Kneel before the great & powerful chOZo

I got the tank... and it only took me about an hour of actually trying.

I am determined to 100% this.

Wow you came in at an much more of an angle than I did

hi,
requesting help to get this to run.
i've tried doing a softpatch (ips and smc with the same name in same directory) on zsnes 1.36 and 1.51 and it won't go past the "the last metroid is in captivity" screen. i've tried a hardpatch using lunar and that won't do anything at all. something i'm not thinking of?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your ROM is probably unheadered. A headered ROM will be 3073 KB; unheadered is 3072.

ok if that is the case how can i change it?

SMILE has a function to add/remove headers, or you could search for a headered ROM.

Finally did a 100% (including lore) run of the easy version. 5:07 This hack stays awesome no matter how many times you play it.

Yay! I finally got Varia Suit! Should I head back and explore more of Keruarn?

bushwacker

question: on the second suitless run through keruarn, are you supposed to do an HBJ in the very last hot room? that's what i did to get through but the whole time i was thinking "no way, this is just too ridiculous to be right" but it worked so...

also a minor criticism; i kind of don't like how there are no savepoints in the game (except the ship of course). i never really liked using savestates but without any savepoints (and so many deathtraps everywhere) there's really no other option. also makes it kind of hard to think about doing a speedrun since you couldn't save anywhere for segments

That's the consequence of DMantra using the save rooms as item rooms instead. =P

The save points would've destroyed the map any time you loaded from them though, even if he had inserted them. Thanks to fun SM quirks.

I'd say just use savestates sparingly like you would save points. If you do this, at least for me, there doesn't seem to be much difference. Although I wouldn't really want to play this game without save states handy (the normal ver anyway).

2008-08-05 03:16:49 am

oh, makes sense about save stations messing with the map.

question, are you supposed to fight ridley before draygon? because i sure did... (then i scored "the tank" after like 20 minutes)

Isn't this what the "Kejardon Map" patch does in smile 1.32? I remember Kejardon or someone saying that they would make a public patch to fix this issue.

Finally got "the tank", but I can't seem to exit the room it's in...

He couldn't use Kejmap because it would destroy his lore. And according to ahem, some people, Kejmap still has a few problems to work out.

Ehhhh...I already applied it to my hack though aiwebs_016

So are your save pts working perfectly as far as when you load, it shows the exact same map coverage as before you saved? If so then nothing really to worry about. Rakki was just having some issues with that even after Kejmap was applied.

sometimes the map grays out rooms that i've already been to... sounds like the map is just a bitch in general.
but im still curious if i sequence broke by beating ridley before draygon

Oh, wow, now I figured it out; I hadn't fought ridley yet... You really should lock the doors in the ridley fight room because I left before he even appeared and it was a bitch to get back there.

EDIT: Got to golden torizo. Does anything hurt him other than supers? Cause I've hurt him enough that he doesn't shoot the fake item boxes so I can get them back once I run out.

Ridley is before Draygon in Cliffhanger.

You can't obtain high jump until after Ridley. (High Jump is a luxury in Cliffhanger :P)

daaaang son, then the intended way was just brutal. i remember doing some really fast mid-air morphed ibjs off some frozen weird flying turtles things and i assumed you were supposed to just have high jump, ha. this hack is just ridiculous

This is utterly ridiculous. I'm at LN after Varia (should I have gone back to the spike shaft in Higher Norfair?) Got a state instantly after getting it.
