So yeah! You can use these with a Super Mario Advance 4 ROM along with a Nintendo e-reader ROM, or even an actual Super Mario Advance 4 game pack with an actual Nintendo e-reader if you are able to print the dotcodes out with your printer and get them to scan! If you have a printer that is capable of printing at 1200 dpi and have any glossy photo paper, then you should be good to go! You'll have to tinker with your printer setting to get the best results! Look around the internet for info on how to print out dotcodes and for programs that can print out dotcodes!Tiger21820 from discord wrote:My plans (or I guess a GOAL) for an e-level series:
Make a total of 72 levels divided into 3 separate sets (will be referred to as a series)
Each level will have 5 Ace coins, and the first 8 levels of each series will have a custom e coin (which again, don't currently work when a level is loaded from a dot code), and 1 e coin gallery floor per series
Series 1 is the Flower Series, and will contain levels 01 to 32 (There are 7 levels currently made, with 05 and 06 still a work in progress, only published for those who want to add 10 more ace coins and 2 more e coins to their collection)
Series 2 will be the Heart series, and contain levels 33 to 64
Series 3 will be the T series, and will contain levels 65 to 72
And a special 73rd level has been made only for those who can show photographic proof that they have fully conquered all 72 levels with both Mario & Luigi
This is a long term project that may or may not actually be completed ever, and I won't promise you that this project will be completed!
This series of levels is intended to be loaded in using dotcodes with an e-reader (ROM) in a FRESH and brand new world-e save file, since these levels will be using all 73 level IDs (including the officially released levels), and will conflict with levels in pre-made save files!
This is not really a project as it is more of a self-imposed goal to make 73 SMA4 e-levels!
Each of the Flower Levels plus the first two Heart Levels can be stored and played along side the official Nintendo levels on an actual game pack since each custom level will first use each unassigned level ID to ensure as much co-existence with the official material as possible should you choose to do it this way! In fact, all 32 Flower Levels and Heart Levels 1 & 2 and Level 73 can be stored (Not saved, only 32+1 temporary level can be saved in the game) along side the 38 officially released levels! That means you can have all 73 levels on the level list, the absolute MAXIMUM number of levels in a single save file! You'll have to decide which e-coins you'll want to save since the first 8 share the same e-coin ID: Either the official ones, or the custom ones!
The raw files contained in the attached ZIP files can be used with the mgba emulator, or, as stated above, printed out and scanned with an actual Nintendo e-reader!

My progress so far: 16 out of 73 levels made!
Current number of Ace Coins: 075
Current number of e-Coins: 08
All levels have 5 Ace coins, and the first 8 Levels of each series has an e-coin, bringing a grand total of 360 Ace Coins, and 24 custom designed e-coins! Good luck getting them all, and even better luck to you on beating each level with both Mario & Luigi! Remember that you can save up to 32 levels, plus 1 temporary level, so I recommend two saves for each series, unless you don't mind scanning a level over and over again!
Level List:
Series 1, Flower Series:
01 First Level!
First level! This is the first of what will be a 72 (plus 1 extra for those who complete all 72 levels 100%!) level series! This will take a while! Good luck getting all 360 Ace coins!

13 Airship
RIP Smaghetti... Hopefully an alternative will arise so I can actually make my 72 level set! Until then... I plan for no more levels until a long term solution is possible (such as a fork)!
It's an airship! What else can I say?
