Tip: Make sure you can beat your own levels without savestates, slowdown, or rewinding.

(I hope no one has made a thread like this.) How do you have decided to be a hacker? When I was 13 years old (it was in january 2004), I was surfing on internet, searching informations about SMW. Then I got a Lunar Magic page, then I was directly in love with this software. (fortunately I didn't have a girlfriend). Like many people, I was a crappy 105 editor and I have started a hack called Cyber mario world (this title is a proof of my hacking level). This hack stills unfinished, but I submitted it on another site, and of course no one enjoyed it. Then I was discouraged and I have stopped hacking in july 2004. In december 2006, I don't know why, but I wanted to start a completly new hack, different from my first crappy hack. I wanted to do a great hack, so I have read tutorials about ExGFX, custom blocks and sprites, and I have learned about overworld (my first hack has an unmodified one). And finally I got a hack with ripped ExGFX, a lot of custom blocks and custom sprites, and with (I hope) a correct level design.
Ever since I played Super Mario World, I wanted to make my own levels for it. So, I searched for a level editor, and lo and behold, there was Lunar Magic. Then, I was told I would need a ROM and an emulator. I found those too, and so I started hacking.
Yoshi's Island was the first game I played and to this day, is my favorite game.
I knew about rom hacking for awhile(Yet I was highly turned off due to youtube hacks) but when I found eggvine on zophars domain, my life changed and I entered rom hacking.
I never regret entering the world of rom hacking.
When did I start hacking SMW and Why?
Recently actually.About the beginning of last year, I started hacking SMW.I always wanted to make a platformer with an epic storyline and YI is too difficult to work with.
I was looking for glitches in Super Mario World on You Tube, instead found hacks, got interested, and started hacking myself.
I dont remember exactly but I was looking for SMW glitches, like above, then found Lunar Magic from a video. Then I got interested, and made crappy hacks (lol, I didnt release them on Youtube), until I found this site. Then I started to improve, use Ctrl+del and stuff lol. So in other words: I started hacking thanks to youtube. >_>
I was surfing on www.nintendo.de when I found a SMW video link. It leaded me to Youtube and then on youtube I searched more when I found about Lunar Magic and tried it out. I liked it. Then I saw a video of AtomicShroom (Yes...^^) where in his description sayed something about smwcentral. Then I found this site and there ya go. ^^
I'd rather forget my earliest hacking years. Anyone who asks me about them from now on will be banned.
Since I was 6, I wanted to make my own levels for this game. And now I can!
This is a bit like one of my threads, but who cares?

I always enjoyed creating custom levels, I used to draw them on paper. Then one fateful day, I was searching for Mario related things and came across a Youtube SMW hack. You know the rest :P

Yeah, me too. I drew them as large as it fitted on the paper, so it wouldn't fit in Lunar Magic. I don't even know where those pictures are... probably dead.
I once drew enemies on paper, saying, "These will be so cool if they are in a game"... so i go to youtube and a video being watched was a mario hack, not just any mario hack, atomicshrooms!
I originally started seriously hacking when I saw videos on Youtube of good levels. Then I found SMW central, and started (seriously) hacking.

And AtomicShroom, I used to draw them on paper too! I would always draw long ghost houses.
about 1997:me getting my first game Super mario world.
Some years later i wish to make my own games in draw levels on paper.
mars 2007:i rencently discovred youtube..
searched for mario and found some funny videos (including some of megaman765) searched more and found some (crappy) LM videos and was yust like `WOW´(lucky enough i hadn´t a youtube accout then) and Googled Lunar magic(me findig the ROM and coming here is another story).
i dont know how i found this website, but i saw SMW hacks on youtube too.
I had this idea for a game, called Captain awesomepants (sweet name eh?) and I drew the levels on paper. They reminded me of smb3. I downloaded a level editor for smb3 (I was already way into roms) and after realizing it sucked, seeked out a new mario game to edit, and seeing as smw was my second favourite I googled and found lunar magic. I got it (from this site actually) and my imagination bloomed.
