Here some images of my first hack rom (im newbie"):





ALL images in beta version.

Ok now. I have a question for a specialist Wink, i search information in this webs and anothers sites and i cant find anything, my question is, anyone know how to eliminate the slide movement of rockman 3, i want to make the game more like rockman 1-2-9. The hex code.
Ok other question, how i can modify the robot masters pattern atacks in hex?, anyone knows a program to make this ?

Exist a emulator that can show the hex code of the game in playing gaming? thanks again

seriusly i cant find this information and i decided to make a topic.
Sorry for my english and thanks a lot!.

Yes, there are emulators that will show the hex code, but unless you know ASM it won't do much good.

Avoid Nesticle. It's very inaccurate and allows a whole bunch of bad behavior that will make your hack fail in most other emulators.

Nestopia(Though if you have a slow PC, it'd be a bad idea to use this one.) is good, FCEUX is nice too.

I know that it's your hack, you can do whatever you want, but why would you remove the slide? In my opinion it made the game much better, so I'm curious as to your rationale. Also, unless you plan on hacking the boss AI, you're going to make the game a lot harder because those bosses were designed with the slide in mind.

Just my two cents.

The simplest way? Castrate the controller input.

Find out how the NES reads the joypad; assuming it's a register, set a breakpoint to that register and trace through the code you find. It'll take some intuition, but along the way you should find some sort of test (likely a CMP instruction) to see whether down and A are being pressed at the same time: maybe the routine sets flags as to which buttons are pressed and later checks them, or maybe it just takes the raw joypad register; I dunno. But once you find the test, it will be followed by a conditional branch. If the conditional branch is set to branch if down and A are being pressed, you'll want to NOP it. If it's set to branch if down and A are not being pressed, you'll want to change it to a permanent branch (BRA) instruction.

From what I've seen, NES games will often poll the controller registers ($4016/4017) in the NMI routine, the copy the data to buffers in RAM, sometimes also using XORs to create "pressed" and "held" buffers.
Easiest way to find out is to open the Memory Viewer in FCEUX and push buttons and watch if some values (often games will often store this somewhere on zero-page since it's so common) change only in relation to button presses.

For the american version of the ROM, change $3d3b4 to $3d3b7 in the ROM to $EA. 

For the Japanese version, set $3d3b0 to $3d3b3 to $EA.

Whoa. Shocked

I'm wondering, did you already have this knowledge, or did you just decide to hack it for him?

Thanks to all  :thumbsup:, your help is awesome i finally remove the slide movement, i want to take experience game like rockman 1-2-9 thats all.
Well principally i have intention to publicate this hack because no are much rockman 3`s hacks rom, no are awesome than others hacks of rockman but i think is funny, basically mi hack contents:

-No slide movement, make the game like rockman 2 more harder but no much
-New levels edit and graphics
-New normal enemyes sprites
-Modify normal enemies weakness for weapons
-Modify boss sprites and color (a little but new robots masters)
-Modify boss weakness (another way to beat the game, no like the original)
-Diferent sprites for weapons (for example the snakes now are bubbles)
-Diferent music for the stages (but is the same music of rockman 3, i think this bgm is great and change the music is a lot hard)
-New sprites faces for the select bosses

And no more for now, only i need to modify a little the fight patterns of the boss, is dificult to find the hex for this, but ill try, all help is necesary please and thanks  :thumbsup:

Please be aware that you may only distribute your hack in form of an IPS patch on our boards and on the RHDN main page. It is against the rules to post links to rom image downloads.

Other than that, nice going Wink Hope you pull it thru and finish that hack!

cYa,

That doesn't mean he's Japanese. It just means English isn't his first language.

I'm like Kryptonite when it comes to those things. First D and NINJA, now byuu and UPS...it's like every time I decide to champion a new patch format, the guy behind it goes nuts and leaves. T_T;
