I dont want this thread to get off topic regarding other past projects, I will simply say that the project took a toll on my personal life, and stopped me from hacking for some time. It took some time for me to get back into doing what I enjoy. Im not saying ill never revisit Ultra 2, but when the time comes for me to go back to it, thats when that will be. People can get mad at me all they want, ive received from nasty comments regarding Ultra 2, and it just pushes me further feom releasing to anyone a finished product. Things happen in our lives that are just out of our control, and Ultra 2 haf a big part in what happened to me. If no one wants to respect my feelings and wishes on that, idk ehat ekse to tell you. Thats all I have to say about Ultr2.

Hello!

Long ago I had released a tool for hacking Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion. Originally it was called Zero Fission and written in VB6. It was then recoded in C/C++ and called Double Helix, since then it's had bugs and occasional updates.

So today I am proud to announce it will have a coming re-release hopefully to get people hacking these two amazing games. I wanted to show off it's features and hopefully get some sort of fanbase excited to start hacking it. So..without further adue.


There's also a room import, export feature and a spriteset editor and a door editor.

I'm hoping for the release before the end of the month. People with strong QA skills that want to test out and give me bug reports are very welcome.

So, I hope this can get some new GBAtroid hackers started!

Sweet man, nice to see you updating helix once again maybe I can fix my hack and export the palettes to a new rom.
If you don't mind me asking, are you going to continue working on smile ?
It would really make me happy, the 09 version you released isn't quite finished.

Nice to see you man.

Smile wasn't my project, I had a editor for SM called cheesy in the works but it fell through.

You will need to contactt Pete ac on smwcentral or find him in irc when he logs on.
He may or may not have the original hack on his computer.
Never hurts to ask though. :|

I have tried asking Pac a long time back; he didn't remember the level sources either.

Thanks Mike. Though I should point out the actual ROM itself isn't what I'm looking for. I'm trying to locate the sources of the World 9 and 0 levels, since they originated from ROM hacks of Super Mario Bros. made around the time SMB Enhanced/Deluxe came out, rather than being ports of the levels in Lost Levels.

Last night I shrunk down my chr from 64x8kb, to 32x8kb, and began reshifting some chr pages, and reassigning specific page bytes, so I can make my rom work with ither emulators.

Nestopia crashes when you try to press start during the waterfall intro, confirmed by kuja killer via pc, and myself with the nestopia build within the latest retroarch for ps3.

However, kuja killer figured out the $5130 issue, so later tonight I will try to get my rom working on bintendulator, and if what kuja killer explained to me works, I wont have to give up my 64x8kb chr size.

EDIT
2/21/13 Alpha 0.5 Release

Taken from the Change Log...

2/21/13 Alpha 0.5

Regarding The Emulator 'Nestopia'

Confirmed by kuja killer via pc, and myself using the latest build of nestopia within RetroArch for the Playstation 3, my rom crashes once you try to press start after the intro. I do not know why this is happening. If i'm able to find out/figure out why this is happening, i will let Nestopia users know. But for now as of 2-21-13, Nestopia is not an option for playing this.

With that said, i believe i have fix for the sprite glitches everyone is experiencing, using emulators other than FCEUX. Again, users are encouraged to post any sprite gltiches if they're still present, even in this Alpha 0.5 build.

1. Reverted the CHR from 64x8kb to 32x8kb. This is so i'm able to have my sprites appear correctly in other emulators. The MMC5 register $5130, is giving me undesired results, and is the main reason why users that use different emulators other than FCEUX, experience errors with the sprites in the game. The sprites keep fetching BG tiles, when they're not supposed to. So this really hurts if the time comes for garnishing the bg's with chr swapping, since i've limited myself by shrinking the free space i once had.

2. Fixed a glitch where if you have the Blue or Red Potion, and you purchase the Big Shield, it would empty the potion bottle. This has been fixed.

3. I experienced yet again, a cursor freezing issue when you obtain the Empty Bottle first. Right now, it's set where you can move the cursor when you have only 1 item. But in doing that, the cursor box will move over a blank area. If you exit the inventory screen, the B box displays nothing, that is until you move Link. Once you move Link, the B box will display the lonely item you have in your inventory. This does not happen when you have 2 or more items in your inventory.

I ran into a problem using FCEUX 2.1.4a.

At " C?46 " if you go the bottom path, coming in from the right, it locks up.

If you use the hex editor and change 0x000007 to 00 it unlocks it.

Id like someone with either experience, or a great sense of creativity that works and coexists with the already created world.

Super Ganja Land from 2005 by Ghettoyouth and Super Mario 5 impossible mission from 2006 by legoman. The Super Ganja Land hack has a link to an old acmlm board which is no longer around. I tried doing a google search of the 3 acmlm archives but didn't find anything.
