Yeah, that's really bad. Maybe changing the ASM coding from the game. By this way, if don't know how to do it, sorry.

No, it isn't that simple, the lock changes the whole level format so LM can't read it, and I don't think FuSoYa can undo it, if he can he usually doesn't because he expects people to not be so careless as to lock a hack and delete the backup. I think there should be a default option to make a backup called .bak so you don't mess with it until you are told to.

Try this. Get an original copy of SMW and expand it. Now make a copy of the expanded unedited SMW. Now lock one of them. Now make an IPS. The original file will be the locked one, the changed file will be the unlocked. Apply that patch to your locked game. See if that works.

Sorry, but you are stuck... Unlocking a rom just isnt possible right now.

Maybe if you ask FuSoYa REALLY nicely... he'll unlock it, but your best bet is to just start over. Sorry...

I can unlock the rom, with severly messed up levels The ONLY rom I can unlock and keep the levels regular is an unedited one. So even if you ask Fu, I am almost 100% sure he wouldn't be able to unlock it. You have to start over again...sadly.

I really think that Fu should have made the lock password protected so if you know the password you can still access the rom...but that wont stop hex editing people. You could get an old copy of LM (V1.01 works) and unlock the rom, but the levels will be garbled.

Just type in Lunar Magic 1.01 in google. Its on some french site with ALOT of orange. I am pretty sure the site has ROMs so I can't provide a link sorry. The levels will look really bad, so I dont see the point of doing it anyway. Were you REALLY far into your hack? or just 3 or 4 levels? If its only a few levels with NO ASM it may be possible to unlock it with few graphical errors. That would involve a comparision hex editor tho. You can always search google for one

What?

Do you mean just do the exact oppisite of what the lock does to the hack? Like 1,2,3 to 3,2,1? If so, thats what I did (sort of) in order to unlock ROMs. The only thing is, Fu says it changes the lvl format (I think thats what he said) and I wasn't going to argue seeing as HE created it (the lock format). But if you take 2 unedited Roms, lock one and keep the other unlocked, then compare the two in a hex editor you will see only a few minor differences scattered thru out the ROM. There are really only 4 bytes (I think) that you need to cahnge to unlock the rom. But if you want correct graphics, level layouts, and interactions, there are alot more you need to change. I have all of them documented in an .xls file I can just look of og to unlock a rom.

But im not really going to get into it seeing as people may be angry at me again.

I AM certain he wont get it back to normal. I already tried it on another hack and it didnt work.

Its easier just to start over. It may be hard redoing everything again, but look at it this way, at least now you have time to improve
