>no Zero Mission hack that removes the dumb zero suit section

Been playing a lot of SM74-EE recently. That shit is brutal but playing with savestates is actually pretty fun

>>3412661
What dumb zero suit section? Oh you mean the cool zero suit section?

I bet you hate Other M too, you big phony.

>>3412965
Fuck off Dobson

>>3412965
It's tedious and slow. It's not fun.

I don't hate Other M, but it isn't a very good game from an objective standpoint. It has some neat things like the dodge mechanics, but it sort of fails at everything it sets out to be. And from a fan's perspective, the art and design direction isn't good compared to Super Metroid or Prime 3.

Can anyone recommend any interesting platformer hacks besides the Mario ones?

Updated.

>>3413036
is the slowpoke a joke on how he forgot to get out of the game?

>>3413318
Pretty much.

We also needed a Pokemon rep. Pikachu is overrated so we just went with a Slowpoke instead.

>>3413318
It's like a triple joke.
He's so slow he didn't get out of the ROMhack
He's so slow he's using a Gen 1 sprite in a Gen 2 game
He's so slow he's still using Pokemon Green's sprite.

>>3413336
It's actually a quadruple joke if you notice what he evolves into and what Team Rocket was doing to them in Johto.

>>3413036
Perhaps Samus should go

Morph Ball => Power Suit => Varia?

>>3413036
Why does Crash have black pants?

>>3413492
I think theres enough samus with just a zero and a varia plus the metroid deserves some love too

>>3413513
Color limitations.

>>3413492
>morph ball

That's kinda lame. But Power Suit into Varia can work.

>>3413513
I dunno. Someone made the sprite like that. You're welcome to change it up a bit if you want. Just keep the rules of a GSC sprite in mind.

Honestly I think vidyamon should be it's own thread. It's more art at this point than hacking.

Anyhoo, there needs to be a Magikarp-like mon. Something that's fucking worthless but turns into a beast with training. Any ideas?

>>3413552
Meh, I don't want to take up board space for this. Besides, it gives a chance for /rhg/ and /heg/ to shine.

Also, that's what the weighted companion cube is for. He turns into GlaDOS. If you're asking who replaces Magikarp and Gyarados in the dex then that happens to be Koopa and Parakoopa.

dude this is fuckin rad

how did they even make this

>>3413036
>Rhythm Heaven Wrestler
Why not that one chick who gets fucked a lot in the porn flash?

>>3413659
Because they replace the Machop line. Urban Champ > Wrestler > Asura

If you want you can put the reporter in the sprite with the wrestler. She get's fucked a lot too.

>>3413673
ahh i see

i think she only got fucked like once or twice tho might be remembering it wrong

Is there a patch that adds in the cave music from the SMB2 beta into the final game?

That music kicks all sorts of ass

>>3413036
That Bowser looks like he's drawn by the guy who draws all the bara pictures and ships him with Dedede.

Did Ryu, had to imitate his taunt from Third Strike so he could fit in the damn box

>>3413754
I'm glad that you liked my sprite, anon

>>3413758
the best
the best
the best
the best

Which one?

>>3413893
I'd say the one with the skin tone

>>3413893
Yeah the one on the left

>>3413893
left since it resembles it more

>>3413893
Lighten the shade of brown on the left.

>>3413959
like this?

>>3413979
Looks good to me.

>>3413960
Chuckled. Are you playing this up just for fun or for the final release too?

>>3414054

I'll release a patch soon. I honestly think this patch might be better than what that other swedish dude uploaded.


In any case, final release my youth. I'm going to claim it on romhacking before those elitist faggots do it and host the rom/patch on my site.

>http://dmanufacture.com/t-snts.php
>inb4 the site is hideous

KEK.

>>3414173
Horrifying.

>>3413036
GANBARE

Did you give up on the octoling? Are you still open to help?

>>3414173
My nigga (jim)

>>3414273
Yeah I wanted more room for more ips so I removed the Zora as well. Inkling is more than enough representation for Splatoon. If you want, you can do an Octoling sprite too. There's an alternate section for a reason.

>>3414303
What reason is that?

Tryin' Snake now

>>3414303
So you can exchange sprites when others decide to make their own game using the sprites. Like for example, I'm making the other two Mega Men from Star Force and Battle Network so I can replace X and Volnutt whenever I create alternate games. Same with Luigi replacing Mario. Or maybe make space for some Metroid forms people have been asking for.

>>3413036
the autism can't be contained

>>3414326
What's that supposed to mean?

>>3414326
Whats so autistic about a community project with nice ideas and good sprites?

>>3414337
>that Waddle Dee and King Dedede
>good
Hold up I'll make you some actual good replacements.

>>3414348
Not with that attitude.

>>3414358
Oh snap, son

Haruka from idolmustard.

>Parappa is Eevee
>evolves into idols

you clever bitch

>>3414361
I'm almost glad you beat me to her, I was going to make it Harukasan

Starman Back

(On a side note, I know all the characters are decided, but I would've liked to see Crono and Mr. Saturn somewhere. Or any Chrono Trigger characters)

>>3414370
Yeah I kind of dropped the ball when we decided all of the characters. I wasn't too into Chrono Trigger but I did manage to squeeze one in somewhere. He's inbetween Frogger and Ninja Turtle.

>>3414387
Oh neat. I thought that was referring the the Kaeru from Prince Sable's game. I may give the Chrono one a try

>>3414317
Does his sprite include a box? Please tell me it does.

Going with JFK

>>3414432
Yeah, it does actually. Might scrap it for better color usage though.

Ask not what can your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

>>3414508
What game?

>>3414630
Black Ops

>>3413015
There are bunch of good Mega Man hacks. Rockman 4MI, Megaman 5: Indonesian Artifact and Rockman 5 Install Metal are probably the best ones.

>>3412661
there should be a hack that not only does this, but also removes the chozo statues

>>3413015
Good Yoshi one would be SMW2+2
Sonic has Sonic Megamix

Man, this game can be annoying to translate sometimes. It's got a few sections (Ace for example) that start off with Byte 22 (which is the opening quote), followed by just 2 bytes. You'd think after the opening quote, 15ish other bytes would follow representing the other characters but instead there were only 2 fucking bytes. 03 0D or something, and that pointed to a completely different address where the 15ish characters of text was contained. It's actually kind of interesting that they do that, and I'm glad I was able to tackle it down at least. I've already started translating River South (the next area).

>>3413036
>link evolves into wolf link and not Fiercy Diety Link

>>3415669
Triggered

>>3415669
Why though?

>>3416365
>>3416370
because they tell you exactly where to go

its pretty gay and wasn't part of the original game

Crimson Echoes or FoE? I heard that FoE was just a shitty version of Crimson echoes but that was quite a few years back.

>Hacking help

Playing Final Fantasy Restored and I tried IPS patching BB Antheosis directly into it, and it borked the new music. Is there a known workaround for this?

>>3413036
That Umihara Kawase sprite is great

>>3415667
>>3415679
Thanks. I'll check them out later.

>>3416708
Fair point. Yeah it would be better off without them.

>>3414173
What if we make a pc sprite?

>>3417447
That would be retarded

>>3413632
How come people ignored this?

Tough to be fair, i think its just a reskinned links awekening in the overworld. Too much white.

Added some shit, changed some shit.

Were more than half way done with frontsprites. Still need a buttload of backsprites.

Also, do you guys think Crash looks a bit too derpy compared to everyone else? He's the only one out of the bunch that I don't like too much.

>>3417950
That Rayman did.

>>3417069
The only one who would think Crimson Echoes is better is Zeality. FoE is better just because it's the same thing minus the more retarded moments.

Crono never kills anyone in cold blood, Kino doesn't get killed off for the sake of a shitty ship, and the stupid references to anime were removed, plus the difficulty is better balanced.

>>3418093
Feet still look weird, need to be drawn bigger from a side perspective.

Add these two to the list.

Is anyone taking Alex kidd? Because dibbs.

>>3418506
Daxter is actually the best game in the Jak & Daxter series.

>>3418508
So the other 3 suck ass?

>>3413036
Is this an actual hack someone is making?

>>3414508
>>3414370
Are you the one making these?

Can you do a Trump one?

>>3418546

>>3418547
Sorry, this is for video game characters.

>>3418554
Then why are there memes like pepe and vivian there?

Anyway I am currently making my own pokemon red hack about memes, and I suck at pixel art.

what should I do.

>>3418557
Oh those. They're optional apparently. When the sprites are done, I'm gonna replace the Pokémon sprites with the vidyamon and leave the rest out.

Also, post your sprites so we can see how good are.

>>3418567
>Also, post your sprites so we can see how good are.
I'm trying to draw but im really bad at it.

The only thing I'm doing is taking images, making the color 2-bit then shrinking them down to 40x40 pixels, then touching it up a bit.

>>3418557
Trainers and such. Pokemon are vidya, Trainers are jokes that you might see as someone's Steam icon or something. Actually, a Trump trainer might work.

>I suck at pixel art, what should I do.
Read some tutorials and practice.

>>3418582
>Read some tutorials
Got any good links?

>>3417950
Who's that female trainer, presumably the player 2?

Also, I prefer the alternate Dracula and Little Mac.

>>3418603
It's /vp/tan

>>3418608
Alright.

>>3413036

>>3418658
>>3418668
shit I JUST realized I could make them 56x56, god dammit

in the one folder most of them were 40x40

but there are also 56x56 sprites there that work too

>>3418582
>Trainers

Do you need a CWC sprite?

Could do a CWC/Tomgirl version aping the "cool couple" if you want.

>>3418675
A chrischan sprite would be cool and all but can we focus on the main vidyamon lot first?

>>3418547
It's a group project, multiple people work on it. also probably not

I hate doing backsprites...
>>3418502
I'm the guy who did the Rayman one, feel free to edit it

>>3417950

>>3418579
thats a small awoo

>>3414173
>>3417447
>>3417451

I dont care

>>3419819
We can make a second patch that adds it back in

>>3419848
that means, you dont mind? how many sprites does he or other black characters have?

>>3419854
I'd rather you not censor it, but if you did we could just uncensor it so it really doesn't matter.

>>3419819
Takes away some of the charm in my opinion. It's like censoring the word "nigger" in the actual Tom Sawyer books.

>>3419819
>>3419848
>censoring art
Don't change Nigger Jim.

>>3419932
>censoring anything

Oh no! Just think of the children!

>>3419486
Anyone feel free to edit anything if you see room for improvement.
Varia next.

>>3420040
Not bad, but it can be improved.

>>3412407
>sonic 1 next level in the OP
nice

>>3420175
Do you have suggestions, or are you going to do it?

>>3420216
This, one of the best romhacks Sonic hacks ever. I wonder if its creator is working with Whitehead on that new game.

>>3420218
if he was working on it i would jizz my pants

>>3420218
I'm working on it. Don't worry.

>>3419819
To be fair this is better

>>3413036
Anyone else think we should divide these between the 5 or so anons spriting for the project? That way no one claims something someone's already working on

>>3418603
I also prefer the alt Little Mac, I feel the size is better.

>>3420314
Then by all means, claim away. Give others freedom to edit as well.

Also, I guess I could switch with the other Mac.

>>3420359
Well, we should discuss it first and decide how many spriters there are

>>3420368
Well there's me..

And you.

And some other guy in /heg/.

>>3420398
>And some other guy in /heg/.
Probably me, I post my sprites mainly there. I'm the clover spriter.

Anyone doing Master Higgins?

feedback for my overworld?
I'm new to this

>>3420403
Nope. I remember someone claiming Solid snake and Alex Kidd though.

>>3420445
I had Snake and Marth

>>3420443
Really simple but it does its job, reminds me of SMB3, I give it a pass. What are the dead-end levels for, is there any reason to go there other than for the sake of playing the level?

>>3420448
Clearing them will unlock doors in certain levels which contain bonuses

>>3420449
WIP

>>3420470
Nice. Wonderboy arcade was my first game ever.

Also have a bonus Peridot my friend was making for some reason. She can be a trainer I guess.

>>3420487
N-no thanks.

>>3420490
Speak for yourself. I'll add that shit to the bottom section. I mean I included facebook frog so might as well.

>>3420487
>Tumblr Universe

Higgins finished.
I'll make his backsprite tomorrow.

>>3420494
>Speak for yourself.
I was.

>>3420503
What's wrong with it?

>>3417950
Don't forget jedi ghost style Iwata.

>>3420517
Don't respond.

>>3420517
Not him, but much but with the show itself, I think Peridot's just a worse version of Invader Zim, and her fans are really obnoxious as well. SU also has been really intrusive the way fans like to cross it over with stuff, that might put some people off. I dunno.
Anyway if Tumblr Alien can get in, Reddit Scientist should too.

>>3420521
Don't be a dick.

>>3420505
Beautiful

>>3420518
Hey wait a sec, didn't simeone make that sprite a long time ago?

>>3420529
No, just a doodle of Miiwata glowing blue in a jedi robe.

>>3420527
Oh.

Well I mean she's not as bad as amethyst that's for sure. In fact all gems suck ass. Someone make a Greg sprite

>>3420527
>>3420538
/co/mon when?

>>3420542
I'd totally use Samurai Jack, Skeletor and Jasper. I think we need to focus on this one first though.

>no one knows or cares about Baten Kaitos

Done for the day. I'll do more stuff tomorrow.

>>3420720
Lookin good.

>>3420527
He definitely fits, that's a "sprite" sheet from the mobile game which is a cheap knockoff of pokemon.

>>3420607
I played a little bit of Origins and BK itself. They seemed pretty underwhelming, at least at the start. Plus Origin's English dub was fucking terrible, and I usually prefer dubs.

>>3420443
I have no idea how overworld editing works so I have no idea if you can fix it, but the Desert shores just look like they're inflatable and floating on the ocean rather than actually beaches.

>>3421154
The best way would be to do essentially what he's done around the edging for the cliff faces and use that technique to break up the black outline.

Anyone doing Rhythm Heaven Wrestler?

>>3420232
Post it when you're done please

>>3421104
You kidding me? Origins had better voices than the first one. Also, better mixing.

And let's not forget AQUA BURST LIGHT FLARE AQUA BURST LIGHT FLARE AQUA BURST LIGHT FLARE AQUA BURST LIGHT FLARE

It's good to see someone who actually played the games though.

Just updating this thing for vidyanon

>>3422554
Oh no need. I did some minor changes to it.

I'll post it in a sec.

-fixed Marios sprite. He was bugging the hell out of me
-fixed Samus up a bit
-fixed Charles Barkl-I mean Shaq up a bit
-replaced John Marston with Vibri since we have enough humans already

Anyone got any more changes they feel need to be implimented?

>>3422573
Oh yeah and switched Little mac with the other one.

Claiming Specter and Battletoad. Was anyone doing those?

>>3422573
>Topi
JP version (Seal) or US version (Yeti)?

>>3422601
US version. Unless you want the sea lion one. Up to you.

>>3422601
>>3422612
Yeti is better in my opinion.

>>3422623
Or better yet, have someone else from another game. I mean Topi is cool and all but we got a golden chance here.

>>3422612
>>3422623
kay. doing the yeti one

>>3422573
Improved a little.

So what are non-trainer alternate sprites for? Do we vote on strawpoll when we're done, or something?

>>3422649
Forgot the image.
The inconsistency I made with the arm canon was killing me.

>>3422649
>So what are non-trainer alternate sprites for? Do we vote on strawpoll when we're done, or something?
Just to meme around, I think, most of them are popular mememons on /vp/

>>3422649
No. Those are for other anons who want to switch them around when they make their own game. This isn't just for me, these sprites are for everyone to use.

Have trainer Pyukumuku as a bonus.

>>3423475
Cries will change a little. I had a tool that changed them up a bit.

If I can, I'll change the opening to Master hand flying through space like Lugia and Ho-oh.

>>3424747
I'm not the guy who made it, but that wouldn't change much. White is the best option here.

>>3424801
actually I think the one on the lower left looks perfect.

>>3424801
I like the one on the bottom left actually. Looks pink enough.

>>3424795
>Master hand
>not a character that isn't even in the game

>>3425030
And why would I put something that isn't even in the game?

Okay fine. Crazy Hand it is then

Besides you're replacing Suicune, I don't believe Lugia or Ho oh are in the Crystal intro.

I guess I can do that. But only if we use the ft. Dante from the Devil May Cry series sticker.

I know you don't like the games but c'mon, don't actually remove them. (Also, you should probably work on centering the sprites. Some of them were kind of askew)
Anyway, this is going to be the last update from me in a while. Hope to see you guys soon after.

Isn't it boring to have two suited Samuses?

>>3429364
Not really.

>>3429364
Well, yeah kinda. I think it was just some guy who pushed really hard for the change. I mean when you look at the rest of the vidyamon, they turn into unique shit.

Oh well. That's why we have an optional section. So we can swap stuff we want to replace.

>>3429364
>>3429576
I wasn't here before the creator changed his mind but I think it's better this way. Metroid 1 Samus is pretty different from the developed Varia Samus, about as much as the Ridleys. And zero suit is kinda lame imo.

>>3429598
Shut your face. Zero Suit is cool.

>>3428783
You should have made the TMNT like an eevee. It starts as a baby turtle and after you expose it to the stone best correlating to the turtles color they transform into that one.

>>3429625
No it's not, it's just the vulnerable stealth mode.

>>3429630
That's why it's cool. She still kicks ass even in her birthday suit. Plus it's not just another red suit.

>>3429626
I think having more video game characters is better than 4 ninja turtles with different weapons. Besides, they're known for their cartoon, not their games. I think having just one is fair.

>>3429894
>She still kicks ass
Not in the games

>>3429947
In smash she does.

Hooray
I'm finally done with Stage 2
Take a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1gvM-6AXgY

>tfw can't make sprites for shit
I mean, it's not like I've been trying for a long time or even practiced a lot so far but it sucks that I can't even do simple stuff well.

so, why was my post about my stage being done removed?

>thread contains zero rom hacking discussion

Did nearly every person who posted in this thread do so by accident?

I've been messing around with a way to hack any NES game graphically extremely quickly. Pic related is the start of the process I'm taking.

Sorry for posting about rom hacking in the rom hacking thread.

>>3431858
>I've been messing around with a way to hack any NES game graphically extremely quickly
didn't nesticle have a feature like this where you could hack graphics on the fly? i remember seeing it in some video.

>>3431874

To an extent.

The problem is many sprites are shared throughout stages. Mine is mapping each sprite with a different font of text.

It basically cuts work time of graphical hacking immensely and makes it easier to compare sprites from other games you may want to place in the game you're hacking.

>>3428783
Just learned I won't be able to work on this, sorry /rhg/.

>>3431874
>didn't nesticle have a feature like this where you could hack graphics on the fly? i remember seeing it in some video.
Pretty relevant to my interests... been trying to fool around with FCEUX and yychr, but they're not "for dummies" enough that I'm getting anything done anytime soon.

>>3431885
Sounds particularly useful for opening screens, too.

>>3428414
The problem is that a tiny selection of games see ROM hacks. This is the /vr/ equivalent of only TES, Fallout, and GTA getting mods of any kind.

So which is the best Sonic rom hacks? Preferably complete ones.

Checking out Sonic Burned Edition, Sonic Next Level and uhh

which fucking version of Sonic Megamix am I supposed to play? gonna check out the leaked 5.0 prototype since it's cancelled anyway

>>3433026
>which fucking version of Sonic Megamix am I supposed to play?
None, they're all shit. It may be interesting from a technical point of view, but there's no reason to play it.

>>3433047
yeah you're right, technically great, somewhat overhyped, not worth a "complete playthrough"

infact by complete i mean "you can play through the rom hack and it will have a proper start and end"

>>3432184
It's alright, I'll do it some other time.

>>3433047
>>3433062
i think it's super fun, level design is a bit off but i love the speed and some of the new moves and ideas

Does anyone know of any Gen I or Gen II pokémon ROM hacks? Preferably Gen I

Everything I can find is, predictably, gen III, or just the straight ROMs from gens I and II

>>3433385
I know Pokémon Brown and some that are just improvements. Give a look at projectpokemon.org and you'll probably find more

>>3433385
Maybe I should specify a bit too:
I'd prefer something that extends an existing region > a new region > a new fanmade region > an old region, and with no fake pokémon

The ROMs in the pastebin don't really seem that good

>>3413015
DKC2 has some ingenious ones, specially now that we have a decent hacking tool for the game.

The Lost Levels is probably my favorite of them. The only problem is that while it starts out very easy, the difficulty builds up really fast and by the time you reach the last worlds, you'll be begging for mercy. If you prefer a fair challenge, play The Kremlin's Revenge instead.

Just eject the sword ability and pause on the same frame, then exit the level. Now you won't lose sword when hit.

What is this?

Could you guys help me? I downloaded a full-color Mario Land 2 hack (http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/145/)) and it gives me this mess of tiles, no matter which version of the ROM I apply it to. I even tried changing the extension of one of them to .gbc, nothing changed. I'm running it in RetroArch's Gambatte core.

wat

>>3439059
that's because vba-m is a better emulator
a lot of rom hackers seem to dislike developing games on good emulators

>>3439037
The colors are shitty anyway, just play it in the original black & white.

>>3439175
yeah majority of the colorized gb games looks any good, they get one thing look kinda okay but everything else looks like someone puked on it.

>>3439217
Pokemon Red Full Color Hack and Metroid II DX are the only good ones I can think of, and For the Frog the Bell Tolls DX is shaping up to be really good too.

Anyone think the foreground/background clash here?
The orangey colors from the original CV stage seared the eyes compared to the background, so I dulled it up.

>>3412407
I want to use the zelda lttp randomizer which is for the jap 1.0 rom, with some other romhacks that are for the usa version. Any advice besides give up?

Can someone explain what the hacks that convert from MMC1 to MMC3 mappers do?

I've seen a lot of them on romhacking.net, but I'm not that familiar with the technicals under the hood. Does it just speed things in the game up as far as loading in from different areas on the char rom?

>>3445080
Those are mainly for making reproduction carts and for flash carts that don't support that mapper.

>>3445135
Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

will going from MMC1 to MMC3 do anything for split screen visual effect?

I've finally given in and downloaded ZSNES.
It's retarded that so many hacks need this to function. Snes9x was a better option even in the 90s.
Fuck you ZSNES.

>>3446210
The Super Mario World community didn't care.

http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21789
Hopefully dumbfucks will fix their hacks once they stop working on their favorite emulator.

>>3446263
Yeah right. They'll just stick to using 1.51 because they're stubborn.

Are there any huge romhacking scenes for any Playstation games, similar to Sonic or Mario?

>>3447517
The only other hacking scene on par with Sonic or Mario is Pokemon.

>>3447517
Disk-based games aren't as easy to hack, usually.

>>3447517
I've seen some stuff done for Crash Bandicoot, but it looks pretty limited and I dunno how much work has been done with it overall.

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

>>3448612
The GBA Fire Emblems have a pretty big scene too.

I wonder if it would be possible to remake Super Mario 64 DS in the original Mario 64, and vice versa.

Not sure if it'd count as ROM hacking exactly, but does anyone know some resources or tools for reverse engineering old 16 bit Windows applications? I tried using Cheat Engine inside a Windows XP VM attached to a 16-bit game and the disassembly it outputs is completely nonsensical (OllyDbg doesn't fare much better), other debugger features like memory watch and searching still worked fine though

>>3453271
I should mention the game is also a port of a Mac game and it uses mac2win.dll, pic related

Alternatively, since the game is also on Mac OS, any good resources/tools for reverse engineering 68k Mac programs on a modern host system instead?

The reason why so many older SMW hacks work only on ZSNES is not because they wanted to force people to use it, but because they couldn't figure out how to make custom music work on the real hardware/other emulators until pretty recently. Nowadays, SMW Central's staff will actually automatically reject the hack from appearing on the main page if it doesn't fully work on the real hardware and all the major SNES emulators regardless of its quality.

>>3454685
>>The reason why so many older SMW hacks work only on ZSNES is not because they wanted to force people to use it, but because they couldn't figure out how to make custom music work on the real hardware/other emulators until pretty recently
No, it's just that no one used anything but ZSNES. As the years went by people realized real hardware can't actually support the old tools because they were made to work with a piece of shit.

>>3454932
No, it was a little bit of both.

>>3413036
Is that JC Denton evolving into mecha-hitler? The power levels are backwards, JC is a god. And even before ascending to true godhood he is nearly immune to bullets, heals drastically faster than it is possible to take damage from bullets, destroys/detonates all other enemy projectiles at their source even when it doesn't make sense, can pick up and throw solid blocks of metal as big as the mech, can run like 60mph and jump 2 storeys, and may cloak at will. On top of being a master hacker/swimmer and whatnot. Also it's just cooler to get to use JC as a pokemon's finaru formu.

>>3454685
> Nowadays, SMW Central's staff will actually automatically reject the hack from appearing on the main page if it doesn't fully work on the real hardware
So all SA-1 enhanced hacks are auto-rejected? Doubt it.

http://helmet.kafuka.org/accuracy/
> The echo effect of the SNES DSP works by writing previous results into RAM, in order to mix with them later. This addmusic tool did not know this, because the emulator did not do this. As a result, impossible values were used for echo buffer sizes, which on real hardware and accurate emulators, results in all of the APU's RAM (and thus, program code and samples), being overwritten—crashing the game.
^ this is the only reason

>>3455594
>So all SA-1 enhanced hacks are auto-rejected? Doubt it.
Nope, VLDC8 for example uses it, and there are other hacks that uses it(and is hosted).

Only chip they dont like is MSU-whatever since apparently its clusterfuck and hosting them takes tons of space or something.

>>3455664
MSU-1 is dumb anyway

>>3455580
I would assume it's a joke based on how JC can become effective leader of the world in the end, and therefore cyborg-hitler if he chooses.

>>3455664
That's what I implied; SA-1 hacks don't work on real hardware but they're accepted to SMWCentral.

>>3456132
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6sow5atB5w
just because your shitty flash card doesn't support them doesn't mean that they don't work on real hardware at all.

>>3456182
Guhh, you know what I meant. So far that ultra-elaborate method is the only way, and no flash carts, shitty or not, support it.

Obviously I hope that SA-1 support will be implemented to flash carts soon but that's another thing.

Besides, that demo was done in September 2015, VLDC8 was done in April.

Doubling down, eh?

>>3456941
Disgusting?

>>3455594
>So all SA-1 enhanced hacks are auto-rejected?

No, but I'd imagine that's most likely because hacks like these still work on accurate SNES emulators. I definitely saw a few hacks being rejected straight away because they worked only on ZSNES.

>>3463726
It could use some more colors, in my opinion.

>>3463702
That actually sounds pretty interesting

>>3464964
It's good. The only problem is you can't go backwards in SMB. Luckily they designed the game around this, but it would be cool to see it remade in SMB3's engine.

I'm starting to wonder how long it's gonna take Nintendo to take SMW Central down with them seemingly trying to remove every single Nintendo-related fangame from the internet.

Nintendo recently took down over 200 non-profit fan games.

>>3474475
Yes I know, on Game Jolt. I already dressed that but apparently you didn't know, but developers on Game Jolt get 30% of the ad revenue generated from any of their projects. I imagine they had issue with that.

>>3476035
Didn't they also took down a few fangames from itch.io, just because they happened to feature Mario? The thing is that if you want to download a hack of a Nintendo game or a Nintendo-related fangame you should do it now. At this point I really wouldn't be surprised if they DMCA'd both SMW Central and RHDN.
