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.

Oh ok right. Thanks for the info

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.

DOUBLE POST!

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.

Nice!

I'm glad this is gonna get finished soon!

Also, You did it REALLY fast (I mean, you did an update like every 3 days)

Is this illigal?

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

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!

Nice job on the levels berkian! How many levels do you have left to make?

I'm pretty sure he said he was working on the last levels of World 8.

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.
