QuoteHey Retro if you need any help with your hack I would love to help!

Actually, do you have any knowledge of combo/column editing in Zelda 1?

The3Dude · April 10, 2018, 06:24:39 PM

Maybe this can help, http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=19946.0 ...... Dude when I made my Link's Shadow hack it took me forever trying to figure it out I ended up leaving the combos the same.

But yeah the Combos start at this address in the rom (15BD8)

RetroNuva10 · April 10, 2018, 06:57:52 PM

Yeah, I've read that post. However, I still haven't been able to figure it out. Granted, I haven't spend that much time on it. I'm gonna continue looking into it.

The3Dude · April 10, 2018, 07:17:59 PM

Tell me what combo you'd like to change I can try to find it in hex then tell u what to edit.

Do you know how the formatting of each column works? The post that you referenced doesn't make sense to me for some reason.

The3Dude · April 10, 2018, 11:39:34 PM

All I know is that there are C5-45-45-45-45-85-41-41-41-41 which is were two macros are. I can't seem to find any others.

Trax · April 16, 2018, 04:11:52 AM

I... don't understand this hack... I just rage quit after 10 minutes...

The title of the thread says "coming soon". So why was this hack submitted to the database, and why was it accepted ?!?

The3Dude · April 16, 2018, 08:18:05 AM

If you need help I can help you.

I can't for the life of me find the wooden sword, and I just end up getting killed since the enemies like to gather on the edges of the screen, blocking my progress.

I really think the sword should be a lot easier to find than this.

The3Dude · April 16, 2018, 07:19:01 PM

You buy the sword for 175 rupees near the top middle of the overworld. And you should have a bow from beating map 1 to defend yourself.

If you have questions then, Ask and you shall recieve. Knock and it shall be opened unto you....

Trax · April 17, 2018, 05:47:53 PM

Well, your hack is broken. There's a room in Dungeon 1 (location 42) where a shutter door is supposed to open (seemingly) after all enemies are killed, and it doesn't. I have the correct original ROM, I did the checksums. I don't even understand how people can praise this hack if it's broken in the first level. Did you test it?

Also, why so many dark rooms?! What's the point?

The3Dude · April 17, 2018, 06:49:01 PM

You have to push a block in the dark..... Stop bashing.

Also the hack was purposely intended to be very challenging.... And yes I've beaten the game 6 times already just because I didn't want any bugs. I just found an exploit which let's you leave the forest before beating Lv1.... Which is soon to be fixed. I'm still testing the game, after this next release (Which will be soon) there shouldn't be any more exploits.... If you can't figure something out try everything, ex: Walking into walls, pushing blocks, bombing walls, and if you can't find a key then go back to an older dungeon to try and find it.

Trax · April 17, 2018, 07:42:03 PM

I guess your notion of "difficulty" must be very different from mine.

If you end up out of bombs and rupees for arrows, the game becomes unbeatable at this point. You have to delete your saved game and start from the beginning.

The3Dude · April 17, 2018, 08:16:54 PM

Don't worry the new update will have a free infinite bombs shop.

NEW UPDATE V1.3 RELEASE (Pretty much the final version....unless there's another bug discovered)

ultimaweapon · April 19, 2018, 01:14:47 PM

The last time I played it, I couldn't find the Bracelet that's supposed to be in Map-2. And I can't seem to find Level 3.... probably because I need the Bracelet to move some rock.

I'm fine with the challenge from the enemies. Finding items is a different story.

ah nuts. in the v1.2 readme you said that the max number of heart containers that can be obtained in the 2nd quest are eight. But I only was able to get 6 of them. I looked everywhere for the other 2 (both overworld & underworld) and they seem to be missing from the 2nd quest. i don't know if that exists in the v1.3 release.

The3Dude · April 19, 2018, 01:56:43 PM

in level 2 push a block in a room to the west and a stairway will open up, containing the bracelet.

Am I missing something, or isn't this the case? Kind of spoils the game when you can be boxed in a corner where the game becomes impossible.

The3Dude · May 06, 2018, 10:12:33 PM

In the 2nd quest this is True... And Hey snarfblam, thanks for implementing that great automap feature!
