[quote=Yoronosuku][quote=insectduel]My brother created his Luigi Patch long time ago but never requested to me yet. But he still never disable the 1P/2P Game menu yet. He also include Toad, and Peach Sprites as well.[/quote]
So your brother made a 4-player game? Or he just made it possible to select Toad and Peach? It dosn't matter, since I won't believe a word of it until I see proof. It just seems so unlikely...

[quote=Someguy]How come nobody's tried to trace the way Super Mario All Stars + World does it? Perhaps not many know that it loads an uncompressed set of graphics overtop Mario when player two is playing? Maybe it's just not as easy as I figure it would be... Awesome job with the tilemap thing though, SmartHacker.[/quote]
I also was surprised that no one else looked into doing this! Especially since you seemed to have figured it out (you said it loads uncompressed graphics over Mario?)...I think since it is still SMW that you could, except for offset-related data of course, almost copy the exact code that does it in SMAS+W into SMW just about perfect? Or maybe I'm just aiming too high..[/quote]

HabsoluteFate Posts: 23/45	Originally posted by Tweaker Hmm... Thinking about the entire concept of the edit, it should be simple. Here's how I would do it... First, I would track the routine that loads Mario's graphics into VRAM. Add a compare to the RAM byte that stores current character/game mode (1P or 2P, Mario or Luigi... etc). Then I would make a copy of that loading routine, and set up a branch table that chooses between the character art to load depending on character. Then I'd do the same at the routine that loads the seperate pallette for Luigi... Which should cover it all. I'd do the same for mappings if needed. That's putting it vaguely though. I'd like to hear the methods of the rest of you who did it, in case I'm makig bad use of the engine. Truthfully, I've never touched a SMB ROM, but I figure since this is how I did it in my Sonic hack, it should work in a relatively similar way. The way i intend to do it is pretty much what you describe there...which is the exact same way that i did the Custom Palette code i already created....I just gotta get around to it..the information SmallHacker was nice enough to provide me with should help speed things along as soon as I get a chance to work on it again

Smallhacker Posts: 328/832	That's because you didn't apply my IPS patch to the ROM.
Zachio Posts: 91/595	Originally posted by andres Yes, it´s the same , look: Data at $100070-$1001EF: -data- That´s the data, and when I go to the address $620C to $638B I find... The same data !!! Hmm... In mine, at $100070 for an entire screenfull there's just 0s. I looked at a 1MB and a 2MB one.
Smallhacker Posts: 326/832	That's Luigi's tilemap. If you actually read my instructions you would know that in order to edit Luigi's tilemap, you have to edit Mario's tilemap with SMWPTE and then move the data manually with a Hex editor. (The "copy the file" thing is done to preserve Mario's tilemap.)

Sukasa Posts: 765/2068	SH, I can work on a bit of DMA for luigi... If someone can get me a GFX file and help me get it the locations of the GFX decompression routine, and the ExGFX pointer lists, I can get Luigi to have special GFX.
HabsoluteFate Posts: 22/45	Originally posted by Smallhacker I'm afraid that it's written in a sweet, but pretty unknown language called Blitz Basic. (The compiler costs money, by the way, but I got a free (but very outdated) version of it in a PC magazine.) However, if you want me to, I can give you the code and add explainations and such stuff. If you could do that, it would be great...thank you!

HabsoluteFate Posts: 21/45	Originally posted by Smallhacker Okay. My idea was a lot easier than I thought. This patch gives Luigi his own tilemap. It's not fully tested, so backup your rom before applying the patch. Also, make sure that $100000-$1001FF in the rom is empty. If it isn't, you can't use this patch. As you might have guessed, my tilemap editor doesn't support editing Luigi's tilemap. To edit Luigi's tilemap, make a copy of the rom. Then open your hex editor and copy the data at $100070-$1001EF to $620C-$638B. Now, edit the tilemap in the editor. When you're done, copy the data at $620C-$638B to $100070-$1001EF. Then copy the data at $620C-$638B in the copy of the rom to the same location in the real hack. Hello Smallhacker, Do you mind if I derive your code and add it to the SMW Dev Environment? Would it be possible to get the source code & perhaps your notes about it? I would give you as much credit as you want for it...i've been lazy working on the SMW Dev Environment but i think this is the exact kind of thing that could make me work on it again...
Techokami Posts: 194/303	Originally posted by Hamtaro126 GREAT WORK JP!!! But a couple of things: 1: Can Anyone give me a hack for changing the NINTENDO PRESENTS logo to a intro/part of a title screen like one of ice man's hacks (SMW returns i think)? (Optional, as i might rip it later!) 2: Anyone can help make a ASM/TSA hack where I can use a gun instead of your hand? 3: Make a Hack where a throw block can not change color, (And the color must be both yellow and blue, and make it seprate hacks, please!) Now i cant find the Throw block colors and routine, as I can find other sprites easily -hamtaro126 Use the Request ASM Hack thread, please

I also don't believe that 4-player game crap.
jp Posts: 43/52	I accomplished that early in January I used a DMA transfer of a tile set saved in the ROM. I extracted the tile set from a ZST. I'm not working on my hack anymore, so I'm releasing all my notes. In this thread there is more info, I included the code used in a block to activate it http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=2847
Techokami Posts: 185/303	Originally posted by peter_ac Ont thing that SMAS+W doesn't do is load different player expansion tiles (fingertips). SMB3 does, and I'm using SMB3 player sprites. So yeah, just wanted to throw that in there. One thing that can be done is to work around this and edit the SMB3 sprites Another would be to also load a different GFX00 when as Luigi

BMF54123 Posts: 188/876	Heheh, funny, I was actually working on a way to switch Mario's tiles a couple of days ago. What are the odds? Anyway, what I did was locate the code that copies Mario's decompressed tiles from RAM to VRAM each frame, and changed it to copy uncompressed tiles from ROM instead. This may even be the same method SMAS+SMW uses, as it doesn't require a lengthy DMA transfer. Of course, there's more to swapping player sprites than that (all I've done is change some addresses), but it's a start. One HUGE benefit of having ROM-based player tiles is that it frees up nearly 24K of RAM between $7E2000-$7E7BFF...
