Well now... I wouldn't exactly say that, lol. This is my first ASM hack for anything other than a PC 
So, I'm learning about the PPU, joystick, etc., as I need to.
I originally had to study joystick routine's for a hack i made to add to my existing hack, back when i knew some-what considerably less about NES dev and the such. It was the B-Button Dash one, where you hold the B-Button (obviously) and can run on world maps and towns.
Hmmmm... that's an idea for this hack, lol

I don't know if they'll be different enemies, but the fights will definitely be more difficult (it could be extra enemies at night, or their HP could be increased, etc.).
And on a sidenote, I just finished "porting" my hack into the disassembled files, and I changed the mapper (so that the new music stuff will work, and I'll be able to increase the ROM size easily now if/when I need to), so I can finally get back into working on it. |

And Metroid ofcourse |

Sorry for acting like a hyper puppy when referring to that

Ehm... why would I do that? What would be the advantages of his routine over the one that's already in the ROM?
I assume you're talking about the one in this doc here?

ah, no, not exactly.
Kefka was referring to my documentation of FF1's joystick routine, made it a long while ago. it's kinda old now.
no offense to gbaguy, i'm sure he chose the code he used for simplicity, ( for the sake of whoever follows that tutorial) but that joystick routine is god awful ugly

Thx Gavin, i already knew about glow, but by library i meant a complete disassemble of most (if not all ) classic nes games. Imagine what would DD be capacle of if he had in his posession a complete working disassemble of smb3...
Several classics have been disassemnbled already (smb1, ff, castlevania)... it would be just too cool to have it all.
(Of course it would have to have a "comment/documentation project", to make all of the routines understandable - like which part of the code does what - and compiler specific tweaks to get it working right). |

Maybe we should start a complete dissassembly project? A library of complete genuine 6502 software.
check out http://6502.org for helpfull 6502 routines: includes 16,32 bit math, bubble sorting, etc.
as well as the already-been-made-since-at-least-2001 6502 NES ASM Specific Library of code called Glow: http://home.earthlink.net/~joker21/ beat ya to the punch, mate |

Well, I'd say it'd revolutionize FF hacking... but the music engine hack will definitely affect all rom hacking 
Once I'm finished porting my hack into it, it'll definitely make me a lot more productive with my hack -- it'll be a LOT easier than hand-assembling and then inserting my hacks with a 6502 manual and a hex editor... |

*ahem* Well, he gave you a lot of nice info because he abandoned his great looking hack... are you going to take any of the ASM hacks from "Mr. FF Hacker's" hack to yours?
Well, I wasn't going to say anything about that until I was done merging things (that's what I've been busy with since Sunday, lol), but... yep
Specifically:
- new music system (have to use mapper #19 for it instead of mapper #1 though)
- animated oceans (he also told me that other animations wouldn't be difficult, so I'll look into that)
- treasure chests that open, and
- day/night system
And the best thing, is the he ( ) gave me a fully disassembled ROM which can be re-assembled -- which means I don't have to use a hex editor anymore for ASM hacking (YAY!!), and because of the linker, I don't have to go out of my way to make sure things remain at the same addresses (they have to remain in the same banks though, but that's not a problem).

Looks awesome.. Have you started editing the world map and stuff yet?
No. And I don't think I really will -- this is more of an engine hack than anything to do with the plot or graphics, so I don't think I'll change those kinds of things. |

Hehe, I'm not even finished with the magic system, lol. Next on my list is to complete the changeover to an MP system (not many subroutines left to patch for that), and then to make the spells more like later FFs (Fire, Ice, and Bolt all in the same levels, for example). If I can, I'll even make Life and Life2 functional in battle, but I can't promise yet (I'll see what I can do though). |

Well, 404 helped me store the images, so here are the first 3 screenshots.
Those are the only 3 screens where my changes are visible at the moment, but I'll have more later |
