Bitshifting on signed integers by itself is inherently unsafe since a generic "int" or "long" might be a certain bitlength on one platform and a different bitlength on another. The safest way to do bitshifting is on numeric types is to use specific types such as the uint32 type available in C# and a few other languages.

Unsigned, with a fixed definate bitlength.

Agreed. Compatibility with non-windows systems has a long way to go. On the up side, mono is making some clear progress, I have high hopes for mono because I really like C# and I really hate using windows as a server platform.

Thumps up to microsoft for submitting .net and C# for standardization. One of the few smart things they've ever done.

Without knowing more details about the bug, I'm going to venture a guess that the image overflows some buffer in the image processing software such that after the image has been processed, the image data has overflowed from the data area into the execution area, the execution pointer is then executing the piggybacked machine code from memory rather then the program code that is supposed to be there.

What kind of crappy cable ISP do you people have? I have had 3 seperate cable internet providers and I have never -EVER- had something as rediculous as a monthly cap.

N-O.

To this day I have no idea where that stupid rediculous myth came from. That 24-hour rule is a big giant pile of grade-A BULLSHIT.

If you don't own the game, you can't legally have the rom. Period. Not for 24 hours, not for 24 seconds. Not at all.

Bibles tend to have so many indexes and tables and other such crap that you could probably manage to remove enough pages to asswipe yourself without actually tearing out any scripture.

Just a thought....

On a half-related note, I had the server type changed to a slightly better system.

We now have:
20 GB Disk Space
4 IP Addresses
512 MB Deticated RAM
1024 MB Maximum RAM Burst
10mbps Bandwidth

QFT

But we can make a new tile-editor thread in general rom hacking.

As for the original topic, it might actually be interesting to try and find a way to ASM hack a Yoshi-only game.

The way I would do it is to first edit all of Mario's tiles to make him invisible, and then work on finding a way to make it so that he's always riding Yoshi.
After that, a few other things would need to be tweaked. The hurt routine, for one. It would have to cause damage without making Yoshi run away.
Powerups could be modified to change Yoshi's color..

I might give it a stab sometime.

That would probably sound more convincing if I wasn't so lazy..
I really like where you're going with that train of thought. I definately think that sounds like the best way to go about doing it. (Definately the simplest.)

Rather then turn the enemy into an ice cube, why don't you change his palette to blue, make him fall to the ground if he isnt already, and halt his animation.

On an airplane, start drawing pictures of planes going up in flames and crashing and people dying, bombs, etc. Wait for someone else to freak out or start crying. That dude has pictochat open.

The database has been utf8 since I converted it nearly a year ago. It's just an issue of adding the meta tags.

That basement would have to go pretty deep. There's actually 4 staff-only forums.
