This is a mod for Mario and Luigi - Bowsers Inside Story DX that restores the soundtrack and voice clips from the DS version. It is inspired by this mod from Shrinefo that went unfinished a while back.

Every track from the original DS version has been painstakingly converted to work and loop properly in BIS DX, along with all of the original voice clips that were misused in BIS DX. If you feel let down by the sound of the remake, then this is for you.

Features

  • All the music was taken from SmashCustomMusic using their loops.
  • The DS voice clips come courtesy of The Sounds Resource.
  • An optional remix of the final boss theme as an added bonus, arranged by SypherAP.
  • A cheats.txt file included for those running Rosalina on New3DS/Citra, courtesy of the 60 FPS Patches thread.

Installation

This has only been tested on version 1.2 of the game. Earlier versions are not tested.

For Luma3DS users (8.0+ Rosalina):

  • Hold Select while booting your 3DS and enable game patching in the Luma configuration menu.
  • On your SD card, merge the luma folder (and its contents) from the ZIP with your luma folder.
  • If your copy of the game is a different region, change the directory name inside /luma/titles/ to the titleid of your copy (e.g. 00040000001D1400).
  • Insert your SD card, restart the system, and changes should take place when you launch the game.

For Hans users:

  • Extract the Romfs file of the game. There are several ways to do this.
    • If you have GodMode9, mount a decrypted CIA of the game.
    • Then go to the newly mounted partition and copy the romfs folder structure to the /gm9out/ directory on your SD card.
    • Or you can use a homebrew like braindump to dump it as a bin file which you can then extract.

For Citra users:

  • Download the 3DS .NET Toolkit EXE from the release page and use it to extract your Decrypted CCI/.3DS ROM of the game.
  • Replace the files in the extracted Romfs directory with the ones from the zip and rebuild the .3DS file.
  • Then you can run it in Citra.

Cheat file can be used with either Luma's cheat engine or CTRPluginFramework.

  • For Luma3DS cheat engine:
    • Rename cheat.txt to <titleid>.txt and it should be at SD:/cheats/<titleid>.txt.
    • To use, press L+Down+Select > Cheats...
  • For CTRPF cheat plugin:
    • Download CTRPF, rename it to default.3gx and it should be at SD:/luma/plugins/default.3gx.
    • Rename cheat.txt to <titleid>.txt and it should be at SD:/cheats/<titleid>.txt.
    • Press L+Down+Select, enable Plugin Loader option. Press Select to use in-game.

Note: Make sure to enable game patching in Luma's config menu (hold Select on boot). And if using a New 3DS, set New 3DS CPU to Clock+L2.

Compatibility

Has been tested by the author for the entire game.

Known issues

Please note that this cheat is highly unstable on console, capable of crashing at any scene transition, and speeding up certain attacks, so use at your own risk.

Turn off 60fps before starting giant battles and the credits. Seems to work perfectly on Citra, however.

Changelog

v.1.1

  • Fixed several incorrect voicelines. Thanks, Alphadream.
  • Updated 60fps code (should crash far less often).

v1.0

  • Initial release.
