too bad the ROM is broken ::)
hmm... basically the idea is nice, but with a broken ROM you can't see anything about the game. :-\
Looks kewl but I wonder if it's a real game or just failed homebrew.
Read the page in the second link above.
It seems to be a full game, but is very sloppy.
The cart looks nice.
Ahhhh I totally forgot to look at that link. That's one unique cart!
The ROM isn't broken, it just uses some pirate mapper that emulators don't (or didn't -- the article is from 2005) support. Plus, he offers a patch that will make it work.
I meant the youtube video.
In the video you can't see anything interesting at all. It ends with a Windows error message. :D

yeah but nobody knows how it works....
Ah, I see. The rom that's floating around the internet is not the same rom that the guy who made patch has (he used his own dumper to get the rom). His patch does seem to make sense, but some of the offsets are wrong. I might be able to get it working...

please try dude ;)
theres a bunch of ppl who want to get ROM working
I got it to partially work. The levels load, but the sprites don't. You can move around the level and everything and get killed by the enemies, but mario and the goombas and the koopa troopas are invisible.
edit: upon further investigation, it's much worse than that. The graphics get corrupted if you make the screen move vertically...

can you give me the rom that you got it to partially work?
I'll post the updated patch file. Use the tool from that guy's website to apply it.
http://ximwix.net/storage/mario3patch.txt (http://ximwix.net/storage/mario3patch.txt)
Grab the sm3spatch.zip from his website and extract it. Download my mario3patch.txt file and put it in that directory (overwrite the old one). Find the rom online and extract it to that directory (you want the [C][b1] rom, not the [C][b1][o1] rom). Rename the rom smb3s.gbc . Download this file and put it in that directory:
http://ximwix.net/storage/patchit.bat (http://ximwix.net/storage/patchit.bat)
Double click patchit.bat and it'll create a file called smb3s_patched.gbc. That's the patched rom.
ok i played it nice work man!
just plz try to get the sprites to work :)
here's a video i made about the sm3s ROM uglyjoe got kinda working
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkWt-M70j6w (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkWt-M70j6w)
I updated the patch. I fixed some of the corruption issues caused by vertical scrolling. I was able to make it to the end of the first two levels. There's a question mark block and after you hit it, nothing happens. Dunno what that's about. Still no sprites. I know why the sprites are missing, but I'm not sure how to get them back in there. At any rate, I might be done with this until some time after Thanksgiving (time with girlfriend trumps rom hacking, natch).
http://ximwix.net/storage/mario3patch.txt (http://ximwix.net/storage/mario3patch.txt)
nice work man!!! :D
Okay, so I got Mario to appear, but no enemies or power ups (they're in a different bank). The Mario sprites were completely missing from the rom, but luckily the overdump rom had them. I had to switch over to an IPS patch because of it. I'm assuming you know how to use it. If not, just google LunarIPS.
http://ximwix.net/storage/sms3-beta1.ips (http://ximwix.net/storage/sms3-beta1.ips)
yeah IPS is wayy easy
really nice work man!
hey uglyjoe any new updates?
Nope. My girlfriend is home for her Thanksgiving break, so I've had more important things to do.
no problem :)
Okay, it looks like everything is working now. Go ahead and playtest it. If you can't find anything wrong, feel free to distribute.

(oh, and, contrary to that guy's review, you can hover a little bit with the raccoon suit by tapping B while you're in the air)
edit: looks like beta2 freezes after the second level, try this one instead:

AWESOME WORK MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
only 1 thing is glitched up the para goombas
they go all crazy around the screen but other then that its perfect
Hmm...something like that is beyond my control. That's probably a bug that exists on the cart version, too.

yeah maybe........
some of these "GB Pirate Originals" such rocman x you cant even go on moving platforms with falling thru them lol :D
If you make another Youtube video, please thank Brian Provinciano as well, since he's the one who made the mapper hack. I just combined and rearranged the rom dumps so that his hack would work.

alright ill credit both of you ;)
Just saw your newest Youtube. I see what you mean about the crazy Paragoomba. I tried it in Mednafen, BGB, and NO$GBM and couldn't recreate it. What emulator are you using?

hey uglyjoe
can you take a crack at this one?
its called donkey kong 5
http://www.mediafire.com/?3w5nlfxzgtm (http://www.mediafire.com/?3w5nlfxzgtm)
but when you start it up it just shows a black screen and if you press a button it flashes white for a sec
this is what it is supposed to look like...

pokemon pinball music :o
anyways can you take a shot at it?
I'll take a look at it next week, but don't expect too much. If it's using a pirate mapper (and it probably is), then there isn't an emulator out there that will be able to run it. It would have to be hacked to use a more common mapper instead. That's what Brian did with SM3S. All I did was combine the two rom dumps that were floating around on the internet so that they made a single valid rom dump.
any luck?
Nope.
Thank you very much for making such an excellent patch! Anyways, I hope more patches could be made for ROM's of other games.
I would like to see a patch made for Rockman 8- so that it could be played on more emulators (especially LJP for Palm PDA's.) If you are able to make a Rockman 8 patch, it would also be great if somebody could hack the music so that it could have the soundtrack from any of the following games: "Katamari Damacy", "Legend of Zelda", "Halo", or "Resident Evil!"
I apologise if this post offended anybody. I just want to see more patches available for games that are unplayable on the emulators that run on mobile phones.
I don't intend on patching any more games. This was a one-time thing.
Also, if the game works on some PC emulators, but fails to run on your mobile phone emulator, then that is a shortcoming of the emulator. The proper solution is to ask the developer to support the pirate mapper that the game is using.
Why would you want that horrible Donkey Kong 5 pirate that appears to use the same levels from Super Mario Bros?
Why would anyone want to own those crappy pirates SMW and Somari? Because they are cool?
It's like Big Rigs, it's so terrible that it's AWESOME!
I'd kill for a CIB copy of that game like PatMan33's
Super mario 64 is better :p
Well poor quality is to be expected with games like these. It comes with the territory so to speak. I happen to like pirates due to their obscurity.
