This is a long post, but most of it is file contents. Keep reading!
GNS3 appliance files are descriptions of virtual machines used in network simulations. The appliance files have suffixes of .gns3a and are included with the GNS3 download. You can update the files and create new ones. The goal of this article is to walk through the process of working with appliance files and contributing them back to the community.
On a personal note, submitting a new GNS3 appliance was the first time I contributed to an open-source project. I’m still learning, but a few years ago I knew nothing. Jeremy Grossman, with GNS3, was patient and helped me understand the process of using Git. Contributing - even in this minor way - was a real high for me and I’d love for you to be able to share that feeling and contribute to this and other projects. GNS3a was my “gateway drug” into being a contributor and not just a consumer of open source.
One of the files I’ve contributed is the Security Onion appliance. Security Onion is a Linux distribution that focuses on security tools. Below is the current version (9/1/20) of the GNS3A file. Before we create a new appliance, let’s update this one.

Nintendo’s polish is evident. The transition between art styles is seamless. The music is a nostalgic trip through Mario history, re-orchestrated beautifully. The NSP file size is reasonable (roughly 2.8GB installed with updates), making it an easy addition to any SD card without consuming too much space.
This is standard jargon for bug fixes and stability improvements. Independent dataminers like 'OatmealDome' confirmed that to the game's files with this update. The changes were all to the game's underlying code. It's speculated that this patch may have addressed a minor security flaw or fixed a few glitches that popped up in the 3.0.2 version. This is a typical post-maintenance update, ensuring the game's online features and level editor remain stable.

Super Mario Maker 2 NSP Actualización 3.0.3: Detalles, Cambios y Cómo Actualizar
Super Mario Maker 2 continúa siendo uno de los pilares creativos de la Nintendo Switch, permitiendo a los jugadores diseñar, compartir y jugar niveles casi infinitos. Recientemente, Nintendo sorprendió a la comunidad con el lanzamiento de la , una actualización que, aunque discreta, es fundamental para mantener la estabilidad del ecosistema del juego.
Nintendo ha lanzado una nueva actualización para Super Mario Maker 2 en Nintendo Switch, llegando a la versión 3.0.3. Esta actualización incluye varias mejoras y correcciones de errores para mejorar la experiencia del jugador.
Entender la diferencia entre un juego original y una copia NSP es fundamental:
La llegada de la versión 3.0.3 no fue acompañada de un gran despliegue mediático. De hecho, las notas oficiales del parche son sorprendentemente escuetas:
La actualización 3.0.3 para Super Mario Maker 2 (NSP se refiere al archivo de juego en formato usado en consolas modificadas) es una versión menor de mantenimiento que corrige errores, mejora estabilidad y soluciona problemas detectados tras la gran actualización 3.0.0 / 3.0.x. A continuación se desglosan los cambios típicos, el impacto para jugadores y creadores, riesgos y recomendaciones prácticas.
A continuación, te ofrecemos un análisis técnico detallado, los métodos de instalación en formato NSP para la scene y cómo disfrutar de esta versión de forma segura y optimizada. ¿Qué novedades incluye la versión 3.0.3?
Si estás experimentando problemas con la instalación de esta actualización, te puedo ayudar a solucionar los errores comunes de lectura. Por favor, indícame:
Se eliminaron fallos menores que afectaban la experiencia de juego en ciertos entornos del creador.

Most of this is pretty straight forward. The structure looks like:
A descriptive section
Next is the Qemu section that describes how the VM environment should be constructed. This is straightforward as well. Console types are VNC or telnet. You may have to try different ethernet adapters to see what works, but I recommend starting with the Intel e1000 because this model is supported by most VMs. Using a para-virtualized adapter may give better performance, so you may also want to try vmxnet3. Most architectures will be 64bit and RAM requirements will usually be on the website.
That leaves two sections - Images and Versions. There should be a matching entry in both places. The images section is a list of virtual hard drives and CD-ROM images to use in the VM and includes:
Let’s update this file. There are a lot of old images listed as options. I’ll remove the image and version sections for 14.04.5.3 and add the most recent (16.04.7.1). That will leave users with the last 14.x and two images in 16.x including the latest. Whether dealing with a distribution or a commercial image, changes made between versions may introduce new processes or bugs so leaving some older images gives users an easy workaround. Here’s the updated file. Scroll below the output for a discussion of submitting this back to the project.

In GNS3, go to File > Import Appliance and make sure that your appliance imports correctly. GNS3 will provide guidance if there’s a formatting error. Looking at the JSON above, you can imagine that a common mistake is unmatched brackets!
If the GNS3a file loads, test it by creating an instance. You need to test at least any new versions you added. Make sure the appliance boots without error and that expected interfaces are available.
Once the pieces are working, submit the appliance to the community by cloning the GNS3-registry on Github and adding in your file.
git clone https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-registry.git
If you’ve already cloned it, make sure that your branch is up to date. Upstream is the original source (in this case the GNS3 copy).
git fetch upstream
Two Python programs are included in the repo. Run them both on your copy before continuing. These are QA processes that look for issues before you submit. They will take a little time to run.
pip3 install -r requirements.txt # this does __pip3 install jsonschma__ and __pip3 install pycurl__
python3 check.py
python3 check_url.py
Next push your local copy to your github copy. In Github terms, origin is your copy on Github, and master is the local copy.
git add .
git commit -m "Updated Security Onion"
git push -f origin master
Now we have an up to date local copy of the gns3-registry that includes our updated gns3a appliance and we’ve updated our fork on Github. Next, we offer our update to the project via a Pull Request. You are going to be one of the cool kids!
Go to the gns3-registry repository on Github and select the Pull Requests tab and click the big green New pull request button. Under Compare, select the link to compare across forks (since your copy is a fork) and select your fork. It should show you the changes to files so take a moment to digest that and make sure this PR is doing what you want. Finally, submit the Pull Request. Github will email you when there’s an update to the request. If the GNS3 team has a question, they’ll submit a comment on the PR and leave it open for you to resolve. Otherwise, it will get merged in and all the other GNS3 users will be able to enjoy your hard work!
Thanks!
