I believe it was in 2008 that the user Buu originally coined an idea for a collaboration hack. Granted, the forum itself didn't come into play until 2009, but nobody seemed to take it seriously. I recall something I said at one point: "I don't believe SMWCP is going to go anywhere. Hacks like this always fail". Seeing that a community like Raocow's Talkhaus could finish a hack like ASMT, I felt it would be pretty weird if the hub of SMW hacking itself couldn't do something like this. Nonetheless, from March until about ten minutes ago, over 200 users have worked hard to bring you:

An SMW Central Production

It has been a long and difficult (and frustrating!) road, but at last, it's here. The release I have put up on the site is Version 1.5, and it will work on all emulators EXCEPT ZSNES 1.42. The particular version in the ZIP will also not work on BSNES, but don't fear! I have a separate IPS for BSNES that I will be putting up tomorrow, so if you are an accuracy nut, you'll have to wait another 12 - 24 hours.

To everyone else:

I would like to thank each and every one of you who participated in this hack in some way. Having tested this hack several, several times, I am not only impressed with the sheer quality of the design, but I am also impressed with how you all managed to work as a team to pull through. From the levels, to the bosses, to the graphics, to the overworld, to everything - it's all here. I would also like to thank my beta testers, of which nearly all of them brought bugs to me. Of course, despite all this, I'm sure there are still minor oddities here and there (and if you do find any - drop me a PM! I'd like to hear about them).

Enjoy. As a community, you've all earned it.

Release it on New Years Eve so 2011 doesn't have to be put on the title screen? Genius.

Well, this is quite the New Years gift, although, most people don't get gifts on New Years.

Finally, it's here! Now i'll do a savestateless run through the whole thing... fml

Anyway, it has been an honor to take part in this huge hack, which might be the greatest thing to happen to the SMW community in a long while. We'll see for ourself when we download this hack, won't we?

Obligatory something-or-other "gonna go play it" post here.

I want to play it right now, but my laptop broke... i play it s soon as i can.

This was actually seriously the exact thought I had about 20 minutes ago.

Sweet deal.
Awesome work by everyone involved.

@GN - Good luck with that. I tried doing that for about half of my beta testing. It didn't go well.

My vote goes towards called the next collab "The Next SMWC Production" or "Another SMWC Production"

I would play it but I have to go to bed soon D:

More fun tomorrow morning I guess.

Bawwww, I can't play it for several days. Oh well.

I made 2 levels for this, but then I left SMW Central at the time. Sad I couldn't participate because of this. Oh well.

I hope it's fun, it's looked pretty fun. So yay.

Anyway, I came across this glitchy background in Treacherous tower, the world 1 castle. Maybe it's caused by the lack of space in the ROM?

Thanks for that catch - E-Man also PM'ed it to me. Thankfully it wasn't a big one, and must have been caused in the last minute patching. The ZIP has been updated.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
