[SM] Hex map always begins at Crateria

[dewhi100]

When reloading a save, the hex map highlights Crateria regardless of the area Samus is reloading in. The map screen following shows the correct area, and going back out to the hex map from the area map will show the correct area highlighted. What's going on?

Did you used an unused load station from your area ?
Try using load 00 from your area

Sorry, I don't quite get your meaning. All the save rooms I've used are pre-existing save rooms in their respective zones.

 :lol:

$0950 is area selected on hex map.
The routine is bank $81.

May be a symptom of hex map replacement if using a patch.
Maybe a hijack in the load game state will fix.

This will grey out all the areas. If you back out it'll still show what area you're in.
It's a little bit better than crateria every time.

I lied this is worse. I'm in wrecked ship & it thinks I'm in brinstar.

Okay this one is working. You can still back out. It does look better though.

I put this into an ASM and patched using SMILE with xkas. It corrupted my ROM.

[PHOSPHOTiDYL]

Vanilla rom.
Unheadered rom.
My rom base with literally all the code that's been posted here.

Please tell me you put LoROM at the top of it.

Please, please, please tell me there's a LoROM at the top of that asm.

[dewhi100]

...Oops. It patched with no problems. Crateria is still lit, although the name is grayed.

[PHOSPHOTiDYL]

It's the best I could do...

Fair enough, thanks for all your help. You've posted on nearly every question I've asked, offering great solutions each time. Much obliged.
