If at all through this section, you get stuck on any terminology, feel free to look it up in our Dictionary of ROMhacking Terms! Here is an outline of what we'll be seeing on our tour: Contents: We're going to show you around and point you to what you need to know to start helping yourself with all our beginner level documents on your own! After all, ROMhacking is very much a self taught hobby. However, sometimes these beginner documents still don't quite start at the beginning. We have taken the time to label all the documents and utilities in our database that we feel are helpful for beginners just like you. It doesn't matter if you're going to try and do translations, graphical hacks, or level hacks, you really need the same fundamental knowledge for any kind of ROMhacking. This section will try and help clarify these things for you. What should you be looking for? What do you need? Where do you start? We were just playing games more slowly and had no reason to know there was any difference back then haha.Įdit: I've just ordered a Super Famicom and a compatible power supply to use in the UK.So, you want to be a ROMhacker? If you're reading this, you're probably overwhelmed at the large number of utilities and documents available on this site. Some games were modified for PAL but usually not. That was a reason for the long delay before they arrived here and why there was a market for import games and adapter cartridges. Most SNES games were modified before their PAL release.

I think it's time to get on Ebay and buy a Super Famicom console.Īs for the differences between the USA/Japanese version of Super Mario World compared to the PAL release, there must be speed differences which were altered in the code to make it play correctly. The old method for playing NTSC import games was to use a Universal Adapter cartridge on a PAL console (which I do) but it doesn't fix the speed issue. People in PAL regions need a console that will play NTSC games at the correct speed or just use an emulator. I'm not butchering my 30 year old SNES haha.

I'd be interested to see what people's thoughts are of my 'speed up Mario only' suggestion. I'm guessing fixing all that too would mean patching every other moving item and enemy which may not be possible, except maybe for vanilla hacks that don't change any values of how items and enemies behave.

Hacks are playable and still enjoyable.Īs a non-programming layman, my solution for someone that wants to 'fix' the biggest PAL problem would be to make a patch for Mario (the character) to play at his faster PAL speed.

The sluggishness of everything else (enemies etc.) isn't so noticeable.

The most noticeable gameplay difference is that Mario plays slower, takes longer to get to full speed when running. Audio plays at the same tempo when playing an NTSC version on PAL (I tested) which causes certain audio to be out of sync. So, the PAL version of SMW has the game speed cranked up to accommodate for the game slowdown. It will always be an issue for people in PAL regions wanting to play hacks on real hardware and means a lot of people won't get to enjoy Mario hacks 'properly' this way unless there's some kind of fix. I can see I'm not the first person asking the same question (it was also asked here in 2016: ). I've hit the same issue of slower gameplay when playing the Mario World hacks on PAL hardware.
