ROM Hack New Metroid Bros.

[luckwii]

Make sure you name it New Metroid Bros.nds when you patch it.

I just tested again using only what I provided in the post. It is working for me. Remember this is a (U) rom. An (E) rom won't work.

Oh yeah, I kind of intended the path in the level to head down towards Kraid. But you can go straight through also. The level will not continue to 1-2 yet.

Wait, rename the original game to 'New Metroid Bros.nds'? Or make it the name of the new game xDelta will create?

The one xdelta will create. Not the original.

You could also name it "New Super Mario Bros.nds" and it would work. But I would recommend the new name to keep saves, etc. seperate.

...anyhow, how far have you gotten in the game? like, how many levels have you gotten through?

Tried both ways and I'm still getting an error. Did you use a trimmed rom?

 

[Spenstar]

Well, I guess I'm with the other people having the problem patching

xDelta returns: "xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT"

I even put the output file name to 'New Metroid Bros.nds'

That may be the case. I have had it so long that I probably did. If so, I use Tiny Trimmer to trim roms. I'll try and upload again tomorrow with a new clean rom.

Although, thinking about it now, I have used this same rom with all the other hacks here with now problems. If it helps, it is 23.4 MB.

Yep, it's trimmed. The original ROM is 32MB

D'oh. Alright I re-up the original download link with a clean rom.

 

[luckwii]

Changed patch for clean rom. Use the download link in the first post. Should work now.

 

[Spenstar]

Hmm

either my computer is messing with me or there is still a problem with the patch because I'm still getting the error.

 

[luckwii]

Spenstar got it working from the link on the first page.

Got more of level 1-1 finished today. The levels are going to be long. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have the first beta ready. The version I posted was just an idea, not the final level 1-1. I have to keep the world maps as they are. But each level is going to be like a small world. So when I am done, this game may be huge.

 

[luckwii]

I will hopefully have the first beta out on Monday. I have been working on the hack everyday. It is slow going, but as I complete levels I will be releasing the betas. It is not easy getting the Metroid graphics in without crashing the game.

I will release levels as I go. New revisions may have updates to earlier levels as well. The more Metroid I can put in the game, the more the levels can be changed.

 

[luckwii]

Made a new patch to show some changes. Still not calling it a beta as the level has some issues. I have to put together some more Metroid graphics, so for you Metroid hard cores, I know the end of the level is supposed to be gold colored. Like I was saying still a work in progress.

New Metroid Bros. BETA .036

 

[hullo8d]

I'm glad to hear that your making progress.

 

[Vigilante]

Well another mario hack

 

[luckwii]

I won't stop making progress either. This will be finished. It just takes a lot of time so it could be a while. But as I said, I will release as I go.

 

[luckwii]

Anyone else having troubles patching? I haven't heard any further issues, but I can't tell whats happening on your end.

 

[luckwii]

First beta is almost ready. Have a few bugs to work out, but the first two levels are built. The first beta will be about 20% of the original Metroid.I will get this ready for release and then continue more levels.

Gameplay is surprisingly good IMO. Most if not all of the Metroid hidden places and paths are included.
