Ehhh.. i've wasted 5 whole years on trying to do stupid boss AI.

The problem with me is "not" about being able to program in NES asm.
My problem is, i have purely zero "thinking" skills or creativity or imagination. So i stall for months or years trying to do 1 boss at a time.

In this case, duplex, bolt, and necro for my game...

But man... if i had a brain like puresabe.. then i would of been light years ahead with my game already. His creativity and imagination for rock 4 MI blows me out of the universe a trillion times over.

That is not true. The lack of creativity and imagination can be easly explained.

First, you do not dare to take other ideas from others and adjust them for your own needs.
Second, stop with the mental self-deprecation. You are more able then you think!
Third, there is nothing new under the sun, so take ideas from other games or even real life!

It is no SIN nor is it a CRIME to make use from the ideas of others, except they are protected from the goverment to make sure you do not make money out of this.

Think about it! Your idea with Duplexman 1 was later taken and used by Puresabe for Cossack 1!
He did exactly those things.
Where did he got the ideas? From other games and from real life.
All what you need to do is, is to pay more attention to your games and the world you live in. Take what you need, what you think is cool.

Excellent! Thats good that you understand JSR's. Its also good that you know how to write the proper address for the JSR. The very basic things people should learn, is loading and storing, compares, branches, jsr's and jmp's.

Trying to remember off the top of my head with megaman4. The F8's are constantly stored there, so that nothing appears on the screen that isnt supposed to be there. There is very technical asm that goes on, that constantly updates that entire area.

Yeah, thanx But wathever I writes to $200-2ff is flickering. I see that it wants to write f8 to many of those places. But the place were mega man is stored is also flickering in the ram, but mega man himself doesnt flicker. I dont get why.

---

Assuming you mean that values in the $200-$2FF page are getting moved around rapidly while the game is running, this is meant to constantly change sprite drawing priority. The NES can only draw up to 8 tiles on a single scanline; all other tiles on the same line won't be drawn on the screen. Rapidly rearranging the tiles in memory will change the order in which they're drawn and produce flicker if that limit is exceeded. Flicker is generally a better solution than having the same tiles not be drawn frame after frame. This strategy isn't universal; while the Mega Man games do it, I think Bubble Bobble doesn't, so you can get some sprites fully obscured by others on the same scanline.

Another reason to do flicker is because the order of the sprite tiles determines whether a sprite appears in front of or behind another sprite. Shuffling sprite data will make sprites flicker if they're drawn on top of each other, while keeping it stationary will make tiles consistently appear in front or behind others.


Also, to add to infidelity's earlier explanation, the byte that controls the palette of a sprite tile also controls its mirroring (x and y) and it's background priority (drawn in front of or behind the background).

Edit: But I think you may be saying that the tile you added visibly flickers onscreen, while the rest do not. I'm not sure what you're doing or not doing that would be causing that.

It does. Without it, the pun with Rock'en Roll wouldn't be there in the first place.
As long Megaman/Rockman is untransformed he is Rock, not Mega.
You can blame NoA translation of Megaman Powered Up for that.

In all other merchandise involved with Megaman/Rockman released after PU he is still called Rock and not Mega.
Also... Megaman is serious business regarding about correct informations.

This is my third (and hope that last) attempt of remaking Dust Man (second you didn't saw - i planed to use unused Spring Man tileset but didn't work well). Now I decided to turn Dust Man into air themed robot. Hope you like it.

PS: I need some help with remaking some themes into 8-bit. I mean I need a composer who's good at Famitracker or pttone. Maybe there is site when I can ask people to help me out with that.

Last stage that left me to redone is Toad Man. I got some sketches for it (even whole stage redone) but it isn't looks fine. Maybe you have some ideas how to make him water themed robot master (such a place where the Toad Man could be).

Yeah, I slow down a bit, got some work at college. But I plan this year to relase demo. It will contain all robot master stages redone, some of King and Wily stages redone too and some custom music as well.

Hope you like it.

Graphical Help?
Ok, so I'm new to this forum, but not to Megaman hacking. The request I "bring to the table" today, is for all you graphic editors out there. I'm trying to make a Megaman 3 hack, and plan to edit the graphics with it. My artistic skill... sucks. And trying to use YY-CHR gives me a headache, so, if there's anyone that can do it, it will be greatly appreciated. I'm the only one working on this project, so any help/ advice would be appreciated... again.
PEACE!

Here's another question, for all you crazy Megaman hackers everywhere...
Can I "add" more graphics? Using Megaman 3 for example (because that's the game I'm trying to hack) In hex, or ASM, can I add more graphics to all the Robot Master Stages? I extend he bytes from the last offset of Shadowman's Graphics, will it add more?

If you guys know, pwease tell me.

no..
fami tracker has it's own music sound format.
They cant be copied into megaman 3-6 format.

When kevin and mexicansunflower did necro..
well kevin did it in some different program like fruity loops or something weird like that.

But there's nobody i know of personally that knows anything about FL... so then mexican had to convert it himself to fami tracker...

then Matrixz had to convert the fami tracker to megaman 3-6 format.

Because he was the only person i knew that knows how to write stuff "from" fami... "to" mm3-6 format.

---

And I don't assume Matrixz could tell us how to do that, could he?
