ROM Hack Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 DX

[Hardback247]

Has anyone started creating a DX color hack of the first Wario Land game in the same vein as the color hacks of Super Mario Land 1 and 2?

There is a snes rom hack of the full game. But the actual GB rom has not had the dx treatment yet sadly.

No. Toruzz (DX1 and DX2) barely has any free time and his current project (for a few years already) is Kaeru no Tame ni Kane Wa Naru DX, basically the game where Link's Awakening came from.

Well, THAT stinks.

Technically that is not true both games have similar game engines and were being developed at the same time with only 7 months between the relese of each game. Links Awakening was held back deliberately.

I don't know if THIS is the right place to ask this question, but has anyone tried to turn Virtual Boy Wario Land into a 3DS ROM capable of retaining the 3D effects from the original game? I'd also like it in black and white, because it's better on the eyes.

Kaeru looks like the base game for Link's Awakening. It has the same style, platforming sections and elements from the UI. But it lacks battle-system (beyond the life of the characters) and other features.

It could be coincidence but it certainly looks like a prior development.

Both games entered development at round about the same time which was late 1990. They share a similar game engine which probably started out a a joint engine for both games then each development team then modified to their needs. But as both games entered development at the same time its wrong to say one was based on the other.

For the virtual boy warrior land there is not one for the 3DS but you can put retro arc onto your Wii U to play virtual boy games as well as pick colour ( black red / black White / black yellow)
As well as setting up 3D for Stereo scopic red blue 3D glasses

Im pretty sure he said the opposite, that he actually gave up on For the Frog the bell tolls! he said that himself in more than 1 comment, and instead worked on the Mario games. I am very sure that Wario Land (SML3) is in his works

I think he said that in his twitter. Not sure since this happened 1 year ago.

What is his Twitter?

I too hope this happens at some point. SML 1&2 DX are really beautiful!

This just came out;:

I finished it the other day.



It is a fine attempt, but not nearly as good as toruzz colorization projects. I think it is the first hack of korxo, so not bad at all.

Yeah, saw it but it still has some bugs and crashes here and there. Still it already looks beautiful. Hope this matures.

I finished this 100% the other day and thought it was really good. The grass color of the overworld was an eyesore but other than that I thought most of the color choices were optimal. Seeing the negative reviews on romhacking is infuriating. Someone finally stepped up and colorized it but half the reviews are ungrateful plebs.

I played it on mgba for 3DS and didn't run into any issues except for a save state glitching out once during the Sherbert boss. (Don't know if that was just an mgba issue or not)

Btw v1.11 has been released in july, fixing a few issues and color palette desires: https://www.romhacking.net/?page=news&newssearch=1&project=/hacks/6683/

Btw according to his Twitter, the DX hack for this lovely game is about to arrive within this year:

So I guess this is the right topic? My cousin showed me this and downloaded it from the mentioned site here but it's in .ips format. What does that exactly mean and now to run it?

-edit-
It seems to be not available for mobile, is that correct?
