I guess it's a yes considering the donut I ate was 3 years old.

Have you ever connected an atari 2600 to a 1080p TV?

I had a good time on Uncle Sam's birthday. I watched some fireworks outside my window and after they finally stopped we grabbed some dry ice and blew some shit up. I had a great time chucking them in the canal and watching them blow up hundreds of feet downstream underneath traffic! Also tied a rock to one of them and blew one of them up under water.

All in all, a kickass way to celebrate 7/4!

Er, does Green Kirby not realize that Tatrion doesn't even post here?

He doesn't know very many people. This is evident due to the fact that he's voted me for best ROM hacker. =p

What if a user were to make significant changes to the ROM itself where the level/pointer/graphics data location changes? Maybe if the editor fails to load data from the ROM at its usual spot, the editor would then ask you to point it to its correct spot and save the settings in a .cfg file for future reference?

That brings up a different question... What if someone has already started a hack and has made changes to it? The user would have to lose all ASM changes he has made to it and would have to just settle for level/graphics importing. They would also have to possibly recode it a different way due to the MMC5 mapper.

Now, I'm not all ASM-savvy, but it sounds like your approach to loading a ROM this way also has some technical issues.

This is why everything is loaded from the ROM in case the user does modify things. If it worked with SMB3 Workshop, it will work with my editor.

---

There was a thread asking of editors could render the level data using subroutines within the ROM. I forgot where this thread was, but is that how you are going to do it?

On another note,

I'm sure people already know the difference, but let's state this in the thread anyways. DD, What are the advantages and features of having an expanded ROM with MMC5? What can you do with this enhanced ROM that you couldn't do before?

This is awesome then, I really didn't liked how the SMB3 levels were extremely short.

---

Anybody with any kind of level design skills would know that you could just add a pipe at the end of the level that leads to another full-sized level. That'd increase the level size a bit. However, things might change with this new editor, so I'm going to just wait and see how things will go after the editor comes out.

I know a lot of problems arise when editing pointers. It's a little more obscure than simply editing a regular object. I know I had many problems when I first started editing SMB3, and was my main reason for giving up on a hack that I started a while back. How easy will editing pointers be? Will there be a GUI that is designed robust so as to help noobs like me with this?

Seriously though, even if you only enter in one category, we need all the votes we can get.

This looks like fun. This also looks like people who have a keyboard might enjoy it a little easier than the walljumping in Metroid games. Are you planning on changing his graphics a little bit? Also, do you have anything planned for a projectile powerup?

I was really debating calling it sushi myself, but that's what my mindset is. With what I had on hand and what little money I had in my pocket, California Rolls are what ended up existing. They didn't exist for very long though.

I'll update when I undergo another sushi adventure.

Mountain Dew is the best, it helps me stay up late to increase productivity.

I never really liked the regular Mountain Dew. I like LiveWire and the new Supernova they have now. I really wish they kept the Game Fuel they had out for Halo 3. Thing is, Caffeine/sugar really doesn't have any kind of effect on me. It's not like a hyper high, then crash, but rather just the crash itself. Ginseng on the other hand gets me going a little, but not much.

I mostly like dark sodas. Root Beer, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper. Coke is something I'll drink only if I have to. Fuck the diet shit, because I only drink for the taste of soda. If I ever drink it, I'll gag and need to send something else down there like cocks a hamburger or potato chips.

speaking of which, DD: how much of your smb3notes.txt are you going to incorporate into your editor? =p

I'm incorporporating more into my editor than anything I ever documented.

I just shat my pants.

I have a question: In the southwest corner of the Mushroom Kingdom map, during the Mack event, there is a citizen being chased by a monster. What kind of code is this, and is it going to be handled by the editor?

I often like to buy those little packages of sushi at the grocery store. You know, the ones over at the deli? They're like 7 bucks per package, but you get a lot of them and they taste great!

...Oh suck, now I'm in the mood for them now...

*KP9000 goes to buy some sushi

...Come to think of it, it might be the only Asian product not made in Asia.
