The Hack Assistance Thread 2.0

So I'm playing a romhack right now and I've just gotten to the first (second?) Ghost House in the second world. Now I've heard from other people that this level has a secret exit that leads to this "bonus-y" level but I just can't find it no matter how much I've looked for it. I'm really hoping it's not one of those levels where it just ends up being a cheap secret path through blocks that you can just walk through for some reason, or not an exit that requires me to have a cape or anything like that. The latter possibility would especially be a major pain in the ass since this level doesn't actually have a feather anywhere in it.

It's this hack, if anybody was wondering. Does anybody know where this exit is so I can continue? I still need to find the Yellow Switch Palace and this isn't helping.
Don't shitpost in this thread.
Can someone help me please with a problem I have with the hack named "Luigi's Misadventures 2 - Leviathan's Mania"? I pressed all the switches and did all exits (I'm almost sure. I have 95) including all the Leviathan world but I stin cannot enter the door that you need all switches and all levels from last world to enter. What could I have missed? Thanks for your hack and your help.
I need help finding an older SMW rom hack I played with my brothers years ago.

Unfortunately I only remember a few details about the game currently:
1. It wasn’t a vanilla hack (it had sprites from YI edited in)
2. The overworld layout was still the same as the original SMW
3. The biggest detail I remember is that the fight in what is supposed to be Ludwig’s castle has a ghost boss; you fight a fishing boo who’s sprite is edited to be a boo-blah from yoshi’s island and there’s eeries flying at you from left and right and you have to dodge them and hit the boss with a koopa shell that appears on the side of the screen.

I’m sorry I don’t have much to go on! I just want to track this down, thank you.

Anyone know the name of music that plays in 1:26 of this video?

I have not found any thread where I could ask anything similar so I found this place appropriate #tb{>:(}
More appropriate is this thread, though. #ab{;)} (The one you posted here is for hack walkthroughs and searching for hacks, not musics.)

The song in question is Midi Guy's Mystery Deeps
I'm looking for hacks that are just going to the right, uncomplicated, and fast. Essentially, the rush one gets when firing up NES SMB and blazing through 1-1. Something uninterrupted that any person can have fun with, that any person can pretend they're speedrunning. Opposite of what I want would be the entire level design of SMB 3, all this stuff about puzzles, items, story, non-linear levels, etc.

I'm an outsider, and generally not a Mario player, because I find only Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Land follow this philosophy - and not costantly (1-2 on SMB kills my vibe every time). Most hacks seem to do the complete opposite of what I want.
What are you supposed to do in this section of GbreezeSunset's OLDC level?

Hi.
You're supposed to have a blue koopa kick the shell, then the shell hits you after you spinjump the turn block at the bottom of the image. You don't need the blue koopa though, you can throw the shell yourself.

You can see the solution in this video.
Thank you, Noivern!

Me & puzzles clearly don't mix well. #tb{''}

Hi.
I guys I am looking for a hack to learn how to shell jump and other basic moves for kaizo hacks and more challenging hacks. I am new to SMW hacks really a big fan of the hacks I watch and would love to be able to beat them but just dont know how to do any of the tricks so need a beginner hack or a hack that teaches me how to do them.
There's this one
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
So i was working on my rom hack and after about (oh 5 hours of work, working on the overworld.) My computer crashed. 5 hours down the drain. As you can probably imagine, by enthusiasm to get back to the hack, is lacking. (I didn't even manage to get to the pathing, was still working on just the aesthetics. (And didn't get to the sub maps either)

So that is why I turn to you guys. I am looking for help on teh world map, aiming to have 100+ exits in this game, and you can probably tell, the SMW map does not provide a game with that many exits by itself.

In addition to the crash, i realized I had no hub area. Star world is a great place to get to certain areas quickly in the game (Granted it is used for speed runs to get to Bowser ASAP, but a hub area is still a place to go from World 1 to world 4 easily without using a warp.

So The things I am truly looking for.
1) A map supporting 10 worlds.
-Starting Area (Mushroom Meadows)
-words 2 (Honeydew Hills)
-World 3 (Walnut Woods)
-World 4 (Caramel Cliffs)
-World 5 (Snow cone Summit)
-world 6 (Tangerine Tropics... I will get to this one in second)
-World 7 (Grenadine Grotto)
-World 8 (Danish Dessert)
-World 9 (Bowser's Valley)
-World 10 (Special)

Now for Tangerine Tropics, while the main circle of islands are named Tangerine Islands (!-?) there are sup islands that have a different name. (Blueberry Beach, Rasberry Reef, Emerald Enclave, Orange Ocean, Lemon Lake, Purple Palms.) With Lemon lake connecting Cliff to reef, and reef connecting lake to Tropics. From that point the other 4 just work in setting people up. One going to hills, one going to Grotto, one going to the desert (maybe one leads to a pipe that leads to Baser Valley) or for whatever reason, one that leads to Snow Cone Summit) (Which is a branching path from Cliffs, But it really did not lead anywhere and there was no reason to go there if you were not aiming to 100% the game. (So I ended up wanting to make the end goal of summit to not only have a castle (Ludwig), but also be the only way to lead to special world. And maybe also a switch)

Special world was not going to change at all. But the levels would all be on a themed scenery (Ice, Water, Ghost house, Castle, etc.)

Thing is I am not asking for level designers. (though i am not going to say no to those willing to help) I am looking for help with the overworld. Given that I want to have 100+ exits, it is a large task and given that i only did my first Overworld tonight, took 5 hours before computer crashed an I had not even fully complete the main map (Had not even begun working on sub maps, and after that i would have to make paths and events, i probably had another 10 hours remaining, minimum (For me, I am sure the more seasoned editors can do it much quicker) I see many overworlds that while seem extravagant, seem to also be basic. (but the basic thing may just be due to the lack of vanilla design options in SMW)

So again I am looking for help, Mainly the over world but I would also appreciate help designing the 100+ exits.

You are asking for assistance building a hack, but this thread is for assistance choosing a hack to play or 100%ing a hack.
You might want to repost your help request in the team hacks thread.

That being said I can just wonder why you didn't save your progress over the course of five hours o.O
Hope you find someone to help you.
Just a small tip: With an idea that well thought through you might as well include some kind of concept art to make it easier to understand.
Good Luck!

Sorry, I saw assistance, I assumed. I Know there is a thread that is menat to find others, I thought this was it.

As for the 5 hours thing. The main reason i did not save, I was in the zone. I did not realize it had been five hours until my computer crashed.
I'm playing lolyoshi/mogsiah's HLDC 2014 entry.

For some reason, at the end of cave part with the disco light (third section), the corridor leads to an "infinite" black screen.

I know that the entry's readme has this:

But I waited for the next room to appear for 2-3 minutes, but nothing happens. I used fast forward, but nothing happened.

I played the hack with Snes9x and ZSNES.

I also redownloaded the hack, but the same thing happens.

Sorry if this post is in the wrong thread.



Could somebody help me please? I am playing Colossus by levelengine, a great but difficult hack. I can't find the Yellow Switch. Thanks for the help! EDIT: I know how to find it now.

A 100% save file (sram/srm) for this brand new hack please ?
I really enjoyed playing "stick mice in my head and then beat my head in with a hammer and let them back out" and I do plan on playing "JUMP" eventually but I'm looking for something similar to mice. I'd like it to be somewhat shorter too. And difficulty-wise maybe about on par with mice. I'd be open to something a little harder but nothing too drastic.
