The most aggravating thing about hacking is dealing with all the bugs that magically pop up. Fortunity, most bugs in this hack are very minor and can be overlooked. I will list them. Those of you who played the first version...I got most of the big ones out. It was hard work..but well worth it!



UPDATED ON 10/25/11


Use the save state in battle AT YOUR OWN RISK. For some reason..this sometimes leads to strange and annoying bugs when you load in the middle of a fight. But it's all
for the better, because that's cheating anyway. Maybe it only happens when I do this while editing battle scripts??

Bowyer:
-------
This one is very small and kind of funny. If you use a Crystiline at the start of the fight...Mario might face towards geno.

Sprites:
--------
Every now and then..you may see a disordered sprite, like the Shy-Guy in Molvile.

Bowser Claw:
------------
Due to an unfortunite bug, I changed his normal attack, but since he won't be unarmed for long, it doesn't matter.

Sunken Ship:
------------
A mistake on my part, but I made a loop hole after many people told me about it. The maze puzzle..picking up the scroll will give you the royal syrup.

9snes vs Zsnes:
-------------
It seems that Breaker Beam might screw up in the Zsnes. I didn't know that. Only 2 monsters use this move in my hack, but they are important ones for me...and I don't mean the Rangers and Gunyonk. I'll make another rom and change the battle scripts on those 2 monsters for the ZSNES users if it becomes a major problem.

Bowser's Keep:
---------------
1. I had to remove the final room in one of the puzzles because the moving platform disappeared for some reason. The second door leads to the treasure room now. I now see that it was because I edited the game while playing, but I'll leave it as it is for now, and maybe later I'll use this room for something else in a furture update.

Dialoge Bugs:
----------------------
I fixed most of these, but one came back...a line after the boomer fight. Post any others that you find.

Smithy factory:
----------------
A lot of loop holes here. I had to SKIP a few rooms to avoid a few aggravating bugs.
It seems that it's possible to get permenatly stuck in the room before the countdown fight. You can fall off the platform and NEVER be able to come back. To avoid this..make sure you jump on the spring. I'll work on this, but this wil be hard to fix this without making it hazardous to people who want to contiue their old game.



Toad:
---------
It seems that if you don't do the IPS patching right, you'll get a very annoying bug at the beginning of the game..discussed on this page below.

Belome 2:
--------------
The game will freeze if yo beat him before he eats somebody. Will be fixed in the update.

Exor:
-------
A small and yet FUNNY bug here that can be avoided. I won't tell you why this is happening, but.........
The party member on the far right will turn PINK. The only way to avoid this bug is to have Peach on the far right during that fight..or if Bowser is not in the party, they will be pink for a second.

BOSS RUSH BUG:
--------------------------
IN ROOM 3 ON THE FIRST BATTLE, IF YOU BEAT BONETAIL FIRST, THE GAME WILL FREEZE IF HIS LAST ATTACK WAS A PHYSICAL MOVE. TO AVOID THIS, KILL THE REAPER FIRST, OR AFTER HE DOES EARTHQUAKE. THIS WAS A SIMPLE MISTAKE ON MY PART, AND IT WILL BE FIXED IN THE UPDATE.

ROOM 1 OF THE MINI BOSS RUSH, USING ULTRA FLAME ON THE 6 SHAMAN (WARLOCK) FIGHT FREEZES THE GAME. FIXED FOR THE UPDATE.





These are all the bugs I know as of now. If you find any others...PLEASE INFORM ME RIGHT AWAY!!

Me and Sejin found a bug. At Mario's Pad when you talk to Toad it freezes up and the dialogue is mess up.

AGAIN??!! I thought I got rid of this a long tie ago..I'll check it.

On a sidenote, this was done using the rom from the provided link (for some reason, the emulator would give me an error when I used my older Mario RPG rom, which runs the game just fine). I used SNES9X version 1.52.



Skip to 4:05.

This bug has been kicking my ass. You need to use the same rom I used to make to game..that's why. Let's try this again....go to the download page for the new links.

[darkkefka]

Well this thing got off to a rocky start. this is why I didn't want to use IPS, because I KNEW that bug would return and kick my ass again. But you must use IPS files to be safe. Go to the download forum and try again. This time..I made a link to the very file I used for the editing.

keep me updated and let me know if it works now.

[Cecil]

So far its working fine now. That bug you fixed it.

When I had this bug during the early release...everything worked fine after I fixed it.

The events where mixed up because of the different versions of the rom. This is why I don't like using IPS because you MUST use the very same version that was used to hack the game. So I added a link to the very file I used to make the game.

IRC? Okay

I'm not sure of you've seen it already, but I encountered a glitched Spikester sprite in Booster Pass. When fighting the Lakitu, the second Spikester comes out like so:


(Mind the quality. Had to take the picture off my TV.)

I know it's not a deadly glitch, but it's worth noting.

Ahh..there's a new one, but easily fixed. There's too much Ram used in thay battle formation. I'll fix it in the upgrade. Thanks.


WAIT A MINUTE.....YOU ALREADY MADE IT THIS FAR???? Is the game too easy??? Looks like Mario is way overleved.

[C-4]

Haha yeah, I've been playing nonstop. Real fun hack you've made.

It was thanks to that typo, actually. I look back at it and want to replay without it. But I'm already this far! I'll replay in the fixed updates though.

NO....I won't update it for another 2 weeks. Just keep me informed oon things that need to change. I'll be in tonight. I want to know how far you got.

[C-4]

Don't worry, I'm still playing the file and plan to beat it before the fixes. Currently I'm at Star Hill. Taking a little break right now.

[C-4]

Found another Glitched sprite. Again, it's small. And again, it's fighting the same Lakitu in Booster Pass. Part of the Artichoker's Sprite reacts to the Right Lakitu:



Likewise to the other, it's worth noting. Even if small. I'll continue to check for any abnormalities beyond Star Hill. Those muggers are getting to me.

EDIT: I don't want to double post, but I've found another thing.

When engaged with 2 Spikesters and 2 Artichokers, if the 2 Artichokers are defeated before the Spikesters, the Battle is won.

I'll post an image shortly.

Yes I did. Hence why Mario and Bowser have high HP. My highest level was 13 for Mario. Mallow was 12, and Bowser was 10. It took me 3 tries because Loco Express got to me.

[C-4]

At the Sunken Ship now, another thing found. When fighting Greapers in a group of 4, they are on top of each other. I would show a video, but I need a capture device for my Wii.

I never paid too much attention to Boosters pass..that's Why missed all this. This bug..I don't understand. There's nothing wrong with the battle scripts......I'll have to look into it some more. But it's till a small one. hope we don't run into anymore crashes.
