Wouldn't it be technically legal since nintendo doesn't even sell smw anymore? I mean it's not like they'll lose money from you playing old roms.

You'd think that would be true, but sadly... if it's not in the public domain, it's illegal to download for free. But like Pseudo said though, it's unlikely you'll get in trouble for doing it, especially if the games are old. I mean I wouldn't download a ROM of a DS game if I didn't have a physical copy.

ROMs are illegal, you need make an IPS or BPS to create your hack.

Here's the tool is: http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11474

It has tutorial on IPS/BPS, Read the tutorial above.

Untrue Nintendo still sells smw just as a port on the wii u and 3ds.

You still need the original SMW ROM to play/create smw hacks.

Are you using stuff like Addmusic or Romi's sprite tool to add stuff or using ExGfx? It seems that you are on a steady start, but that translucent cave imho doesn't look good. Some custom graphics would really compliment this hack. I mean you already have the custom HUD.

I've completed the final room of Bowser's Challenge, added new palettes and new HDMA.

Here are the screenshots:

Mechakoopas and Ninji are very dangerous is able to pick up Yoshi!

Important news:

World 7 already completed and will work the world 8 will be soon. New levels of the world 8 will be soon!

That's all.

DOUBLE POST!

Huge update:

I already fixed the level of the background (1BD and 10E), but now it's better.

I have started working the world 8! Let's work!

Now, here are the screenshots!

New palettes are fantastic, the introduction of the blocks with spin jump is to break blocks. The Charging Chucks and Koopa Troopas is coming up! Much insane difficulty!

More levels coming soon! That's all!

Those screenshots look too bright, try making it darker.

Yeah, I don't think that castles should have that much lighting inside of them.

Important news:

The hack is almost done, still missing 11 levels to complete the hack. I announcing the beta tester will soon be at the early February.

I wait for more updates. Please warm and welcome your hack!

EDIT: Fixed.

I have completed two levels, but now it has improved the level of design.

Pink Underwater

Starlight Space

New palettes and new HDMA are cool. The level 8-3 was very difficult.

Give feedback and comments.

Is this illigal?

romhacking isn't illegal. playing the original rom without owning the original copy, that's not allowed

Postby **Ethereality** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 5:09 pm

Another update!

Another level already completed, I have added more sprites and more blocks leaving the decorated level.

Demon Mushroom Star

Chains with 3 platforms how the player jumping. The Bullet Bills risking my life left Yoshi afraid of courage?

That's all!

There, fixed!

This looks AMAZING!!! I am surprised that someone had the energy to create a full hack like this (and get so close to completion)! I will definitely support this!

Also, your level designs look pretty good, so I am happy that this will be an actually enjoyable rom hack.
