| Shyguy, you are obviously a nice person, but that doesn't mean you don't get on people's nerves. I'll be honest and say you mildly irritated me in #rom-hacking when you were there.
I don't remember if you were off topic or acting lazy or just ignorant, it didn't really matter. When you're in a community and you're the newbie you gotta figure out how to fit in. You think we all haven't done it? You know how I fit in? I kept my mouth shut for a long time and only when I actually had something worth saying, I said it. I've been in irc channels where people wouldn't give me the time of day and you know what I did? I left. I didn't need shit like that. (e.g. #metroid on irc.metroid2002.com) You want to have your own irc channel? Register it, it's easy and free, and invite people you do like(/invite blah blah). It's either that or learn how people react to you, and develop a sense of when to keep your mouth shut. Like I'm actually speaking, and they can't help but read my fucking text. Having to /ignore somebody just b/c they can't figure out how to carry themselves in a chatroom is hella annoying. Seriously, chill out and find other people to talk to. In real life i'll meet people and they turn out to be pricks sometimes. Not everybody is meant to be friends with or like everyone else. You shouldn't just meet people and instantly expect them to like you. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 11-29-05 10:49 PM) |

| Yeesh... really don't know what to do about that. Probably better off asking in the hardware / software forum. B/c if it [windows] did it to one program, it might have done it to others. | |||

| You're better off going to a Best Buy. Small shops dick you over in oh so many ways with 'restocking fees' if you end up returning the shit. What bullshit.
Honestly, go to Best Buy, buy a replacement Power Supply to see if that's an issue (which it probably is). I was experiencing problems like yours up until a month ago. Then I got a new case with a working speaker and could begin diagnosing things. That it isn't beeping at all is a very bad sign. My guess is either a bad mobo or a bad PSU at this point. Hopefully it won't be the proc. |

| That would definitely depend on what you plan to put into the demo.What you should probably do is make sure to use a fresh rom, and copy only the data you want the player to see from your modified rom to the demo rom. Then test the demo rom to make sure everything still works properly, there are no glaring bugs, etc., and make an ips patch for the demo rom.
As for what it includes, it could include a read me of how much of the actual game your demo represents. But as what goes into the demo, that is up to you. |

| Am I going to back up my claims with evidence? No.
Really makes you sound credible. If you really cared than the info from both sites would be merged, but you're making it a battle and the losers are everyone who signs up to your information repositories. Though I agree with you in principle, competition is a good thing in my eyes and provides motivation to be better. Rom Hacking gives you access to often complex data, and one site may communicate it better than the other. Or maybe provides different ways that appeal to different types of people. Plus, both wiki sites are still in a formative stage so it'll be interesting to see how each one evolves. |

| Super Metroid has the mini crocomire, plus the reflector (a beam mirror) and and exploding sprite that gets bigger every time you shoot it, then it shoots you! Surprisingly they are fully functional as well.
Legend of Zelda LTTP has the cannon soldier, which is also fully functional, but just sucks. You can add one through Hyrule Magic. Metroid Zero Mission has a beta Crocomire. I don't think there was code put in for him, but don't quote me on that. I think some hackers either discovered code for him, or made code for him. |

| @insectduel: You know, most managers will respect you more if you stand up for yourself and try to show that you are doing a good job by improving or pointing out stuff you do well. You're 20 years old (says your profile), you can take a stand if you want. If he makes fun of you, make fun of him back. What's he gonna do? Now I'm not saying get him pissed off, but at least take a stand. If that doesn't work then he's just a bonafide asshole. | |||

| I really don't have a negative or positive attitude towards it. But if you asked me today if I wanted to suck on a woman's nipple for milk, I'd say no. So that will be my response in your limited pool of answers:
Negative attitude; I'm male. However, if I had just had a kid with my [future] wife and she wanted me to suck on her nipples or whatever I don't think I'd tell her no, if it would make her feel better. edit: Am I the only one who thought this was going to be about having a sexual fetish for aliens? I don't get why it's not called lactophilia but oh well. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 12-03-05 04:17 PM) |

| I use XVI32 for nearly everything. The in-emulator hex editor on Geiger's Debugger I use also but I dislike it heavily. (No goto feature, steps are in terms of hex digits rather than bytes.)
XVI32 I like b/c it looks clean. It doesn't have special features for rom hacking like tbl editing, so be warned. But it does allow you to search using wildcard bytes. You can step through using the arrow keys in terms of bytes rather than digits. This makes finding a branch location much easier if you're into ASM. It also has a jump X number of bytes (either in decimal or hex) feature, also very useful for branches or indexed tables. note: You can jump backwards or forwards by that set amount, and you can also easily use the find function backwards and forwards. Both jump and find are setup pretty conveniently using the F3 and F5 keys. you can bring up a small window that will interpret a piece of data as an 4 byte number, a 2 bit unsigned number, 2 byte signed, 1 byte unsigned, 1 byte signed, etc. You can keep that open as you step through the file using the arrow keys. If you do asm, it also has a count feature which is useful for finding out how many references there are to a certain function or variable, or even type of variable since you can use wild cards. And of course is has a goto X address ability, in either decimal or hex. You can take a selected byte and toggle the bits using checkboxes. You can take an SNES rom and bump it up to the next size by using "insert string", which will allow you to go to the end of the file and insert $80000 bytes of $00. That would bump it up by 4 megabits. Also you could use that to add a $200 byte header (snes). And if you need to eliminate the header, all you'd have to do is go to address $1FF and use "delete to cursor" and it will truncate the first $200 bytes. It also has a "delete from cursor" which will annihilate all data from your starting point to the end of the file. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 12-03-05 04:31 PM) |

| I just might have to give XVI32 a shot...
The only things I could really use out of XVI32 that it doesn't have is a file compare function, and the ability to color code certain sections of a file (code versus data basically) |

| ohio goes eye moss! Now that's a bastardized spelling of "good morning" in Japanese (nihongo).
I only remember it that way b/c i saw a picture on 4chan /b/ a while ago of a picture of the state of Ohio going to an eye with moss on it or something. Like some sort of mnemonic picture to help you remember how to say it. Romanji: ohaio gozaimasu. anyways welcome to acmlm no boado (Acmlm's board) |

| Not at all. I think coding in hex is better at first. Then move on to assembler once you get a feel for how it should lay out. Starting off in assembler is no better than driving a car without knowing what's under the hood. Now... if you continue using assembler after you know what's what I'd say you should probably try an assembler. They don't bite.
The other assemblers I've heard of are 65816Tricks (aka TricksASM). Jathys uses it. I use Xkas. WLA DX seems to be d4s's favorite but I found it a bit daunting at first. I could probably use it now but I think Xkas is the one that has clicked with me most. There are others though (ASM2HEX I've heard is sort of buggy and doesn't calculate branches correctly all the time, among other weird occurrences I've heard about). I'd like to see GUI frontends for some of the better assemblers, I think it would make people less scared of using them.

| I've got one of these (GD7). It's a fun piece of hardware and great for testing out your own hacks. But if you were to buy one I'd suggest the 64 megabit model (also sold on tototek). As d4s pointed out, the 32 Megabit model obviously cannot run a 48 megabit rom.
The main downside is if you want to hack a game that requires a special add in chip, the Game Doctor will not be able to emulate it. (e.g. Starfox will not run on it at all). In that case it is better to make your own cart. |

| I had a problem trusting assemblers at first. Any of the major assemblers shouldn't be a problem for most people. But knowing hex is great, b/c if you spot a problem with the assembler you can bitch out the assembler author. I've had no problems yet .
Btw, the source code for Xkas is open if you want to look at it. http://byuu.cinnamonpirate.com/?page=utils&bg=5&browser= (edited by MathOnNapkins on 12-05-05 08:05 AM) |

| Um, I'm guessing one of the following:
1. Ritalin 2. Adderall 3. Crack/Cocaine 4. Crystal (meth) 5. Cherry Coke 6. Mellow Yellow 7. V8 Juice 8. Canola Oil |

Originally posted by T.Geiger What I meant was, if you hit an arrow key left or right, it will step you through each individual 4 bit digit of hex, instead of going to the next byte. It's not really a flaw of your editor, it's just my personal preference to be able to jump to the next byte with one keystroke. Thus, XVI32 treats each byte as a cell in a table, whereas your editor treats the data more like text. Cygnus is similar in that regard, and I only used that for a while b/c of its file compare features. Another advantage of the way XVI32 has it configured is that you won't accidentally alter a byte unless you enter both digits. So if you hit a stray 'F' key you can just use the arrow keys to get away from that byte and no harm is done. It's only when you enter the second digit that the input registers as permanent.
