#Sonic mania plus pc problems mod

Find a good mod that's pretty light and is guaranteed working fine by the modding community. You've extracted the rsdk file and got a data folder, great! Now it's time for mods. You'll also get a folder named 'Unknown Files.' Don't worry about this folder, it just stores an unused sound effect that doesn't support unpacking. Once they're visible in that window, press 'Extract data file' and locate it in the same folder where your Data.rsdk file is, and name it 'Data.' Wait, and you'll get a Data folder located in the folder you made with Data.rsdk. rsdk).' Find your Data.rsdk, double click it, and it'll load all the files stored on the left side window on the unpacker menu (can take a few seconds). Once you're on the unpacker settings menu, click on 'Select data file' and locate which folder you placed your Data.rsdk file, and make sure you go to the bottom right and choose 'RSDKv5 Data Files (*. Click on 'Engine,' then 'RSDK Unpacker' or press Ctrl + Shift + U. You should see a GUI with tabs on the top. Download the latest release, extract the zip, and run the RetroED exe file in located in the unzipped folder. This is because it can unpack and repack rsdk files easily, and it works with rsdkv5 (the version of your rsdk file). There are many great rdsk decrypting programs out there, but for this you should be using RetroED. Now that you have the Data.rsdk, copy it into a new folder onto your desktop or where ever you want, but keep the original. Ignore the shaders folder, it's not needed. You should see a folder called 'NXDumpTool.' Click it, inside is the RomFS folder with a folder called 'Sonic Mania (01109AA000FAA800) (UPD),' and it has the Data.rsdk file you need to continue on. Take out your microSD, insert it into your computer, and locate your switch folder. Once it's done, you can exit out by pressing + on your controller.

Once your update file is selected, hit 'RomFS section data dump' and let it dump until it's finished. Your 'Use update/DLC' option should have the update file with the title ID of Sonic Mania Plus (01109AA000FAA800), a version number, and '(UPD)' at the end. The update file has the updated Data.rdsk file that's used for the latest version of Sonic Mania, and the DLC file only has the DLC key used to authenticate the DLC access. Once in RomFS options, make sure you use your installed update file and not the installed DLC file. Both of these have 'RomFS options.' This is the one you want to go to. On the main menu, you'll see 'Dump gamecart content' and 'Dump SD card / eMMC content.' Choose the one you want for what you have, and make sure you've located Sonic Mania if it's installed on your Switch. Once done, launch hbmenu and locate nxdumptool. nro in the /switch folder on the root of your microSD. If you don't have it, get the latest release and place the. If you have Kosmos 14.2, this is already pre-packaged with the latest version. You'll need the latest version of the homebrew app nxdumptool. I wouldn't recommend using the rsdk file from a Steam bought version of Sonic Mania, but you can try since it has essentially the same data files as the Switch version, but to make it easy and safe, use the one from your Switch. This is because the file we want to use, 'Data.rsdk,' is located in RomFS folder when dumped. If you want to use add-ons, use the PC version.įirst, you'll want to dump your RomFS from a legally owned copy of Sonic Mania, either installed internally or externally on your Switch, or from your cartridge.

Only use mods that overlay existing files in the Data.rsdk folder.

DLL files need an external program/dependency to function, otherwise you'll end up with a black screen. If you're new to the scene, use this guide or the helpful guides from many members of GBATemp.

Note: I expect you've got custom firmware on your Switch and you know how to inject a payload and launch hbmenu.

I'll explain what to do with it further down.

You also need to obtain access to 'Data.rsdk.' It's a compressed file for Retro Engine (the engine Sonic Mania runs on) which contains all media data for Sonic Mania. It's best to also have the Plus DLC because most mods now replace certain files only accessed by having the Plus DLC.

Make sure you've updated to the latest version of Sonic Mania (1.0.4). ReiNX users will have to use this tutorial with the latest version. LayeredFS already comes pre-packaged with the latest versions of SXOS and Atmosphere, so if you have any of those two, you're good! I'll be showing how to do it on Atmosphere, but I'm sure SX has the same kind of file structure for LayeredFS. So, I wanted to make a revised tutorial on how you can mod Sonic Mania with updated tools. The program attached to the thread was very useful for the base version of the game, but now since Plus has released, it's a bit more confusing and outdated. A year ago, a thread was made on how to mod Sonic Mania with LayeredFS by
