| I doubt you'll be able to use IPS patches. They can't patch anything beyond 16MB, and his program expands the ROM to 24MB. I'm not sure if the editor edits the data in the ROM as-is, or expands it first. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My findings so far Some early attempts at rendering Mario Raceway:  - still needs a little work. 
 - The least amount of objects you can render to have the entire track.
- An almost-complete render. The only thing missing here is the audience stand, which I fixed later.
 - Now you know where my avatar comes from.
Plus some other tracks:  - Block Fort. We don't need no steenkeeng textures.
 - DK's Jungle Parkway. It actually has the water coloured pink and the track gray.  These colours are more of a texture tint than anything, which is why most polygons are nearly white.
 - Rainbow Road, in wireframe mode. I'd have expected them to use the polygon colours, not a texture, to do the rainbow effect, but apparently not.
 - Yoshi Valley. I don't think this is a complete render...
 - Oh yeah, and I found out how to rearrange the tracks too.
OK, so now let's do some quick Q&A: Q: Can I have the source code to that rendering program? A: Trust me, you don't want it.  It's hacked together from one of the first 3D programs I ever made. The code is so patched up, hacky and outdated I'm not even sure how half of it works anymore. It's a huge mess and practically a miracle it even runs.
Q: Do you intend to write an editor? A: Yes (and it'll be open-source  ), but it's going to take a LONG time.
Q: Is there anything I can do to speed up the process? A: I listed some things in the document. Or you could send me money. 
Q: What the hex are RSP commands? A: RSP is the N64's graphic processor, so RSP commands are instructions for the RSP. Q: Can I edit the music? A: If you find out how yourself, sure. I haven't looked into it, in fact I generally have the sound off when I'm hacking. 
Q: Where can I get the ROM? A: Not here. Tasks that need to be done: 1) Write a level viewer. I have a working one already, it just sucks. Rewriting it shouldn't take too long. 2) Rewrite the MIO0 compressor. Almost done, just has some bugs in the compression. I'll release the new version (with source) when I either fix these bugs or give up on fixing them. 3) There is no three. 4) Figure out textures, sprites, and all that other stuff I mentioned. 5) Turn the level viewer into a level editor. |

FYI, flashing the original DS is a piece of cake. If you find the right size screw it literally threads right into the hole, so all you need to do is hold the battery in and tighten it until it starts flashing. People have been having trouble with Lite, but apparently a coathanger wrapped in electrical tape with just the very end exposed does the job. |

I imagine Yoshi's Story is fairly easy but I haven't checked it out.

Originally posted by Darkdata I'm not sure what you mean about trouble. They all render fine except that DK's Jungle Parkway has some garbage polygons (curiously, right around the area where you can "fall into a black hole"). The Yoshi Valley render I showed there doesn't have all the objects drawn, that was just a mistake on my part. None of them have textures yet, but Block Fort looks almost the same without them, and the Rainbow Road render is in wireframe mode (just the polygon outlines). Originally posted by spel werdz rite That's actually used a lot.

The N64 has 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit elements. It's a bit confusing. |

One thing I find is that when you make something, you tend to think it's really good just because you made it, even if it actually sucks. Ideally, look at it again in a week or two and see if you still think it's great. There's a lot of things I would never have released if I'd done that. |

What format? |
[edit] As for SDL, I'd like to keep using it, but that may be difficult.  (edited by HyperMackerel on 06-21-06 10:26 PM)

Get the DS. You don't need that $150 battery killer to do all those fun things like play music, movies and old games on it. The Max Media Launcher ($20), any CF or SD adapter ($20-80) and a CF or SD memory card ($20+) will do the same thing.
|
To be more specific: Max Media Launcher is like a DS-slot mod chip. It loads up like a real DS card and then runs whatever program is on the GBA cart. Since it works like a real card it doesn't require fiddling with SRAM or sticking a real DS game onto the device, doesn't stick out, and is compatible with all units. There are similarly-priced clones as well. Popular CF and SD adapters include GBA Media Player, Supercard and M3. GBAMP is the cheapest option; it's only designed to work in GBA mode, but a firmware hack lets you use it in DS mode too. There is no such hack for the SD version though. Commercial ROMs can't be run from it, only multiboot programs (up to 256K for GBA and 4MB for DS). Supercard includes 32MB of RAM on the cartridge, which can emulate a GBA flash cart, so it does everything GBAMP does, plus play GBA ROMs. From what I hear it's not very compatible though. DS ROMs can be played from it with some patching. M3 is the most expensive; it's similar to Supercard, but more compatible. Then you need a CF or SD card, which you can find anywhere that sells cameras. Look for a program called Moonshell; it plays movies and music, and views images and text files. DSOrganize is also something to check out; a great PDA app. Both are completely free. (restricted) |

If you have to put a DS card into it and put it in slot 1, it's a PassMe. If it just slides into slot 1 on its own, it's a NoPass. Or it could be some bizarre new device. |

Originally posted by Kushan* I don't know of any, but there could be. And of course I'll post a link when it's done. Just don't expect that to be any time soon... making a good editor takes months, I know very little about 3D, and there's a few other projects I've been meaning to work on. I've been hacking this game for a week straight; I might have to take a break for a few days.
Originally posted by The Ultimate koopa That usually means something else is using it. Check the task manager and make sure neither the patching program nor macet is running. BTW, good news, I got SDL working with both monitors enabled.

Did you try Motherboard Monitor and see if it starts heating up when you run Videora? |
