I didn't get a kick out of it, hence a warning has been issued, as I said, please do not make such useless post, it is very annoying.

You're welcome. It's been stagnant for entirely too long and so close to presentable too. Oh well, it's out now. Hopefully we don't run into anymore major bugs. (The vines being completely borked was embarassing.)
Re Next Gen Cowboy: I should probably keep my mouth shut, but I ain't like that, so ... fratik's post was actually on-topic (if a little vapid) and appreciated (by me if not you). On the other tentacle, you've done nothing but derail the thread.

I am not in the mood of catering to your ego, post like that are against the rules, if you have a problem pm me with it, if you cannot follow the rules then warnings will be issued, what is so difficult to figure out about that? Enough of this all together, you have problems contact me with them, if you don't let it go.

More vine glitchiness.
The vine in 2-1 works now. For some reason after climbing it, going through the coin area, and finishing the level, the victory music glitched. It played for about one second and then returned to the basic level theme. I'm not 100% sure this is related to the vines, I haven't had a chance to retest that level yet.
Also, climbed a vine in 4-3 and could not escape the area. I don't know if there's something I'm missing, but the pipe does not function. All I could do was wait for the time to run out.
Edit: Two of 7-4's pipes lead you to a small area that you only barely have enough room to escape from. If you head slightly to the right as you get out of the pipe, the screen will scroll to that direction and leave you unable to do anything but wait for death. Yes, I know you have to be dumb to do this.
I've cleared the game now and haven't found any other issues.

Really? Wow, then Hudson sure are assholes. It's like that in the original. I'd argue that is a a bug, but it's one we've decided to be bug-for-bug compatable with. Theres some discussion of that a while back in the thread. We decided to leave it like that even though it's obnoxious and against the spirit of SMB, because it's the what the project is about. At first it was suspected to be disk corruption (we've had to work around some in the only dump of SMBS we've been able to find), but after investigation, it appears not to have been. (I wonder if the Sharp X1 version is like that too. I never checked.) I should probably mention it in the readme. As for the music glitches, I'm not sure what's up with that. I don't think it's vine related. If anything, it may have to do with going to the coin heaven, but I don't think the means of entry would effect that. (Honestly, I do most of my testing with sound disabled to speed up the emulation. I guess I'll have to stop doing that.) I'll go check out the level 7-4 thing. It's probably a matter of poorly placed scroll stops or something.

Wow, what a strange coincidence. I haven't checked this thread in months, since I used to check it at work and got laid off in November. I go to check it today and there's a post from Karatorian only hours old. Great job, dude! I hope we get to see a 2.0 version someday. :-)

About that 4-3 vine...I got there on my last life and couldn't get out, so I got the coins in the room and ran the timer down, on my last life...
with 99 coins.
Argh.
I did beat the hack later though.

Yes, I know you have to be dumb to do this. did u try going back in the pipe? I'm well aware that's the proper thing to do, I have beaten the hack after all. Anyway, you have to be pretty dumb to accomplish it, but you can go to the right, then go to the left, and have no way back in because of the invisible block. That was my point, that you can trap yourself by being foolish.

oh I see.. u can trap yourself outside of the pipe room
hmm.. that little part is my creation in an attempt to stay with the spirit of the game since in the original map the pipe is up higher (but you can't do that in the NES version)
i'll mod it so you can't walk to the left i suppose

Darn! I want to play this game, but I don't have a tool that can open TAR files. Does anybody know a good program that allows me to open one?
