How hard is it for Joe Programmer to find places where user input isn't verified properly and fix them? And why can't people who do know where they are tell him?

While playing. Then look in the directory that the ROM is in. You'll find a file with the same name, but ending in .zs? (where ? is 't' or a number); that's the save state.

Also, are you sure it says, "0-1"? I don't remember there being a 0 for text in SMB. You sure it isn't O-1?

There's a zero. Otherwise, it'd be difficult to have them in the timer, coins, lives, or score.

Not finding holes doesn't mean you can't. It generally means you aren't looking. Also, it's a fair bit easier with code access.

Not only does that not work (some input can still get through), it'll stop things like Start+Select. Unless you wanted that...

Sure, but your favourite non-Sony media player isn't going to decrypt the music.

Now it all makes sense...

(00:42:14) HyperHacker: so... just want to be sure
(00:42:20) HyperHacker: was it really you who gave Xk code access?
(00:42:42) ||bass: i was planning on giving it to the first person who asked
(00:42:48) HyperHacker: ah
(00:42:59) HyperHacker: for the record, if I'd known, I'd have asked
(00:43:21) ||bass: nobody was supposed to know, that was the point
(00:43:41) HyperHacker: ah
(00:43:48) ||bass: i wanted SOMEONE to have access
(00:44:00) HyperHacker: now it all makes sense
(00:44:03) ||bass: and this was the soloution i thought of that was guarinteed to piss off the greatest amount of people
(00:44:19) HyperHacker: I'm guessing you'd prefer I not post this?
(00:44:46) ||bass: meh
(00:44:48) ||bass: up to you
(00:44:54) HyperHacker: k
(00:45:08) ||bass: i stopped giving a shit like 2 months ago
(00:45:14) HyperHacker: I noticed
(00:45:30) HyperHacker: would you resume caring if the board did get wiped like you expected?
(00:45:51) ||bass: i would have if it had happened like 6 weeks ago
(00:46:01) ||bass: but at this point, not really
(00:46:26) HyperHacker: damn
(00:46:37) HyperHacker: so Xk basically owns the board now?
(00:46:42) ||bass: i dont have enough time to even POST
(00:46:51) ||bass: well, not really
(00:46:54) HyperHacker: wait
(00:47:04) ||bass: i still run the server, own the domain, etc
(00:47:05) HyperHacker: so you care, you just have more important things to do?
(00:47:33) ||bass: now that xkeeper has file access
(00:47:41) ||bass: maybe i can sell the domain acmlm.org to legion
(00:47:48) ||bass: just to see what would happen
(00:47:50) HyperHacker: heh
(00:48:03) HyperHacker: that'd be interesting... suck to see the board go like that though
(00:48:11) ||bass: it would be funny as hell
(00:48:36) ||bass: i could just imagine WW III break out on the board
(00:48:55) ||bass: because legion and xkeeper would have to work together or nothing would work
(00:48:57) HyperHacker: I should have learned SQL earlier... I could have made my own, more secure Acmlm-like board by now, and offered it to Acmlm, just to add to the confusion
(00:49:14) ||bass: ||bass: because legion and xkeeper would have to work together or nothing would work
(00:49:19) ||bass: in other words nothing would work....
(00:49:39) HyperHacker: yeah
(00:49:44) ||bass: pass the thought along to legion though
(00:49:51) ||bass: it might be fun to try
(00:49:53) HyperHacker: eh
(00:49:59) HyperHacker: I'd rather not talk to him
(00:50:19) ||bass: on the other hand
(00:50:32) ||bass: someone will have to take up the job of resident boardwrecker
(00:50:36) HyperHacker: heh
(00:50:50) ||bass: anyway
(00:50:56) ||bass: the point of doing it this way
(00:51:05) ||bass: is to upset as many people as possible
(00:51:18) ||bass: knowing that if they had just asked, they would have gotten it
(00:51:30) ||bass: mostly cause i wanna see what happens
(00:51:48) ||bass: i mean, until acmlm gives actual direction to the board
(00:51:59) HyperHacker: and if he doesn't?
(00:52:00) ||bass: i might as well do random shit
(00:52:22) ||bass: considering how it wont make any difference
(00:52:27) HyperHacker: yeah
(00:52:45) HyperHacker: I noticed there's active development being done on board2 on Acmlm's local server
(00:52:56) ||bass: oh who the fuck cares
(00:52:57) HyperHacker: the other day, you could post in threads/forums that didn't exist... now you can't
(00:53:09) HyperHacker: just wondering if you knew if he did that or not
(00:53:19) ||bass: does it matter?
(00:53:24) HyperHacker: well, yes
(00:53:33) ||bass: putzing around with some code doesnt really change anything
(00:53:35) HyperHacker: if he's actively working on board2, that could be a sign of hope
(00:53:47) HyperHacker: that he intends to come back and straighten things out once it's done
(00:54:23) ||bass: we'll see
(00:54:39) ||bass: i have my doubts
(00:54:43) HyperHacker: me too
(00:54:48) HyperHacker: but you never know

Xk wasn't given access because he could fix things or because he was trusted. He was given access because he doesn't deserve it. I talked to ||bass about this before as well, a while ago. This is a wake-up call. Apparently it's not working as well as expected, so I'll try my hand at it myself:

HEY! ACMLM! WAKE UP AND FIX YOUR BOARD!

Oh and to clarify before anyone comments on the log:
  • Yes, the names were replaced with our board names, for the sake of those who aren't familliar with our AIM names. (Coloured too. ) No other editing was done.
  • Yes, I do plan to write my own forum software in the near future. Not because of this board; simply because I want to. I actually started planning it back when ||bass still cared, Xk was still banned, and all was mostly well. I simply haven't taken the time to do it, because other projects and school are higher priorities right now.
  • The chat didn't actually end there, it simply went off-topic. I'll post the rest if anyone cares about our comparisons between versions of Visual Studio and discussions of Acmlm's coding style.
  • Yes, I said "now it all makes sense" in both the post and the chat rather than coming up with a different way of stating the same thing. If you care, you have a problem.
  • Regarding this:
    (00:45:30) HyperHacker: would you resume caring if the board did get wiped like you expected?
    In a much earlier chat, he said he had intended to simply not fix anything and let the board get wiped (when Xk threatened to do so), in hopes that this would prompt Acmlm to decide once and for all whether he really cares (hence 'like you expected'). For once, I almost wish the board had been wiped. (Of course, I backed up useful ROM hacking data threads. )


'Night all. If Xk hasn't banned me or totally fucked over the board by the next time I come online, then I'll see you then. Otherwise, I'll see you when Acmlm comes to his senses and fixes everything/puts another trustworthy person in charge, or when a new board is created to replace this one, whichever happens. This has been, until now, a great community and I look forward to seeing most of you again in the future, be it tomorrow or 20 years from now.

Finally, might I say I'm honored to have the first thread ever to be stickied in the Trash Can. But I wasn't about to type out this big long reply and then just not post it because Xk's goons closed the thread.
