Sonic 1 Disassembly

Bump, just saying that s1comb.asm is NOT automatcally generated -- you have to take a file and rename it to such. It's auto-update, not auto-spawn. I hope this will be fixed.

 

I tried it, and it seemed to work...
but all of my pallets are screwed up big time.

any idea why?

I have also applied the code for the alternate pallets for Acts 2 and 3, which I found from another thread.

 

Wish I new ASM better. Touched on it some a few years back, but not much. I do virually everything in C.

 

nvm

 

I have a problem while building a rom. When the rom is ready, it says that the rom is only 128 bytes. Can anyone help me about that?

 

I've discovered what's going on and have several things to report.

Hivebrain's include program isn't intelligent enough to create the s2comb.asm file for itself; if the file doesn't already exist it quits silently after spewing its usual message about correct usage.

Lightning's include program, on the other hand, apparently doesn't fully implement the syntax for the includes; this caused a bizarre bug when building Sonic 1 which caused one frame of the red and white block in the special stages to become corrupt.

Therefore to make sure that your compile will go ahead:
1) Download the Win32 port of touch (Google it) and save it to the s1 folder.
2) Put the following lines before the include command in build.bat:

Code (Text):

1. del s1comb.asm
2. del s1built.bin
3. touch s1comb.asm

That should solve the problem. Hivebrain, could you fix your include program so it creates a file when none exists rather than requiring one to make it oneself before it works?

 

Thanks ! I'll test and see if this works ^^.

 

Sorry about the double post — I can't access the edit button on my post — but Google.com didn't find anything related to "Win32 port of touch".

What do I have to type in the search form to find something about?

If you can help me, I'll thank in advance.

 

Seriously, did you try to search for it with the quote marks?
I lol'd

 

Release today o_0? If not... that's not a 2006 release now is it :P

 

In before Duke Nukem Forever.

 

Just hope that's soon. Figuring out how to work that broken built.bat file is slowly killing me inside.

 

I really need help :S. im new to hacking (so I don't really know how to do it lol!). I want to make a sprite edit on sonic 1. I 'split' it with the split batch file, and now I just have a load of binaries. am I supposed to edit them, and how do I if I am supposed to? am I doing completely the wrong thing?? sorry if im not posting this in the right place

 

1. download split disasm
2. edit tiles in TLP
3. edit mappings if required
4. start->run->cmd, cd to your disasm's directory and then type build.bat
5. open gens and load s1built.bin
6. test

Okay, okay, so it's not exactly newbie-friendly. Maybe someone should make a tutorial of it.

 

what is TLP and cmd?

 

cmd is build into WinXP
tlp (tile layer pro) can be downloaded here -> http://www.hacking-cult.org/

 

thanks very much
