Newer Mod ISO Builder

Note: This tool is not necessary if you wish to run mods in Dolphin, instead try this method here.

The Newer Mod ISO Builder is a tool that allows for combining ISO copies of NSMBW with Riivolution-style packs of installed plugins. The tool comes with several mod plugins included. A list of these can be found in the Included Mod Plugins section on this page.

Included Mod Plugins
This will combine an ISO copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii and riivolution-style packs of any plugins installed, included plugins:


 * Another SMBW (by Skawo)
 * Awesomer Super Luigi Mini (If you have it)
 * Cannon SMBW (by Leplap and Weland)
 * Epic Super Bowser World (by Leplap and Weland)
 * Newer Holiday Special (by NewerTeam)
 * Koopa Country (by hellofahedgehog)
 * Newer SMBW (by NewerTeam)
 * Retro Remix (by RetroRemixTeam)
 * Newer Summer Sun (by NewerTeam)

...to create a standard ISO/WBFS version of the selected Mod. ISO is now created sparse so as to save hard drive space.

Should work with All EUR and USA versions, and JPN v1 version.

Usage/How to
1. Extract contents of this .zip file to a new working directory. Get your ISO of NSMBW, and copy it to the same directory as the README file.

2. Run, follow its prompts and wait for it to build the mod ISO.

3. Use/run the newly built ISO/WBFS whatever way you would. :P

4. Enjoy!

Generated ISO has Header GameID of: Mod Name					GameID	AltID

Another SMBW:					SMN.05	KMA.05

AwesomerSLM:					SMN.02	KML.02

Cannon SMBW:					SMN.04	KMD.04

Epic Super Bowser World:	SMN.08	KME.08

Newer Holiday Special:		SMN.07	KMH.07

Koopa Country:					SMN.10	KMK.10

Newer SMBW:					SMN.03	KMW.03

Retro Remix:					MMR.09	KMR.09

Newer Summer Sun:		SMN.06	KMS.06

'''Where "." is the letter for your base ISO's region (P for EUR, E for USA, J for JPN).'''

There is also an option to change the tmd/ticket ID to KMNx, AltID or Manual Entry to keep savegames separate from the original game's one in Data Management.

Also, there is also to option to download a custom banner (.bnr aka "Disc Channel" display) for the ISO/WBFS from AbdallahTerro's repository, or provide your own. Your .bnr files go in the "banners" folder, with the Mod's GameID as its filename (e.g. SMN.03.bnr for Newer).

Possible Known Issue: I believe I have resolved this, but have not tested. output seems to be bugged for some people, the resulting .iso is good for use by backup manager to transfer to USB HDD, but trying to load it directly (via burned disc, or emulator, etc.) seems to fail, unsure why. output file seems to work perfectly though.
