developing any tools to extract NSMB2 specific file types it would be really nice if you could help contribute to http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-every-file-explorer.373615/

NSMB2 is as probably as generic as you can get really

Reggie Next! supports opening the level and tileset files inside the RARC archives which EFE supports.

The source for Reggie! Next is available on GitHub, I expect that RoadRunnerWMC would not mind if Gericom took a look at it if he asked nicely.

I'd like to try it out. Seems like I got a 3DS at the perfect time...

 

[DaMueller]

I can help too count me in

 

[gudenau]

I would, but can not at the moment. :-(

 

[Hiccup]

Thanks for the positive reactions/volunteering! BTW: You don't need a capture card, you could just a camera, but one would be nice (e.g. for sprite images in the editor.

Sign me up.

 

[Huntereb]

I can dump framebuffers.

Oh yeah... Me too!

i was actually looking into the NSMB2 levels (as a big nooby idiot that is) had some fun switching them around which effects coin rush mode allowing custom coin rush setups

 

[blunt420force]

I would like to test, as well as make some videos

 

[pastaconsumer]

I find this interesting! I would love to try!

 

[Aaron007]

Me too!

 

[I pwned U!]

I would enjoy helping! Will the editor also allow editing and custom levels for the coin rush DLC?

 

[Hiccup]

They use the exact same format, so if the DLC can be repacked and played, then yeah.

The first custom level should be ready soon.
