M3I doesn't run all too well on my and friend's machines (Win2K and XP, respectively). It won't start up at all unless I start it in a fullscreen prompt, and even then the mouse doesn't move properly and it's dog slow and unstable.
A new SMB3 editor wouldn't be a bad idea but it should be done well. SMB3 Discombobulator is okay but it lacks stuff and is way too small in size to be comfortable to use at a decent display resolution. AFAIK, it's also made in VB and it would be faster if made in C or Delphi.
For a new editor,I would suggest using SDL or another crossplatform library for the graphics display and C/C++ for the language, so the editor could be compiled to run on various platforms natively. At the very least, I would like to see the SMB3 Discombobulator sources released so someone could improve upon it. |

Mario Imporvement is great. It runs fine in DOS. Ask yourself: Do I have any fucking clue on how I am going to start this? Anyway, its just not neccessary, M3I is already great in my opinion. Conversion would serve little purpose. |

having looked that the M3I source, I will garuntee it would be easier to start from scratch than convert m3i (which uses allegro, btw) to a decent windows port. The source is just very hard to follow. |

This is a very bad beginning to a very bad idea. |

 ;; You really should learn how to do this stuff before saying you'll do it. Given that you asked that I can just about guarantee you don't know C well enough to do it. |

It'll be the same but for Windows and I might add some more features, like a palette editor , a gfx extractor/inserter, ? block contents editor, etc. |

By porting, you mean make the exactly same editor on windows or making a brand new editor running under windows? |
