A few questions before I start with hacking the game since I've had a lot of difficulties with Hyrule Magic in the past.

1. What version of the rom is best to use for distributing the ips file?
2. Is the Zcompress + YY-CHR method better or the manual export import?
3. Can the opening scene of the game be edited? ( With aghanim and all that )
4. Is there anyone who knows how to do the big key chest key mechanic from parallel worlds that would be willing to explain/help me with that?

If anyone else has any advice for hacking Zelda 3 it would be greatly appreciated, as well as thank you to MikeTechno for the words of encouragement!

Its from Ocarina of Time. Its the Song of Time, but the version is from when you open the Temple of Light if I remember correctly.

Now, how about this issue I have with deleting messages. I can't; it keeps saying that I need to log in

Just wanted to let you all know that I've been doing pretty decent lately, and I think it's safe to say that I'll be able to work on the Editor again. I've actually already been doing a little work on it the past month.

I'm redoing some things at its core right now, but after that I'll be back to work on adding functionality. I really would like to get it to the point of actually editing the levels soon; I don't know how long that will take, but I'm chipping away at it.

The hacking section was never up for axing. The suggestion in the head post of this thread was to remove some sections which are just sitting around with nothing happening, like "Entertainment".

All websites die in time. Each of my suggestions are completely serious. Now;

Archive the forums. Implement sub-forums. Combine Modern Art, Forum Games, and Writing into Creativity or similar. Remove all Fun and Entertainment forums except for Fraxy and Gaming.
Make sure subforums work. Move Spatula into General. Move all non ROM Hacking forums into ROM Hacking. Move Display Case into Landfill.
Re-theme the site so that it looks less like a fucking wasteland. Integrate the Uploader into the forum view. Replace the hard drive and make the site less fucking slow. Remove all bronies from the moderation staff.



With the facts as they stand, I cannot think of a single reason for this place to keep existing. Not only is the site slow, but it's obscure and gives no prominence to new content as it arrives. Considering you are both unwilling and unable to work on things, the only "solution" I can suggest is putting everything into lockdown and directing people somewhere that can match the functionality provided by board2 but in an environment more conducive to content and posting.

Can we please not incite a flame war?

In YY-CHR, you are able to arrange how you view the data. There should be a drop-down list called 'Patterns'. Try some of these pre-set arrangements. I was able to find a setting that made the graphics look some-what recognizable.



Hope this helps!

My personal suggestion is to archive the board and migrate the remaining members to whatever similar board would suit their tastes.
This has been the most gracious way I've seen forums die. For the romhackers, I would suggest migrating to romhacking dot net. It seems to be fairly active amongst the newbies still, and is still pretty laid back.

Hello again,
after reading the article of Super Mario Galaxy 2 in The Cutting Room Floor, I came to the idea of making a hack of Super Mario Galaxy 2, which does the following:
-it adds back Ice Mario and Flying Mario
-it adds back all the unused SMG leftover enemies and objects
->the only exceptions being Cataquacks, since they crash SMG2 even if you add back their models
-it adds some of the unused SMG galaxies and zones
->including the infamous Starman Fort and Home Planet
-it adds some new galaxies as well
->mostly recreations of already exisiting courses from other Mario games
->also adds a few Banjo-Kazooie courses, which can be SMG2-fied with just little effort
With all that said, I want to do this hack, but I have questions:
What SMG/SMG2 editor would you suggest me (I have a noteboock with Windows 7)?
How do I play Wii hacks without the use of Homebrew Channel?
How do I port models from SMG into SMG2 (in order to make most of the unused SMG leftover work like described at TCRF)?
How do I make new galaxies, if I already have the models needed for a galaxy's zone?
How do I add new music tracks?
I would be very glad, if someone could help me there. Thanks in advance!

But how, if I can't even open SMG2 with Anarchy in the Galaxy?
And I can't post it into the Hack Ideas Thread as well, because that would be a necro bump otherwise...

Progress is coming along, I do apologize for the delay in updates, but I feel the next release will be worth the wait. :-)

It's likely that you'll need to find the full .iso. There are programs out there that can help you rip an SMG1 disc, but I think you need the right drivers. I tried once with my copy of Kirby Air Ride, but the disc couldn't be read, let alone ripped. You might have better luck with a 12 cm disc.
