Hey Everybody!

New Patch:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dlcis7j3tfpjwxf/RoboCop_-Edit_9.ips/file

A little progress on ED-209. His cannon now lines up with his main body a little better. Now I gotta figure out how to fix the rest of him. Does anyone know of any tutorials for editing large scrolling bosses?

Boss amazing work on graphics..now with Mesen I already hacked RoboCop with the movie OST..sounds amazing I might upload a video on YouTube soon...

SomeOldGuy · « **Reply #63 on:** February 22, 2020, 12:49:09 pm »

edwinmusic, thanks for the support! Did you notice that the first boss has been replaced?

Kurrono, thanks for the kind words! I hope you'll post up a link to your video, I'd love to see what you've done.

I think I've figured out how the game is drawing ED-209 to the screen (see pic below). Only 2 of his frames of animation have been reworked though and I don't think I'll have time this weekend to work on him.

I'll be sure to post a patch when work on him is a little more complete.

This is coming along quite nicely!
Really love the changes made so far

I will include this one in my main hacks repertoire for sure!

It's great to see that you're getting your goals, congratulations!!!

Hey ShadowOne333! Thanks man, I've been meaning to check out your Zelda Redux hacks. I think I'll take a break from Robocop tomorrow and play through LoZ!

Noside, yours has to be the best comment yet! Thanks for that, that's quite a complement!

Thanks sics! It's not easy, It keeps throwing new challenges at me, but eventually I'm going to make this game bend to my will!

That's AWESOME Kurrono! Great job!

Boss is there no way you can add jump feature to Robocop?
that will need some assembly hacking i know.. i dont have knowlwdge to do that..

only music area

SomeOldGuy · « **Reply #71 on:** March 31, 2020, 11:10:39 pm »

Kurrono, I'm sure there's a way to add a jump feature but I don't know how to code (yet), so I can't do it myself ((yet))! Maybe if we eliminated Robocop's block capability? This makes the game way too easy anyway. We could use this space for code to make Robocop jump.... or since the ROM has been expanded, make the program JMP to another area in ROM where there is more space for code? I plan to study 6502 though, so who knows.

Here's what I've been working on recently.

This is my first draft redraw of the first stage. It's not arcade perfect but I think it's pretty close for a NES port. Check it out and let me know what y'all think!

Definitely an improvement

SomeOldGuy · « **Reply #73 on:** April 30, 2020, 08:23:51 pm »

Hey Everybody!

Hope y'll are well. Check out the newest patch below.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ea4huat3qb0gbew/RoboCop_-_Edit_12.ips/file

Level 1 "second draft" redraw ( still WIP )

-Added more detail/texture/color to the background.
-Changed the placement of some enemies.
-Fixed the first bosses palette. He no longer has red/blue skin.
-Other minor graphics/palette changes.

Changed ED-209's Palette to match the .gif on the first page of the post. He still needs a ton of work. Anybody out there willing to help with coding?

If y'all have any critiques, suggestions, etc., let me know!

Thanks

Old Guy

Hey Everybody!

Did a little work on ED-209 this week, he's looking alot better.

Patch: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jp4zgnfc0tsg138/RoboCop_-_Edit_13.ips/file

I think I have a better understanding of how he's animated and was able to get rid of most artifacts that were showing up on the screen. The next challenge is to figure out how to change the order in which his frames are animated. Check out the video below. If you want to help let me know!

Also in this patch, was working on eliminating the time limit for each level. Just don't see the point so I disable the counter and removed the batteries that the player would normally collect. Now I need to figure out how to edit the HUD.

By the way, does anyone have any ideas how to reposition the floating bottle in the pic? It's kinda useless where its at.

Hey Guys!

Working on Level 2!

If y'all want the patch, let me know

!!!!!

jimstrom · « **Reply #76 on:** July 18, 2020, 05:17:00 pm »

It looks awesome, such an improvement to the game!

sics · « **Reply #77 on:** July 23, 2020, 04:50:45 pm »

It seems more and more like a Sunsoft game!

About HUD, maybe this information can help you

Hey Jimstrom! Thanks man, I'm doin my best!

Hey Sics! I took a little break from working on the HUD but you may have just inspired me to take another look at it this weekend. I always appreciate your help/guidance, thank you!

...and this is what I've been working on recently, redrawing some of the enemy sprites. This one now looks less like a child and more like a commando.

This last update was very good, congratulations!
