In my dungeon fixing one phone at the time....
"The updated (or should I say new) version I'm making will have better looking textures but they won't be from Mario. Hint. What do you guys think - should I be able to republish it (through the market) with this new look without Nin***do taking it down?"


Nooooooo...... Keep the old SNES Mario graphics please, that's what makes this live wallpaper so cool and retro!!! I have been waiting for an update to fix the Samsung Galaxy SII graphics issue to be able to use this awesome live wallpaper again. Or if possible two versions maybe...... old SNES Mario (optional donation version) like the 0.49b version. The Secret Maryo one you hinted at can be on the market with no issues I guess, don't see why not....

I am seeing the exact same issue on my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint GS2).
I'm kinda sad, because this live wallpaper is always the first thing I install when I get a new Android device :)

this is my favorite live wallpaper. not only because i am a huge mario fan, but because it's that one live wallpaper that doesn't lag my homescreen to hell after prolonged use. probably because of that "low priority" option.

anyway, one thing that kinda bothered me was the mario sprite that notch (the dev where OP got the sprites for the live wallpaper) used the Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. 3, when the background he used was from Super Mario World... So I replaced the Mario 3 sprites with the correct Super Mario World sprites for my own personal use, but anyone who wants this can also use it.

i take absolutely no credit for the following apk. screenshots included :)

I agree, the original look is far better, maybe as others have suggested, have an option as "RETRO" and keep the original graphics but publish it on the Market as the graphics from Secret Maryo as the default.

Nintendo if they were smart, would release a live wallpaper themselves like Namco has with Katamari and Pac-Man.

Mario Live Wallpaper works again!

So something I noticed or found out by accident. My Epic Touch 4G (Sprint's Galaxy S2) with the Gingerbread firmware had an issue with the graphics produced where the backgrounds looked all messed up, an issue with many that used this live wallpaper. I upgraded to the Ice Cream Samich stock firmware (now FF11) and it works again!!!!!!!! So happy its working again, guess it was an issue with the Gingerbread firmware on the Epic Touch 4G......

    My second app!

    This is a live wallpaper of Mario playing randomly generated levels. Every once in a while, a level ends and a new one begins. There are three themes for levels: outside, underground and castle. They appear in that order.

    Have a look at wallpaper's settings! You might find something interesting there. Like the ability to change FPS, or to disable level background (making levels darker).

    By default, this live wallpaper is in the playback mode. If you switch it to AI mode, it tends to waste a considerable amount of battery power because of the artificial intelligence, which is rather complex. The fact that the wallpaper is nice enough to be stared at for long periods of time, doesn't help that situation either. :)

    By default, this wallpaper is set up to have a low priority. This is good, but not if your device is running a CPU intensive app. So - if the wallpaper is very slow on your device (something like 2 frames per second), consider looking at battery logs to find application(s) that waste a lot of CPU time.

    And, at last, as all my work, this live wallpaper is donation supported too. So if you like it, consider buying be a cup of much needed cofee or a pizza.

    See the video of how it looks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g58o9w0bg4

    Issues? Read the FAQ in the next post below.

    To get the live wallpaper, use this link from the android device, or this QR code:
    <no longer available via market because of a legal claim by Nintendo>

    Or, download this APK if you don't have the market on your device or for some reason don't see it there.
    MarioLive_094b is the latest version.

    Frequently asked questions - FAQ



    I've downloaded and installed it. How do I set it up as a Live Wallpaper?
    Follow this procedure:
    • go to your home screen
    • press the menu button on your device
    • select "Wallpaper"
    • select "Live Wallpapers" *
    • search and select for "Mario Live Wallpaper"
    • select "Settings" to see the settings or select "Set wallpaper" to activate it
    (* if you don't see "Live Wallpapers" option in the "Select wallpaper from" menu then your device probably doesn't support Live Wallpapers)



    What is the difference between "AI Mode" and "Playback Mode"?
    Playback mode uses prerecorded plays, so Mario doesn't think but just "plays back" one of the 1000 or so levels from memory. AI mode makes Mario smart, and he will use artificial intelligence to complete the level. AI mode uses MUCH MORE BATTERY, and also might not work correctly on some older devices due to lack of memory and processing power.



    I've turned "AI Mode" on and this wallpaper wastes a lot of battery. What can I do?
    That's just how the Mario's artificial intelligence is, very demanding on the phone's resources. Turn the AI Mode off or if you absolutely want it, you can disable course background and decrease FPS to remedy the issue.



    Why does this Live wallpaper require internet access?
    It's to download and show ads. They appear in the Live wallpaper's settings.



    I can't find this on the market. Where is it?
    Your phone is probably unsupported. If you're sure that your phone supports live wallpapers, you can try manually installing with the APKs that are at the end of the post above.



    I can't download the APK. My phone says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". What to do?
    Don't download it with your phone! The default browser in Android doesn't support downloading APK files. Try this:
    • download AndroZip from the market. It's a file browser app
    • download the latest APK from the first page of this thread, do it with your PC
    • transfer the APK to the phone's SD card
    • on the phone, go to Settings -> Applications -> check "Unknown sources"
    • launch AndroZip, search for the APK on the sd card, and select it. You should be offered to install the live wallpaper
    • later when installed, go to home screen, press the menu key, select Wallpaper -> Live Wallpapers, search for Mario Live Wallpaper and select it



    This is so cool! How about you theme it like this game? Or make another like this other game? Or maybe that game?
    This is not likely going to happen because of copyright issues. The Mario Live Wallpaper is made from free and open-source material (check About in the settings) while any other game (even themes from Super Mario) are a no-go because the vast majority is proprietary and copyrighted.



    This LWP is very cool. Thanks! How can I contribute?
    In a number of ways:

    I'm updating it, porting the rendering engine to OpenGL so its faster now (also glichless as far as I can test). Added quite a bit of stuff really. Unfortunately there is an issue in ICS that I'm currently resolving so I can't publish it yet.

    I have a Rezound and I love the wallpaper.

    Does the app support higher resolutions though? And if not, do you plan on updating it?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Well, it is in the game's original resolution. Gives it a retro look, you know.

    ------------

    The updated (or should I say new) version I'm making will have better looking textures but they won't be from Mario. Hint. What do you guys think - should I be able to republish it (through the market) with this new look without Nin***do taking it down?



    Cheers.
