Before anything, you must read this:
A North American (US) Version of "The Thousand-Year Door" (need correct md5 if
you're using xdelta)
This mod will not work on any other version of the game, and no other mod of it.
(Sadly.)
A Softmodded Wii/Wii U that has Homebrew with Nintendont. (For Console.)
A GameCube that has Action Replay with Swiss on it. (For Console.)
An updated Development version of the Dolphin Emulator. (For PC.)
.iso, .ciso, .gcz, .nkit, .wia, and .rvz filetypes are compatiable with Hero Mode
Patcher.
-----------------------------------------------------
Installation for Hero Mode Patcher (Windows):
Download the latest version of Hero Mode Patcher and open it.
Open the Hero Mode Patcher and select your Paper Mario: TTYD image file. (US only)
Select any folder to be your Output, and save the Hero Mode image file.
Press patch and the image file should be where you selected the folder.
-----------------------------------------------------
Installation for xdelta Patcher:
Click on "Patch" and select the "HeroMode.xdelta" file.
Click on "Source File" and find a clean rip of a TTYD.iso (md5 of
db9a997a617ee03bbc32336d6945ec02, US only)
Click on "Output File" and choose a folder you will remember and save it as
"game.iso"
Once you press "patch" DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING and wait for completion.
-----------------------------------------------------
MAKE SURE CHEATS ARE DISABLED ON YOUR RESPECTIVE EMULATOR.
-----------------------------------------------------
Installation for Wii/Wii U:
Rename the image file to "game.iso" so that Nintendont can read it.
Once it's done, put the image file in your SD/USB storage device. (SD Card\Games\
Hero Mode\game.iso)
Boot up Nintendot and choose a storage device, press B to enter "Settings" and
disable any cheats.
If you do not turn off cheats, Hero Mode will not function properly.
Press B to go back to the file menu, and select the Hero Mode file.
-----------------------------------------------------
Installation for GameCube:
Rename the image file to "game.iso" so that Swiss can read it.
Add the image file to your Swiss storage device. (Such as SDGecko.) (SD Card\Games\
Hero Mode\game.iso)
Boot up Swiss and locate the "game.iso" in your storage device, open the config
screen,
view cheats, and make sure the screen says "No Cheat Files Found." or disable the
cheats.
If you do not turn off cheats, Hero Mode will not function properly.
-----------------------------------------------------
Installation for Dolphin:
Open up Dolphin, press "Config", go to the "Advanced" tab, and make sure "Load
Custom Texutres" is unchecked.
Hero Mode now has a HD texture pack that is a work in progress, so leave it checked
if you want to use that.
Open up the "Settings", and in the "General" tab make sure "Enable Cheats" is
unchecked.
If you do not turn off cheats, Hero Mode will not function properly.
Press "Open" and locate the Hero Mode file to boot up the mod.
