>> Download <<

Contains the .mio files for the four bosses and a Showcase save file also containing them. Either use CrygorTool to get them on your DS or copy them through Showcase from the save.

This is the last one today, I swear! (CrygorTool 0.2.2 Beta Release)

(Merging all three updates today into this post to prevent blog clutter!)

Version 0.2.2 April 10 2010
- Fixed an imported microgame having the chance to overwrite saved progress in the Job Center.

Version 0.2.1 April 10 2010
- Fixed a bug where an imported microgame could overwrite your Game MakerMatic data!
- Fixed a bug created in 0.2 that would save a file to a blank name if you canceled the save.

Version 0.2 April 10 2010
- Added very basic support for records/comics (it's sort of hacked in, will improve eventually).
- Locked games will still show a preview.
- REALLY fixed the bug where importing microgames would save over the first slot or copy a game multiple times.
- Fixed a bug where opening a .sav with a .sav already opened broke the microgame list.
- Fixed a bug where the file extension was not saved if you did not type it in the file name.

CrygorTool 0.1 Beta Release

CrygorTool 0.1 is ready for you guys to test.

Please note: This is a test release for those closely following its development. Please do not reupload, redistribute, or direct link! This release is for hunting down any bugs, and to expose the program to save files other than my own.

CrygorTool.exe version 0.1

Please post bugs, comments, etc here.

(I probably made some silly obvious mistake, too).

Edit- Know issues:
  • I totally forgot the Edit Length option.
  • The program is a memory hog (I have found a fix to reduce memory greatly).
  • There is no Back button on the .sav tools screen. 
  • The colors I was using to render the preview are very slightly off. 
  • Bug importing games

DIY Dev Forum?

It seems like there are several of us interested in hex editing these save files. We really need a place to discuss our findings and share our projects, with both public and private posting. A forum would be great, but the best I could do would be to set up one of those free boards like invisionfree. It would require some sort of private area where we can post sources and stuff without fearing people stealing them.

Does anyone have an idea better than a free board?

Miotool Fail

Some of you may have noticed on the box of your microgames, there is a little id number that has 4 letters in it. These letters are usually the same for microgames you make. Nintendo microgames use 'nint'.

I bring this up because I noticed miotool decides to replace those letters with 'yasu' (the name of miotool's creator) when you export a microgame with it. So if you export a game and give it someone else, yasu has decided to stick a little of himself into it. Not only that, but it also does it when you import a game with it as well.

It is safe to assume that I do not like this and will be adding importing/exporting to CrygorTool to avoid this.

Update April 2nd
