I was watching the tutorial made by Metroid MST on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=181YYIuU2UE&list=PLtl4l889h2MjzLOt-1zlfcFehwQ79DEol&index=7

and was able to follow along until he applied the asm file as a patch to his rom. I use SnesStuff WITH xkas and when i attempted to apply the asm patch, i get an error message that gives me the same pointer address that he gets ( which is good ) but the usual "patch successful" message does not appear and the patch does not seem to be applied. I have confirmed this because when i put in the pointer into the unknown/var room pointer as instructed, nothing happens.

Any workaround? I cannot use XKAS because i am a normie

he apply it with a bat file which everyone should do, because typing it all the time is annoying.
Normally you open cmd go to xkas and type the command.

But instead create a txt (text document), rename it to a .bat file and write :

xkas thenameofyourASM.asm thenameofyourROM.smc
@pause

put it with xkas the ROM and the asm file and execute that .bat file

Now that somebody mentions it in the forums: I have a problem with that.
When I execute the as.bat file, I get the following in my cmd.exe:

C:\Users\User\Documents\Rom Hacking\Xkas)as.bat                              #Me executing the file
C:\Users\User\Documents\Rom Hacking\Xkas)xkas Super Metroid (JU) [!] [UN].asm Super Metroid (JU) [!] [UN].smc
xkas v0.06 ~byuu
usage: xas file.asm (file.smc)

Now why won't it patch my rom?

Your filenames have spaces in them, so you have to put them inside quotes. So instead of writing
Super Metroid.smc
you have to write
"Super Metroid.smc"

Thank you very much!
