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

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.

;; 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.

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.

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.

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.
