Yeah there's a SMB hack I wanna play from a Japanese ROM hacking site, which I did a Google translation for you guys here.

Anyways, when I patch my SMB ROM (I have PRG 0 and I tried PRG 1) the hack doesn't start. I have the hack here for a little while. Can someone please tell me what's wrong? Maybe there's something in the readme that'll be helpful, I dunno. If anyone can translate the readme for me that'll be cool, I would really appreciate it. And I tried different emulators too, but no dice, I'm sorry if I sound n00bish. ;_;

Thanks fellas for looking at my thread.

The readme seems to suggest that you need a 256 KB rom, but Super Mario Bros is only 40 KB. I think that these are the instructions on how to expand the rom.

◇実際の作業


１、まずはオリジナルのトレーナーなし、マッパー０
のROMイメージを用意してください。
尚、オリジナルのSMB1のデータは以下のように表記し
ておきます。

[ヘッダ][00010-0200F][02010-0800F][08010-0A00F]


２、それを任意のバイナリエディタで開き、新規ファ
イルにて以下のようにデータを並べてください。

[ヘッダ][00010-0200F][02010-0800F][00010-0200F]x12[08010-0A00F]x16
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣

ヘッダを変える必要はありません。
以上のファイルを保存し、データサイズが256KByteに
なっていることを確認してください。


３、WinIPS（確認済みIPSツール）などを使い、
sme2_090.ipsを作成したROMイメージに当ててください。

以上で、SME2試験版のROMイメージの生成は完了です。
お疲れ様でした。

Of course I don't understand it.

Here is part of the readme file translated by Google and made sensible by me: Wink

Quote
Use the ROM image “Super Mario Brothers” of PRG 128KB and CHR 128KB for a total of 256KB.

1. It is not the original trainer, so please prepare the ROM image of [matsupa] 0. Inscribe the data of the original SMB1 like so:

[The header] [00010-0200F] [02010-0800F] [08010-0A00F]

2. Open a new file with a hex editor and arrange the data like so:

[The header] [00010-0200F] [02010-0800F] [00010-0200F] x12 [08010-0A00F]

It is not necessary to change the x16 header. Save the above file and verify that the data size is 256KB.

3. Use WinIPS to apply sme2_090.ips to the ROM image. After this, the formation of the ROM image of SME2 test edition is complete.

Hope this helps!

I think #1 means to use a mapper 0 ROM without a trainer.
(basically start with a ROM that hasn't been hacked already)

That's just the old naming scheme. Cowering changed it to PRG0 and PRG1 to be more acurate or something. (it's what's writen on the chips I think).

whether it is or isn't some isp's work with one but not the other, so it's more than just a name change, so it's worth a shot.

Looks like I messed up a little bit, here is how you should arrange the file:

Quote
[00000-0800F] [00010-0200F] x12 [08010-0A00F] x16

Also, the ROM needs to have a header, but I think you can just add a blank one and the patch will fix it.

Edit: I got it working doing just what I said above, and the hack actually looks really nice! You play as Yoshi and they've even changed all the music to Yoshi-ish music!
