I know a ton of people are probably pissed and have been impatient and rightfully so, there hasn't been any work or news on Reuben in nearly 5 months. DahrkDaiz has been hacking for many years and Reuben is to be the last big project I'll ever do for rom hacking. I love the hobby but there's so many more things I want to get into. However, I do want this to be an editor that changes the face of rom hacking forever.
With that said, Reuben is not dead. Development has halted for the real life issue of getting married. Things are finally about to be summed up this Saturday when I finally tie the knot. Obviously I'll be doing things that newly weds do, but I hope that by June I can begin working on Reuben again. It will be much harder to devote the same amount of time as I did before, but once I begin working on it again, I will continue to let people know the progress status. Once again, I apologize for such the long delay, but this is a hobby of love, I just have more love for my future wife than I do for silly programming projects. Either way, I look forward to getting back into having my nose in Visual Studio soon 8) |

Posted by DahrkDaiz You do you man, if people don't like it tough tits for them. As long as people wanna finish your old hack projects etc. & you give 'em your blessing it's all good. ____________________ My Linktree |

Congratulations on the marriage. Take as much time as you like. I'm curious, how will Reuben revolutionize editors? |

Congrats!
The delay on Reuben is quite understandable. When I got married last October the rest of my life outside the wedding and honeymoon pretty much shut down. |

Posted by DahrkDaizYou don't have to apologize for that! Congratulations on your marriage! Good to know you're still motivated to work on it, as long as it comes out, that's the essential; SMB3 came out in 1988, so it is about 22 years old, so waiting a few more months is nothing compared to that Hopefully the open-source side of it will make it even more revolutionary! (who said built-in music editor ? ) (I just realized I'm as old as SMB3!) |

Rom hacking > Relationships.
Just kidding. At least we know you're still alive. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by CKY-9KUnfortunately, I'm pretty busy creating a commercial game for iPhone (and my first ever full home made game!) I will probably post about it here once I'm ready to communicate on it to get your opinions But I'm surely not quiting ROM Hacking, especially when I dream of making a fully featured music editor for SMB3! (not sure if it will ever come out, but you know, in my early days of ROM hacking I dreamed of hacking SMB3's music, and you know what I've done a few years later...) |

Posted by DahrkDaiz Ew... Seriously though, Congrats and good luck with everything. Hell, I personally would rather see you live out a happy life with a family than finish some SMB3 editor. Take your time. If it happens, it happens. If life gets in the way, then it's probably not a bad thing at where you are in life. |

Posted by KP9000Well I can already see many issues with that, it would imply massive rework of the music engine itself (I've only worked with the format so far, not the APU registers stuff); I'm not sure there's enough space in the music engine banks for it, moreover songs would be at least 33% bigger, and that would require to rework the format too (for example, the fact that all channels are relative to the square1 one and take 1 byte,it would easily go over 0xFF for the extra channels and not be convenient at all - not sure I'm being clear here but whatever). Moreover, I really believe that it would just not have the feel of SMB3 any more it it doesn't sound the same. So I'm gonna go with "unlikely" here |

Yes, one or two channels, it doesn't matter; at this point I guess I could just write my own improved sound engine seeing the massive work that would be required. |

Well I'm not even sure to have the skills for that, and I don't have enough time anyway!
I don't even know when I'll be able to work on my music inserter again so... But if you really want it you should pursue your learning of ASM and then you'll be able to do it yourself |

Well after a while, I decided that yes Reuben will expand SMB3 hacking capabilities, but for those waiting on Reuben, I admit I got a little frustrated in January, but I realized that although in theory not as powerful as Reuben, it is still quite possible to make a quality hack with workshop/the map editor. You just need to know what's going on in workshop and the map editor, but once Reuben is released that will probably be the preferred editor over workshop hands down because of extra level/graphics flexibilities. ____________________ I'm back |
