It probably comes to the fact that the AVI problem occured to me. Perhaps your copy of 1.40 hasn't got the bug (maybe the 1.40 on some other sites isn't the proper one).

I like Nestopia's extremely accurate emulation when it wasn't that old (I don't think it was as long developed as other emulators at the time when the last release was made)... however I don't understand why there hasn't been a release for 7 years or so - 1.40 was made in 2008, I believe, and it's open-source, so how has there been nothing in more than 5 years? (You could say the same about ZSNES though)

I do like its accuracy, but for some reason I prefer FCEUX, even though its roots are from FCE Ultra, which apparantly the source of that, was crap. But FCEU is also a good NES emulator despite being outdated now.

The Quick Bros. 2 Hack Pack release has been updated to v1.1.
Specifically, Quick Bros. 2 (2008) is now v1.1.
I had to fix the level header of the second area in 3-3 so that it could properly loop back to the first area. Unfortunately, this one little detail eluded me despite all of the otherwise thorough beta testing that I did for all of the hacks included in the collection.

It's very possible that there could still be other details that I missed, but at least this error has been taken care of.

I never even noticed any issues but sweet. Thanks for the update Quick. Think you'll hack Mario 3 again in the future?

I would like to consider it a possibility. However, unfortunately, my Windows 7 laptop died yet again, this time for good, and some of the ROM hacking programs that I prefer to use such as SMB3 Workshop and the SMB3 Map Editor don't work well on the Windows 8 laptop that I'm using again instead. So, until I find a workaround, I might not be working on another SMB3 hack for some time.
Sorry for my late reply. Thank you for your interest and support, as always.

That's too bad. Hope you find a solution. I love your unique approach to level designs and hacks.

I realize that this is another delayed reply, and I apologize for that again. However, I didn't have news regarding my SMB3 hacking situation right away.
As always, thank you again for your support, my great friend. I always greatly appreciate it. Always.

So, I ended up buying a brand new laptop about a month ago or so, and it had Windows 10 and some other installed programs on it when purchased. I decided to try running SMB3 Workshop on it, and it was able to run the program and display the entire window without stretching the controls out beyond what is actually displayed!
It turned out that all of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables were preinstalled on it, and the Windows 8 laptop didn't have any of those associated files.
Perhaps it seems like the difference should have been obvious, but I never had to deal with that directly before, so I wasn't familiar with those files making the significant difference that they did in terms of such programs as SMB3 Workshop, the SMB3 Map Editor, and FCEUXD.

So, just to establish in case anyone in the distant future potentially has the same problem of objects within the editor window not displaying within the window itself, even from trying to stretch it out (the "off" adjusted controls just stretch out as well, still out of sight), check to make sure that you have the following programs/files installed:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (yes, there are two)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64)

Not all of them are likely necessary to fix the specific issue that was occurring, considering the time that SMB3 Workshop was created, but I'm just trying to cover all possible bases.

It also seems as though there are more people hacking SMB3 as of late again, with progress for multiple projects in development shared through Romhacking.net and YouTube, which is super special awesome.

So, just to establish, I have full access to the SMB3 hacking programs that I prefer to use again, so for anything that I can try to help out with for those interested in creating an SMB3 hack, I will do my best to answer any questions that you might have, and I'll look forward to your projects!

Also, just to establish as well, in case anyone does start an SMB3 hack, but they end up abandoning it, if you would still like to release it through Romhacking.net, but it would otherwise only be considered a demo of sorts, please feel free to ask if you would like your hack added to the Quick Bros. 2 Hack Pack so that it can be officially and securely archived and available through the site in the collection (since demos and early, incomplete releases are normally not recommended for Romhacking.net submissions).

Now, I know how some people out there will misinterpret that. No, I'm not taking any credit for other people's work by suggesting that it be released with mine, nor do I want or have to. I'm just merely offering the potential consideration for anyone in the near or distant future who comes to feel that such an arrangement would befit them or be beneficial for their possible situation. The smaller SMB3 hacks included in the pack would likely not have been readily available to the public otherwise. So, it's just another option available to those who would like it.

Thank you in advance for reading, and again for everyone's continuous support over the years.
