I want to add a new feature to Dark Mario; Multi-Directional Fireball Throwing, similar to what Bass does in Megaman & Bass. I was wondering if I could get some tips or advice on what do. Here is my take on it:
1. We need to find the code that is executed when you have firepower and press the button to shoot a fireball. Nothing that the Trace Logger couldn't do. $AB68:A5 D8 LDA $D8 = #$00 $AB6A:0D 45 05 ORA $0545 = #$00 $AB6D: D0 09 BNE $AB78 $AB6F:A5 02 LDA $02 = #$00 $AB71:C9 28 CMP #$28 $AB73:30 03 BMI $AB78 $AB78:A0 28 LDY #$28 $AB7A:AD DD 03 LDA $03DD = #$00 $AB7D:C9 7F CMP #$7F $AB7F: D0 02 BNE $AB83 (10 lines skipped) $ABA2:C8 INY $ABA3:C8 INY $ABA4:C8 INY $ABA5:C8 INY (2029 lines skipped) $A265:20 AF A2 JSR $A2AF Go down more in the log $A2AF:A2 01 LDX #$01 $A2B1: BD E1 7C LDA $7CE1,X @ $7CE2 = #$00 $A2B4:F0 04 BEQ $A2BA $A2BA:AD F1 04 LDA $04F1 = #$00 $A2BD:09 20 ORA #$20 $A2BF:8D F1 04 STA $04F1 = #$00 $A2C2:A9 0B LDA #$0B $A2C4:8D 13 05 STA $0513 = #$00 I have noticed by doing a write to $513, that a different bank is switched in temporarily, to handle the fireball routine code. 2. Pseudo-code. - Check to make sure Up or Down is being held. - Branch to proper location depending on which is being held down. - Fire ball goes up/down (I don't know how to do this) - Otherwise Fireball goes normally like it always does. 3. Technical Pseudo-code. LDA $17 ; Select RAM Address 17 (Buttons held down) CMP #$08 ; Compare it to 08 (Up) BEQ ; If true, branch to an area where I can carry out my code CMP #$04 ; Compare it to 04 (Down) BEQ ; If true, branch to an area where I can carry out my code - Otherwise Regular Fireball code here - I don't know how to carry out the direction of the fireball (Up/Down) I might have to figure most of this out on my own, but if you have any better Pseudo-code, or any tips on how to go about this, I would appreciate it. Thanks. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

I did my first successful bank-swap tonight.  I managed to swap in a free bank at the title screen, to put in my title screen music, that way I don't have to overwrite the code for the curtains. I also enabled it so that Mario can do flips regardless of star power. I'm currently doing some trace logging, so I can see what other cool stuff I can come up with.

Introducing... World 2!
 
 
This level design is inspired by FlameStag's stage from Mega Man X2. 
Sunset Canyon. Mirror Version.

Yeah, I'll definitely fix it. Don't worry about it.  Thanks for the comments. I am at school right now, so I can't do any work on the hack, but when I get home later, I'll do a lot more work on it. Probably be able to show you more later, providing that somebody replies after this post. 
Other things that I have done; I added snow. Level 5 in World 1 will have snow in it. You're going to love it, once I get around to physically implementing it! I did the graphics for it already. Also, coins now have 16 frames of animation, and the FlameStag stage land will have rock-terrain graphics, and its own stage animations! Also, now that I know how to successfully do bank swaps, I can copy my Introduction Sequence code from my homebrew ROM and and put it in Dark Mario. Once this is all done, I will try to figure out the Multi-Directional Fireball Throwing. I am proud to say that I have surpassed all of my lost SMB3 hacks, and I will see this project to the end! ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

I couldn't resist. Oh, and don't bother telling me about the errors. I know.

Posted by StufidI have a temporary title screen in place. It looks like shit, but I'll post a pic if you really want to see it. I'd rather show off the title screen when it is complete. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Yeah, all of that is going to be changed. This hack is making me exhausted. All of this work that is going into it is nuts. I don't think I'm ever hacking this game again after this.
I have a lot of ASM work ahead of me just to get this one level looking mint. I would really love to have this GameBoy FlameStag music in the actual game. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

We'll see what happens. Nothing is set in stone yet. This game is going through tons of changes. I can actually see what you are saying by the flipping being annoying. I wanted to try something different. If it doesn't work out, I can easily change it back. I think I mentioned this already, but once you get to World 3, you take control of Lieutenant Luigi. I'm taking a break from this though. This game really is too much work for one person to do on their own. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

I don't really like the sequels to this series. The original games, Blue, Red, Yellow, and the remakes, FireRed and LeafGreen, are the only ones I really like. The Pokémon were unique, cool, and original, and then with the sequels, it didn't really matter. They kept making these lame Pokémon creatures that I could care less about. They should really remake the original games in a 3D RPG, or even a 3D MMORPG. How sick would that be? I've been playing FireRed on occassion. It's a lot of fun to know that you have a rival who is competing with you. And to watch him change throughout the game, and evolve his own Pokémon. When these games first came out, laugh if you want, but the rival used to inspire me to work harder and catch more Pokémon and train them harder. Like when you get to the S.S. Anne, he tells you that he caught 40 kinds, meanwhile I only had 20. It gave you the feeling that you weren't where you should be at. Brilliant games, the originals. But these sequels, I'm not too crazy about. Anyone else feel the same way? ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

I wonder if they are putting Fatalities back in... Imagine Poison Ivy was in the game. Gee, I wonder what fatality she would have... ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the comments.
I don't really know what I'm going to do with the jumping yet. I was thinking about restoring the jump back to normal, but if you press up when you jump, you can do a flip. Does that sound better? I didn't do any hacking today, because I needed a break, but in the last hour, I finally got the World 1 map structure down. 
EDIT - I finally programmed the snow in. I still have to do a lot of graphics work, but at least I got the ASM part out of the way.

I just wanted to know, how that was done. I'm sure there must be a table somewhere that you have to edit. But I don't know where to find it. The reason I want to know is... 
I want to try something with my own tileset. More specifically, I want bigger rain clouds, and not be limited to what I have in the animation set. Now for some reason I think that if I did successfully changed it to the way I wanted, this would make SMB3 Workshop useless... If anybody sees DahrkDaiz, please direct him to this topic. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

What's screwed up about this, is that if you really wanted to fight against DC characters, just go play Armageddon, and create them in Kreate-a-Fighter, and there you go. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

That sounds like what it might be. I've been playing around with DahrkDaiz' TSA Editor, so I think you're right about that. Thanks. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

If you have a VROM page in your expanded CHR-ROM that has passed #$FF, how do you use it, if you can?
I have reached the limit in my hack, so I want to know if it can be done. In other words, how do I store a value if it is passed FF? The page I want is probably something like FF + 0A in my CHR space. So I have to add those two. I tried using ADC and AND, but those don't do anything. They just start counting from 0 after FF. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

I'm trying my best... I'll admit I'm not that great at graphics. But DahrkDaiz, I did get really far on this hack, I'm halfway done with World 2... If you have any tips on how to get better graphics, that would be cool. But over-glorify? Damn right. This hack is my baby, and I have the right to over-glorify it, just as you do with all of yours. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let you or anyone else discourage me. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

The original Dark Mario became a Time Attack hack (I think), which I let Googie have to finish. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |
