to boldly go where no snes gamer has gone before

[rvers]

gday fellas , my name is ben .H, no im not the legent "Heck" himself, im just a simple teenager,a bonafide aussie, mostly like the rest of you,just with the Heath Ledger accent. i assume(*gulP), now, like all no hopers, i have a dream, and a vision..for about a year now, ive been fooling around with game maker, and struggling with a 56k modem only a couple of times a year, found no satisfaction with the free software available on the net, is there anyone out there, whith skill and the same problem, who would like to exchange knowledge about snes? i want to know everything, i want to make snes games, i want to hack, not crack, and i want some dedicated gamers to help me out, and if you want aid me in my quest to master the snes...come on guys and gals, if you got skills with GIF files or animation, or maybe you have a thing for compression, hardware or sound, do something about it....
im very passionate about roms and the hardware inside the console, i was hoping that someone might be able to push me into the direction of someone who know hows to edit,create or develope snes roms or any other homebrew games, and im open to anything, i love atari, sega dreamcast, xbox etc......oh, except sony.. they stole snes's franchise, but ah well, what is nintendo doing about it huh???? huh???? savvy bastards....

....and struggling with a 56k modem....

I feel your pain.

This really isn't the site to look for rom coding. We're more into the hardware hacking if you didn't notice

[Foxx373]

if you simply google SNES Homebrew or SNES Dev, you will find lots of info.

I take it you like Star Trek.

I'm sorry but you couldn't make less sense if you tried.

If you want to hack commercial games, tough excrement, we don't do that. In fact discussing commercial game dumps is against the forum rules (which I suggest you read) and there are consequences.

If you want to do 100% homebrew, again tough excrement. In order to code games for consoles, you have to write in assembley language, the grunts and groans of the CPU. You can't just type BASIC, like this:

Code: Select all

10 print "MY GAME R the ROXZ0RZ!!!1111"
20 print "By whatzitzname"
30 tell Mario "walk left"

You need to use 6502 assembly, as seen here, which I doubt anyone here is fluent in.

What I suggest you do is:

1. Read the rules again
2. Post in English like a human being
3. Read the rules a third time
4. Use Google to gather information

Seriously.

[elixirnova]

Not to uh provoke this bad post but I am knowlegable in 65816 ASM mostly 6502 though but yea... *gulp*

[Metroid fan]

He said he doubted he was proved wrong why gulp? Thr world won't end if you prove a mod wrong...

[nos_slived]

If you're going to try creating console games, I suggest you start with something like an NES, because 8-bit assembly is easier than 16-bit.

thank you for those who understand my pain, and as for the fact fiends, sorry you couldnt understand me, australian is very different to english, you american's say potato, we say tomato.and i didnt know that ppl like you would viset a site like this...*shukx, one just cant escape the fact fiends..one day i will have enough knowledge to blast all you fact fiends into oblivion.

You'll have three options on how to open the case. Use a screw driver (the real thing or a modifided one), use a grider (Ben's technque), and the old melted ballpoint pen trick. Now the screws can be found online (ebay), the process of grinding is shown in Ben's SNES making of story and the book, and the melted ballpoint pen (forum search).

After you get the case off its up to you how to process in making it portable.

Here is another method that I will dub the Marshallh method because I think he pioneered it just read this thing and you will see how it works http://gamesoft.dyndns.org/64p/index.asp And here is a link to my short SNES-how-to guide that has a list of parts and links for stores to buy them http://portablesofdoom.org/snes.php The pics are of a SNES mini but a regular SNES or Super Famicom are pretty much the same just bigger. Hope that helps.

I agree! Star Wars is AWESOME!!!!!I saw Revenge of the Sith on opening day!While dressed up as a Jedi!It was great!

The only one who said that you didn't make sense was Bic, and that had nothing to do with you being Australian. He said that because you didn't use any capitals, and very little proper grammer. Please, if you're going to post, don't treat the forum like it's AIM, type like you'd write a cover letter or letter to a grandparent.

how is austrailian different from english (other than the fact there is no such thing as "austrialian" language), people in austrailia (not all tourists mind you) speak english or austrailian english, which is basically the same as england english but with some different turns of phrase and stuff. thats no excuse for bad typing, i speak fluent iowan

[soundwave]

I speak a pretty good Connecticut. (My dad said Connecticut people speak the best English in the US, ghetto-ebonics kids and out-of-state people exempt.)
