Super Demo Bros. 3 v0.2.1 Direct Linked zomg
Obscure Kingdom v0.4 OMG I did it again

Here's some screenies.

Super Demo Bros. 3 v0.2.1:

This little hack is a fully functional 1 world mini hack. It fucks up completely after beating Koopa Kid, but it's pristine up until that point.

Obscure Kingdom v0.4:


This hack took a bit longer to make, and has my first ASM hack implemented in it. I called it "power chips". You get powers when you collect coins; in this version I had Mario get a tiny bit of Star Power and Flight time for each coin he collects. I had written code that allows for different powers depending on what world you're in. World 1 is complete, mostly, (Use save states before each level to be sure) so when youc omplete W1, it should glitch, but will go to the next world. That world is messed up though, so save state before you try levels. One of them is the level I used to test out the Power Chips hack. I remade some levels that were in SMB3 vanilla because with Reuben I had more flexibility with graphics and such. Added some dimension to them.

I hope you enjoy these; I doubt they'll ever get anywhere what with Reuben in limbo and all. Let me know if you have any questions. I'd like to see someone do an LP of them!

Copypasta from Kafuka - Yep, we've got a ROM Hacking section too.

No, they're unfinished. And all they've been doing is sitting on my hard drive, so I thought I'd just release them. I doubt I'd pick these up again. There are a few things wrong with these hacks but that's what you get with unfinished stuff. Use Save States!

Edit for clarification on bugs:

Keep in mind that these are both unfinished. I never bothered to fix any of this before releasing. The hard levels were meant for later parts of the game but put them all in W1 to be accessible.

Yeah, gotta use save states. A lot, I guess. There are a few bugs.

Game over takes you on a tile other than start. Use Save States or Game Genie code for extra lives.

Some pipes (such as the ones in that underground level, bordering the bottom of the level, weren't meant for you to go in. There aren't that many. This is caused by pipes that are enterable but don't have pointers.

As for garbageland: When you enter a tile that doesn't have a pointer attached to it, it just loads the last level data loaded (which is the world map) and the last enemy data used. You'll run into this. I suggest.... more save states.

Trust me, if I had intended to make a full hack out of this, I'd have fixed or worked around these bugs. Releasing these 'as is' is the best I can do.

As I said, they were unfinished. I'm not going to touch them, so I released them 'as is', as I stated in my previous post. If I was going to release something complete, it'd be better. The tools I used to make these are no longer being developed.

Use save states, like I said more than once in my last post, so you don't get stuck.

Remember, it's not a finished product. Not by a long shot. Treat it that way and you can look past the issues and see that it might be a decent hack.

It's released, so anyone can do whatever with it.

____________________

I used an editor that is unfinished. There is an entirely new level format, and no level editor can edit this ROM. Some editors might still work, but not for levels. The editor compiles the edits made in a project and applies it to a special ROM designed to receive such edits.

It's DahrkDaiz's editor Reuben. Can't remember which version I used. You'll have to spend some time with Google to find it; but it won't do you any good to edit levels with because you don't open the ROM inside it. You need the original project files, which I'm not releasing at this time.

Use FCEUX or some other fork of it. It had a mapper change, to MMC5. However, they weren't done properly because of lack of documentation of the mapper itself. The Wii emulator works fine.
