This patch is too simple and wastes freespace for an effect that can be achieved by changing $03D74E to $20 and $03D739 to $1E.

It's a double hex-edit; you can get the same effect by changing both $018454 and $028A30 to A9 00 (for a silver POW) or A9 01 (for a blue POW).

Description:	This patch will give you an RPG styled Overworld. Free-roam walking. No beep sound upon walking over a Level Tile. *Mario stays in direction that he walks. How to use: Paste invisible level tiles (for example, 0x80) on the overworld where you want Mario to be able to walk on. Set the level tile to some unused level like 0x80. Open the level tile settings dialog, then enable the following: Enable Up/Down/Left/Right, Level has been passed, no entry if level passed. Make sure you select a new file of course.

This patch was made to work in conjunction to another patch already removed. In addition to be a simple hex edit, there are enough removal reasons.

File Name:	$1DFA Sound Effect Remapper
Added:	2011.04.28 23:43:32
Authors:	imamelia
Tool:	xkas
Requires Free Space:	No
Bug Fix:	No
Featured:	No
Description:	Fixed a minor bug in the included jump sound effect. This patch moves some of the sound effects in $1DFA to another channel, which frees up channel 7, giving you 6 free channels for music instead of 5. Requires the -se function of Addmusic 4.05.

Authors:	Alcaro

Description:	This patch moves all secondary level entrances to levels 000 or 100. Works well together with the Empty SMW - SMW Scratch ROM Patch. Also has an IPS included.
Download:	Download Backup - 418 bytes

They're redundant because the jump SFX remapper is already part of AMK and remove all secondary entrances can be easily done with Lunar Magic and also is part of Super SMW Scratch ROM.

Zeldara109 puts it very easy:

Originally posted by Zeldara109

This patch is misleading. Not only does it prevent multiple 1ups (as the description says), but it also prevents any sort of star combo (all enemies just give 200 points when star-killed).

It also consists mostly of db hex-edits which are mostly uncommented, making it annoying to modify to restore the combo.

Try this modified patch instead (no credit needed).

The hex edit also is very complicated in the first place and could have been shortened even as a hex edit.

Obsolete by the All-Inclusive Mario Physics Modifier with more customisability and easier modification, respectively.

Description:	Unused addreses are set to 55 (01010101) in most emulators. Since apparently this is a problem for people, this patch sets a customizable amount of unused addresses to 00 instead of 55. It will reset them every time the RESET routine is run.

It's... I don't know. The discription is midleading (it's old, I know, but still) since it's a simple collection of hex edits, specifically which powerup state allows you to shoot fireballs and which one to fly, whether you can float or not, what powerup do mushrooms give (but only mushroom) and even disabling spin jump (which has nothing to do with power ups).

I guess, euh, no one would miss this patch.

Description:	This patch makes Mario shoot straight fireballs and fixes the bug where they fly up at odd angles if they hit a slope (which looks stupid). This will make them turn into a puff of smoke when hitting any solid object.

It's a bunch of hex edits, all of them are documented in ROM map and in Hex Edits Repository.

Description:	This patch can set Mario's coins to a configurable amount (10 by default) on level load. Don't go beyond 99. Note to mods: I know this is something useless, but as it was requested by someone, please reject it only after he has downloaded it if necessary.

This patch can be reproduced by using UberASM and adding the store to $0DBF in an init label, considering the Game Mode 14. It would be like this (use GM14, as I said):

Code

init:
	LDA #10	; put some number between 0-99
	STA $0DBF
	RTL
main:
	RTL

File Name:	Seperate Luigi Jump-Height
Added:	2008-09-30 01:12:07 AM
Authors:	Ice Man
Tool:	xkas

Bug Fix:	No

Description:	This changes the physics for Luigi (player 2), altering jump height and making the fireball shoot straight.
Download:	Download Backup - 674 bytes

It's simple, it's outdated and it has some glitches.

1. It doesn't takes freeze flag into account - physics still apply when game is frozen. For example, when taking a power-up or getting a hurt player may bounce slightly upwards, which is incorrect behavor. Blind Devil's floaty jump physics may suit better if you're looking for luigi's jump physics.

2. It's supposed to disable spinjump for Luigi, but it does so for Mario, and only when Luigi's a current character, meaning it has no effect. Even if it worked, it also disables X button presses, which I doubt is intentional (you can still use Y to shoot fireballs).

3. Straight fireballs go up the slopes, which looks janky, though it's not a huge problem. It's still recommended to use hex edits instead.

Description:	When Luigi: -Disables Spin Jump -Jumps higher -Can still swim -Straight fireballs -Only vertical jump works This is my customized version of the Luigi jump patch. I like it this way because you can only jump higher when you are not running or pressing arrows. Thanks to Aiyo, Smallhacker, Ice Man and Makinaman or whoever else shared parts of this code.

It's basically the same as previous rejected "Luigi Physics" patch, except physics are applied only when pressing A or B. pressing A or B and/or something else (like X or Y for running) won't work. Description states this, but I don't find it usefull in hack design.

Bug Fix:	No

Description:	This patch will make Mario's powerup display on the status bar (as S, B, F, or C.) in case some of your powerup GFX look the same, or something else. It currently uses the bottom-left tile of the bounus counter, but that's easily changeable in the ASM file. ( I mean really, who cares about the bonus counter?) Some credit to Ice Man, who did find the addresses.

Removed because of the following reasons:

1) Hijacks NMI;
2) Can be converted to an UberASM code (already working on it);
3) Poor code; several cycles could be saved by just using tables and indexing.
