Inserting code hacks into NSMB breaks the rom (any rom hacks even those provided as example) | NSMB Central | Page 1

Exactly what the title says. When I try to run the rom on Desmume, only a white screen appears.
Didn't happen before but now they do and I don't actually know what might be causing that because before it wouldn't happen.

I used a clean NSMB rom and the instant boot script, just to make sure I'm not drawing wrong conclusions.
I was using Fireflower to build roms with added files, but that wasn't an issue since the rom was working, so it can't be because of that. And now without Fireflower it still doesn't work.

#

And now when I open the rom with NSMB, it says inedx out of array's range or smth

#

use an older version of nsmbe for that, and use melonds

#

desmume is outdated

#

light cipher desmume is outdated

It doesn't matter tho, does it? Why shouldn't it work on desmume, especially when it was just hours ago

#

and I don't want to use an older version of NSMBe too

light cipher Mar 20, 2024, 9:11 PM

#

desmume doesnt really support modded stuff that well i think

#

just try melonds first

#

the same thing happens when you open newer in the new version of nsmbe

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:12 PM

#

Tried 5.4 instead of 5.4.1 and it still doesn't work

#

can't go any longer because no support for NCPatcher

Not true, desmume is worse than melonds but there is no reason for the code hacks not to work and I have pointed out that the roms suddenly acn't be opened again with NSMBe

light cipher Mar 20, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

thats what happens for some reason when certain files are modified in the romfs for the brand new one, use an older build

distant shuttle Mar 20, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

i have no idea what is causing this

#

but it might have to do with ncpatcher, or something related to what patches the rom, since you tried with a clean rom

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

I think it has something to do with building the rom, I might have tried to build the rom accidentally in the wrong folder instead of the fireflower folder

#

in the template folder

distant shuttle Mar 20, 2024, 9:19 PM

#

ok

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:24 PM

#

or maybe because of the backup folder that I moved out of the template folder temporarily

distant shuttle Mar 20, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

i think you might need to remove the backup folder and try again with a clean rom

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

No, it can be removed because of "safety problems" as pointed out on github

oak bridge Mar 20, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

also the instant boot patch can cause some problems

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

so moving it out might have caused the break of NCPatcher?

oak bridge Mar 20, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

what version of ncp are you using?

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

oak bridge also the instant boot patch can cause some problems

it was working before tho

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

oak bridge what version of ncp are you using?

it should be the newest but is there a way to check

oak bridge Mar 20, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

i dont think so

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

oak bridge also the instant boot patch can cause some problems

tried a different one, the ending script with a clean rom doesn't work either

oak bridge Mar 20, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

I remember 1.0 was broken

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

it was working 1-2 hours ago, it just now happened not to work

#

I might have to set up the whole template again

oak bridge Mar 20, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

ok try this

#

grab a clean rom, delete the build and the backup folder

#

then try compiling again

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

That fixed it

#

Weird

#

@oak bridge thanks, so I basically just had to delete the build and backup folder

oak bridge Mar 20, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

yeah

#

otherwise the patches keep stacking and it becomes a mess

wary trail Mar 20, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

moving the build folder out, very likely caused it because I was still using the backup folder or whatever

oak bridge Mar 20, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

the backup folder is a claen version of all the overlays

#

oh yeah, a tip for anybody whos is using hex edits, if you edit the file in the backup folder too, the hex edit should stay applied

distant shuttle Mar 20, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

oak bridge oh yeah, a tip for anybody whos is using hex edits, if you edit the file in the ...

oh wait thats cool

#

thanks!

I used DeSmuME for the mods I did

#

And MelonDS for multiplayer testing
