I really think they shouldn't. You people are inventing problems that don't actually exist, as most of the bad behaviour was limited to the game specific hacking forums. Also, there's 6 moderators on the forum, there shouldn't be a problem getting rid of posts that are potentially stupid.

Actually, it is believable. ZSNES didn't always have PNG snapshot support, you know. He could have been running an ancient version of it.

You may already place goombas with a hex editor. Read the whole thread, it's al there.The editor will come soon.

Vl-tone has been saying that for two months now

I once talked about this on some IRC channels, and they told about the editor being fake and non-existant, especially since it takes very long to develop, compared with the Zelda 64 Map Editor (5 days for the core). Somehow, I think they have a point, but am not really right, since VL-Tone has released some other useful apps and so must have this editor.
But I guess if the editor isn't out by the end of September, someone else make a new one.

I wouldn't trust what some random person says on IRC. To me, there's conclusive evidence that the editor isn't fake (look at all the data VL-Tone posted for instance), and if I were VL-Tone I wouldn't be too impressed with people saying that his hard work isn't real.

You can't compare how long it took to write a Zelda 64 map editor to a SM64 editor. They are different projects undertaken by different people.

VL-Tone doesn't owe any of you anything (unless you lot are actually paying him for the editor, which I strongly doubt).

Where? I see two "noobish" threads, both of which are closed. You will always get the odd thread or post which asks "noobish" questions. The approval system can't get rid of that.

If that doesn't qualify as a n00b thread, I don't know what does. Made by someone who is apparently learning ASM according to his approval thread. The approval system is not perfect.

This says it all. Really. Approval would be an improvement at the very least. I believe the only reason it is not read-only is because some respected members did not wish to have to be approved in order to post there, so the plan was revoked at the last minute. I'm not completely certain it is for the best, but in my opinion, the approval system would work in ROM hacking too.


Yes, that post does say it all. It was closed.

The question you've gotta ask is, is the system beneficial for people who actually release stuff? No. It's not. Do you think that Metroid Redesign thread would have got to 800+ replies? What about people who come to post one simple question or some feedback about a hack? They don't post. Or they attempt to get approval, with a thread like "Can I have approval to leave some feedback about a hack?". Somehow I don't see a person getting approval with that.

And let's be blunt, the primary reason that people realise their hack on a messageboard is to have other people play the hack, and get feedback. This system removes that ability for casual posters. With very little feedback, people can become despondent.

But hey, who cares? It's much more fun to have an "elite" club of hackers, and get shot of people who might not know things about hacking yet, and who dare to inquire about such things.

If I was thinking rationally I would tell you to shut the fuck up, because I (and several others) have said that anyone who shows at least SOME initiative to learn how to do ROM hacking or has some genuinely good questions (e.g. things that aren't answered in stickies or the help file(s)) would get approved anyway.

The goal of the system is to keep out people who have no initiative, or want to do no work for themselves. n00bs are bad, newbies are fine. There is a large difference.1

I've been considering a lot of changes, and your (and everyone who keeps saying DONUT MAKE THE ROHZMAKING 4UMS APPROEV ONELY) inability to grasp this insanely simple concept is making me want to just disregard your opinions unitl you can understand mine without butchering it, even after 47 corrections.

I'm sick and tired of all of you whining dipshits constantly shooting an idea down because of your inability to understand the motive and execution of this solution. Until you actually come up with something better (and before you get a spiked club shoved up your ass for suggesting "have the mods do their job", most of them are sick and tired of how much utter crap gets posted in there daily), kindly shut the fuck up.


1 n00b is a derogatory name for an idiot, newbie is someone who is actually new

Just because I don't agree with your execution, doesn't mean I don't understand your motives.

But go ahead, do whatever it is you want. (not like you weren't going to anyways) I'm tired of pissing against the wind of stupidity that seems to inhabit this forum.

Oh yeah, one last thing, I think you need to learn how to speak to someone with a different opinion than yourself. Calling people "dipshits", and telling them to "shut the fuck up" shows a complete lack of respect for people with differing opinions.

It doesn't. Maybe your popup blocker (if you have one, that is), is interfering with the download. It uses some weird popup thing to start the download.

That's why this hack is called, what it is called. If you play this hack, be prepared for level crashing, oversized goombas, chainchomps, Chestchomps/Icechomps, and everybody calling you luigi.

Apply patch to extended rom, and use an emulator with checksum fixing support (such as 1964).

Have fun, but beware!

How do you apply a patch to an extended rom?


The fact you cite that as an example of stupidity shows up how stupid you are.

Klive isn't a bad emulator, and yes there are a lot of shit games on the Spectrum. There are also a lot of good games though.

Posted on 10-31-06 06:31 PM, in Canvas->Pixels[x][y] annoyance (C++) Link
I'm gonna assume you're using C++ Builder, as those sound like VCL classes to me. There should be a Scanline property in TCanvas, which is used for faster access.

Also, you could maybe try looking into the Graphics32 library, as it allows easy access via Pixels[x,y] and is reasonably fast.

Posted on 11-03-06 03:44 PM, in Continuing a debate from Pokémon Hacking Link
Having read this thread, it's easy to tell why Tauwasser is a wee bit upset. You've basically come along and said he's made all his scripting stuff up. Or in other words, he's a big fat liar. Which actually isn't the case.

If you actually took the time to follow his mini-tutorial, right in this very thread, you'd actually see that his findings (and document) check out. You shouldn't be so stubborn, and accept the fact that you don't know everything. (no one does, by the way)

Even though this thread is one of the most interesting threads I've seen on this messageboard in a long time, I don't even know why it exists. It could have been done in private messages, and it is not a 'world affair' or even a 'debate'. It's more like an argument, where one side is attempting to character assassinate the other.

Don't go with old style Visual Basic for game development. Sure, it's possible, but I definitely wouldn't say it's the easiest to learn. Plus, do you really want to learn a programming language that's obsolete? (Not to mention that it's utter crap)

Go off and get some of the Visual Studio express tools. They are free, and quite good. (Way better than any of the Visual Studio 6 IDEs) Why you would want to pay for Visual Studio 6, I don't know, as it's at least 3 versions out of date.

C++ does not fit criteria A. It must be easy to learn.

I find it more shocking that more people have posted about the image format the guy used in his initial post (which he has subsequently edited), than his actual application.

Oh wait, I don't find it shocking at all. I just remembered what messageboard I was posting on.

C# + XNA. With C# the syntax is very similar to Java, plus with XNA you actually have a decent, easy to use library for developing games - something that Java doesn't have.
