karatorian I sent u the updated level data   I forgot to mention to see if you can implement the 6 tile lift hack (if not already implemented) in the next release.  one of my patches if not both have it implemented already

sweet   everything look pretty good so far  :crazy:

 [edit:  spoke too soon.. two level format bugs and also one thing that hasn't been too urgent but we should fix is in 4-3 the vine comes up at the bottom of the screen ]

also what do you thnk bout changing the clock timer?  I tried it out and if you walk from the start until you hit the first goomba the clock says 392 in SMBSpecial (at least on the x1) and in SMBS it says 394.  I adjusted the clock and got it to be about the same time


change 18 to 12

neither bug i've noticed (one at the end of 4-1 and one in 4-4 with the 'HUDSON' writing) will require extra objects.. hopefully i shouldn't have to add any more.  in some ways it's good to know we're not wasting much level data space hehe

here's the vine problem.. I'll look into it can't be too tough


and yeah i adjusted the clock times a while back

Just curious, how were the correct clock times figured out?  It was mentioned that each "second" or whatever you want to call it of the count down in SMBS is a different (are they faster or slower?) speed from SMB.  Was the timing/clockcycle subroutine in each game figured out, or was a stopwatch used while the time ran out?  The reason I ask is that we don't know how accurate the emulation really is and the code should really be looked at instead for complete accuracy.

In regards to the vines, it occured to me later that the hole was the likely cause. It shouldn't be too hard to simply not wrap around.

No time for hacking today, what with the holiday weekend and all. (Probably early next week.)

Yeah, game code would be more exact, but nobody seems to have much interest in diggin into the Z80 ASM. I definetly don't. (I've already derailed all my other ROM hacking project with the work I've put in on this so far. Not that I mind, bud disassmbling code for a mostly undocument (in English at least) Japanses computer without quality tools isn't something I'm interested in at the moment.)

That said, as I've mentioned before, if anyone is interested, I can provide some useful pointers on the format of the disk images, where the code, levels, graphics, text, etc. are for both the X1 and PC88 disk images. They're both z80 based so anyone who knows that CPU (GB hackers, I guess) wouldn't have to hard a time with some of it.

Furthermore, I don't much care for the z80 ISA. Call me weird.

Karatorian/frantik, how is progress on the ROM hack?  It's been more than a week since the last reply from either of you.  I hope everything's doing good with the progress so far.
