ROM Hacking Discussion / Solstice Randomizer (NES)
« on: June 08, 2020, 06:46:11 pm »
Hello All,
I have just published my first rom hack ever! I am very excited to bring you my first public version of the Solstice Randomizer.
https://pbandpickle.com/
The randomizer will mix up all collectible objects (with logic). It also supports custom seed and outputs a "spoiler" log if desired. The output is a simple IPS patch which you will want to apply to an unmodified US Solstice rom.
There are currently a few limitations involving Credits and Detonators but those will be cleared up eventually. I also have made a few minor edits to certain rooms to allow access to a greater area without the Magic Boots.
I would like to throw out a big thanks to Jp32 for his documentation (http://www.romhacking.net/documents/783/) as it gave me a huge jump-start to tackle a project like this.
Various randomization options will be implemented over the next couple weeks. I'll keep an updated feature / update log on at my website as they are added.
I hope someone gets some enjoyment of of it!

EDIT: Now featuring optional CREDIT and KEY randomization
EDIT2: Added optional object color correction. Adjusted title text
EDIT3: Added optional teleporter randomization
EDIT4: Added magic boot strength and starting room randomizer. Color correction is a bit broken currently
