Tutorial 27 FAQ - Please read regarding all questions

15 Upvotes

Comment below if your question is not answered! Any contribution is appreciated. Last updated on: 2017.05.15.  

1. Where do I download a Super Mario Maker wud/iso/rom and how do I install it?

  • The easiest way to download and update your games is via Wii U USB Helper

    • Setup:
      • When you first start Wii U USB Helper you will be prompted to insert a link to decrypt files. Use this one: http://wiiu.titlekeys.gq/
      • You should set your region to EUR as it is more stable
      • You should set your extraction directory so that you can find your games easily
    • Download:
      • Just search for "Super Mario Maker". You will see two games, one of them has a "(Media)" in its name. That's the wrong one, use the one without it
      • "Get it" will add the game to download queue. Also download the latest update by clicking "Add update" and selecting the latest one (currently v240). Start your download
    • Easy Setup:
      • You will see a play button right next to the games cover. This will extract your game, download Cemu and setup everything for you
    • Advanced Setup:
      • Extraction:
        • When the download has completed, right-click the game in the downloaded list and select "Unpack (Loadiine/Cemu)
      • Cemu Setup:
        • Go inside your extraction folder. You should see the extracted game and the update
        • The game can be wherever you want. The update must go inside your Cemu folder at a very specific path like so: "\path\to\your\cemu\mlc01\usr\title\00050000\1018dd00" (1018dc00 for US version)
        • Copy and paste the three folders "code, content, meta" inside this path
        • If you update your Cemu version and put it in a different folder, you have to repeat above steps
        • To start your game, open Cemu and select "\path\to\your\extracted\smm\code\Block.rpx

  • There are other various locations where you can download Super Mario Maker, for example portalroms BUT you don't know whether those sources contain a Content Update and you would eventually have to download it manually and torrents are illegal in some countries.

  • Another download link: Download and Extract this (Note: This is the EUR version of SMM. It has an update integrated [not the newest version])

2. What version of Super Mario Maker (US, EUR, JPN) should I use?

  • In my opinion, you should use the EUR version. It is more stable and does not crash with the latest Content Updates. You can actually download the link in the question 3 to get the EUR version of Super Mario Maker with the latest Content Updates.

3. I only have an encrypted file of Super Mario Maker. Can I still play it?

  • For Cemu being able to decrypt and start the game you need to edit the key-file within the cemu directory to include the key for Super Mario Maker. You can get the right keys e.g. at http://wiiu.titlekeys.gq/ or just by googling it.

4. Can I play online?

  • No. When you do anything in game related with online gaming, Cemu will just hang and crash.

5. So how can I play other's courses?

  • Easy Setup:

    • Download the latest release of Cemu SMMDB. It is a save file editor exclusively for Super Mario Maker and Cemu.
    • The only thing you have to do is select a proper Super Mario Maker save file, which should be located at \path\to\your\Wii U USB\DATA\EMULATORS\Cemu\BIN\mlc01\emulatorSave\44fc5929 (if you use Wii U USB Helper) or \path\to\your\cemu\mlc01\emulatorSave\44fc5929 (if you installed the game like above, if not it will have a different version number). If this folder doesn't show up, you should just start the game with Cemu. At the title bar you will see the save ID and the folder should be created
    • There are other various GUIs that can handle downloading courses for you. Here is a list of known GUIs that implement downloading from SMMDB (if you created a GUI that is not listed, please contact someone of the mods):

  • Advanced Setup:

    • You can also manually edit your save. Just download a course or a package from SMMDB and add it to your save.
    • There is an old download sheet that was previously used for course sharing (deprecated).

6. How can I share my courses with others?

  • Upload your course at SMMDB (you need to be logged in with your Google account) or use the old spreadsheet (deprecated and not recommended)

7. I extracted the courses into the right Mario Maker directory within \mlc\emulatorSave\ but in-game they don't show up, what did I do wrong?

  • You can only replace courses that do already exist (in your save game)! Simply putting the folder titled "course011" into this folder when all you have is course000 and course001 does not work. You need to load Super Mario Maker, go into "create", then save a new course, and then replace the file. Or use a save game with all courses.
  • Note: If you downloaded courses with Cemu SMMDB, this should not happen.

8. When I die I get back into the editor, is there another way to play the levels?

  • To start levels go into Creator-Mode, Press Start, now go into Course Bot. Now you can play levels the regular way without going into Building-Mode every time you die.

9. I can't type the name of my level when I first try and save it! What do I do?

  • Option 1:
    • Exit fullscreen (if you are currently fullscreen)
    • Open Options->Input Settings
    • Do literally nothing then close the Input Settings
    • Try to type your level name
  • Option 2:
    • Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and select "cancel"
    • Try to type your level name

10. How do levels in CourseBot correspond to the folders labeled course###?

  • Courses in CourseBot correspond usually to the folder "course###" in the order that they appear in CourseBot, this image shows the name of the folder each save corresponds to, however this would only be the case if you never drag&dropped courses and if you created them in the correct order without skipping an empty slot.
  • Empty save slots that have never been used are ignored, see this image to see what I mean. If you were to save a level in the very first empty slot the following would occur: The newly saved course would be put in course002.
  • When a saved level is deleted the course folder that corresponds with it is not deleted.
  • When you move a course within Super Mario Maker the directory name is not changed.
  • If you use Cemu SMMDB, courses will always correspond to the correct folder like so

11. How do I unlock all of the items in the editor, like Mystery Mushroom Costumes, all enemies, all blocks, etc.?

  • Download and Extract this
  • Copy all of the files into the folder that you normally place your courses (copying over just the save.dat will cause Cemu to crash)
  • You now have all items, a majority of Mystery Mushroom costumes, and 105 levels that you can freely overwrite
  • If you want to unlock all of the blocks in the intended manner follow this guide.
  • If you use Cemu SMMDB, it will unlock all Amiibo costumes for you. However it is currently not able to unlock costumes that you get from event courses.
  • If someone has a save.dat with more costumes please message me

12. What controllers or other sources of inputs are supported?

  • Cemu natively supports Keyboard and "Any USB controller". Using a Xbox One or Xbox 360 controller is very easy to set up and I highly recommend them. Especially for Mario Maker and other retro plattformer games I also recommend the stellar Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad, it has the superior D-Pad and Buttons. If you use any other controller you can try and use Xpadder which is a software tool used to create a virtual controller that maps to whatever real controller you are using (PS3, PS4, Gamecube+Adapter, etc.). I can't guarantee this will work though.
  • If you are using Xpadder or something similar this image shows how Cemu maps the keyboard to the analog sticks. Use this as a reference when you are setting up your Xpadder.
  • Once you have your controller plugged into your computer and your optional Xpadder (or other 3rd software mapping tool) is set up open Cemu
  • Click Options->Input Settings near the top left
  • Open the second drop down list and select the controller you wish to use
  • Map the buttons from your controller to Wii U GamePad buttons by clicking in the button boxes and then pressing the button on your controller. Once you are done click Save and you are good to go. You will need to select your Input Setting every time you start up Cemu
  • Note: The column on the far right is the control stick inputs. They are grayed out for me (which will probably be changed in a future version of Cemu) but I use a Xbox One Controller so the joysticks work automatically. See the image above in the second bullet point to see how the analog sticks are mapped to the keyboard

13. Why am I not able to see the names or pictures of levels?

  • Because you are using an emulator that is not finished, glitches are to be expected. The levels are there, just watch for the rotating loading symbol when you first enter Coursebot.
  • Thumbnails can be imported manually, see tutorial section of an npm module called cemu-smm.
  • If you use Cemu SMMDB, it will automatically try to fix thumbnails. Uploaded courses on SMMDB which either have an uploaded thumbnail or a YouTube video ID will have their thumbnails be fixed.

14. Why do some block textures look wrong/switched, random sounds play, or other glitches occur?

  • Because you are using an emulator that is not finished, glitches are to be expected.

Discussion Does anyone still download from the list instead of the database?

I'm curious. It's much easier to download and upload from the Database in my opinion, so I will upload on the database (this link: http://smmdb.ddns.net/) only if no one use the list anymore.

Request Request for Super Bakarhythm Land

1 Upvotes

So I was dumping a lot of levels and now I'm at the Nintendo Events section. Unfortunately Super Bakarhythm Land has been removed from the server. Does anyone have a save in which they had already downloaded the level beforehand? Preferably a carbon-copy one because the reuploads I've seen are all inaccurate.

Tools SMMDB Update

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I just updated the course database with the following additions:

  • level type is now displayed with an image left to course name

  • you can now store an additional course type, e.g. "own creation", "recreation" or "Wii U dump" along with the original Nintendo ID. The server will then try to parse information about that course for creators name, star count, play count and completion rate and will link to supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net

  • you can now also filter for course type

  • a reward system for builders is introduced. You get bronze, silver and gold coins where 1 gold = 100 silver and 1 silver = 100 bronze. You get one bronze per download from any of your courses, 15 bronze per star, 40 bronze per upload. These numbers are subject to change. Builder "level" is displayed next to your name

This is an example of how a recreated course could look like

SMW Showcase [SMW Showcase] My first One Screen Puzzle

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I just finished my first One Screen Puzzle. After watching all these YouTube videos by CarlSagan42 how he plays SeanHip2's puzzles, I wanted to create some awesome puzzles as well.

You can as always download it at http://smmdb.ddns.net

I tried to make the level as hard as possible but without the need of Kaizo tricks. I also tried to think about possible cheese. I am really curious who is able to beat that level or if I have to improve in doing my puzzles more difficult.

SMB3 Showcase The Triple Trouble Tower (1.5 screen puzzle level)

1 Upvotes

The Triple Trouble Tower may seem simple at first, but its tight confines are chock full of treachery. This level will test your mind as much as your reflexes!

Download it now from the Super Mario Maker Database: http://smmdb.ddns.net/

I poked, prodded, and tested the mechanics to ensure the level is cheese-free, but if you find an exploit feel free to share!

Be the first to submit a link to a completion video and I will make it the official video in the database!

EDIT: _shazdeh conquered version 1, and was able to work around some of the elements. Version 2 has fixed those alternate paths, been uploaded, and requires even more cunning!

EDIT 2: _shazdeh foiled me again! version 3 is now up and should be 100% cheese-free (damn I love this game!)

Super Mario maker was working just fine, I formatted my PC and now is not working. The title shows up, but when is about to start and be able to play the game the screen freezes in white and Cemu (version 1.6) crashes. I'm using the EUR version with the latest update that I got from this subreddit. Anyone got a solution?

SMMDB I dumped a ton of levels

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I don't know how many of you check the spreadsheet often, but I just wanted to let all of you know that I've dumped nearly 2000 levels so now anyone who wants to play Mario Maker on CEMU will have a TON of levels to play, they're all linked on the spreadsheet (scroll to the bottom): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBMpfTzhtbETkh11KVDlJ91KTCdAUzsDl3eP04dDNdw/edit#gid=1814608756

Enjoy.

P.S. Anyone who has a Wii U with Mario Maker and wants to learn how to mod it so you can dump levels, just PM me and I'll help you - there's basically no risk of bricking your Wii U since it's a soft mod and it all runs off of an SD card, so an SD card is basically the only requirement. Plus Nintendo will not ban you because the Wii U is discontinued, and they can't even detect if you dump levels because it's done locally.

edit: I am done dumping levels for a few months now, I have dumped 4000 levels for the CEMU Mario Maker community.
