Compy and the Video Game Olympics

Sorry about that post by Compy, guys. He thinks he runs the place just because he’s our new computer. All of what he said is true, but I’m not gone. I just go over Tim’s house a lot.

On another note, Tim and I have planned the Video Game Olympics. The way this works is basically, me and Tim create a video on our Youtube account, JaredAndTim, explaining the rules of the Video Game Olympics, and show games which we will play. We’ll have several different types of games. (Racing, fighting, shooting, puzzle, rythm, etc.) And the best part is that YOU, the viewers get to choose which game in each category we will play in the Video Game Olympics. There will be a poll where you can vote for which game you want to be played. As of now, there are a lot of preparations to be made. We hope to have it done by the end of the summer. There will be more info on this as planning progresses.

The Wonderful World of Rom Hacking!

Hi guys! You’re probably wondering about the title. Well, there’s this game called Super Mario World. Now, throughout the programming of this game, the creators tried to make it as simple as possible. But, since the invention of the internet, people have figured out a way to hack this game with the dark powers of emulation. Of course, editing the game can only be done with a program called Lunar Magic. Depending on the amount of work put into a hack, the hack can be very good or very bad. I’ve been working on my own hack for quite some time. It’s called Jared World Is Super. Now, I’ll answer any of the questions you may have.

Question: What is SMW Hacking?
Answer: SMW Hacking is the process of modifying the content of a Super Mario World ROM file. In simpler terms, SMW Hacking means editing levels, graphics, enemies, programming (and so on) in Super Mario World. To hack SMW, you need a SMW ROM file and an editor. The most commonly used editor for SMW is Lunar Magic.
Question: Isn’t hacking illegal?
Answer: By “hacking”, we’re not talking about breaking into computers. “Hacking” in this context means “editing a ROM”. ROM Hacking itself is not illegal, however, downloading the ROM files required for hacking is illegal.
Question: What is a ROM?
Answer: Answer: A ROM is a hardware chip in a game cartridge that contains the game data.
You can play this ROM using an emulator, and you can use this ROM for hacking.
Question: Where can I find a ROM?
Answer: Search for it on Google. It’s illegal to tell people where to find ROM’s over the internet.
Question: How do I play a ROM?
Answer: In order to play a ROM, you need an emulator.
Question: What is an emulator?
Answer: Just like a SNES can’t play SEGA games, a computer can’t play SNES games. Therefore, it needs a program called an “emulator” to translate the game into something the computer understands. The most popular SNES emulators are ZSNES, Snes9x and BSNES.
Question: What is Lunar Magic?
Answer: Lunar Magic is a program made by FuSoYa which edits a Super Mario World ROM. Lunar Magic can, among other things, edit levels, edit the overworld, decompress, edit and recompress the graphics, edit blocks and edit most texts. Lunar Magic is undoubtedly the most sophisticated ROM hacking program in the world.
Question: Where can I find Lunar Magic?
Answer: Here.
Question: My ROM has got the extension “.zip”. It can be played in an emulator, but won’t load in Lunar Magic. What’s wrong?
Answer: The file is compressed. To decompress it, you have to use a program like WinZip, WinRAR or 7-Zip. (The most recent Windows versions allows opening .zip files as a folder.)
Question: My ROM has got the extension “.rar” or “.7z”. It won’t work. What’s wrong?
Answer: The file is compressed. To decompress it, you have to use a program like WinRAR or 7-Zip. (Note that WinZip won’t work.)
Question: What is the correct version of the Super Mario World ROM?
Answer: Most hackers use a headered ROM image of the American (U) version of Super Mario World.
Nintendo released four versions of Super Mario World for SNES. These versions are Japanese (J), American (U), European (E) (V1.0) and European (E) (V1.1).
Nintendo also released SMAS+SMW for SNES. This ROM contains both Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World. A few SMW hackers use SMAS+SMW.
Nintendo also released Super Mario Advance 2, the GBA version of SMW. The hacks and tools for the SNES game do not work with SMA2.
Question: How do I identify the version of Super Mario World in my ROM?
Answer: Play the ROM in an emulator. If the game language is Japanese, then you have the Japanese (J) version. If the game language is English and the emulator uses PAL, then you have one of the European (E) versions. If the game language is English and the emulator uses NTSC, then you have the American (U) version.

Thanks to smwcentral.net for the Frequently Asked Questions.

I hope that answered all your questions. One thing that they didn’t tell you is that to play a rom hack, you’ll need Lunar IPS. That can be downloaded in smwcentral.net’s tools section. I’ll give you guys a link to download my rom when it is complete. But, I’m still waiting for the website to deny it so I can send them the fixed version of it. Of course, I only finished the demo. Also, when you guys are able to download my rom, I’ll give you further instructions on how to play it in the ReadMe included in the download.

Happy December!

Wow! I can’t believe it’s December! I can’t believe the year flew by! I can’t believe it’s not butter! Yes, my frien… acquaintanc… fan… stalkers, it’s already December. Which means Decemberween is just 25 days away! YAY! What? Decemberween? Well, you say termater, I say phermatermortz. So, what will I be receiving this year? A special, limited edition Mario DSi bundle with 5 pre-installed games! (And hopefully a new R for my keyboard. It’s really sticky, and it doesn’t wanna go in.) But, don’t think Decemberween is just about the presents. I’m gonna try to post about Decemberween every time I can this month. So, let me start you up with a nice little video today.

Happy Dethemberween

Let Us Receive Thanks!

Today, in Kuzikistan, I mean America, is a day of being thankful, and not saying your welcome. Just because you’ll follow the orders of Strong Bad. So, get thanks, and don’t give, because parents don’t expect you to.

<— Hi parent!

Here is a video that goes with the holiday: Some Stupid Turkey

What’s so cool about Jared Jared Jared?!?

What’s so cool about Jared. you ask? Let’s put it like this. In several big networks, it forms Moltensnow entertainment™ ® ©!

Remember that old video with me becoming a pirate?

To make that train-wreck, you simply take a boring magazine, some cool transitional effect, some crazy costume, and an old computer! Than you’ve got Moltensnow entertainment ™ ® ©!

Then you get a weird video with some weird kid with a HUGE IMAGINATION, a crappy blog, and some useless pictures made with MS Paint to go along with it! Than you’ve got Moltensnow entertainment ™ ® ©!

Or how ’bout that one where I visit the Underwhere? Remember when the sound and image were terrible after the first scene? Well, you simply take a good webcam, a crappy digital camera, rip off the name of a location of a video game, and you can call it a Youtube video! Than you’ve got Moltensnow entertainment ™ ® ©!

So, now you know what’s so cool about Jared! But just in case you missed it, I can repeat the answer for you. Than you’ve got Moltensnow entertainment ™ ® ©!
