| They look different for all of the games. I think those are from DKC3.
It always is sad to hear that someone died, even if I didn't know this guy at all. It must be the "a person made this site, but he's dead now, and he'll never update again" factor. Also, if you all would read the front page, it even says that the site will still be updated. If the site's still going to be updated, then it certainly isn't going to go down because of this. Edit:
Which means the site isn't going down. (edited by Drag on 02-04-07 01:48 PM) (edited by Drag on 02-04-07 01:49 PM) |

| They look fine to me, but it's been probably a year or two since I last played the game. So yeah, I wasn't quite sure as to what you meant when you said they looked different. | |||

| IPS Patch
(Patch this to Super Mario Bros. (JU) (PRG 0)) This is a really pointless asm hack I made yesterday. Basically, it just changes Mario's jump physics to resemble the physics in Balloon Fight. The original plan was to remove Mario, and put the Balloon Fight guy in his place, but I didn't get around to the cosmetic changes (probably would've required more asm hacks). Now, off the bat, doing an asm hack in SMB is really difficult. There is literally NO free space in the rom, so I had to be creative. I decided to write code to the wram ($6000-$7FFF range), so my extra code would just run from the ram. This was good because I definately needed to move a routine to make room for my bankswitching code. I found a routine which only had two pointers to it, so I moved that to make way for code which would switch to my bank when the game starts up, and then execute some more code in there. What the code in the bank did was just copy $1000 bytes of the bank into the ram, so basically, $8000-$8FFF was copied into $6000-$6FFF. Afterwards, I set up the banks so the graphics were normal, disabled the irq, etc, and then my code returned to the boot code, which switched $8000-$9FFF (the bank I was just in) back to the original game. So at the end of all of this, the graphics were the same, the PRG was back to normal, and there was extra code in the ram. I then went through the game's code to patch certain things to jump to my custom code (which was now in $6000-$6FFF), including the routine I had to move. And that's how I did it.  Since the game now runs on MMC3, I could do more stupid stuff like add little background animations to the scenery and the foreground and such.
There are GOING to be some bugs, probably, especially since I haven't tried this out in water levels yet (oh god, they probably got completely screwed up  )
Edit: Oh yeah, the *reason* I did this hack was because I've never done an asm hack before, and I wanted to see if I could do it. Edit 2: And the reason there aren't any screenshots is because the game looks exactly the same. (edited by Drag on 02-04-07 02:26 PM) (edited by Drag on 02-04-07 02:27 PM) |

I'm going to have to pull out my Commodor--erm Monotech Power Game Unit for this game!  When does it come out anyway? |

My experiences with the internet lead me to conclude that not all sites with a distinct name will be distinctname.com. 
Anyway, the comics aren't bad at all, but there is the occasional painfully-corny joke. 
Definately worth checking out though! |

| One of the people on our floor has a keyboard like this. I'm not sure if it's this exact one, but the LCD display is ringing bells to me. He plays WoW a lot, and he was pretty impressed when it showed him stats. I think maybe f.e.a.r. was showing some stats too, but I don't remember.
Probably the only feature that would be useful to me is the backlit keys, and only if I could turn them on and off. |

| I like remembering the actual *good* aspects of my childhood... like the things that made me feel happy and such. I always used to leave my window open when it was a nice day outside, so the smell of fresh air always works wonders. Also playing old games that I liked as a kid is nice, like when I play The Incredible Machine, or Sonic or something. Also, a really good fap session tends to be spectacular for feeling good.
But in a more general sense, I think having my own personal space makes me happy. I don't like being completely involuntarilly isolated from everyone else, but if I need some privacy (fap session ) and can voluntarilly temporarilly isolate myself from everyone every once in a while, it's great. |

| The superbowl *happening* today was a good thing, probably for the dumbest reason...
Normally on weekends, the good places in the food court (like taco bell, burger king, and the sandwich shop/bakery) are closed, leaving just the subway-ripoff, and the generic pizza place. However, because of the superbowl, they had a huge projector screen set up and were showing the superbowl on it, and a lot of people were there watching. It was a superbowl party I guess. The good thing is that some of the food places that normally would be closed today were open. I ate at burger king because I was really craving a burger, and the ones at the cafeteria are garbage. I wish we had a Wendy's.  |

| The only thing I ever saw was when a gas station, Shell, had the S burn out on the sign, making it say 'hell'.
It's not as funny as this other stuff. |

| The goggles let you see underwater. Without them, everything's blurry, and sometimes it makes your eyes hurt. | |||

| IPS Patch
Here's a little update. It fixes the underwater hole thingy that you mentioned. In the process, I decided to do some more asm stuff and now the background has simple 4-frame animation, via bankswitching. It's everything that SMB never needed!  |

| But that was actually kind of nice...
...as in, it was easy to get points without trying har har.
Should rednames still get points when they post? |

| To be honest, I'm going to stick with XP for the time being. Vista might be nice and all, but there's really nothing that makes me *want* to switch to it just yet. I mean, it's not as stable as XP (jokes aside, it really isn't) yet, and there are so many incompatibility issues too. Vista might be rock-solid once they get the kinks out of it, but until then, I'll just stick with what I have. After all... if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
That and maybe the crackers will concentrate on Vista and give XP even just 30% less attention. |
