Nintendo lets shit projects go usually and stomps out the quality ones.
There was one i remember called Super Mario Bros X which was amazing in the late 2000s. There were all sorts of custom levels, objects, and an editor. Nintendo stomped that shit and released Mario Maker a couple years later lul. Also what they did to AM2R was just fucking uncalled for.

speaking of metroid hacks, and likely really old news for everyone here, but just in case anyone hasnt yet: play vitality
gorgeous hack

i was already a fan of dman thanks to eris, but the dude has gotten much better since then
the faux-pas lighting effects that he did in some spots was just slick as hell. i hope that idea catches on with other hackers. made a huge difference to the atmosphere
its a lot easier than eris, but the level/world-design is honestly on par with, even surpassing at points, the original SM itself

i really like the fake movie promo poster too desu

>>7839771
idk i think the only reason nintendo even bothered was because they realized that AM2R btfo their own M2 remake, and was getting an insane amount of buzz from players
there were normie-ass jewtubers whod never even heard of romhacks singing its praise like a day after it dropped
how would YOU like to try to sell a game for money thats not even close to as good as a game that some dude made by himself and dropped for free?

>Leaks revealed that they hired people to literally stalk homebrew devs
this doesnt surprise me at all desu
nintendo has literally always been a vicious cut-throat, probably still yakuza-run, corporation
go back to the 80s and look at their monopolistic practices in the US market. they strangled out almost all competition for over a decade, violating all kinds of anti-trust laws, and generally giving zero fucks
or take a look at the whole atari/tengen v nintendo case
the list goes on and on
and that was with their direct competitors in the market, who they knew would have a team of lawyers to back them up. didnt think twice about bullying them or trying to out-lawyer others with frivolous litigation, even if it carried on for years

now ffwd to now, where nu-tendo is still banking on the same tired old franchises they have been for decades
people buy the new bing wahoo simply because its what theyre familiar with, even though their best days were well over 20 years ago at this point
and thanks to digital re-releases of old classics and poor, imo emulation, they can no-effort shit out all their old hits on every new gen and make even MORE money and pocket it ALL

but then a challenger appears
de-centralized lone-wolf autists, fueled only by their own tism and a want for a true sequel to their old favorites, are frequently BTFOing them with their hobby projects, released for free.
they know they cant compete in that arena anymore, and they cant just sit by and let these scrubs dilute the value of their tired old IPs that theyre trying to charge full-price for
and so you have this: a giant intl corporation bullying/stalking random dudes who arent even making any money

if they had a fucking brain, theyd be hiring these dudes, not harassing them
the interest in retro-styled games has arguably never been higher, and even total normalfags now know what romhacks are

You're probably thinking of Sonic Mania, but even that wasn't originally a fan project. It was made by fans of classic games, but it was still a proper business pitch to Sega rather than being a legitimatized fan project.

[Anonymous No.7839995]

>>7839970
It's more a case of Nintendo has a really archaic 1980s business model and have never really figured out the Internet. they don't really "get" fan communities you have for franchises like FF or Sonic, they tend to view themselves as a toy company that primarily makes closed-box products for children.

[Anonymous No.7840005]

>>7839974
i think that was mania desu

but thats exactly the point
theres a whole dedicated community around ripping these old games apart and putting them back together in a different order. and some of them are extremely talented.
and its hard to argue that they arent passionate about it as theyre doing it knowing full well they can never make money off of it.
rather than trying to tap into that pool of talent, they piss in it
nu-tendo is just all about alienating their own fans. idk wtf they think is gonna happen if they keep this bullshit up

So for all practical purposes short of nitpicking it was a fan project where they said "Hey we love the classic Sonic games, we really want to make this game an official release." Nintendo wouldn't even do that, they didn't even want ID's PC conversion of SMB3 back in the day.

Hmm well they supposedly sent C&D email to guy who made SMB C64 port. now you can argue fan Metroid project was competition with official remake but I don't see how guy making SMB on old-ass 80s computer directly compete with any Nintendo product line.

[Anonymous No.7840104]

>>7840068
desu i think in AM2Rs case it was the direct competition that had them sweating

but in other cases, i think its just them going for random low-hanging fruit to try and make an example out of them. they know they cant shut it all down, so theyre just martyring a select few to try to discourage newcomers to the homebrew scene.
how they dont realize that this only serves to make them look like totally desperate fucking assholes is beyond me, but i reckon thats the point.
their entire history as a vidya manufacturer has been conducted like this. its just, in the past, they were up against other companies that had their own lawyers on retainer.
now they can just bully whoever, and rest easy that no one will be able to stop them, and that they wont get stuck in another multi-year long lawsuit

imo, not only is it stupid as hell, but it just looks fucking pathetic and unbelievably petty

Yeah, a fixed up Mega Man 1 would be nice, I considered doing it but that one in particular was programmed so hackish that it might be easier to redo it from scratch or port it to the MM2 or MM3 engine.

As for the other NES MM's, the main problem was the possibility of getting stuck in certain areas when too low on key item power, needing to off yourself repeatedly to restart or leave a stage is annoying even to us retro players.

[Anonymous No.7840550]

>>7840484
I could list a ton of problems with MM1, but just an example few;
Control was even more sluggish, sort of a stick & slide with maneuvering.
The rail-carts in GutsMan stage just don't work right, they drop the player early and cant be landed on for a bit longer than expected.
Final Boss-rush is nearly impossible to beat fairly, you either need to perfectly exploit their weaknesses and patterns or abuse the pause trick or luck out.
Similar for the whatshisname big yellow boss.

There were only three years where they forced publishers to have an exclusivity clause until a Federal judge ruled it violated anti-trust statutes.

[Anonymous No.7840891]

now Famicom had no lockout protection and anyone could make games for it. arcade company like Namco and Konami who have hardware manufacturing capability simply make their own cartridges and Nintendo don't make a penny from sales of their games. with FDS they insisted on controlling production themselves and required substantial licensing fees to make FDS games. also they get greedy and start demanding publishers back-pay them for previous sales of cartridge games. Namco get butthurt and start supporting other systems like PC Engine instead.

Nintendo doesn't give a shit about hardcore players. They only give a shit about how they can sell their latest games to children. They've always been this way, and it would help nintendofags immensely to just give up on them once they stop being newbies. You aren't the audience, so stop praying for them to listen to you. The most they will do is see your fan work, decide to make their own version, and C&D you to remove the "competition".

this was always an issue. the Famicom/NES was an exception because it started before the console market was really a thing yet and ended up becoming too big for Nintendo to control, especially in the Japanese home market where there was nothing to prevent anyone from making a game for it. beginning with the SNES they gradually turn every console into locked down casual shovelware box for children, which is really what they always wanted all along.

pretty normal to have feuds like that. Rare had internal feuds between the separate teams, and even some nintendo internals have beef with each other. There's a long-standing one, for example, about those who haven't worked under Miyamoto, feeling like they are rivals/opponents of those who have, and having a sort of pride about not working under him.

It's normal to have rivalries in a highly competitive and creative industry. It's if you act on them in a way that sabotages all parties that you go from inspired and driven to full-retard.

it's a scare tactic, but more often used to stop projects that compete with their stuff. C&D'd the Super Mario Bros battle royale before introducing their own, for example. Same with finally C&D'ing Project M over some character addition (Knuckles I think?) when they were about to release a skin of the char for Smash 4 (I find the smash one particularly funny, as so much of Smash 4 design and DLC matched shit done in Project M that it was impossible that they didn't play and copy shit. Even Smash Ultimate uses some stuff that was in Project M).

They don't care much about doing a total kill of all materials they dislike, they just want to scare people into not doing shit with their golden goose (Nintendo IP is worth more than some fan game).

Censorship of game content in NES/SNES era was probably somewhat understandable given the US marketplace at the time. the exclusivity contract for publishers was clearly illegal and eventually zapped by a Federal court, although it probably had less effect than you think. the NES's two main competitors both had terrible marketing and wouldn't have succeeded regardless.

Well no actually you can go back to cases like the Ikegami lawsuit where they lost case over ownership of the Donkey Kong arcade game. even though they owned the characters, Ikegami developed the game under contract so it was their source code and it was merely licensed to Nintendo.

Many (most?) major companies file scores of nuisance lawsuits even when they know they can't win them since unfortunately when you have a legal department, you can't pay them to sit around doing nothing. Disney or McDonalds or Nintendo are almost obligated to file frivolous lawsuits every two weeks to justify their lawyers' salaries. Don't get yourself wrong here, it's not about protecting anyone's IPs. More like you can't pay them $100k a year to sit around the office looking at porn on a computer screen.

Why would any bong be jealous of anything? We've achieved so much more in vidya than you have. Sony chose Yuros - more specifically bongs - to sell the original PS1 to the west. Our input resulted in Sony becoming the behemoth it is today. Tomb Raider, WipEout, GTA, et al; those were the games splashed all over the covers of pop culture magazines in the western world. They were the games featured on TV to promote the PlayStation, and turned gaming super mainstream. We changed the culture. You were passed up. You didn't make the cut. COPE.

Nobody really gave a shit about the Grand Theft Autos made before 3.
None of the Wipeouts even make the top 100 best selling PS1 games (and I actually find that surprising.)
There is definitely a point to be made about Tomb Raider.
However, it seems to me that the MVPs of the PS1 are neither the Burgers or the Eurotrash, but rather Japan, since they've got Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil, Tekken and Metal Gear Solid under their belt. Their output outclasses both the US and Europe. Of course, it's not really fun to throw insults at Japanese people over this dumb shit since there aren't any on this website, am I right?
In conclusion, you're all fucking gay, and this shit doesn't belong in a /vr/ homebrew thread. If you want to talk about ZX Spectrum homebrew, just do it, nobody's gonna stop you. I don't give a fuck. Nobody else should give a fuck. But this region-based arguing is fucking stupid. Shut the fuck up and fuck off back to /v/ if you're gonna be like this.

Start by mapping out data offsets. Graphics, text, numerical data, whatever, get handy with a hex editor and just keep a list of where everything is in the rom and how much space it takes up.
Then look in the rom for pointers to that stuff. Learn to visually distinguish between pointer tables and pointers that are inline with asm. You don't have to know asm for that, just be able to recognize data in context, and maybe a few basic instruction values like rets so you know where functions begin and end.
Begin mapping out ram just like you mapped out the rom, cannibalize Gameshark codes to do it or just use a cheat searcher and start writing down where health, runtime stats, and all that jazz are kept.
Look up docs for whatever platform you're working with, learn how the memory space is laid out at the console level. Start using emulator features like ram dump, background/sprite displays.
Start asm hacking in earnest, you already know where hardcoded stuff is in rom, you know where runtime stuff is in ram, most of the assembly you're interested in is copying rom to ram or manipulating stuff that's already in ram. Use your emulator's debugger, look at ram state before and after certain code is called to figure out what the code does. Look up the opcodes you don't know from the code you're looking at.

Congrats, you are now pro hax0r.
