Do not contact me about bugs in Asar, LMSW or ZMZ. I no longer maintain those tools. No exceptions. Fix it yourself if it's that important, they're all open source. Reports and feature requests for AlcaRobot, Floating IPS, and those random small tools will be accepted. The ZMZ cores aren't mine, reports will be accepted.

I am a random Swedish boy, of exactly the right age, no more no less (shut up about updating this one).
I have been here on SMW Central for far too long, and I worked with SMW for a while before that (my first post was asking for help with ASM).
While I have no problem with advanced ASM, with experiences ranging from making levels with only xkas to replacing Mario with another character, my favourite programming language is C++ (translation for non-technical people: I can and do make tools). I also have some experience with HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript and x86 assembly.
I tend to be quite contrary, ignoring and contradicting most social norms I don't understand or agree with. For example, floating Munchers were quite impopular a while ago, so I immediately embraced them.

I also like the numbers 42, 735, 41433505, 16722, 3838, 1686 and 845 (sorted by which I like the most; each one means something, but they're not related to each other).

My favourite games, in order:
Jumper 2 (platformer)
Medieval Cop (adventure/puzzle/humor; the only one here that's not stupidly hard)
Bullet Heaven (bullet hell)
Jumper 1/Redux (platformer)
Super Meat Boy (platformer)
Epic Boss Fighter 2 (bullet hell)

I have a heart of darkness, filled with regret, anger at the world, and sadness how the universe is merciless.

The universe is cruel, and that makes me want to get revenge on the universe and everything in it for 0% harmony. I would bring absolute peace to the world where no negativity can happen and everything is happy. Would that not be the kind of world you people would want?

Every time I miss out on something I want or become sad or angry, I turn to my dark side, who always rambles about the universe and merciless life. Whenever I sink into deep pessimism, you'll never look at me the same way again...

I try to give life a chance. I really do. However, it is too evil for me to even come out of my house. But there's no safe place from everything bad in the universe. No matter what you do, or where you are, death awaits you.

I wish I was never born. Someday, the universe will pay for all the horrid things it is has done to humanity and other extraterrestrial life in the universe.

I do not fit in with the other people. I am much different from them.

Anything can trigger the dark side of me, from your average every-day problems to natural disasters to the destruction of the world.

This is the first time I have revealed my dark side. You guys ought to get used to this. As for the creeped out, it is not my decision to tell you guys to be creeped out. That is not how it works. You must feel the emotion yourself without a seal of approval.

And with that, I fade into darkness...

Because the file bin is pretty limited, I made a Greasemonkey script that allows you to upload and delete multiple files at once, and to sort the files by type.
Note that it's only tested in Firefox with the default scheme; anything else may mess up in various ways.

If you've got any tool requests, or ASM requests I find interesting (the rules for what's interesting are unknown even to me, though I seem to prefer debugging stuff), send them to me and I'll see what I can do. Note that the most common result is that I don't find it interesting, and you get only a few RAM addresses and code snippets, with me expecting you to put it together by yourself.

Reasons why ZSNES' emulation core should be avoided
(still looking for a list for why TRASM sucks - I think someone said it assumes 8bit mode for all opcodes, but I haven't verified this.)

---

Comparison of ZSNES' interface with Snes9x:
(+ means ZSNES does it better; - means Snes9x does it better.)
+ Savestate manager, with previews and stuff
+ Rewind system (update: apparently Snes9x >= 1.54 has that too)
+ Snow (this is the biggest one)
+ Hotkeys are customizable (most of them, at least)
- Draws all widgets by itself, instead of looking like the rest of the computer (some see this as an advantage, that looking like a 20 year old program adds to the charm when you're playing 20 year old games; I don't)
- When the mouse enters the ZSNES window, it's moved to where it was when it left
- The mouse has a different speed when on top of ZSNES
- Defaults to BMP for screenshots, with PNG as a non-default choice (Snes9x supports only PNG)
± Savestates are accessed through a slot selection system, instead of one key per slot. Which is better is a matter of opinion; Snes9x's key-per-slot setup makes it easier to access multiple slots, while ZSNES' slot selector uses fewer keys, and allows for more slots without becoming unwieldy.

bsnes 0.70 vs Snes9x (+ for bsnes, - for Snes9x):
+ Has rewinds (update: apparently Snes9x >= 1.54 has that too)
+ Puts SRAM/etc beside the ROM, not beside the emulator (applies only to Snes9x >= 1.52, older Snes9x are sane)
+ Hotkeys are customizable (most of them, at least)
+ Offers both Snes9x-style mapped savestates, and ZSNES-style slotted savestates
- Only three mapped savestate slots are mappable to hotkeys. Not sure how many slotted ones.
- Disables all input if holding Ctrl/Alt/Shift (hard to do otherwise if Shift+F1 shouldn't trigger F1 and hotkeys are mappable, but not impossible)

higan vs anything else:
Infinite minus for copying the ROMs to a subdirectory of my home directory, and placing everything relevant nearby. Close enough to impossible to know whether there's any SRAM nearby, as well as being annoying to delete the SRAM from.
Another infinite minus for demanding a custom .so file in a directory only writable by root; without that, it refuses to load ROMs in the standard formats.
For those reasons, I refuse to use it long enough to make a proper judgement. Actually, that probably is a judgement.

I haven't used RetroArch enough to make a judgement, either; it seems intended to be used fullscreen and with a controller. I don't have a controller, and I prefer my things to be windowed. I believe it's intended for more dedicated gamers; casuals like me are better served by something else.

List of xkas v0.06 bugs I know of (please PM me if you know of any other bugs):

• !x = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : !x = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx overflows a buffer and crashes.
• xkas replaces every instance of the % operator with 0b, ignoring that % is the modulos operator as well. Luckily, that operator is rarely needed.
• Despite this, db 0b10101010 is an unknown label.
• PEA Label doesn't work. This made PER $0006 more common than needed for a while, but these days, PEA.w Label (or using Asar) is the standard replacement.
• !x = $19 : LDA !x refuses to assemble. Splitting it to two lines solves it.
• If an opcode argument is not a single number, the size guesser decides to use the maximum size possible; for example, LDA 2+2 is LDA.l. Doubly annoying when the argument is prefixed with #, or if you want 16bit addressing on a label.
• Sometimes the size guesser uses bigger sizes than possible; for example, DEC $1234-1,x is treated as DEC.l, which doesn't exist.
• TSB $7FC0FC (and other opcodes, for example INC) is treated as TSB.w. No error, of course; you won't notice until your patch suddenly disobeys the ASM file.
• REP 0 assembles the instruction after it once, not never. A workaround is REP -1, or any other negative number.
• Using the pad without an org in front crashes.
• Garbage in table files doesn't print any errors; instead, it gives various very strange results. "AAAAAAAAAAAAA" is ignored, and "Awesomeness=42 FLYING HIPPOTAMUSES" acts like "A=42". To make it even stranger, every eighth digit is OR'd together, so "A=8100000018" acts like "A=99".
• level10:!Freeram = $13E6 defines a label containing invalid characters. No error is printed (until the label is referenced).
• .derp: defines another inaccessible label. No error is printed.
• 12PlayerStim: is also inaccessible.
• incsrc thisfiledoesntexist.asm crashes after printing its error.
• The documentation mentions that only 512 incsrc's may be inside each other. This is fully acceptable, but the truth is less acceptable: Only 512 incsrc's may exist at all. Anything above that makes xkas crash.
• Including the same file twice kills xkas for some crappy reason. (You can work around it by refering to aliases, like incsrc 1/../include.asm : incsrc 2/../include.asm : incsrc 3/../include.asm.)
• Trying to edit a file that can't be written (either the output file, or appending with export.open >>) crashes.
• LDA.B #$42 refuses to assemble. The .b is case sensitive.
• Misplaced #s are ignored annoyingly much - LDA $#01 is treated as LDA $01 for some crappy reason.
• Misplaced []s are also ignored; LDA [$00],x is LDA $00,x.
• Not even LDA $[1#2] is rejected! (What it becomes is left as an exercise for the reader.)
• db 1 is treated as 1, and db -1 is treated as -1, as expected. However, db --1 is treated as -1, db ---1 is treated as 1, and db ----1 is treated as -1.
• db 1/0 will, rather predictably, crash.
• Less predictably, incgin data/gfx.bin (typo intentional) calls the math parser, doesn't find the label "gfx" (or "gfx.bin" or "gfxbin", not sure), defaults to 0, divides by it, and explodes.
• If you use a math statement ending with an operator, for example db 4+, xkas pretends there's a 0 there.
• The same applies at the start: Begin with an operator, get an invisible zero. You can even use db * if you want to confuse people. (db - gets interpreted as a label access.)
• The math parser is FAR too forgiving. db @#$%^&*() prints no error; instead, I think it's interpreted as 0^0&0*0. (! and _ are undefined defines and labels.)
• Using 128 math operators in the same string crashes xkas. This can give interesting results. (You're not going to run into this one unless you're looking for it, though.)
• If you call a macro before it's defined, and this macro contains a label (example), xkas crashes. I have no idea why.
• print "%i" is treated as print "0". print "%.8X" prints 00000000. print "%n" crashes.
• xkas throws "Invalid command." errors if it sees the string ", " in a quoted macro argument for some silly reason (example).
• Making xkas print an error message longer than 16384 characters is another crash.
• !a = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa : !a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a, with the : replaced with a linebreak, doesn't expand all the defines.
• db $42, (with the comma) returns 42 2A; other blank strings will return other absurd values.
• dcb "INIT" prints "invalid opcode or command [dcb "INIT"]", as expected. But it also prints "label [INIT] not found [dcb "INIT"]".
