I came across this SMK editor, http://sldnoonmoon.hp.infoseek.co.jp/neo/make/index.html it’s feature rich, full AI support, automated tile laying, a Bézier Curve tool and it even fixes the CRC.   The way it compiles a new ROM each time is great, but it only supports the Japanese ROM image.  I have been working with Preserbay to add support for the US version, by supplying the equivalent offsets for the US version of the ROM.  This allows me to continue with my hack using this editor.  So please enjoy MAKE with US ROM Support http://www.dirty.plus.com/MAKE/MAKEUS0071.zip  :beer:

Below is a basic English User guide (a Japanese tutorial is hosted on his site if you need more details) I’ll write a full manual later.

Use a headerless ROM called smk.smc in the root of the program.

F11 – Save current level to Mushroom Cup Race 1 to test.smc and saves the track to stagexx.smkc (make backups! as MAKE can not extract a track from a ROM)
Rename this to the stage number required and copy to the stage folder.

Control & F11 – Saves all tracks in the folder  stage to comp.smc

Load a track - Drag stagexx.smkc in MAKE.

Hey Googie, you seem to have released about 30 ROM hacks since we last spoke Smiley

Out of intrest MAKE comes with a full set of new tracks written by the author in the stages folder, just load the editor with smk.smc in place and press Control F11 and play some cool F-Zero tracks and some tracks from future Mario Kart games.

I should point out that this build disables the track naming feature of the editor.
