Here's some screenshots from my upcoming Super Metroid hack. I have currently finished about ~30% of crateria and ~20% of Brinstar. I plan to change at least one area to some Chozo ruin-themed place with (partially) new GFX. At this point I have done ~20 new rooms from scratch and changed couple of palettes and played with FX.
 
 
 
The rest of the screenshots are here I remember someone posting some Morrowind screens in "the other board". So just put these here for fun. It's my old and dead Japanese-themed MW-mod. Most of the models are made by me. Click here to see Green-Kirby: To be honest, I don't like your palettes. Something more "restrained" and not so radical would look better. If you aim at icy and snowy feel, maybe you should try greyish/whitish and only little bit blueish colors. Also if someone knows how to fix the problem with Samus' ship seen in Green-Kirby's pic, could you please tell me/us how to fix it. I'm having the same problem and can't seem to fix it by moving the two "plates" and ship PLMs. |

Posted by Smallhacker If I remember correctly, you actually could save those changes by clicking File -> Write VROM. And I also suspect that Nesticle was the source of all those good old penis-wheelchair-KKK-whatever "funny" GFX hacks of the late 90s. |

Is there any way to use Ceres station graphics in other parts of the game? I have tried all kind of things to get them working (mainly by working with room related pointers), but rom still seems to lock up (screen gets filled with bg-color) when the game is doing the room transition scroll. |

Posted by SuperMetroid Thanks for the help, that's one way. Duh, I feel so stupid.  It seems that only thing I had to do was to change room header type to "Ceres". |

Posted by SuperMetroid Of course but I didn't mention that because I thought it was so obvious that I had changed the tileset at the beginning and that was the reason why it was locking up. |

Posted by blackhole89 It's a (rare?) puzzle game called Moai kun: http://www.romhacking.net/trans/188/ I had the game on my NES in "191 in 1" pirate cartridge bought from Spain in the 90's. Haven't actually met anyone else who'd have had the game though  |

Posted by Raccoon SamPosted by Legato Yup. Level data of this game is rather simple. It starts at the 678F with for example stage 1 consisting of these parts: 6F8F level theme (BG and palette) 6F90 starting position 6F91-6F92 placement of door 6F93-6FC6 block data Block structure: First 4-bits: lenght of the block (0-F) Second 4-bits: type of the block (0-F) Level data is read row by row and summed lenght of the blocks must always fill the whole level (F*F blocks). With a few minutes of playing with notepad and hex editor I was able to change stage 1 to this: 
My next goal is to make a simple level editor. |

Posted by Googie Thanks. Well, the game is very simple too I'm a beginner in level editor programming and datamining so this is like a practice work for level editor making for me.
Posted by Trax Graphics and level hack. I don't think it's that "obvious". You can't find that kind of level from the original game. Yes, I have changed some graphics just for the warm-up. Don't worry, I won't make a hack with that kind of dull GFX It's true that they are little bit misleading though.
Posted by Trax 1. It's the cursor for the door placement (32x32). 2. Duh, I have to admit I can't remember And I can't test it in my current situation (damn you government)
3. First is a little bit graphically changed normal breakable block, second one is a block you that you can walk through the horizontal, but not from the vertical sides. It's also breakable. |

Tile ID shows up correctly in the name table. You are looking at the wrong tile in the PPU viewer. Status bar shows up screwed both in the name table viewer and PPU viewer, because it is drawn in different scanline. Try adjusting "Display on scanline" to the time status bar is drawn. I guess it's drawn in somewhere around 190-200. To study NES "very in-depth" I recommend reading some documents of NES architecture. You can get those for ex. from Romhacking.net. Personally I'd recommend y0shi's quite comprehensive document. |

Posted by Ailure 1.02 works with Nestopia. Difference between those two versions is that 1.01 uses mapper 3 when 1.02 uses mapper 4. |

Posted by Ailure Or most likely I'm using outdated Nestopia
My version is as old as 1.09 and the rom I used was 40,960 bytes. But 1.02 doesn't really give you anything more, so I wouldn't be too concerned about it working
Posted by XTTX The download is password protected. Description of the file says only "uprodadottonetto" > "uploda.net" so that doesn't help the case. Didn't find any references to that site from Japanese BBS's so I have no idea what the password is. Posted by Googie It seems like the files are getting deleted after few days, so it can't be found from that site anymore 
By the way, I guess some of you have already seen these, but I found some interesting looking hacks when I tried to find Rockman II DX from Japanese BBS's: http://www.geocities.jp/dhiark/re/ http://yamaika-web.hp.infoseek.co.jp/NC/rockmanNC.htm |

Everyone knows what Romhacking.net is and these are all quite old and well known utilities. Also, you can't hotlink to romhacking.net's files. |

Posted by RomManic Now I don't understand. If the both of them were defending their fellow humans, then what was the threat they were defending against? Also, no army of any country fights to kill people, but to defend and possess property and resources. Where's the sacrifice "so that you could exist"? I find it utterly absurd to die or kill for the sake of property, and at the worst doing that for motives of ideologically-oriented rulers. I see absolutely no glory in that. |

Posted by smkdan Actually I think it was also released here in Scandinavia. I remember playing and frustrating over it when I was a kid. Though it's name was Mr. Gimmick! here. |

Posted by SePH Wow, just wow. I love the new color theme and new graphics. I must admit that I am anticipating this hack a lot. |

Moai-Kun, puzzle game that was released only in Japan. I had this game on my NES in a "191 in 1" pirate cartridge in the 90s and I started to hack this game in 2007, but the hard disk all my work was in got broken shortly after starting the hack.
I got a private message from one of the users of this board about the data of this game little while ago and it sparked an interest to hack this game again. Couple of days ago I decided to start looking for the level data again, and after I found the level pointers building the level editor was easy. I used Kawa's "Map Editor Creation Tutorial's" tile drawing code as a starting point and it gave me a great kick start to finish the editor. Thank you, Kawa! The editor currently edits levels and level enemies. It doesn't have graphics loading or any other fancy stuff, because I thought it would be an overkill for such a marginal game. EDIT: The editor is no longer dependent to VisualBasic PowerPack. It is written in C# (target framework 4.0 Client), so NET Framework 4.0 Runtime libraries are needed to run the editor. EDIT 5/8/12: Screenshot and download links fixed. Download Moai-senpai |

Posted by Googie Hmm, does it give any error messages? It should only need NET Framework 4.0. EDIT: I updated the first post with a cleaned version of the editor. It no longer depends to VisualBasic.PowerPack, so only libraries it needs to run now are the .NET Framework 4.0 Runtime libraries. |

Posted by Googie Does it give more specific error? One more try, I uploaded a new version, you can download it from the link in my first post. Any luck? Haha, haven't seen Windows XP screen in a while I almost miss its visual style and quirks! |
