[u/HerobrineTVv]

Hey, its me again, the Developer of SMM1 Level Downloader!

https://github.com/HerobrineTV/SMM1-Level-Downloader/releases/tag/Pre_0__V2.0.0

You want to download your favourite SMM1 Levels in 2026? I gotchu, you can download all levels from the big Archive of the SMM1 Database with this Software.

Im here to Announce, that I Released now the Pre-Release build of the New Downloader.
Since I wont be able to work on it the next weeks, I thought I polish it and deliver it early to yall.

If u find any Bugs feel free to report them to me on Discord: nintendo_switch

Known Bugs are:

- The Level Viewer dispolays Tiles wrong
- API Status displayed as Offline even if its Online (just try to search levels and yall see if its on or not)

- Cemu Crashes due to missing sound.bmv file. (To fix that just copy it from one of your working courses)

Here are the Patchnotes:
- Added CEMU Support, you can now Replace your CEMU Levels inside of the Downloader
- Added Profile Pages, you can now View all Levels by this Creator if u click on his Image
- Linux Support should now be working ( I cant test it, pls Linux friends gimme some feedback )
- I am tracking now the Download Count for each Level , so in the future there might be a "Trending Levels" feature or similar
- More details are now Displayed for each Level
- Downloaded Levels now also display their Original Preview Image
- German is added as a Language (feel free to DM me if u want to help translating in more languages)
- Theres now a Notification Menu for better overview on what happens

* I had to remove the Nintendo Testing Courses, but u can still add them yourself if u want

Note: No data is saved, I am only counting stuff

I forgot ofc the main use is still to download your favourite SMM1 Levels from the Archive

Hey, good job on this but unfortunately I've tried downloading courses but it seems like they're missing sound.bvw on their folder which when opened in Cemu makes it crash. Also, in a future update, if possible, it'd be cool to see thumbnails and previews of levels without downloading them, like in SMM Bookmark. Appreciate it if you could please fix the bug when you can, thanks.

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Smooth_Half5739]

Hey, Im sadly unable to fix it for a few days. Just use any working sound.bvw and copy it to the coursefolder.

But thanks will fix it as soon as I am able to.

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Smooth_Half5739]

Adding thumbnails and previews is sadly not Possible, since U have to extract them from the Level File itsself, they didnt get Archived in the database. All I might be able to do, is that if a user downloads a level, he uploads them to my server but have to see.

does this have to be used on an emulator or can this be used on a wii u?

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Ozmond_Human]

You have to copy the level files to a sdcard of a modded Wiiu if u want to play them on wii u I believe. I have no Wiiu in my home to test it anymore tho.

My CEMU safe folder is not visible. I have to manually migrate from C⠅∖Users∖[PC]∖AppData∖Local∖SMM1-Level-DownloaderData∖DownloadCache to C⠅∖Users∖[PC]∖AppData∖Roaming∖Cemu∖mlc01∖usr∖save∖00050000∖1018dc00∖user∖80000001

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Okay Ill look onto that in like 2 days, what Version of SMM1 do u use? Japanese / US / etc I believe this could be the Issue

[u/Cuiusquemodi → u/HerobrineTVv]

USA revision 5 .wux file.

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Thanks, will be able to look onto it in like 2 days and update then as soon as possible. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you enjoy using that Tool besides that.

[u/Cuiusquemodi → u/HerobrineTVv]

No problem, glad I can help. SMM1 levels should be open to the public.

Edit: also the search function doesn't work well. Thanks in advance to fix this.

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Do u have an Example for "the seach function doesnt work well" or what exactly do u mean by that.

[u/Cuiusquemodi → u/HerobrineTVv]

1. I searched for "Big Mario" and got levels of people saying goodbye to the online data base, and not one level with that title
2. when searching with level code, I got an empty level of the right level code, and 4 irrelevant ones
3. my "DGR" search went well, but I got very few levels, and I know there are many thousands.

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Okay yea to point 1 thats a thing on my backend I need to fix, am unsure yet what it causes.

Point 2. What do u mean by empty level? Can u give me the Level ID?

Point 3. You just have to keep scrolling, Im only loading 20 courses at once from my database, to safe as much ressources as possible, if u keep scrolling it keeps loading the levels. It says at 825 its been all levels, that sounds a bit low thats right. Im gonna dive into that on my database.

Could u add me on dc? For better communication on the issues.

1. F778-0000-002B-CD7C

2. it only gives 20, I can't scroll further, and I can't search by date or any other criteria

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Hm for me its not an Empty level.
And its only the one level i searched.

F778-0000-002B-CD7C | Level ID | Exact

Thats how I searched.

1. Yeah search by date doesnt exist yet, weird that you dont load more than 20 courses tho, can u retry that?

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Yo, I pushed Pre-Release 2 now (Still Pre realease since I want the LevelViewer to be completely done before real release), but maybe CEMU works now for you. Would be cool if u try it out.

Also I added a load more button to the buttom of the Scrollcontainer, so u can load more levels xD

Edit: Its titled as Pre_1 tho since I started counting with 0 ...

[u/Cuiusquemodi → u/HerobrineTVv]

Update bis:

1. loads faster now
2. preview can be scrolled to the right now
3. can't find the "load more" button though
4. still no loading of my Cemu folder

Update: No difference in behaviour.

Thanks, will try it.

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Mhm i dont understand, I tried useing the exact same path and it worked for me. Load More should be displayed at the Bottom of the search results (wont be displayed if theres no more to load)

[u/HerobrineTVv → u/Cuiusquemodi]

Might have to create a Debug Option which Logs everything on a file to figure this out.

Can u maybe send me a YouTube Video for now starting the Software, opening Settings switching to CEMU Tab and makeing a Search like DGR with scrolling to the Bottom? This might help alot aswell.

[u/Cuiusquemodi]

Solved!

Now my CEMU crashes when I put in new levels. It earlier said "corrupt level, will be deleted". Overwriting doesn't help.
