I've been wrokiing on this hack now for over 5 months of 8 hour a day shifts. This will be a revisit and fresh new playthrough of the great classic Super metroid, I keep true to it's classic exploration theme, nothing "impossible" like every other hack. it is a bit more challenging and alot longer, once complete I;m estimating 3 hours minimum to complete..... I don't want much of my hack leaked, so I chose only 2 rooms to show off, hopefully this'll give you an idea of the kind of hack this is going to be....... I believe that a hack is boring if more than one room is truely recognizable

A quick Comparison.... here is the original landing site


And here is the NEW landing site


So, as you can see I'm not screwing around here, and just so you know what kind of hack this is gonna be, check out this pic, it's of the room just left of the new landing site, and in the lower right you will see the ORIGINAL room I edited it from....


Take care all, and I hope this gets you excited!

New Map of Morphball Run.... kinda...

Looking good.. I don't usually play hacks (although I try to stay updated with the scene) but.. I might make an exception here. This shows some mighty nice promise.

All I have to say is "holy shit".

This is really nice work Drew, please keep it up. We need more SM hacks actually "complete" out there, hopefully yours will make it.

I'm very glad to see you all like what I'm making.... Right now crateria is alot bigger, maybe even 3 times as big as before, in any case I' m now done with west and central crateria, and now have to work on the toughest part, east crateria..... after that brinstar and norfair are gonna get a few touch ups now that I know even more about SM. Anyways, I'm thankful for all the support!!

Not big enough community for that, but a sticky maybe.

Can I assume you'll be rearranging the map entirely for this hack? That would definitely lend it a fresh and exciting new angle that most other hacks lack.

"I believe that a hack is boring if more than one room is truely recognizable "

So, yeah, I believe that this means all the rooms will be tiled and the map remaped, in fact, heres a teaser screen.... of the new morph ball run..... kinda....


So maps are gonna be completely new

Man you're really going for a full rehaul here.

Just don't pressure yourself, and keep at it. This definitely looks great.

I just have a question:



By doing that (I'd say that's completely ultimatly changing a room) are you losing space for more data?

If that makes sense, I'm not too keen with Rom Hacking, so hopefully you can my question.

Space...... The final Frontier.....

No, not just a star trek quote, but without unlimited space, this hack would be impossible, and boring...... so I make sure that I have all the space in the world......

I use room A, which only has a measly little 250 bytes of space, I want to make it around 1500 to 2000 bytes.......So I take room A, create New free space for it, and move The address.....

The landing site has a potential 12000 Byte space, currently just under 9000 of that is used.

If I didn't change the room data address then yes, I would be losing free space, but no longer. =D

SMILE is pretty much the only thing that can do all of this, last I checked.

Unless he was lucky enough to get a hold of Ultima's editor. His was pretty good, his map editor was very nice and easy to use.

But yeah, I'll let Drewseph answer.

Drewseph: So you can basically expand this game beyond what we originally got, that's just too awesome. I can't wait to see more.

Chibi, SMILE is the ONLY level editor that allows you to edit pretty much EVERYTHING

Xeomega: It's a simple option in smile, SMILE allows for bank expansion, you just need to know how to juggle addresses around =)

Blue brinstar? I've thought about it..... but I never really liked it..... for the most part, no, it's too simple and repettative tile set..... theres only so many layouts one can do before it becomes repettetive.... Mayble I'll go back and change some rooms around. sure it's classic, but I want to make something new....., sorry.....
