I finally release my first completed hack. It's a "second quest" (like in zelda) like hack of Super Metroid. The map is all the same, but the items have been re-arranged to make the route different and harder.
Wall jump and bomb jump are modified to fit the game better. They are also neccesary to finish the game. So is mock ball.
I also tweaked the spring ball with a feature I call "Rocket Ball". When in a spring jump, press up+jump to fire off. It's a little tricky at first. So go get spring ball and find out...

The hack also features:

Sequence breaks
Door warps
Special beams

I also re-arranged the songs to give the game a new atmosphere. For example, I switched the Norfair songs because I think the upper norfair song sounds more "hot" than the lower norfair song and also to associate it with prime 1 a little bit.

I recommend to pick up energy tanks, 'cause you're gonna need them (I guess).

Some enemies are stronger and some aren't so it might be a little unbalanced about that, but I don't care the slightest.


Well, here it is if you want to try it. Use the Super Metroid (JU) [!] rom.

I tried to patch it with IPSWin, but that completely messed it up. Use Lunar IPS, that one worked, at least for me.

It would be appreciated if you could post some screenshots, particularly of the new features.

Are the "tweaked features" done with some kind of editor (I'm really not familiar with what is possible and available in the SM hacking scene...) or with good old hard assembly?

Oh, I forgot. The Power Bomb is part of a huge sequence break, so if you find it, please tell me where you found it. I don't want the sequence break to be too easy to find. Hint: The grapple beam has been replaced by power bombs. If you find them sooner, you broke a sequence.

Screenshots are now included.
Yes, I have done everything with SMILE, even the tweaks. It's no more than simple physics modifications.

Where are your screenshots? You seem to have ignored this sticky thread.

I think he did "provide a specific reason not to" ("Screenshots would look the same as the original game, so it would be boring to see.").

However, with what was said, I wonder if there really was enough interesting change to make this hack worth a look at all...

Redesign was kind of the same way though. Unseasoned Super Metroid players couldn't tell the difference between it and Redesign. If this is a "complete hack", there are bound to be some changes that can be shown by screenshots. That isn't a justifiable reason not to show screenshots.

Come on, man, I want to see!

I have taken som screens now, but I can't figure out how to put them up here.
I just registered in this forum =)

..so I uploaded them somewhere else and linked them.

And no, it's not a "complete hack", it's just completed, as in finished.
The hack is very basic in level designing, the levels is more or less untouched. It's just re-routed. Hopefully in an enjoying way.
See if you can find the sequence breaks.

instead of [ url ] [ /url ]

use [ img ] [ /img ]

around your screen shot links

without the spaces inside the brackets

The SM editor is called SMILE and is made by Jathys.

Maybe the reason no one is helping you is because your initial question was a ten month bump. Sorry, closed.
