Hi. I'm Olhi. I'm a fan of SMBX and GNU/Linux and here to make it more accessible.

Episode Ratings
Made for those I want to get into SMBX and whoever else may be interested.

Episodes I want to play
Italic means the episode was taken down and has no backups (that I know about).

 * Super Mario Bros. 0
 * Super Mario Bros. X3

Episodes I'm not going to play
Episodes with a non-linear level structure such as:


 * The Great Empire 3
 * New Great Castle Adventure
 * The Fallen Spirits
 * SMB: A New Beginning

Workarounds that have been useful for me
Mostly aimed towards Linux users.

Purple Yoshi Ground Pound
To make a custom build of TheXTech (also works for NSMBX) where the Purple Yoshi's Ground Pound is triggered by "Alt Run" instead of "Down", follow this Guide (or this I guess), but before initiating the submodule, change the following lines of /src/player/player_update.cpp:

Replace Controls.Down with Controls.AltRun twice

Using D-Pad and Analog Stick of Xinput Controller
To be able to use both, D-Pad and Analog Stick on TheXTech at once, install the "xboxdrv" driver and run the following command:

sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --axismap -y1=dpad_y,x1=dpad_x

The reverse also works in SMBX-38A:

sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --axismap -dpad_y=y1,dpad_x=x1

Closing the terminal should reactivate the default xpad driver. Further reading.
