Nah, you're probably thinking of YD. She's from the bay area. I'm from Orange County, bitch.
Be sure to brush and floss daily to keep those Orange County choppers nice and sparkly clean


Yes, I couldn't resist the bad pun, so sue me (or don't)

I guess, but I just don't see the whole WOWEE CREAMING PANTS NOW THIS IS AWESOME! behind it.

Then again I do have a laptop, which beats the shit out of anything this can do (and then some)

On second thought, a lot of it is kind of warbly.. it doesn't actually stay fluid and tends to look weird.

Omega, Superluigi and Luigisan in particular:

IM me via AIM/MSN / Come on IRC so I can give your new password. Not ethat I'll be gone in an hour and I don't know for how long, so it's your problem if I'm not here.

So basically he just stuck some code to store the original text password in his shitty forum along with the normal password?

Christ, even I was nice enough to only do that when the user was banned (And that wasn't here...) Although seriously, I'm disappointed. Hell, at least I had the skills to cut together some javascript, PHP, and creativity to steal passwords... a cookie theiving image that shows up as ""? Yes. Not to mention actually developing my own "big red button", complete with autosubmit for board-at-once owning.

But seriously, I figured it was something like this... haven't you idiots learned to stop dealing with this fucking moron yet, or are you going to have to get attacked again?

Woohoo...I'm glad I'm behind on technology.

ZSNES netplay is less crap than actual DS WiFi. That's gotta say something.
I think Nintendo's online play is behind even Kalierra (or whatever that shitty emulation plugin is everyone insists on using), and that says something.

To sum up my experience with WFC, even with a very good connection, router, and distance (like, 7 feet):

Connecting to Nintendo WFC...
Warning! Are you sure? {YES}
ESRB notice: Gameplay may suck during online play. {OK}
Warning! Your name and birthday will be shown to opponents! {OK}

(Rankings)
some japanese nut ... 25 wins
Brandon ... 2 wins
Zelder ... 0 wins

(back to WFC menu) That was... pointless.

(Novice Battle) Finding opponent, please wait a moment ...
...
...
(10 minutes later) Searching ..........
(Backout, Free Play/Birthday Battle/whatever) Searching for opponent...
...

(20 minutes later) Okay, fuck this.
Connection error 5020125725, please reconnect to Nintendo WFC...


The best part is that ZSNES and Nintendo WFC share "friend codes", it's just that ZSNES's have periods

(000000-000000 versus 000.000.000.000)... but ZSNES is much more stable, easier to use, and doesn't try hiding all of your information or forcing really, really short games or disabling chat/whatever.

* Get computer with XP, or get a recovery disk with Vista on it
* Reformat, split HDD into two chunks, mabye three for "shit on both"
* Install XP on one
* Install Vista on the other


Vista will add another option for "Previous OS", so you can dual boot easily. I did it with my grandparents' computer.


Personally Vista isn't so bad, but it does need work, like every other OS known to man. Just be patient and wait for a service pack to come out.

*013208> BMF54123> People treating him like God, etc.
*013213> laptuna> I think he is a bit green
*013249> BMF54123> Well, I never got this much attention when I did things like that boss life meter in SMO...
*013306> laptuna> Yeah, but that's just a boss life meter
*013311> laptuna> it's technically unamazing
*013314> laptuna> (to most people)
*013315> BMF54123> People are starting to think DD has transcended the limits of the NES's abilities or something.
*013337> laptuna> tbh, all I see a life meter as is "memory address saying "don't killb oss yte"
*013347> laptuna> some of DD's stuff is quite amazing, and remember
*013352> BMF54123> But DD did the same thing! He just implemented an air meter, and people are like "this isn't SMB3 anymore!!@#$%"
*013357> laptuna> he also released Mario Adventure and an unfinished Mario v. Luigi
*013411> laptuna> so peopel have something radically different from the *old* SMB3 to say
*013415> laptuna> "Wow, he did this too!"
*013419> BMF54123> yeah...
*013425> laptuna> as opposed to SMO, which is just kind of... "what's that?"
*013449> BMF54123> I just think there are some ROM hacking accomplishments that are far more deserving of praise.
*013506> BMF54123> I think JaSp's hacks are far more impressive, myself...
*013509> laptuna> There are, of course
*013514> laptuna> There always is
*013524> laptuna> it's just, he's DarkDhaiz
*013528> laptuna> he's got a name out there on the internet
*013535> laptuna> he has one of the most famous hacks ever
*013543> laptuna> people look up to the guy :\
*013617> laptuna> and Super Metroid Redesign got what, several thousand posts too =|
*013631> laptuna> I think MMVengance was getting a lot of attention too until it died
*013641> BMF54123> mmm.



In short, while I do feel DD is getting quite a lot of praise for things, I also believe that compared to most things here, he is deserving. And regarding "other hacks", this is true also... but you seem to have forgotten them:

"Zelda : Parallel Worlds" got plenty of comments, praise, and overall criticism when it was released (several pages full)
"Super Metroid Redesign" did as well, and even has a TAS in the works (?)
"Super Demo World" is still the Super Mario World hack
"Mega Man Vengance" was highly looked forward to, until it was canned
Various other hacks, too, have been shown here and been very amazing overall.

Do not hate people because there are people who follow them, kissing the ground they walk on. DD's changes are indeed quite impressive, and many people are amazed, not to mention SMB3 is one of the better known games of all time, and DD's hack(s) are the only notable ones released for it as of yet (that I know of, though JaSP's Some Usual Day is looking quite interesting).


However, despite BMF's assurance that I should not give you a ton of shit over this, I will say this:


And DahrkDaiz, must you really show off every little change you make to the game as you make it? I mean, seriously, the only reason to do something like that is to boost your ego.


It is not uncommon for people to show off changes. Why not show them, after all? People, even me, can wonder if the changes work properly, or how they will change the game. Just because he has something to show does not mean he shouldn't.



In short, shut up.

Sigh. I think showing a massive change, such as adding a completely new move, is a bit of a major change.

FYI, Sonic hackers have a complete disassembly of the games to work with, so "copy pasting" code is quite easy. Don't think that just because another hack does it, no other oe can either. (Note: I think Megamix kicks ass)

On that note, though, should we all hate JaSp because he's releasing videos and screenshots of a "whoopee" password system? Or a message box with a Goomba? Wow, that's some real major changes there.




In any case, you have nothing to show for yourself other than words. You say you will post nothing, announce nothing... that seems to be quite against the idea of getting criticism before your hack is released, which happened to one major hack (Hi, Parallel Worlds, you suck)... Then again it is your choice.

That font hurts my eyes. Some letters ("c" in particular) don't align with the rest and overall it just looks odd.

The overworld looks really, really bland too. I don't see why everyone obsesses over the "SMB3-like level tiles", since they really don't fit SMW and look like crap.

JaSp's password system is far from 'whoopee'. That's a pretty impressive change, in my opinion, and I bet you it took more work than that triple jump.

while (password) {
if (right) val++
if (left) val--
if (up) ltr[val]--
if (down) ltr[val]++

if (start) {
if (compareval(ltr, pwd)) doshit
} else {
break()
}
}


This is the kind of shit I programmed in QBasic when I was 7. Not that it's that easy in assembly (or fitting it into the rest of the code) but the psuedocode is already simple enough as it is. Hell, the code could easily be taken from almost any game that allows high scores or any input at all.

It should float on its own; inactive threads that aren't posted often or are used as "archivals" (see: IRC thread) are good stickies, as is the Photo Album.

This is just a sort of general bullshit topic pepole are free to bump at will, no reason to sticky it..
