Newer Super Mario Bros Ds

Newer DS is a mod of New Super Mario Bros. that sets Mario out on an all-new adventure. It is a sequel to Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii, using assets and ideas from it, while keeping it somewhat fresh and taking advantage of mechanics in New Super Mario Bros. DS. Originally meant to just be a level and tileset hack, the game is now much more customized.

Features

  • 80 all-new levels on 8 world maps.
  • Original and ported graphics and sounds.
  • The return of a classic power-up.
  • New and updated game mechanics.
  • A brand-new soundtrack featuring old and new hits.

Installation

Requirements:

  • An untrimmed New Super Mario Bros. ROM (Japan, US, EUR, KOR, or CHN regions).
  • A computer running Windows XP or newer, macOS Sierra or newer, Linux, or a way to apply xdelta patches.
  • A way to play the ROM: DS flashcarts, emulators, etc (this game is best played on a real console).

To apply the patch:

  • Extract the contents of the downloaded zip somewhere on your computer and run the patcher program designated for your operating system.
    • For Linux and macOS users. You will first need to install the latest Python 3 release for your system, which will allow you to run the .py script.
    • After installing Python, run the following commands in a terminal window to install other libraries (PyQt5 is required, xdelta3 is optional):
      • python3 -m pip install PyQt5
      • python3 -m pip install xdelta3
    • After this, you will be able to launch the patch_wizard.py script.
    • (If double-clicking the file doesn't work, run python3 patch_wizard.py in a terminal window after navigating to patch_wizard.py's directory.)
  • Follow the instructions on-screen, and you should end up with a patched NDS file.

If you're unable to run the program:

  • Look around for a way to apply xdelta patches to files on your operating system, such as xdelta UI, Delta Patcher and MultiPatch.
  • Then get an md5 hash of your ROM and apply the xdelta that has a matching filename.
