NO!!!! My Rom Data Is Gone! All Gone! Because I Put Too much IPS Patches On It! I Guess I'll Start From Scratch.  :sad:

squishy_ichigo

you didn't make any backups?  And what exactly is broken? Most of the time its fixable stuff, unless you really fucked something up.

I Don't Know What's Broken, SMILE Says it's A PAL Rom And Won't Work. So, I'm Gonna Start Later On

easy darling

just take a clean rom, go to the end an than, add 1 ore more byte. now try to open the rom!

that's the only thing, which makes you failing, opening the rom. just copy the leveldata somwhere, fix the ROM size to full Banks and expand it in smile. now copy the room back - you got it.

explenation: if a rom is not made of FULL banks (for example jus 1 byte to long) smile won't open it. but it should still work with an emulator. you just have to fix the size of the rom... easy, if you understand

Katelyn

I have my own question. Why did you apply so many IPS patches to your ROM? You really don't need that many.  :<_<:

I Didn't Know It Couldn't Hold That Many. I Put On 4 And I Wish I Could REWIND Back To When I Did It.

your problem is, you just pointed the leveldata out of the size of the rom. the rom ends at 2FFFFF, but your pointer was written at something like this: 2FF4A0

now, if you make a room bigger than about 1200 bytes, the rom is at it's limit,but smile will write the full roomdata - the rom now ends at something like 300FA0 - this isn't the end of a full bank.

you'll habe to write FF's in the hexeditor, until you reached the end of the next bank, that means, for example:
$30:7FFF

ore you'll delete all data after 2FFFFF, but the room would be destroyed


just write the FF's like i said (this is repairing the rom) and than expand the rom (Smile; Tools --> Expand Rom), until smile says, it already is at bank FF.

Short:

Repair and Expand the ROM

Ok, I'll Give you The Rom To Look At, This Is My last Hope Before I Start From Scratch, Then My Demo Will Be In September And My Release Will Be Later Dates, With Different Maps, Unless I Remember It.

Edit: Here's The Patch to Anybody Who Wants to Try to Fix It. And if not, Here's The Patch for Gunnar.

Phazar

Holy freespace Batman!  Looks like you expanded the ROM way beyond what you needed when you didn't even need more free space.  You'd need a way to revert the ROM to the original space limit.

How Do I Do That?

when did you start hacking? some of your knwledges are still beginner likely:

A Snes ROM ALWAYS has a limit to 4Mb! that means bank 80 - FF

i postet a rapeir ips, just patch it, it should remove all. you now just can contine your hacking, but remember: the IPS is headerless.

i removed all "bits and bytes" after 3FFFFF - the end off bank FF.


EDIT!!!!:

wrong, the patch doesn't remove the FF's, it just includes your hack, so you'll need to use a clean, but still headerless ROM. have fun and feel free to ask   :^_^:

Edit2:

from 000001 - 008140: you broke some things in this "section" copy all data 1:1 from another CLEAN rom, to repair it, ore your hack won't start, after you opend the emulator.

A question: how (And why) did you break the rom header? that's reason number 2, not to work in an emulator.

X-tradyte

THANK YOU GUNNAR!! It Works :D I Can Continue With My Rom :)

Smiley

Excellent work, Gunnar. :yay:
Just remember to take out that patch before someone steals it. It's never nice if someone steals your work.

DS:
Judging from the screenshots, this hack might become a good one.
I really love that "Western Sky Temple" shot. That room is awesome!

By the way, does this hack take place on Aether?
Sky Temple and Agon Wastes...

X-tradyte

Yes, it does actually. You'll get to see some of my hack in August, By then it will be half done.
