A ROM bank is 37,268 bytes of ROM. 0x000200 - 0x0081FF is bank 0, 0x008200 - 0x0101FF is bank 1, and so on. (The first 0x200 bytes are the ROM header, which isn't actually used by the game, so bank 0 is really from 0x000000 to 0x007FFF, and banke 1 from 0x008000 to 0x00FFFF, as far as the game is concerned. You can even just delete the first 0x200 bytes, but LM won't open the ROM if you do; just add a bunch of zeros back at the beginning if you need it back.)

To 'patch' a .bin file into the ROM, generally you just open the ROM and the file in a hex editor, and copy everything from the file into an unused part of the ROM. (Unused areas will be filled with 00, but beware that not all areas filled with 00 are unused! Anything after 0x80200 should be fine, but put a RATS tag in so it doesn't get deleted.) Though if it's a custom block, you need to use the block inserter program instead.

Heh, that looks like a lake above a nuclear plant or something. If you can get it working relatively simple, at least to the point where people who do know how HDMA works can use it, it'd be nice to see a release.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Speaking of names, having the level name or at least number in the titlebar would be pretty useful, especially when you want to add a secondary entrance and can't remember which level you're in.

[edit] Saving each level to a file whenever it's saved to the ROM would also be a nice idea. Auto-backup of sorts.

You don't need to reprogram the game to have these 'metapanels'. You select from a set of 32x32 panels, each made up of several 8x8 panels. You place it on the track, and the editor automatically places the appropriate 8x8 panels. Suppose you had a big panel made of panels 00 - 0F; when you placed it on the course the editor would just place panels 00, 01, 02 and 03, then below that panels 04, 05 and so forth.

*copies from Lunar Compress docs*

The format of a RAT tag is as follows:

S T A R ssssssss SSSSSSSS cccccccc CCCCCCCC (8 bytes)

"STAR" Tag identifier, which is the word "RATS" reversed in
all-caps.
SSSSSSSS ssssssss Size-1 of data, 16 bit, little endian. It does not
include the size of the RAT tag itself.
CCCCCCCC cccccccc Inverse of size-1, 16 bit, little endian.

Min/Max size allowed: 1-0x10000


When LC is searching for free space, it still checks for consecutive zeros
but also checks for RATs. When LC comes across the tag identifier, it
first ensures that the size and inverse fields will give 0xFFFF when ORed.
If they don't, the tag is considered invalid and is ignored. If they do,
LC automatically jumps over the area protected by the tag and continues
scanning.

I hate those dreams like when your falling down on the grass or something and all of a sudden you wake up all startled. I remember once I was falling from a building and I woke up

That happened to me once, felt like I fell right into bed. Though usually when I have falling dreams, I wake up right at the edge of the bed about to fall off, just in time to roll back.

It needn't be in a loop, necessarily. That's just where you start. Basically anywhere you'd put a printf, put an assert instead, so you don't get a lot of useless output telling you everything is still alright.

Yeah, the only real reason to get any game system instead of just buying PC games is to play the games that don't have PC versions. You gotta admit, the features are nice, even if it's practically the same as a PC. Now, if every good game that comes out for a given system also comes out on PC, then you might want to re-think your purchase.

But of course, keep in mind that upgrading a PC every 2 months to play the latest games can get expensive, while a game console usually lasts a good 5 years or so. PC games are designed to be as realistic as possible, to the point where the PC is designed for the game, while console games are designed to work within the console's specifications (and maybe an add-on or two) until said specs are considered crappy compared to competition or games have to be significantly stripped down.

I'm willing to bet that if Sony and Nintendo weren't losing money on GC / PS2, then they were just barely above breaking even.

Probably, but the loss, if any, wasn't as significant as Microsoft's. Particularly in Nintendo's case since they make all their own parts; Sony I don't know so much about.
