Go right ahead. Would you like some specifics on the tilemap format?

Well, that's no good. I guess I'll have to do it myself then

Edit: here's an explanation of the tilemap format specifics. http://helmet.kafuka.org/sma4tilemaps.svg

As for more details, me and Treeki came up with the following idea: a level editor would read the header (12 bytes, IIRC), which is followed by either a pointer to the new LZ77-compressed tilemap data and the ASCII string "LZ77COMPRESSED" (followed by irrelevant stuff) or unaltered object-based level data. If the string matches, the pointer is assumed valid and the level is loaded from there. If not, the editor could inform the user that the current level is still object based and offer to append some space at the end of the ROM and insert a pointer and that string.

If a level is saved and ends up taking more space when compressed than before, clear out the part of the ROM it was stored in before and find the next best fit, starting at the 4 MB mark (the end of the original ROM). To properly clear out the original level, the editor should remember both starting offset and total compressed data length.

One other thing we came up with: clear the object list as you install the pointer and token, then move the sprite data for that level to just after the token, which would supposedly give some slack space to add more sprites to a level.


I am giving this entirely too much thought.

Because "Terra" is thinner than "Final Fantasy". I can't imagine it'd look right.

The Nintendo uses cartridges, the Famicom uses disks...
Say whaaaaa-? No! Both are cartridge based! The Famicom Disk System was an add-on.

Except they're not at all different. The Famicom had an underutilized microphone and unremovable controllers with only player one having the Start button, but they were not that much different from a software POV.

It's not a fact, it's a falsehood.


Oh, and some sound differences. But still, if it's not for regional lockout measures, American/European carts can run on a Famicom and vice versa.

Not you too, setz, not you too. The Famicom Disk System is not the same thing as the Famicom, and you too make it sound like it is!

The rest of your points are perfectly valid though.

Well, I do have the vector mocks, so I guess I could...

Well, to my surprise, it does look pretty good. I forgot that it's not "Terra" vs "Final Fantasy" but "FFIV". Mockup

"Object Size Exceeded"
Considering there's no "objects" to speak of, save for the sprites, this error message is less than irrelevant.

As for thanking for my work, save that for when there's an actual level editor. All the above was just planning.

As for the arcade game, I agree it's wasted space but it's difficult to just up and erase. Too easy to overshoot your target and kill a part of SMB3, or to do the opposite and leave parts in.

Ask me anything that makes enough sense to consider answering, about any topic. If I don't know about it, I might make something up or I might study the topic right there and then. Who'll be able to tell? Does that matter? At any rate, kindly try not to repeat questions that have come before, okay?

So without further ado... let 'er rip, boarders!

Here's a counter-question that doesn't need to be answered: was there a point to it's predecessors?

On a related matter, you should see what Nintendo did when they ported Wolfenstein 3D to the Super NES. lulz.
I saw. I understand that iD software was so miffed, they practically -gave- Wisdom Tree the resources to make Super Noah's Ark 3D.
