I finally get my new computer tomorrow so I can return to ROM hacking! Can't wait. It sucks having to use your parents computer, especially when they don't want you using it.

I will either be hacking Dark Mario, or doing some ASM hacking to MM3. With MM3, I'll probably make a new weapon or something. I'm undecided yet. But I do have some ideas in mind, and ideas are everything!

Really, you can have all the hacking experience in the world, but if you can't think of anything creative to do, then it doesn't mean anything.

Question. I'm going to sound like a total newbie right now, but I have to ask. How do you take things that you make in paint or photoshop, and put them in the ROM? Every time I draw something in paint or photoshop, and copy and paste them into YY-Char, it comes out screwed up.

For example, go into paint, and use the color black, and type some text. Let's say, "Test" for example. If you copy and paste that into YY-Char, it doesn't look right. And I think the reason for that is, is that it doesn't match the NES palette.

Yet, I've seen people make awesome title screens. So what's the deal?

Perhaps you could have Boil Man start out with a blue color. And all Boil Man does is shoot with his buster cannon (like Megaman's). Then, as Boil Man's health drops to halfway, the more his health drops to the halfway point, the more his color changes from blue to red.

Blue
Purple
Orange
Red - Boiled State

Then after he has turned red, his buster cannon shoots out balls of hot boiling lava (he has reached his boiling point).

It looks like SMB3 hacking is coming back into action. I think I had a long enough break from it. I'll probably start hacking again next week, if I get my new computer that is (still didn't get it yet). In the meantime, I'll be thinking of innovative ASM and level ideas on graph paper.

Yo Dr. Hell, have you ever thought of hacking SMB3? I would love to see what you would come up with, since you are very good at sprites and graphics.

A breath meter would be a better idea. You would use a free RAM address for the breath meter, and than once it is depleted, Megaman loses health. But once Megaman jumps out of the water, the breath meter is restored. If Megaman runs out of health completely underwater, he dies. And this wouldn't be that hard to code either.

Remember the ammo meter I coded for Megaman: Fully Loaded? It's the same concept.

I might want to try to code this for fun.

At 1:25 in your video, if you don't get those coins before the P-Switch time runs out, you're screwed.

Still burns though.
lol.

Yeah, you need to be a little more realistic with the colors there. You want some advice? Get rid of that blue, and turn it back to black. That light blue on the status bar, put that back to black. Don't worry about those frame colors. Those colors should be standard for every world map. Instead, focus on the colors of the actual map itself.

I know exactly what Retrorain is thinking as I created this ASM all night about 7 hours staring in my computer while listening to my music.


Obi-Wan has taught you well.

There's a nice SMB3 engine by DJrellik.
I made a small demo with it:

That's awesome. That's what I like about Game Maker, you are not limited by what is already there in a ROM. You can do whatever the hell you want.

There is also a Megaman engine created by N64Mario. I will probably be looking into that if I continue with my Megaman game design. Not being limited is the best thing. And the easy use of the program is just as good.

Lets face it, we all have a list like this. And it might even be longer than 3 things. But, what are your top 3?

1. Stupidity

Can't stand it. If you work in retail, you see this everyday. And not just in retail. People are always doing stupid things, and a lot of the stupidity is uncalled for. I can tolerate a lot of things, but I can not tolerate stupidity of any kind.

2. Girls that laugh at everything

These are the girls that will laugh no matter what. Yes, very annoying. I don't even acknowledge that they are there.

3. People that are so in love with themselves.

Can't stand people with inflated egos. People that are conceited. People that think life revolves around them, and that the world owes them a favor. Fuck these people.

In Edit Profile, add a box where people can put their YouTube address. I know people can voluntarily show their YouTube address in their sigs, or in their bio or other options, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add a box where they can put their YouTube address, because a lot of ROM hackers here have a YouTube account where they show off the videos of their hacks, we should make a separate cell specifically for that. Not a bad idea in my opinion, and should be very easy to code it in. Right underneath the contact or personal information. Like this:

I've been playing Pokémon Yellow on my GameCube GameBoy Player. I'm a little bit addicted right now.

There is just something really awesome about the 3 original GameBoy games, Red, Blue, and Yellow. They are very good, and hey, they are the originals. I can tolerate FireRed and LeafGreen a little bit, but I don't care for any of the Pokémon games past Red, Blue, and Yellow. Why? Because the Pokémon were not original anymore. And a lot of the Pokémon were just horrible.

The original 150 Pokémon, in my opinion, will always be what Pokémon was all about. Not the newer Pokémon that just got ridiculous, and sometimes you wondered if they had just run out of ideas for Pokémon, which is why they got more and more ridiculous. A perfect example is Pichu. A pre-evolution form of Pikachu?

The original 150 will always be the best, and the original 150 are what were on the GameBoy. They were unique, original, creative, and is what made the series what it is.

FireRed and LeafGreen were okay, but I like the classics better. When game companies do remakes of games, they tend to add more stuff in.

I like the simplicity of the originals. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. And if it is simple already, stick with it. Keep it simple. I like the 8-bit style a lot better. I will never buy that graphics make a game. Because they don't. What do you guys think about the original Red, Blue, and Yellow versus the newer ones we have today? I think that the new games are just horrible.

What I think is that "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" is a very ironic thing to say when talking about the first gen games.
How come?

It's buggy as hell and the type advantage table is broken. Need I continue?
lol. I never thought the originals were that glitchy. Yes, I am aware of the MissingNo. glitch, but I never really noticed any major glitches, nor did I find them to be a problem. And the advantage table was broken? What do you mean by that?

Well, it is interesting. But I never really had any trouble with that. I think these 3 originals are fun as hell.

I think we can all agree on this one:

The fucking phone rings during dinner.

When I'm eating, the last thing I want is to be bothered.

As the series has gone on, I can say this:
As more games were developed, the quality of the pokemon declined, however, the mechanics from generation to generation has vastly improved. Competitive play in D/P/Pt is really fun, thanks the the physical/special move split.
Yeah, I guess I can agree with this. The quality of Pokémon has definitely declined. The Pokémon have just become silly and un-impressive, and not to mention that they put too much damn detail into the Pokémon. Compare the later Pokémon with the original 150, and notice how the original 150 are still cool, and simple, and the later Pokémon have detail everywhere, and they just aren't cool at all in my opinion. Too much detail isn't good.

Now I prefer the 8-bit style of playing Pokémon, but I guess that certain gameplay mechanics have improved with the later games.

You guys have inspired me to play Pokémon Crystal again, when I get the chance.

By the way, that Zelda post layout is awesome. And it's easy on the eyes.

Snackin' while Hackin'...
heh, that's cute. Well, I tend to snack on anything that is in the house at the time. It is usually Nutri-Grain bars (strawberry) or pretzels. I don't like eating popcorn, cheez-its, or other greasing things while I'm at the computer, because of the obvious reason, you get the keyboard and mouse greasy.
