Sure! Just give me your credit card number in PM. I will send the money over to your bank account.

Probably to avoid letting the signal lines open to noise.

Meh, in a few days he will switch to another project. He always does it. For a while there was like one new project every week. Not that any of them ever got anywhere.

A primary/unique index on id-revision would prevent that entirely

No.

Some can be easily answered.


"Why does the background glitch out after certain types of crashes?"

The background is animated by HDMA. There's a table in memory holding the scroll offsets for each scanline, or something in the like. If a crash overwrites that, well, you guess how your background goes.


"Does the file order tell you anything about the data of files or the order they were put in the game?"

From what I could observe, the IDs follow the files' alphabetical ordering (as well as that of their parent folders). Could be wrong though.



"Explanations for mysterious areas in levels that mess up stuff, as reported by ray"

what?



"What pallete these use:
** obj\OBJ_O_redcoin_number_ncg.bin"

Should be pretty easy to find out with desmume's tools.



"Why certain course actors crash (e.g. Chain Chomp with the unused nybble set, special exit controller)"

I have a theory that the Chain Chomp nybble would cause the pole to be a half-block to the left or something (which would be fitting with how it's placed in its level). I don't quite get why that would cause a crash, though.

---

Speaking of unused level 3, the 'multiple BGs' mode it uses isn't well documented.


* the feature would allow selecting different BGs and tilesets per area
* multiple BG/tileset slots are possible-- the areas have 3 bytes for selecting which slots should be used
* in practice, the code for this feature is incomplete. Jyotyu palette switching is the only part that works properly.
* the background code is inconsistent-- if multiple BG slots exist, the game will read properties from different slots (and maybe ignore the area's BG settings, don't remember), resulting in a broken background
* the feature appears to have been planned for an older engine revision, where the VRAM layout was different (and the end castle tileset wasn't a thing)
* the small corrupted room in unused level 3 uses objects from tileset 2. Was supposed to be an underground tileset, presumably. In the final engine this is the end castle tileset. I don't really remember how the tileset ID mapped to the tileset slots, though.
* maybe it was supposed to load all the graphics at once? seems inefficient, but there was no (proper) code for reloading graphics between areas

.srl and .nds are the same type of file (cartridge dump), .srl is the 'official' extension used by Nintendo

there might be minor differences in the .srl depending on how the decryption was carried out (if done at all), I doubt Nintendo went through the trouble of implementing the encryption in their VC emulator

"vitesse cobaye" if you're a French speaker... or atleast that's what I hear.


(also I'd tell Tierage to stop inflating his postcount with crap but I'd be over one year late, so heh)

ahem


well that's Sharks, dunno about Freeze (considering his buddy ray isn't coming back, well)



nowadays, Super Mario Maker makes it easy and official, so deh

as far as NSMBDS is concerned, we already know how to do all the things your average joe would be willing to try: editing levels, maybe tilesets...

worldmaps require modelling skills (and using illegal tools)

music is a pain (and requires musical skill)

multiplayer hacking would be a complete and total pain, which is why that path is never travelled

ASM hacking requires skills in that domain, which are rare

you know, on the homepage


it'd make sense and be practical if clicking the thread's name led directly to the post that is referred to

rather than having it lead to the start of the thread, and having to click the nerdy 'post ID' link to actually get to the post

why put the link in a spoiler, and why call it the "NSMBHD skype chat" when you're in no position to represent NSMBHD?

he's still trying


those don't post or anything, so I'm not really sure what he's trying to do there, I guess he has some mental disability or something that prevents him from just leaving and moving on to something else


also, I tried PMing him again, but I guess the idiot doesn't know how to check his PMs
