Last view: 3477 days 		Hey, I'm somewhat new to the hacking scene and I was just wondering...

Does anyone know how to make the bosses more difficult?

I was thinking of making BoomBoom jump higher like in Some Usual Day and have the final 3 Koopalings require more hits on the hits on the head before they "die." Is there any way I could edit this using a hex editor or do I need to hack into the ASM?

Last view: 3477 days 		I was afraid of that. I was also interested in putting the maps' songs in a couple of levels similar to what Shwa did in Chaos Control.
I know next to nothing about ASM hacking. Can you or JaSp give me a couple of pointers?

You could COMPARE (CMP) a World level you're in or create a list of HP hits for each world. I haven't done that yet but it's gonna put me on hold whenever I make a SMB3 hack in the future. According to the Koopalings AI data, there were a few CMP's (C9 XX) for certain attacks of their own kind once the world is loaded next to it.


How do I do that?

Text in the game can be edited using a hex editor with .TBL support and the table information you can find here.


I already have a tbl file, looking at the data made no sense. The quote marks were missing. There were also a lot of spaces. I'm thinking there's some compression going on

Let me know if you need a hand, but I know it's documented somewhere.


I could use some help there, thanks

The colors of the text are stored in a 64-byte block found at $1A82B in the ROM (it is raw attribute data). If you open the rom in FCEUX, open the hex editor, pull up the ROM (under the "View" menu), and go to $1A82B, you can start playing around with the values. After changing the values, reset the ROM and you'll see the changes take effect.

Changing the text to all white would be easy (changing certain bytes to 00). If you want to do your own custom "highlighting", well, even thought I understand attribute data perfectly well in theory, trying to manipulate it by hand gives me one hell of a headache.


I looked into a rom map that I acquired from datacrystal and it said that the ROM offset was at $1A81b.

Depends on the utility.


Mainly for Thingy(x86 as well) and the Hex Editor that comes with FCEUX.

Any idea how some games or pirated games like Pocket Monsters Yellow on the NES are more than 1,024 of rom size?


Maybe since they're pirated, they don't need to adhere to NES standards?

Last view: 3477 days 		I think maybe with (A) you should look at the PPU for hints. If it's anything like the NES, then you should be able to find a good "block" that'll prevent Link from interacting with. On that note, I haven't played ALTTP in a while, and I can't remember how to interact with the shopkeeper's items. Best of luck to ya
