Lord Kappos Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I am a completely ignorant soul when it comes to hacking and patching. As far as I can tell most FE hacking has fallen to the back burner since 2009 and I can't find much in the way of fan made mods and games that I could play on my emulator (Desmume). I have a lot of ideas for some patch and hack scripts but I don't really know where to start. Any suggestions? Or anyone want to do a collaborative project?

Agro Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Uhh... you know that there are at least 10 active ROM hacks on this board alone, right...? You don't use Desmume to run GBA ROMs. Edited February 13, 2013 by Agro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't use Desmume to run GBA ROMs. Right. Sorry, I use the Boycott Advance. Where are the links to the downloads and which games do they patch to? Most of them draw from multiple FE games so I got pretty confused and like I said I'm not finding much on the internets in the way of instruction.

Lord Kappos Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 These downloads won't format right on a mac will they. I've done most everything else just fine on it. I'm using multipatch to patch files and running the Boycott as well as PCSX and some other emulators just fine. So, is there something I'm missing or is it just not going to work?

Agro Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't think NUPS works on a Mac, no. But you are extracting them from the RAR and all that, right? It isn't difficult to stick stuff on a USB and find someone that has a Windows computer, I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eCut Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I'm having trouble seeing your problem! I'm also using a Mac and Multipatch, which is an incredibly simple patcher. A patch is a patch, regardless of whether your using Windows or Mac. :P There is also a Mac version of Visual Boy Advance (just google it and you'll find a download link).

Crimson Red Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 VBA is more or less the best GBA emulator out there, it's suggested you use that. Keep in mind stuff like OS, game version, etc. are all important in this. Unless you specify what you did and how you did there's not much people like us can really say or do but point you in a vague direction (ala linking you to resources). However, with not only NUPS but Multipatch and other patchers, patching should not be a problem, nor should emulation itself, so I believe that if you make a decent effort, the only thing barring you from succeeding is finding a good base ROM, which we cannot help you with (check out the rules for "why"). Anyhow, good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klokinator Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I am a completely ignorant soul when it comes to hacking and patching As far as I can tell most FE hacking has fallen to the back burner since 2009 Definitely wrong there, FE Hacking is only getting better, especially with Cedar's new tool looming on the horizon. And then there's FEXP. /foreverfexpingalone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klokinator Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 So the conclusion I can draw from the last 5 posts is: BLAZER JUBBS AND CAM ALL DO ASM! But blazer doesn't hack anymore. And cam got bored. ... GOOD THING WE STILL HAVE OL' JUBBS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 lol as if i fall under the category of smarter than cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I like how Cam indirectly insults most of the forum by saying that ASM is for smarter people than him when he's one of the smartest people on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eCut Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I like how off-topic this has become. No, really, I just love it.<3 Guys, stop discussing cam, that's not what the thread is for. Edited February 15, 2013 by eCut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
