it's not as easy as expanding a SNES or genesis rom for example.

---

Or GBA, up to 32 MiB. Not sure about larger than that though...

Still, smkdan's thing about mappers is correct.

*** Correct me if I'm wrong here ***

Simple games like Super Mario Bros 1 and the very very first NES games have only two chips: one PRG-ROM and one CHR-ROM. These contain all the program code and non-character data 512 tiles worth of character data respectively. These are saved as a single .NES file, with the header specifying how many of each. The NES itself can only read one of each.

Adding a memory mapper allows you to (among other effects specific to said mapper) switch in a different chip at will, usually with a certain divisor. For example, you could switch in up to four different program banks at a given time, or split the tileset into several pieces. This is how basic animated tilesets are done, actually. The better the mapper, usually, the bigger the divisor.

One thing they all share though is that the game must actually set certain registers to cause these bank switches. Different mappers have different registers and values.

If I remember correctly, it's been that way for a while now. I can check if you want.

I also highly doubt there's a plugin to do -that-. More specifically, that plugins -can- do that in the first place. Sorry.

Edit: I'm glad to hear you like the ribbon, though. I saw it get a lot of (mostly senseless) flak, but you know... menus and toolbars don't scale very well.

So you already had a brute, Kawa? How about creating one or a couple for me?

Not in your life.

Nope, still not happening.

Because you're Trapster. Isn't that obvious?

I wish someone would TELL ME why it was bad!

Personally, I don't think it's -that- bad, but since you asked so nicely... I find the text somewhat hard to read due to small size and the quote box on the bottom sticks out like a sore thumb.

The basic design is nice and dark, easy on the eyes yet not too bland.

If you read the thread, you'd know.

But since you probably won't accept that for an answer, I remember reading that it was Mac only, due to the GUI toolkit used, but that if you wanted to do Windows or Linux versions you could get the game format documentation.

And no, you can't pay us to make one for you

So, if sad things are fun to Trapster, does that make it okay to make fun of how sad he is to do this kind of thing?

Are you implying I have multiple brutes?

True. I am also playing the game. Takes a few minutes every day to do some challenging and then I'm off.

False. You have multiple brutes and went into detail on how you tricked the game into allowing this. If anybody is a time wasting cheater, it's not me.

Consider this my last reply to Trapster, as I'd rather not flood my PM inbox with his stuff.

Trapster: I did not and never have cheated in MyBrute. Unlike Trapster, who at the very least intended to.

Stark: Congratulations on beating me, expected as it may be, and sorry for fagging up the thread.

I wasn't aware the staff knew what "womanhood" was.

What character tropes would you ascribe to other board2 people? Here's one list to get you started.

There's just one rule: don't describe yourself, only others.

I'll start with these:
Stark -- Stop Having Fun Guy, Boisterous Bruiser?
Jargon -- Buttmonkey, Miles Gloriosus
Trapster -- Completely Missing The Point, Stalker With A Crush
Ailure -- Heavy Sleeper

RomManic -- Holier Than Thou, Preacher Man, Mission From God

In this thread, Trapster demonstrates Completely Missing The Point. Those are not tropes.

The ESC key is the only keyboard key used by this program.

Words nearly fail me at this point, and several others.

What alignment would you ascribe to the board2 members and staff, past and present?

Marzen -- neutral good
Knuck -- chaotic neutral

Edit: same rule as in Trope a Dope, don't align yourself plzkthx.

I don't think this is THAT simple to program, though...

By the time I finished reading that sentence, I had a rough draft of the basics in mind. Nothing beyond that though. Besides, I'm one to talk
