Yep, it's done, the first level of Contra hacked using Red Falcon...
40 screens of sheer madness... I'm quite satisfied with my work so far, knowning that it's the result of my work on the editor, and that it could produce something interesting and challenging... The level is 40 screens long, 209 enemies, for an average of 5.225 enemies per screen... I threw in a few AI tweaks, many enemies are more agressive than in the original game... There will be no mercy... You start with 8 lives, and the first extra life happens at 10,000 instead of 20,000. The following extra lives are earned after 30,000 points, as usual. I just couldn't pinpoint the data to change it. I made some extensive use of the mortar, which was not used in the game, and the triple mortar is equivalent to level 3 and 5 scuba diver's weapon. Oh, and I tampered with the 30-lives code. Sorry... The difficulty level is above what you'd expect in the original game. I tried to make the level progressively difficult, however it seems like the game engine itself insists to make it harder as you go on, mostly by sending more Running Man and make them shoot bullets all the time...
It's quite fun to modify levels and configuring enemies with the editor. I'll continue working on other levels odds and ends, especially indoor level data formats... Download: Contra One-Level Demo ROM used to create patch: Contra (U) [!].nes Comments and questions are welcome! |

I just played through it, and I love it. The level is designed very well, and it kept me yearning for more. Awesome job Trax... ~_^' ____________________ My Linktree |

Wow, that's a pretty intense level. The last 10 screens or so are really hardcore! Asides a few WTF spots, it wasn't unfair and the weapons just came at the right moment.
Congratulations on this  , looking forward for more demos! |

Dude, that was a niGhtMare!  A good one, though.
Is this the first-ever hack of Contra? |

If you consider Contra 93 a real hack, then this one would be the second one in existence...
Unless there are others that I don't know of... |

There is also Super Contra 2, though that is just a later release of Contra 93 with some very slight level differences. As well, though they are hacking Contra, they're pirate games.
Say, what are the purpose of the ._.DS_store and .DS_Store? |

Those are invisible files used by Mac OS X, you can ignore them... |

A very, very, very, very good hack of Contra. I especially say this because every other hack is a sad excuse. Super Contra 2 and Contra 1993 have extreme graphical mixups that really confuse the player. How does one know where to go? Darkwing Duck 2 merely hacks Super C graphics.
Anyway, I hope a full hack follows. It's very good so far. Would Super Contra be just as hard to hack? |

You mean the "30-lives code" ? Mah, it's been some time, anyways... Here:
B A B A B A B A B A Start You'll have only 20 lives, though... I'll integrate a way to change both (code and lives) in my editor eventually, along with many other variables, including some enemy AI... |

Good luck with the rest of the game, if you can, Trax. It's been excellent so far... |

Klang! Found the data! Now on with the editor...
Indoor levels are quite interesting because they don't take up much space. Screens are reused a lot, so you can just use the same pointer over and over... |
