Your new patch isn't working for me...


Agh, that's annoying. Why does Xdelta do that? I'm not sure if I can figure out how to fix that, I might run it through Xdelta one more time and try some other methods.

- the custom track doesn't loop (that's not good, because I don't like playing a silent level)


I'm not sure how to do that. most of these tracks are direct rips from the source material using VGMTrams I export the soundbank, wave and sequence and import then using NitroStudio. For level 1-1 I actally edited the instruments in it's midi form using Aria Maestosa (as that is the only midi editor I can navigate myself around) to something I thought fit the song and the game so that way all I would have to do is import the midi and have NitroStudio use midi2sseq for me to add it in. I don't think any of the custom tracks loop, which confuses me as since I export the song directly from the source shouldn't the loop bit in the song (whatever it is called, I know what it is i just doi't know the name) export with the files too? Or is that in a separate part of the code? If so, how do I edit it and what do I edit?

- second star coin can be reached without trampoline

Really? That's any easy fix. Unless I forget I can fix that in the next build.

- the whomps can block the shooting pipe which can be very annoying


I fixed that in the new update by removing one of them because of the glitchy behaviour and blocking off the hole the shooting pipe takes you through to fix it.

Please note that:

I don't have much time left today and due to camps and school which will start soon development may begin to slow. This is on my priority list though. I will make a few more xdelta patches trying different methods and different patchers today. Hang on... If it's not in the original post it is because I am still doing it.

And yes, I do ramble on a lot. Even in real life. Sorry about all that reading!

The way I export NSMBYA NSMBe patches:

The way the .nmp patch is made is a bit of a risky one.

I would do everything in the NSMBe like usual, but once it starts actually patching it does this. Here's the log:


Note that that extra line after the "Finished!" line was very intentional as that is what it does in the actual window too.

And that's it. It just hangs there. The "Exporting patch..." window stays open. The progress bar is a few pixels off being fully filed, I can close the "Exporting patch..." window and the patch is there. I did that with Patch 4 and it was all good and I had done the same thing with Patch 5. But, idk what patch you where using, there's a problem with one of them. That's why now I'll tell you how I do the...

How I export the Xdelta patch
Right. This is the part I think is incredibly sketchy.

So I had been having a lot of trouble trying to get a actual file out of "deltapatcher_v2.0.1_win32_bin" from romhacking.net but I was having problems. So I redownloaded it and it kinda worked. Then, when I tested the file after reported problems, I couldn't get anything to work. But then I saw Arceus's post and thought that it worked fine. Clearly there is something wrong with the Xdelta patcher and I'm not 100% sure it's trustworthy. I use it normally, I don't do anything weird, I don't understand why it doesn't work the way it should! It's really annoying, but that's just not knowing most of what you are doing while ROM Hacking for you! I wish I could just upload the ROM itself, but I put time and care into these hacks and I know I would get banned or somehing for doing so.

Not possible. Hammer Bros are weird in the way they decide what they can and can't jump through.


Hammer Bros are dumb gods that can defy all logic in the dumbest ways possible. But I guess this game wasn’t made to be hacked, there is bound to be some flaws when trying to do things in unintended ways.
