Well, I have decided to make a SMW hack, and to document my progress here. While I don't want it to be the best SMW hack ever made (I give that credit to
SMW2+3: The Essence Star), I wish for it to be a decent hack. I shall put effort into level design (this won't be one of those almost impossible hacks that you can find videos of on YouTube), and graphics.
MY PROGRESS
As of now, I have inserted ASM hacks into my hack. I have also inserted custom music (from Super Mario All-Stars), and modified the
title screen (title screen design in screenshot not final). I now just need to insert graphics, and most importantly, design levels!
DISTRIBUTION OF THE FINISHED HACK
I plan to distribute my hack through
SMW Central, in the form of an IPS patch. For those who don't know about this, IPS patches are patches you apply to a file (in this case, a clean US SMW ROM with a
.sfc extension). This is legal, due to the patch only containing altered code, not any portion of the original code. However, providing links to the clean Super Mario World ROM is illegal, so I can only say to try searching on
Google.
