I have figured out a way to unlock a hack that was locked with the Chibi Moon code. It requires editing the game (.smc) in a hex editor (is this ASM?). I would give you the story of how I did it but lets just get to the code. Btw this will unlock the game, but the graphics will be all screwed up, I have not found out how to make it look good yet. So here is the code: This picture is big

Edit: You could of corse just edit offset 000001F0 0F00 and change 01 to 00 (or the other way around I can't remember) and then change the game header to read Super MarioWorld. You also need to change a character right before the "Super". You need to change it to a y with two dots over it (hex number = FF).

The chart makes the levels look better than just doing what I said above but the above way is quicker. I am still working on getting the graphics to show up right.

I really wish people would stop looking for ways to easily unlock hacks. They're locked for a reason, you know.

(I understand that some poeple have accidentally locked their hacks and deleted all their backup copies (again: ), but as soon as someone makes an easy unlocking tool, it will be abused to no end...)

I agree that thats probably what will happen, but hopefully it wont come to that. I just wish I had kept my first hack that I made. I locked it, think that only my LM copy would open it, but I was wrong. Noob days.... Oh well. The graphics will still be messed up when you unlock the hack. The ONLY hack I have unlocked where everything showed up fine was just a test hack I looked to figure out this code.

I'd have to agree with BMF. Unlocking locked hacks defeats the purpose of them being locked in the first place. If the author chooses to lock a hack, that means their hack is their business and their business only, and they do not wish others to see the work that they worked hard to perfect. I sure wouldn't want someone to look at my hack after going through the trouble to lock it in the first place.

And then FuSoYa probably come and change how hacks are locked in LM.

Still, we better save him from that work. (he is just doing bug-fixes now he said...)

The only reason people lock their hacks is to not let people steal their graphics or levels. The only bad thing is... people will be able to rip the graphics perfectly still... or at least I could... with a certain program...

If a hack is locked, the person doesn't want you looking at their work or worse... to stop some idiot from changing a few things in the hack and claiming it their own.

And/or people will attempt to lock their roms through a different... ah who am I kidding, nobody would take the time to do that

Technically, unlocking a rom doesnt mean resoring it, which is what people are actually aiming for

Keikonium: Oh well. The graphics will still be messed up when you unlock the hack.

So will the modified levels, but I get the impression you haven't realized that yet. Restoring values at a few offsets is not going to magically convert the levels back... if anything, you'd just make SMW unable to understand them either. Reread what the others said in that thread about the level data.

Kitten Yiffer: And then FuSoYa probably come and change how hacks are locked in LM.

*shakes head* As I've said before, I have no intention of replacing the current method if a tool becomes widely available to reverse it. There are far better things for me to spend my time on than repeatedly changing the level restriction method in LM.
