It wasn't easy, but I managed to beat this hack of Fire 'N Ice (best puzzle game for the NES). There were some cool ideas in there, but man... some of those boss levels were fucking bullshit. Precise timing like that has no place in an otherwise laid-back puzzle game.

Hardest level in the game, by the way. I swear it took me over three hours to figure it out.

I don't know which Tecmo Bowl hack you are talking about since I couldn't find one that was broken, but the problem with the Deadpool Ninja Gaiden hack is that the author configured the header incorrectly. In Mesen, go to "Debug --> NES Header Editor" and set "Save RAM" to 8 KB. Alternatively, in a hex editor, replace the first 16 bytes of the ROM
>4E 45 53 1A 20 20 42 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01
with the following 10 bytes:
>4E 45 53 1A 20 20 42 08 00 00 70 00 00 00 00 01
The emulator the ROM with the broken header works in fails to check if the mapper configuration uses SRAM. It incorrectly assumes it does, which causes the game to work. The behavior in Mesen is what is supposed to happen, and it reflects what happens when I tested the ROM on original hardware via a flashcart.

Just saying, but is weird that they've done a Super Metroid decompilation and yet no one talks about it.

I expected more, really wanted to see some cool mods for it, but there is nothing afaik.

To anyone interested: Sonic Retro user Clownacy updated his Genesis emulator, clownmdemu, some weeks ago to support a configureable widescreen option.
It's also worth mentioning that clownmdemu is available to play in a web browser. So if you're looking for a web emulator that also supports widescreen, there you go.

What would everyone be interested in seeing in terms of a SM hack? I have a few ideas and want to start dabbling in. Currently playing through a few hacks simultaneously (VITALITY, Ascent, Ancient Chozo, Junkoid) and there's definitely varying degrees of minimum skill level required. I want to make something that is accessible and fun, yet rewards the advanced / autistic speed runners.
Any suggestions?
>>
>>12363562
Yeah, that would be great to do. Speaking of this, how otherworldly would it be to fuse Super Metroid and Earthbound? I think it would be possible, but the important distinction would be in deciding what elements to keep from each, which engine to use, battle mechanics, etc.

A lot of hacks popular with speedrunners are popular with normal players too because they like much of the same things. Interesting places to explore, freedom of movement, cool setpieces, new toys to play with, sections tricky at first but simple with practice (that don't kill you before you get the chance), etc. If your hack is well designed for regular players, speedrunners will probably like it too.
Other than that, the usual method of combining the two styles is pretty simple. Have a clear but winding road through the entire game and hidden shortcuts that require speedrunner bullshit. Just make sure to leave escape hatches for intermediate players. If I can sneak into an area with precise wall/bomb jumps I better not have to do pro speedrunner bullshit to get out. Give me consolation missiles and send me on my way
>>
>>12363636
I should add that X-Fusion is a great example of what not to do. It tries to have epic speedrunner difficulty sections but there's videos of the #1 guy on the Super Metroid leaderboard playing it. Like everyone else he dies to random bullshit and looks utterly bewildered and disappointed
