(MKDSPAR) More sound imports/edits KTRMAmbiance 2023-09-01 | • Imported unused BANK_SE_GLOBAL and WAVE_SE_GLOBAL from Kiosk Demo over the intro jingle (with slight edits to the SBNK)• Changed options theme (SSEQ 04) to the similar-sounding unused theme (SSEQ 05 in the original game)• Moved title theme to SSEQ 05 and SEQ_CIRCUIT2 to SSEQ 00, and set the title screen to play SSEQ 05 in the ARM9 music slot table; this doesn't affect unused tracks so they still play SSEQ 00, which here is SEQ_CIRCUIT2 (luigi_course showcased)• Re-added original battle theme with early samples (mini_block_course showcased)
Mario Kart DS Early Rainbow Road Remake from early map KTRMAmbiance 2023-08-04 | Inclusion of this track as unused or mission-exclusive is a mystery RNQ: Why are the character icons being transparent when driving on dash pads?A: The collision still needs more workQ: Why is Birdo on the bottom screen but ROB model in race?A: I planned to remove Birdo because of no actual evidence for its inclusion, thus the pink Egg 1 was being used by Yoshi in a pre-release screenshot.

Mario Kart DS NKM Format Conversion Test: Twilight House in Kiosk Demo KTRMAmbiance 2022-09-01 | With the comparison of early NKM formats and the final one, I managed to hex-edit Twilight House's NKM to convert to the Kiosk Demo format (final's 25 00 4C 00 to kiosk's 22 00 48 00, removing KTPM data and editing the headers) and as seen here, it works.About the NKM formats:tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_DS/Unused_Courses#course_map.nkm_File_Formats
MKDS N64 Banshee Boardwalk: Unused water NSBTP in action KTRMAmbiance 2022-08-29 | As mentioned here:tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_DS/Oddities#N64_Banshee_Boardwalkthe track had a leftover NSBTP (texture pattern animation) file from possibly an earlier version, suggesting the water was originally part of the model, however in both the Kiosk Demo and the final the water is a seperate object.This video shows the model edited to make use of the unused NSBTP.
Mario Kart DS Final Waluigi Pinball model in Kiosk Demo (test) KTRMAmbiance 2022-07-12 | Had to use AR codes to play as the NKM couldn't be edited (current editors only support the final game, and hex editing would be too much work)And importing the final NKM won't work either as the format is different

Mario Kart DS but all item probabilities are set to 0 KTRMAmbiance 2022-01-29 | Messing with the ItemSlotList.dat file on a test ROMNote how Luigi got a lightning bolt in the third place (1:28) and the multiplayer battle itembox item appears in the item wheel (although it drops a real itembox in battle mode and is given to all lost players, though it also works in single player mode, using it in GP/VS modes crashes the game)

MKDS GCN Mario Circuit Re-touches KTRMAmbiance 2021-10-21 | Not meant to be very complex, this is an imagination of how Nintendo would've finished GCN Mario Circuit, counting on how they removed bridge sides and the pipe entrance in GCN Mushroom Bridge, and the roller-coasters in GCN Baby Park.Also tried to add a chain chomp, but the game crashed as soon as I reached its point

NSMB - SM64DS Model Porting Test KTRMAmbiance 2020-12-21 | Experimenting with .dae files exported with SM64DSe, converting them to .gltf using a tool named "Noesis" (.fbx should work too, but .gltf is easier for me, also Blender can't handle .dae properly), importing it to Blender and editing it with the NNS plugin, and exporting to .imd and .ica...Here I've ported the bakubaku (big cheep-cheeps that chase you) model with animations from SM64DS
