hate o triple post,but fixed some fatal glitches in this release.
OMG FLAN!!!!!!!
You can simply modify your post if there's anything you want to add/change. It won't bump the topic, but it will show up as NEW to everyone else, so it does the job anyway.

Also, the mods will tend to chase you down with ray guns for triple posting.

"How come I never get the sniper rifle?"
Um, it gave me an IPS file.  Eh?  How do I open it? Am I supposed to apply it to an emulator, or what?

BTW, the screenshots look great! I can't wait to try it!

You need to search for the Super Metroid (JU) [!] ROM.

Then either:

Download Lunar IPS and use it to apply the patch to the ROM, and then open it in the emulator, or...
Rename the ROM and the IPS to the same thing (Super Metroid.smc and Super Metroid.ips for example), place them in a folder together, and then open the ROM in the emulator.  The emulator will automatically run the game with the patch applied.

this may be in the help topic,but here i'll explain: an IPS is data that has been modified in a file,you aptch it to another file to change the other files data,in this case changing super metroid into metroid ceribris.

STEP1:
download this : http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/download/lips101.zip

step2:
In luner IPS press the "apply IPS patch" button.A window will open letting you pick the patch file ( the .IPS file you downloaded here )

step3:
now click "ok/confirm/whatever you press to say yes" button to continue,now anther select screen will open,pick the file you wish to patch,in this case A COPY!!! of your super metroid rom.

step4:
your done!Now go on at pray you can survive cerbris!!! laugh new laugh new laugh new

I played version 2 or 3 (Dunno exactly), and the path you took was very interesting. I would suggest spicing up the rooms a bit, but since this is in early stages, there's really no point saying it. XD

That said, I probably won't play the next version, at least until it's finished. IMO, posting every update as an IPS in a work in progress hack is a bad idea.
For one, everyone will hae already played most of the hack when it is finished, and won't want to play it anymore.
Second, if you wish for help with testing on a WIP hack, find a beta tester. Then you can send your patch to them as often as you like (but remember, a lot of people are also working on other things). There's really no point of giving the hack out to everyone unless it's a demo, and you wouldn't post update IPS's for a demo.

Another thing, there's no need to post screenshots of every room you make, but that's entirely personal preference. Just my opinion. I've tried to keep a lot about my hack secret to most people XD, as it makes it more fun and interesting when the hack is finally released.

I do have to agree with Bloodsonic though, you are one of the best users of the Tourian tileset I've seen grin new.

I'm waiting for all those percents to reach 100 before I try this out.  Looks like it's worth waiting a little bit more.
"How come I never get the sniper rifle?"
Alright, thanks for the help, I was able to apply the patch!  Mr. Green

Unfortunately, the game is now broken.  Eh?  After displaying the Nintendo logo, it just stops. Good thing I applied the patch to a copy of the ROM and not the original. Do I need to delete the save files first? Or maybe was it supposed to do that, and I need to push a button to make the game start?

Bear with me please, I'm new at this.  Wink
Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
You most probably patched it to the wrong version of the ROM.  It needs to be the Super Metroid (JU) [!] version.  You'll also need to check the ROM's size.  If it is 3,073, then it is headered, and if it's 3,072, then it's unheadered.  This patch will only normally work with one or the other. (The thread doesn't say which)

Check its size, and load it in SMILE.  Click on Tools > Header , and add / remove as necessary.  Then patch it again.  One of them should work.
"How come I never get the sniper rifle?"
Thanks for the additional help! Turns out I was using the (E) version, not (JU). However, that brings up a second problem: I can't find a download for it anywhere that isn't blocked by my firewall and that isn't a torrent. I tried to download via a torrent, but BitTorrent showed the remaining download time going up by an hour per second. I hate to keep being the helpless noob around here, but do you know of a place where I can download it?

EDIT: Whoops! Forgot I'm not allowed to request that!  d'oh!  Never mind, I'll keep looking...

The game crashes on this room in Brinstar.

What'd you say?
How long would you say this is from being done? I don't want to try it till it's out.
