In 2007, the Voting Rights Act will be expired. The party that blacks tend to not vote for is Republicans. Can you guess weather Bush+Crew are going to renew it or let it die?

Heh, I didn't even know what SMC stood for till now... I just took it for granted that it was some random letters that translated into "Super Nintendo Entertainment System ROM"

Well the "intro" screens are just plain annoying. The modern scene doesn't want to waste 10 minutes just because the dumper thought he'd look 1337 by adding a stupid effect to the beginning.

It was more of general bugginess... none of the other pre-made themes attracted me either. Making my own theme wasn't so easy either.. I'd rather make a style for KDE than litestep

Even if the source is messy, there's more reason to release it anyway. People can improve it, and you might learn something from the improvements.

EDIT: But generally it annoys me by the lack of caring here

Posted on 01-31-06 06:01 PM, in Ok, how about clean room disassembly of Lunar Magic? Link
Hardly anyone seems to care for reimplementing the greatest SMW editor from scratch, so here's another thought: Clean-room disassembly of Lunar Magic.

What is clean room? It's how we can legally (at least in the USA) disassemble Lunar Magic and use that. In short, we have a group of people that volunteer to only disassemble Lunar Magic, and then document what it does. Then we have a group of people that volunteer to only implement into some source code (C++, whatever) a program based on the disassembly.

Advantages: Faster understanding of Super Mario World inner-workings, faster development of an editor.
Disadvantages: Possibly also becoming dependent on a bad Super Mairo World dump (extra 512 bytes at the beginning), possible endian issues.

alright a table should be set for anyone who volunteers (let's hope my HTML memories serve me well)


Disassemblers, DocumentersRe-implementers

Perhaps but it's annoying to do dd if=/dev/zero of=smw4lm.smc count=512;cat "Super Mario World (U) [!].smc" >> smw4lm.smc just to open it in Lunar Magic (which I have to run via Wine, so there's some rendering errors )

Unix shell in general. It's only temporary if you delete smw4lm.smc, and it's not just during "runtime", it's permanent.

Sure it can be done via a hex editor, but the command is faster IMO.

||bass: Windows 2000, some version back in 2003, default theme and none of the pre-made themes looked good either.

HH: It's funny how you say "Linux-style taskbar" which doesn't even make sense. Also consider buying 98lite for the Win98 computer... it works wonders.

Well what kind of header is composed of zeroed data?
So what if you're average found-on-google site has this type of ROM. It's likely bad in some other place as well. The "header" things just doesn't make any sense.

How about the fact that with source, you can use the operating system of your choice to hack SMW?

Sure Wine works well enough, but only on x86 machines. Wine isn't a CPU/PC emulator, just an ABI one. How about if you're bored during a lunch break and you want to hack SMW for fun on the nice Solaris/SPARC workstation they have at work? Whoops, FuSoYa doesn't make it so you can.

sheer portability should be enough reason to have a free open source SMW editor.

(Note that the spelling is no longer WINE, it's now Wine)

I already have... and as I said, it works well enough to get the job done, but it's far from an effective solution. Then of course there's the fact that LM is compiled for x86 so you must use Wine on an x86 machine to run LM.

No one was interested in actually helping development of an editor from scratch. And off the top of my head, I found a legal way to disassemble Lunar Magic and use that (indirectly).

And just for technical legal reasons, this requires at least two people (at least in the United States, other countries allow one man to do both the documentation and the re-implementation, but a one-man effort cannot be imported into the USA so following US' laws allows the whole world to benifit without excluding some countries)

1. You can always copy files just as they are... if you don't care about booting
2. What neo's point #1 was
3. Use ntfsclone. Unlike what neo said, I find PartitionMagic to be a horrible, buggy product that's totally not worth any amount of money.
