As the author of RLM, I'm never told of any bugs that people encounter with it. (The main complaint, actually, is that users can't figure out how to run it. LULZ!)
However, I have heard that hacks making use of HDMA cannot be properly unlocked by RLM. Apart from this random claim (made about two years ago, as I recall) I have no evidence that this is actually a problem. My question for you all, has anyone ever seen a case of an unprotected hack which cannot be opened properly in Lunar Magic, or run properly in an emulator? And more importantly, can anyone provide an example hack where this actually happens? I'll be glad to investigate and fix any bugs. What I won't do is write a freakin' GUI for the program, because it would just be a window with a single button that says, "Unlock" ... most pointless GUI ever! Though I could change the semantics on the command line arguments to allow accepting only an input file name; in the case that an explicit output file name is not given, a new file name will be implicitly chosen. At the least, that will enable users to drag their locked ROM onto rlm.exe within their file manager, and it will "Just Work". Thoughts? |

I haven't seen any such problem hacks, mostly because I'm not active in SMW hacking, but I completely agree with the part about senseless GUIs and implicit target filenames. ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks  — byuu |

This is the post in question (which claimed HDMA was responsible). Again, I have no idea where this information originated, or what kind of evidence is available to support it. Also, it wasn't posted two years ago, like I thought. But 10 months ago.
http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?pid=101233#101233 Is anyone actively looking into these RLM bugs? I've got some "leads" in this thread, but no hard evidence, yet. EDIT: "Panic in the Mushroom Kingdom" 1 & 2 are definitely broken when unlocked. I see RLM version 1.3 on the horizon... EDIT 2: I've located the bug that causes graphic corruption, and released RLM v1.3 today: Downloads New in this release: v1.3 (12-26-09): * Fixed yet another last-known-problem with (what I believe is) "Super ExGFX". * Support for drag-n-drop (see "Using RLM"). * Readme cleanup. This fixes "Panic in the Mushroom Kingdom" 1 & 2 (and probably a lot of other hacks). With that said, are there any problems that v1.3 doesn't fix? |

Posted by Parasyte Not exactly. It would be like this: Open ROM Output file name "Successful" or "Unsuccessful: (insert problem)" And GUIs are a lot easier. ____________________ -Ninjablooper  |

Easier than what at doing what? They're certainly not easier to code! He already added the drag-and-drop feature, too, so there's no need for a GUI at all. ____________________ |
