Hey, I never said I was sure. I guess when it says key portions of the overworld map data are decompressed/loaded from the ROM only once in LM's help file, it means once per session.

Probably if you compressed it. Just use a compression that doesn't take so long to decompress. NES games only had that much RAM to work with (except those that had extra RAM on the cartridge) and they did some amazing things.

Decompressing all that information certainly would certainly take more time than simply loading the information straight from ROM. In addition, no valid compression I know could be capable of taking both the 8 x 8 and 16 x 16 layer and forcing it into that save file three times.

You made a specific statement that made no sense and following supporting statements in later posts even after your original point had been shot down. Does the lack of the word 'sure' in your post make this acceptable behavior?

Ah, I forgot about that 16x16 layer.

Care to point out these so-called nonsense statements and support? All I see is "I believe it decompresses the overworld to SRAM" and a single statement supporting this belief ("That's when the game is decompressing the overworld"). Are you referring to my last post in which I stated that even though SMW doesn't do it it may potentially be possible to do? Also, I can't seem to find where I continued to support this belief after your second-last post.

You made a post about decompressing to SRAM once that didn't make sense, then later you supported it by bringing up the kidnapping message. Then you tried to weasel out of what you said by saying you weren't sure and again bringing up something irrelevant, this time compression.

That is not cool.

Sorry, I'm still not seeing it. Let me try to guess which posts you're referring to.

Originally posted by Glyph Phoenix

You mean the one I quoted and bolded? Perhaps you need to study English some more. Generally when somebody says "I believe [whatever]" it means they're not entirely sure.

then later you supported it by bringing up the kidnapping message.

Again, never claiming this information as fact. Actually, this post and LM's help file were the entire basis of said belief. We've already established that this belief was incorrect; all you're doing now is picking at straws, desparately trying to prove invalid points.

Then you tried to weasel out of what you said by saying you weren't sure

Just as I'd stated originally; again, "I believe" != "I'm absolutely sure that".

and again bringing up something irrelevant, this time compression.

You asked if I thought it was possible to fit the overworld into 2K. I responded that it could probably be done with simple compression. How exactly is this irrelevant? Perhaps "irrelevant" is another word you should study?
