Almost happy

Pictures two and three are the same.

Picture one is pretty much DO YOU LIKE PAIN! (I do).

Yeah, I think the Golden Torizo battle should be kinda fun. When I beat him in my play through I had 100% current items and I lost like 5-6 e-tanks.

I removed picture 3, they were supposed to be different but I accidentally wrote over one of them with paint, oh well... Rolling Eyes

OMFG!!! I'M PISSED!!! I was experimenting with scrolling PLMs on my hack and I need a new scroll value, I hadn't been writing any down but I knew I hadn't used "FFFF" and "FFFE". I used those two scrolling values and now my rom doesn't work, room testing function on SMILE freezes whenever I enter a room and when I try just playing the rom the same thing happens. does anyone have any solution on how to fix this? I will be forever in your debt if anyone can help me.

Please, I believe I just wasted three months of my life with this stupid mistake... Crying or Very sad

Here is an IPS patch for the rom, headered....

Anyone who downloaded the patch, please delete it, it is currently unfinished and I realized now it was a stupid idea to put it up. Don't worry the finished hack will be out by the end of the month (hopefully) so please be patient.

If I had I would probably take out all the palettes and pay my step bro to copy every room screen by screen.

I may be done editing either today or tomorrow, then I'll beta test it twice. I have an odd feeling that there will be a major glitch or something. Brick wall

That's pretty much whats been slwoing me down, glitch after glitch.

Expect this soon!

Glad to hear from you. I sent you the fix for that one problem and then you disappeared for a month... I thought you disappeared permanently.

Went on vacation to Arizona for a while. I really appreciate what your did before but if I come across any more glitches could I come to you for help again?

Alright, I have come across another glitch, but thankfully I'm in the beta testing stage, all edit is done except for placing some items.

The glitch is: I load up the rom, I select my file, I see the map, but after that the screen just goes black. I am using Snes9x 1.43-improvement 15.3. If anyone could help out I would greatly appreciate it.

I've had this happen before too. Every time it's happened to me where you can get to the map but no further, it's always been something changed in bank $80. What I'd try first is this:

1. Copy and make a backup of your ROM.
2. Open your ROM and a clean one in a hex editor.
3. Copy the first 8000 bytes from the clean ROM into your hack.
4. Save and test the ROM (Make sure the old LIPS file is not around to soft patch the problem back over when you test with the emulator.)

That's the first 1f40 right? I tried that and it just goes to a dark green screen, no nintendo logo.

All things considered, I shouldn't be awake. x.x

Dude, this thrills me. I really like your level design. And this comes out soon? I'm still trying to get through Eris (fffffreaaaaaking hell I suck at using keyboards XD) but I'll certainly give this a try.

8000 is 1 more than 7FFF >_> I should've explained that better. I wanted you to copy the first whole bank over, as usually that crash is caused by SMILE doing something to stuff in the first bank. Make sure you didn't copy from a headered clean into an unheadered ROM, or from unheadered into headered without accounting for the difference as well.

Edit: also make sure when you paste, that it overwrites instead of inserts. Inserting would be very bad.

I tried it and had no luck. Brick wall

Seems like this hack hates me or something. Any other ideas?
