>>2456351
I had no idea it got updated, thanks.

I'm writing a tutorial/guide thing on how to hack typical SNES title screens. Here's a sample.

Semi-related to the OP image, I came across a graphic hack for SMW that changes the art to use assets from All-Stars and Yoshi's Island. I've always thought that SMW had a weak art style in comparison to the other SNES Mario games so this is pretty nice to see.

All I want is powerful level making tools for SMA4

>>2460823
This is ridiculous.

I looked at the list posted above and checked google... but I am not having any luck.

Are there any Genesis hacks that aren't of Sonic games? There are several games I would like to see get something but it just seems like no one is interested in them like they are the NES and SNES. Is it a matter of difficulty or just lack of interest?

Ideally it wouldn't just be a reskin of something but a complete overhaul like Parallel Worlds or Super Metroid Redesign.

There are several games that I feel could really benefit and have new life breathed into them.

Is there a ROM hack of Megaman Zero that restores the blood from the japanese version but keeps the english dialogs? I searched in romhacking.org but thetre's nothing there.

I know it's not quite retro, but just barely, come on.

>>2460823

that is cool.

>>2461569
http://www.romhacking.net/
If it exists, it's probably there. Have fun looking.

>>2461584
It's not there. Thanks anyway, anon.

Do fan-translations go into this general or just modifications?

>>2461624
This is ROM Gacking General.
Everything goes here. Translations are still hacks.

>>2460823

That is ugly as sin.

>>2461641

>Tried to get Mario Gives Up.
>Not in .smc format
>Wants me to patch
>Nope.jpg

I gave up.

>>2461641
This list is kinda shit.

>>2461795
no one cares that you're too lazy to spend 30 seconds patching a rom

>>2462585

>Not just patching it so it can be downloaded as a .smc

>Expecting me to do more than click download.

>Thinking I give a shit if anyone cares

I gave up.

>>2462658
It took more clicks, time and effort for you to bitch and whine in this post than it would have taken to patch the ROM.

There.

...That's fat girl porn.

>>2461728
Not really. It's different.

>>2462704
>...That's fat girl porn.
:( no it's not. I was all excited for a minute.

>>2461569
Wait, why would robots bleed?

>>2462725
I guess it isn't proposed as blood but as special effect like some sort of sparks. But as it could be misinterpreted as blood they propably removed it for the west as a precaution, like all weird censoring in the past, well and still present..

>>2462697

Thank you kind Sir

>I have decided to try again!

>>2462725
Aren't they technically organic robots in this? Like replicants in Blade Runner.

>>2462819
Oh yeah? I can't remember. I only played Megaman Zero on a flash cart back when the Japan release first got dumped, so I don't know much about the plot.

>>2462834
I honestly don't know either, since they were organic in Legends at least.

Sorry for clogging the thread up with my autism.

>>2462658
I literally have zero emotional investment in whether or not you play Mario Gives Up. I just think you're a cunt.

>>2462989

That's nice but thanks to the kind anon >>2462697
I am currently playing it.

I think you are a fine upstanding person.

>>2461551
that just makes it easier to face fuck that big green cocksucker

>>2461590
I wonder why this isn't a thing. I don't imagine it would be hard to either A) swap the dialog to the Jap version or B) swap the blood to the English version.

>>2463224
Assuming there isn't much else different aside from the blood and dialog, could try doing a comparison of the two different roms and isolate the blood effect.

>>2461795
>>2462658
Holy fucking shit you are the scum of the earth

It really isn't that good. God-tier level design? Not really.

>Find out VIP Mario series has been translated up to 3

Holy shit there is some brilliant shit in these games.

>>2463443
Yeah. But it had a story, that's all those suckers care about. Doesn't even have to be a good one.

Any chance you could upload the archive onto mega? It seems inconvenient to download each file individually.

Oh, and have you ever considered adding a category for convenience hacks such as Simon's Redaction or Metroid + Saving, etc?

>>2463450
Why not 4 aka the best? Maybe I'll do it if you can just edit the strings directly in Lunar Magic, shouldn't take too long.

>>2463998
Maybe the guy doing them just hasn't done 4 or 5 yet?

>>2463998
4 is in-progress and 5 hasn't been started yet.

http://horikawaotane.pythonanywhere.com/vip5

But seeing as the front page of the site hasn't been updated since 2013, I don't have high hopes for them being finished.

I finally finished working on world2, along with changes to world1. If theres any bugs, problems or anything feel free to say.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/produb1a6a5kkhr

>>2460832
Why SMA4 rather than SMW?

>>2466209
If someone could get all those features into SMW that would be nice too. I guess SMBX mostly scratches that itch.

>>2466668
That would be nice for sure but some of those features would be incredibly hard to do. Sprites that rotate or grow or shrink would require a patch and I can already tell you the way Spike Tops work in SMA4 would be hellish to do in SMW, as Spike Tops in SMA4 can walk on 45 degree slopes which they can't in SMW as slopes are coded in an incredibly weird and fucked way.

>>2460832
To be honest, I'd settle for a hack that incorporates all of the ereader content into the rom itself. Which would probably have to be done anyway, if level editor tools were ever made.

>>2463432
Some of us can't patch because we are on a different os, such as GNU/Linux.

>>2467826
You're aware a number of emulators can read the rom & ips patches as one file on their own, right?

>>2467826
There are IPS patchers for literally every single operating system. Lunar IPS is shit anyway. Also, what >>2467861 said.

>>2467826
So am I, I just use python-ips.

>>2467817
I also want this. Surprised it hasn't happened yet.

>>2468124
Editor development started in late 2009.
not much has happened since.

Which is weird, because from what I gather, it isn't all that complicated.

What is a good Super Metroid hack that's hard? Any good kaizo?

bump real quick

>>2469101
There's no such thing as good kaizo hacks.

>>2462725

robots bleed oil.

>>2461559
>Are there any Genesis hacks that aren't of Sonic games?
http://www.romhacking.net/?page=hacks&genre=&platform=11&game=&category=&perpage=20&title=&author=&hacksearch=Go
I would say Yes, but as to quality, I dunno. From the looks of it, the most complete ones are for Mortal Kombat games.

>>2462725
Well, it's kind of been a thing in the Megaman X and Zero canon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h53_NGLyErE

Why is Super Metroid Phazon not on the list?
Seriously one of the best hacks I've ever played.

just played rockman 4 burst chaser x air sliding the other day, excellent couple hours of fairly easy but well-made content. Feel like the level length should have been increased to compensate for all the FAST. Also ended the game with 8 energy tanks on the first run through.

ROM hacking is always something I wanted to get in to but I never really knew how. What would be a good way to start (besides Lunar Magic I guess)?

>>2473478
http://www.romhacking.net/start/

SMW hacking is easiest, same with games that has level editors(if you just want to make new levels or just mess around).

>>2473537
Alright thanks. I'd like to learn ASM hacking at some point to create something more impressive, though that would take some time and practice, so level editing is probably good to start.

>>2456325
Is there a section anywhere for GBA romhacks?

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2427/
This here is an interesting little hack. Ultimately, very little ends up being changed, and Norfair ends up becoming a much friendlier place in the process, but the different route you have to take after beating Kraid is a nice mix-up. (Don't let the tube room fool you, you're supposed to head up into Maridia after beating Kraid.) Also a little challenging, because you have very little health and Maridia enemies do huge damage when you only have the Varia suit.

>>2474976
just don't sequence break for power bombs and you should be fine. tube broke before i even laid a single PB, and i never entered the room before that.

>>2476289
The tube starts out pre-broken in this hack, otherwise there's be no way to proceed after Kraid. (Without using tricks, that is)

Anyone here familiar with PSX game script extraction?

I'm playing around trying to extract the Japanese script of Wild Arms. I created a hex -> kanji table file and can extract lines just fine. Problem is, between different portions of the game they reassign different characters to some of those hex values, so I'd have to update my table accordingly, and to do that I'd have to figure out where and how they reassign those values. Or I guess manually go over every line, see if it looks fucked, navigate to that portion in-game and see what characters are supposed to be there.

Is this shit common for PSX games, or did I just pick the worst game possible for this?

>>2466127
That webm looks baller.
Can't wait for final version.

>>2477094
That seems like a strange way to store a script. Are you sure it isn't just compressed?

>>2477456
It's not compressed as I can edit the text how I want and it works fine. It's all stored in this CDSTG.bin file which is like 72MB. Big blocks of lines with huge amounts of who-knows-what in between.

>>2477558
Most compression schemes start with uncompressed text that you can freely edit. Then as more text gets read into the buffer, repeating patterns are identified an copied from the buffer.

Do you have an example of a line that changes like you're describing?

>>2477094
Sounds like they're using some kind of dictionary compression. Is there an extra byte before the stuff that changes? Similar to how kanji appears in hex.

Ready for Super Mario Maker to make you guys all obsolete?

:^)

>>2477738
Oh so it's gonna have a custom scripting system, and a way to import new graphics and sound?

>>2477781
Yep. My dad works for Nintendo.

;^P

This is a bit more about modern games, but I suppose the way for older games was similar.
How do modders find a way to extract a games resources and change a map etc?

>>2477738
>nsmb physics
nope

>>2477738
What's Super Mario maker?

>>2477738
I don't think Mario Maker will make ROM hacking obsolete, it will just give a different platform for people to make levels with.

>>2477834
The physics and mechanics depend on the tileset you choose

If I'm going to play only one of the following:
>Chrono Trigger; Crimson Echoes
>Chrono Trigger: Flames of Eternity

Which one is the better one to play?
Posted in the CT thread but wanted to ask here also

>>2478510
This.
It actually reminds me a lot of Super Mario Bros. X at this point, just without the ability to use custom graphics and music.
SMBX didn't make ROM hacking obsolete, why would SMM?

>>2479441
SMBX is hardly user friendly, and it doesn't offer the ability to change physics, and it's physics engine is also really bad.

>>2478695
Jeez, that's a good question. I'd personally say FoE just because it pisses ZeaLitY off. And it feels a bit more Chrono-ey.

>>2479453
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought SMBX's physics suck ass. I would have totally used it otherwise.

So, I've seen several entries on RomHacking.net where some guy's been converting several mappers in & out on some NES games, (UNROM to MMC3, MMC1 to MMC3, Etc.) Do the games benefit in any way from these swapped mappers?

>>2483342
People tend to do things like this just becasue they are possible.

>>2483504
Source: I modified Vs. The Goonies pallette to run on a real NES. But since it was Mapper 75 it could not be put on a real cart. Cue help from someone else who helped me get rid of the insert coin screen and someone else who found a flag somewhere that allowed it to run as a standard mapper. I now have a Vs. The Goonies NES cartridge with a label I designed myself and it is glorious.

>>2479453
Mario ROM hacking scene is going to be okay. I bet that most of Super Mario Maker's target audience would never make a hack in the first place.

>>2483342
I thought one of the advantages is that the games are supposed to run smoother, as in less slowdown with MMC3... but I tried the Metroid hack and it still crawls.

Bump.

SMW central is currently holding C3. Did anything good released yet?

What the fuck am I playing

>>2474976
I'm surprised anyone here would care to play this. Considering it being a fairly low key hack. IIRC, I did try and rescale the enemy difficulty at least a little bit. Not that most shit in this hack makes sense (lol floating fish.)

>>2483342
It's to make things smoother for further hacking IIRC. Gameplay wise it should be the same.

>>2490812
The premise behind it sounded really interesting, so I just had to play it.
It does need a bit more work though, like you said with the floating fish and other enemies, and there are numerous bugs and even an inescapable situation that need fixing.

>>2490832
It was really made as a joke several years ago. I didn't actually plan on uploading it to RH.net simply due to the rather low quality of it. However, someone else decided to do so.

I don't really have any intentions of going back and fixing it. Even if I had the time to go back and fix any of my old hacks, and if I could be arsed to do so, then there are other hacks that'd be higher priority.

>>2490869
Oh shit, when you said you tried to rescale the enemy difficulty I assumed you were just adjusting the hack yourself, not that you had made it.
It may have been a joke, but it was still a fun little diversion. Sometimes, it's just the little things. Good job, man. I loved it.
Especially Crocomire melting because of just a little bit more water pressure.

>>2490876
Thanks, always nice to hear when someone enjoys your work.
If you want to try another small gimmicky project I made there is Darkness Returns: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1610/

Pic related.

>>2490932
I will jump on that as soon as I can.

>>2490932
>>2490981
That was trippy.
I was not expecting any of those boss fights when they happened. I was especially unprepared for the second one.

>>2491140
Cool. Did you find all the hidden stuff though? There are two beam upgrades and quite a few other upgrades. :P

>>2491181
Not entirely sure.
I found two Accel Charges, Plasma Beam, couple Energy Tanks, and the rest of the stuff that looked required (Spring Ball, Speed Booster, Space Jump, Gravity Suit)

>>2467826
Lazy ips

Could any anon be great enough to hack kyuuyaku megami tensei to boot into the second Mt game instead of the first main menu that makes you pick either game❓

I want the rom to act like a standalone Mt two game and I feel itd be cool since the famicom version never got translated. Hacking is beyond me and if any anon could do it id appreciate it.

>>2490781
How is it? The description on RHDN makes it sound like the best thing ever.

>>2495417
I don't actually know. I posted before I even loaded it up and then I found my emulator wouldn't run it.
And not using ZSNES.

>>2496317
>I posted before I even loaded it up and then I found my emulator wouldn't run it.


Have you triied patching headered ROM? Most SNES hacks require roms with headers for some reason.

>>2497802
the readme file specifies an unheadered rom

>>2498120
>>2497802
Well shit. I decided to double check and it turns out my Super Mario Kart ROM is headered.
All this time I thought the only ROM I had that was headered was a seperate copy of Super Metroid.

This list needs more genesis hacks.
I really like Kid Chameleon. It has a small hacking scene, but the only hack worth playing is Heady Metal's Revenge.
http://kidchameleon.wikia.com/wiki/Drios1_Projects
I played through the whole thing on a car ride, and I thought the levels got better later in the game.

>>2461641
I'm not sure why The second reality project reload is rated so highly here. The production value is really high, but there is a lot of level design from TRSP that was just fairly garbage, and I don't really think enough was fixed.


Some levels are really good, but it's not THAT amazing even at it's best. So that it's listed to have great level design is just not something I can agree with.

Which Super Metroid hacks radically change the game? I'm not just looking for map redesigns, I want complete overhauls

Our fan-translation patch for Disc 1 of Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere has just been released:

>>2503369
Why can't I wall jump worth a damn in this? Am I timing it wrong?

>>2503483
If you mean SMA4 e-reader content, then just about everything is ported(or something similar exits), only exceptions are some random smb3 sprites missing, upside-down purple triangle blocks(running upside-down/on ceiling/on all sides) and that bubble thing(hardware limitation, might be possible with SA-1 but idk.).
I think most powerups are ported too but the tool/patch is pain in the ass to use, and the other/new one isnt finished yet.

As for my hack, I could use more custom stuff but I didnt want to go over-board with patches, custom sprites and blocks since getting everything to work is time consuming and annoying to test.

>>2503615
Hold the direction you are facing when against the wall to slide down, then press B to wall-jump, and vice-versa, holding down Y/X allows you todo wider wall-jumps. It shouldn't be that hard or complex.

>>2503627
Hm, holding Y seems to help a little, but anything more than 3 or 4 rebounds seems to fail on me.
Also in the first Mushroom house it says "expections" when you mean "exceptions"

filename? smwcentral is a massive clusterfuck

>>2498196
Do you happen to have that hack mirrored on some better file hosting site?

I'm a frequent lurker on /vr/, but I never thought to post this here before. A few years ago, I made a patch of Grond's Final Fantasy that improved the graphics, and initially whored it out on GameFAQs. I doubt I'll go back to working on it any time soon, but it's fairly complete. Check it out:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tue1c9auo13db4s

Not sure if there's any interest, but I have a rebalancing hack for Final Fantasy Legend 1 that aims to make the game more difficult. Many of the boss stats are pumped up, but transformable monster stats are left alone.

I've also slipstreamed some other changes into the patch, like bugfixes and grammar / translation fixes done by other parties.

https://www.sendspace.com/file/dqwizf

I've played through the hack several times with different party combinations, so I'm confident any combination can beat the game. I even managed to beat it with a solo character.

>>2503478
Project Base just adds new mechanics and doesn't change the map.
I think he's looking for something that adds new mechanics AND uses a new map.
A complete overhaul, not half of one.

so it's a hack of a hack? interesting

>>2505245
There isnt all-in-one patch for all of them, in smwcentral they have all patches, sprites, blocks etc separate, so you have to use search function(in any selection press control+F) to find them, and then insert them by yourself.

>>2508351
Assuming anon is browsing from a PC. I see more and more people using their phones lately.

>>2508439
actually Im just blind, you can bring the search thing by clicking "Filter Results" (control+F also shows it).

>>2507881
It's just a graphics patch, nothing more. Years ago I attempted to bring all the different improvement patches together, but when I saw Grond's version, I decided to use that instead. I even got his blessing to release it.

>>2508439
>browsing with your phone
disgusting

>>2508878
I've tried here and there and you are absolutely right. Disgusting.

Hey, I'm really enjoying all of the MSU1 hacks coming out, but why does everyone make the volume adjustment a separate patch?

Is the volume hard-coded in the ROM so a menu couldn't be ASM'd in? One game in particular, Top Gear 2, even has volume options in the menu already, but obviously they have no effect when using MSU sound.

Or even better, could we just normalize the volume between the emulators and SD2SNES?

Someone should patch the PSX Cotton with the PCE-CD's soundtrack.

>>2510451
>Hey, I'm really enjoying all of the MSU1 hacks coming out, but why does everyone make the volume adjustment a separate patch?
because bsnes/higen does not output at the same levels as sd2snes does aka emulation vs hardware-emulation

Can someone help? I downloaded the Mario Gives Up Romhack from Romhacking.net (or whatever), the Lunar IPS 1.02 tool from FuSoYa's website, but when I patch my Super Mario World (U) [!] rom I get a corrupted file that doesn't work. Is my rom fucked up?

>>2517094
run your rom through this:
http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=4603
and then try again

>>2517094
Also try a different emulator? I find NEStopia to work in most cases when Jnes or others don't.

>>2517153
mario gives up is snes/smw hack, and no, emulator doesnt make difference in most cases unless you are using outdated/old emulator, or hack requires specif emulator.

>>2517094
>http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=4603

If your SMW rom is from the No-Intro database it is unheadered, many old roms are from the GoodSNES-database and therefore headered.

Try removing the header with SNEStool and then patch it.

>>2517195
It could actually be the other way around, what with smwcentral's fetish for headered roms.

>>2517153
there were a couple of rom translations that I patched (Dracula-Kun & Wai Wai World II) and tried on NEStopia, but they simply would not work. Thankfully, they're not particularly text heavy games

>>2517216
Lunar Magic, the essential SMW editor only accepts headered ROMs. No fucking idea why, though, but the author has always emphasised its importance. It's odd, really. It's just $200 bytes of literally anything and serves NO purpose emulation-wise.

>>2515601
z-factor

>>2517269
Lunar Magic came out years before byuu's autistic anti-header crusade. Good roms straight to/from the copier had them, so it made sense to keep them.

The important part is consistency. If LM didn't force everybody to stick to one all the SMW hackers would randomly pick whatever rom they had on hand. Half the patches out there would break your rom and the other half would break the other rom. If you applied a bunch of patches you'd potentially have to flip flop between headered, unheadered, unheadered, headered, and good luck keeping them all straight.

>>2517520
>>2517269
Also LM adds header if the rom doesn't have one, so with SMW hacks always try headered one first.

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=4603
is handy tool if patching fails for any smw hack.

>>2515657
I played it. the level design is competent. The bouncing enemies add to the fun factor and seem to be fairly well planned out. I checked the other 2 hacks in the dick nazi series and theres no level hacking but the sheer amount of offensiveness is awe inspiring.

>Hey everybody, game roms are cool, but I think we should attach some arbitrary, unspecified metadata to them that will be used for literally nothing by no application ever. And let's make all of our software require this metadata, even though we don't use it or even look at it.
headers are stupid

>>2518236
I always thought it was a remainder from the times when ROMs were all dumped from cartridge copiers like the Super UFO and Wildcard DX. Early emulators accounted for that header space the copiers had.

>>2518260
That is exactly it.

>>2517520
Goodtools contains so much trash headers are the least problem. Hundreds of wrong dumps that should be forgotten conserved for all time.

>>2517520
The No-Intro database is also very anti-header, for every system.

>>2517150
>>2517153
>>2517187
>>2517195
Thanks for the help, I got it working yesterday.

Actually really disappointed with it. Why is on the "Elder God Tier" with SMW2+3: The Essence Star. That one is amazing, Mario Gives Up is boring. Also, one level started with me right next to a goal tape and a rail platform that got stuck between some blocks and never progressed. Is this game even finished?

Me and a jap friend want to make an attempt to translate some nes games/gameboy games
What's the application we can use to change the text in a nes/gb(c) game?

Hey duders. I want to start a romhack of Mario 1 or 3. Ive dabbled in pokemon romhacking before and Im no stranger to programming or, disassembly or hex editors. Where do I start?

>>2521326
There's an SMB3 editor called SMB3 Workshop. I don't know anything about it, apart that it can presumably edit SMB3.

For SMB there's definitely a disassembly, but not sure what else. Mario games are hacked to death, so there'll probably be something to suit your needs.

>>2521106
There's no universal text editing tool that works on all games. You have to figure out the format of the text, where it's stored, etc. for each individual game. And then write the tool yourself.

>>2519930
I fail to see how much cocks I put in my mouth/anus (running total zero) could effect the performance of the rom.

And to counter-act your other points: Essence Star has good palettes, diverse environments, music that works well on the SNES (emulated) hardware, and best of all, level variety.

As far as I've seen of Gives Up, the palettes are unchanged World palettes, every level has been grass plain or beach (very uninteresting) or generic gfx ripped from Secret of Mana 2, music that is just "song from another game" which sound shit when converted to meet hardware requirements, and every level has just been "go left and jump on things" -granted that's the basic Mario Formula, except games like Essence Star like to add a bit of exploration and occasional backtracking.

>>2521357
A hex editor with relative search works on like 99% of the cases. At least for GB/GBC. Haven't hacked NES so no idea about that.

>>2521554
Ironically, most of my gripes about SMW 2+3 are the same as your complaints about Mario Gives Up. I found the overall level design is bland and very linear even by SMW hacking standards. The levels are as varied as the ones found in NSMB games, the music choices are nothing special and the custom graphics clash pretty badly most of the time. It does something different and I appreciate that, but the execution could be a lot better.

>>2521594
Yeah, naturally you'd start with that. It just won't take you all the way there, you still have to figure out the control codes and pointers. And relative search isn't always so straightforward with Japanese text as it is with English text.

So I've been playing Brutal Mario, and I'm about five worlds into it when I found out I missed the Blue Switch Palace. Apparently I needed to find a secret exit in Lemmy's Castle but I can't go back to Lemmy's Castle because I beat it the normal way and the castle crumbled. Is there any way in Brutal Mario to restore the castles, or do I need to start the whole game over? I really don't want to have to do the former.

>>2523053
*I really don't want to have to do the latter.

>>2523053
... you can't do the L+R trick?

>>2523057
>L+R trick

Wait what, you can do that? Holy shit, all these years and I never knew about that, thank you so much anon. I learned something new today.

>>2523057
I learned about that trick from watching TV, so as a kid, it was the coolest shit. Too bad it doesn't work in the All-Stars version.

>>2523057
What's the trick?

>>2523092
Pressing L and R allows you to re-enter destroyed Forts and Castles.
Doesn't work for Switch Palaces.

>>2523170
Well shit, I never knew that!

Bump.

There's a new FFIV hack that has a lot of changes to mechanics and the plot/game progression itself changes drastically after you get on the boat in Fabul.

besides a nasty difficulty spike, the game itself is fun.

think the game itself is called Unprecedented Crisis

>>2525515
Thanks. I was saving Bahamut's Lair for after I finished building my party.

The duel itself is easy if you just time your jumps right.

also kain gained a level right before leaving forever which is kinda silly

What's the easiest metal slug port to hack?

I want to make a pol theme metal slug.

>>2486012
The NES' memory mapper chips don't help with performance at all, unlike the SNES which completely depends on co-processors. All mappers do is allow the game to access more data than it normally would, provided it has been programmed to take advantage of it. One hack I remember seeing, one of those bad hacks, was something called "Brony's Alley", which was hacked to use MMC5 but didn't use it in any way.

>>2521326
Just wait until Super Mario Maker comes out :^)

>>2525958
Never say "the one above" since it might get deleted and people will start thinking you're talking about a legit remaining post. Don't address it at all.

>>2523076
It does work in the SMAS+W version.
BUT it doesn't work in the Japanese SMW.

Would anyone be interested in collaborating with me on a SMW hack?

I originally put my hack on hold to do something original which fell through because the programmer decided to quit before he even begun, so now I'm picking up hacking again for the time being.

I'm a decent level designer/graphics producer and already know how to use Addmusic/GSP/Spritetool/etc. Obviously I expect a similar level of competency from whomever is interested.

The list is now up-to-date.

Did you tweak the walljumping mechanics? They feel less wonky to me now.

>>2503369
>my face when I use ZSNES

Okay, you convinced me to upgrade, jeez.

>>2528963
Wall-jumping has been identical ever since I first added it, although I have tweaked some parts(level design) that requires wall-jumping.

Also in case someone doesn't browse smwcentral, theres update to update (no new levels outside of one minor area), just some bugfixes:

why are you using zsnes in first place? There has been better alternatives for years now.

>>2528979
Habit. I've been using it since like 2000, and just never changed. Using SNES9X now.

Game is fun so far. I like the overworld theme. Mario is a little slippery, but I guess no more so than the original SMB. Doesn't help that I suck at vidya games now.

>>2528963

>>2529157
Which one is it?

>>2503369
I don't understand what to do here.

Also, why not make it so Shy Guys can be picked up the way Galoombas normally can?

The hack overall is pretty great, I love SMB3 graphics and the walljumping feels tight, though I've only played up to this level so far.

Does anyone have pokemon recommendations? I'd like to play one, but there are so many.

>>2529384
...enter the pipe?

For the A-coin, you need to find the P-switch which is above wooden blocks in that vine part.

Shy-guys are just reskins of shell-less koopas(also walking ninji is too), I just wanted to have some variation to enemies(so that goombas arent everywhere/common enemy).
I once tired to change them to be like smw goombas but thats not possible with just editing stock smw sprite(s) (which is limited in annoying way) so I kept them the way they are now.

I could just use custom sprite(s) to make them like that but that means I have to change every single shy-guy and Im too lazy for that.

>>2529467
Meant the A-Coin, right. Thanks for the tip, I was so stumped.

Also, does every stage have five coins? I just want to make sure I'm missing something on some of these stages.

Can't seem to find the right ROM for it.

I'm curious about the following havks. Any of them worthwhile:

Hyper Metroid
The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets, even though it's not really a hack.
Zelda: The Legend of Link
The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds/Remodel
Castlevania: Blood Moon
Extra Mario Bros.

I already checked the recommendatuins, but I'm wondering if anyone has some first hand experience they'd like to share.

>>2528963
>super metroid redesign is on the list but Axeil Edition isn't

due to the different party combos you can have for the endgame, I did the last half of Unprecedented Crisis twice and it was interesting to say the least.

I could do a writeup for party combos but it isn't too tough to win even with a dumb party like my DK team which only had one healer and said healer was slow.

good hack overall, the difficulty spikes a bit too much at certain points but for the most part its pretty fun. I love FFIV so this was a good time.

also having Golbez become the Paladin if you choose to stay a Dark Knight is pretty fucking clever.

Any ideas?

>>2540873
It might just be that no one fits your competency requirements. I know I don't.
I'm also no good at level design, but I say good luck to you.

>>2541052
>>It might just be that no one fits your competency requirements
The only requirements are being a decent level designer and knowing how to use tools.

A shame though.

>>2542589
I don't even really care for Metroid all that much and I'd play it

>>2543349
Not sure you would.
While the visuals look nice, the game suffers from having enemies become bullet sponges. This is compounded by the fact that the Spazer has been modified to make your shots much weaker instead of stronger like it normally does, but with the benefit of rapid fire, the Wave Beam has been modified to deal equal damage to the regular shot with the same rate of fire, and the two beams that actually increase your shot strength (Ice and Plasma) are modified to have an abysmally slow RoF.
All that, and enemies are so strong that some can deal a full Energy Tank worth of damage with both the Varia and Gravity suits equipped.

Is there seriously a character with that name? Sounds like an American action hero parody character.

>>2555034
Yes, but after re-reading the comic, I can't seem to find a single instance where he's actually called "Armstrong." It's just "Houston" for the entirety of it. Makes me wonder where "Armstrong" even come from.

It's important to not the comic he was introduced in also introduced the concept of Samus' origins being an orphan raised by the Chozo, as well as the characters of Keaton and Hardy, all of which were re-used in the Zero Mission comic, which is apparently considered canon, but Houston himself was nowhere to be seen. So his status is ambiguous.

>>2555053
It also introduced the concept of the Power Suit being a part of Samus, being powered by her will, though in a very different way than later games (especially Other M) would portray it. It's a separate, physical suit of armour in this comic, rather than some sort of energy projection/construct as later games portray it.

That's because, aside from Mega Man hacks which usually have good music, there aren't that many good custom romhack soundtracks. Super Mario 3Mix's soundtrack has some nice 8-bit arrangements, but it hasn't been ripped yet.

Been having an itch to play some Zelda, but wouldn't know where to start. Out of the various first-party Nintendo games, it's one of the ones that I've paid the least amount of attention towards in terms of romhacking.

Parallel Worlds is the only one I even know about, but I'm a scrub who will likely end up getting fed up with the difficulty. Are there any other notable Zelda romhacks out there? Pretty much all of the ones listed in the pastebin have some sort of "TOO DIFFICULT" comment on them, but I'd rather hear what you guys have to say before jumping into that rabbit hole.

>>2591194
Parallel Worlds is an awful hack anyway. Don't bother with it.

From what I can tell, the gameplay and programming remain completely untouched

There is a much easier to use freeware Zelda 1 recreation called Zelda Classic. It comes with a level creator so there are literally hundreds of free new Zelda 1-style games. Probably the only example of a freeware recreation killing the hacking scene for a game, actually.

Can someone make a patch/ROM to enable two player mode in this SMB1 hack?

Super Mario Bros. Special X1 for NES [http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1011/]

>>2601026
So, from what I understood they both aim to uncensor EB along with offering some small improvements. But which one is better?

Hey, I just picked up Hyrule Magic and was wondering if anyone had a list of reference for the area codes? I'm trying to find specific rooms/dungeons and it's all guessing games from a rather sizeable list.

>>2600147
Have you checked OP's Mediafire account?

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11776

This hack is quite good if you like some kaizo-lite challenge.

>>2602075
sounds like a really stupid hack

>>2606051
It brings long-lost Mario game to way more accesible format, that's quite cool

>>2519628
>message the uploader asking them what happened
>no reply

Guess I'll have to drop this.

Are there any good SMW hacks for a mediocre player like me (that I can play without savestates) but still provide a gradual challenge

I still need to do TSRPR without states

>>2467826
>what in the holy fuck is wine

>>2477738
>half of smw essential features gone
>old bowser sprite replaced
>"obsolete"

lol

>>2607419
Mario Gives Up, Super "Mario" World and Toads World come to mind

>>2461641
Is this a good list? I've been having a craving for a good platformer, and the list in the OP is rather huge when it comes to mario mods, and doesnt give much detail aside from names.

any good bionic commando hack?

>>2609192
I would personally shuffle some hacks around, but it's still a good list.

Bump

Here's one that I-Mockery reviewed a while back.

Oh hey now what's this here

(it's a boss)

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11441

This hack is quite good.

Would anybody be willing to test some SMW hacks on the homebrew 3DS BlargSnes emulator?

>>2620660
give me roms and I cant test

>>2620663
Brutal Mario (older demo), Tale of Elementia, Vip 3, Mario Gives Up

>>2621068
>mario gives up
works fine, music is kinda weird but that happens with the original smw too
>tale of elemtia
freezes BlargSnes
>vip3
Didnt find it on smwcentral
>brutal mario
I dont know which demo you are talking about, but demo7 works fine


I tested few others, but seems like anything that uses SA-1, or if rom is above 2mb it doesnt work, so you can figure out what doesnt work by yourself.

>>2621363
>>vip3
>Didnt find it on smwcentral
Is it this one from the pastebin?
>- Super Mario World: VIP and Wall Mix 3 [http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=showhack&id=4851&force_old=1]

>>2621383
Yeah

Also what are some good hacks that'll run on SNES9XGX and the FCEUGX? Preferably Mario and Mega Man

>>2622624
Those two emulators arent that far apart from their PC versions, so 99% of them will work, apart from some old smw hacks. For good hacks see OP's pastebin

>>2621363
For Demo 7 did you use translated? The text on mine is a bit weird, I'm assuming you're using BlargSnes 1.3?

>>2623538
Translated yes, and yes.

Im using normal-sized new 3ds if that makes any difference.

>>2623614
Alright, just wondering

I'm using a normal sized old one, gettin a new 3ds xl on the 22nd though

Any good multiplayer hacks?

>>2623684
There's hacks that let you play 2 player Mario 64

>>2623614
do you get a hard crash when you enter the pipe next to the star

Bump. Thanks to the dude that tested them out.

Can anyone test:
Vip and Wall Mix 3
Bowser Rampages Again
Super Mario Infinity 2
Super Demo World
Super Pika Land Ultra- Vanilla
The Unworld Recharged
A Super Mario Thing
The Yoshi Cookie Crisis

That's a lot of roms but it shouldn't take long

>>2626289
Disregard this, I'm just gonna play em on my Wii

Last question I will ask for a while. SNES9XGX or Retroarch Wii?

>>2628065
there isnt much difference, use the one you like more.

>>2628346
I guess I'll stick with SNES9X GX, I can't find any differences between them and I'll mostly be playing rom hacks

>>2626289
Vip and Wall Mix 3
Bowser Rampages Again
Super Mario Infinity 2
The Unworld Recharged
A Super Mario Thing
The Yoshi Cookie Crisis

Can't test these myself, but I'd imagine these ones won't work properly, because the custom music insertion tools that were used for these hacks took advantage of ZSNES' 1.51 poor sound emulation.

>>2630703
Thanks ZSNES for making old hacks unplayable on anything that's actually accurate, setting progress back, splitting hacking communities and allowing people to execute malicious code

best emulator 10/10

Bump.

>>2468124
>>2468182

Someone is actually making a SMW hack that aims to re-create World-e. I would prefer a SMA4 hack that does that, but it's better than nothing.

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=79903

How hard would it be to hack Super Spike V'Ball to have this music?

Would anybody be interested in an SMW hack with a new OW, whole new plot (doesn't revolve around bowser/peach), ASM bosses, but has mostly vanilla level design?

I might share some details of the plot but I'm worried it'll sound too autistic

>>2636576
suck my dick-snot Specter, wont u ever fucking go away

>>2636576
This has already been done... it's called super mario all-stars.

>>2637507
He's been here since 2013 iirc, I quite like him

>>2637558
you can slurp up his dick-pizzle as well, right after you guys slurp mine. then how about i drop dook down your throat hole

Daily reminder to report shitposts on sight.

>>2637469
Maybe

>>2460823
Could I patch this to a 100% vanilla hack like Return to Dino Land?

NES hacks work seamlessly on my everdrive. Real hardware ftw

Would the SNES hacks be just as easy, if I bit the bullet on another everdrive?

>>2638497
It doesn't work the way you think it does.

>>2638497
Most of them works, some old smw hacks doesnt work(due to custom music, this was fixed later on), but ones I have tired works perfectly fine.

>>2638497
Mario Adventure doesn't work on my NES Everdrive.

>>2637981
A little epilogue skim, hopefully it doesn't sound autistic: Peach, now the ruler of the self-declared Mushroom Empire after the abdication of the Mushroom King, is now the suzerain of Sarasaland under a treaty with Daisy. Peach and Daisy then begin to mobilize against Bowser's Koopa with the help of.. well, Mario. The invasion is a success, and the Empire begins to use their newfound power to conduct traveling expeditions to far-away places. They reach an uninhabited archipelago named Sunspire (which is the setting of this hack) and Mario and Peach's guards claims it for the empire. Suddenly, a unit of Peach's guards go rogue and decide to claim the islands for themselves. Now, in W2 the uprising's leader (p. much known through the game as The Regent) agrees to work with an underground Koopa group and a man known as "The King". That's pretty much all I can say for right now, but let's just say the King was a final boss for a Mario game once

>>2638645
bumpin

In the first castle you defeat the rogue Toad leader but he returns later as a boss in the game, then in W2 an airship fleet arrives under the command of the same Toad with the help of the Koopa rebels but you don't fight him again until W7. From W2-W7 it's securing the islands and defeating the rulers of each world, in W7 you finally defeat the regent for good, then you meet The King and W8 is a world where time goes absolutely in reverse, the King reverses time to get rid of Mario by going back in time through the games, you'll find that each level has a gimmick (The Subcon level has a Birdo fight, in SMB1 level you can't go back or change your jump direction, etc), then you defeat the boss, do this and that, and head into W9

>>2638645
*prologue

>>2638497
Some hacks of Squaresoft RPGs don't work, including CT FoE, FF6 RotDS, and FF6 T-Edition. A good rule of thumb is that if it has custom music, it probably won't work.

>>2609596

there's one that puts the swastikas and Nazi references back into the game called Bionic Commando 99. the patch is available at romhacking.net

>>2521554
>go left and jump on things
That would be awesome. You hardly ever get to go left in 2D Mario games.

>>2638645
>>2640490
It's Wart.

>>2460823
I actually love SMW's art style. This is still neat though.
Also, I saw someone playing a SMW romhack with 64 long jumping and stuff like that. What romhacks have that? The one being played was "Le Avventure Di Mario 3"

>>2641878
Nope. He's 宇宙怪人

>>2642396
Dunno about long lump, but Chomp and Mario's 100sec Challenge have (rather wonky) wall jump implemented in addition to normal moveset.

How hard is it to learn ASM?

>>2643784
Do you got any programming experience? Or experience with low-level programming languages? A low-level programming language is one where you have to write down everything you want a processor to do. ASM is basically one step above machine code, so there's very little abstraction involved. Compare some random, high-level language

X = Y + Z

to

PULL Y FROM MEMORY
PULL Z FROM MEMORY
ADD Y AND Z
STORE THIS NUMBER TO X

That's all pseudocode (the syntax is correct, but the commands obviously aren't), but as you can see it takes a lot more effort to do a relatively simple thing.

Not to mention the type of assembly the Super Nintendo uses, 65c816 assembly, isn't used very much any more, so don't expect too much support if you run into problems.

Tl;dr it's certainly not the easiest programming language out there, that's for sure.

Regardless, if you want to start learning, try this out:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Super_NES_Programming

Zsnes wont play rom hacks for me, wat do?

>>2645147
use snes9x or higan.

Or learn how to patch roms correctly

The list is now fully up-to date.

How do you forget to morph ball

To be fair though I forgot how to open the red doors when I first tried to do my full SM play through
