Super Mario Bros. practice ROM for advanced players.
Build server now running on i7-laptop. Should survive power-outage and is a million times faster.
** Practice Mode **
- Fixed bug where you would not always restart the level on the same rule as you entered.
** Scenarios **
- Fixed bug where scenarios could reach "SUPER PLAYER" even if you missed input.
** Web-UI **
- Only distribute as IPS.
Build-times are longer. Please allow for up to 20-second for the shitty raspberry to build your custom roms before clicking the link again. If you just want the default rom with no modifications, please click "Download Standard ROM" at the top of the page.
** Practice Mode **
- Customizable Restart-level input
- Customizable Reset-ROM input
- Allow 3-powerups to be collected (Check the third on the level you become small fire mario).
** All Modes **
- Allow disable Music
- Allow disable SFX
Thank you so much @darpey for all your help with this release :)
** Practice Mode **
- Bug fix. Small fire mario can now resume on a given rule from title screen.
- Bug fix. State not saved correctly when entering a new level.
- Bug fix. Rule-counter would only count to 999 then loop around.
FLAGPOLE renamed to SCENARIO, and revamped.
** Practice Mode **
- Rework powerup inputs; while paused: Left cycles between Small, Super, and Fire Mario. Down flips the size of mario without changing actual powerup.
- Make it possible to select Small Fire Mario from the Title screen (3).
- If you change powerup while paused, it is committed to the save state.
- Bug fix. Beating a level would forget powerups.
- Bug fix. Resume on rule sometimes broken too (because of above bug).
- Bug fix. Loading would randomly mess up powerup state too.
** Scenario Mode ** Vastly improved the old FPG-practice engine. All scenarios are now described exactly at http://ud2.eu:5555/scenarios.html
- Reworked FPG 1-1 to allow for second stair pixel too.
- Added 1-2g practice scenario.
- Pressing Start returns to scenario select screen.
- Pressing Select restarts the current scenario.
- Fix bug where sound quit working if loading while paused.
- Fix bug where starting as big on title screen didn't reflect correctly.
- Changed size-toggle while paused to Down.
- Added another face :)
- Set any powerup state on the fly in Practice; while paused, press:
- Left: Small mario, no power-up.
- Right: Super Mario.
- Down: Toggle size flag (make big or small, but keep powerup state).
- B: Toggle fire-mode (ofc possible while small).
- A: Give star-power.
- In FPG, replace frame-counter with X Sub Speed.
- Remove bug where loading while paused would softlock.
- Add more silly faces to loader :)
- Fix bug where "resume from rule" put you on wrong rule.
- Hardcoded resume states for every 100 rules; resuming from rule 9099 now takes ~50 ms instead of 10 seconds :)
- Playing as Luigi you are able to move again...
- Update rendering mode even if paused.
- Change mapper to MMC1 to allow modifications without having to remove bytes.
- Merge Practice ROM and FPS ROM into a single ROM (and included Vanilla ROM too).
- Holding Up while pressing Start during gameplay will change to sockfolder status.
- Holding A while pressing Start at the menu will start you on Second Quest.
- Remove "Judge Radar" as it was retarded.
- Actually emulates on a specific setup (rather than the arbitrary nonsense state that it was before). Only 1-1 D70 is currently included.
- Wrote a LUA-script to add own custom configurations. Will describe in separate post.
- Press Left and Right on title-screen to select scenario to practice.
- Press Select while dead to restart level.
-
Fix bug causing state to become arbitrary after entering a pipe (the Hammer Bro bug).
-
Changed restart level to Select + Up
-
Changed restart game to Select + Down
-
Visually restore rule-counter @ restart level (Judge & Timer control are restored too, but not visually).
Upon beating a level, the rightmost column in the statusbar, "J", will show you what judge-frame you are on (for good/bad judges on 8-1). Only essential if you go to 8-1 from pipe.
Shows the timer control value in the same manner as Sockfolder FPG ROM under "x" in the statusbar. This is the value 0-K shown as level in Sockfolder FPG.
Previously frame and rule values were only updated when you land, now updated on jump too.
Aligned "RM" and "TIME" to match "WORLD" and "TIME" in original SMB, so that visual queues are not destroyed.
I hope you people had a jolly Christmas; also happy new year! <3
