A quick update...

I was testing out some of the newer tracks I added to the CD Player when I got to thinking if this would work in-battle. So I started up Snes9x and tried it out, but it didn't work. I started up PK Hack and figured out why it didn't work, the CD Player was set to be a "Key Item" so I changed it to an "Inedible Food Item" and now it works great in-battle. Check out the video down below for a sample.

Trying out new things...

Sorry for the long wait between posts, but my internet was down for a couple days and I've been working on a little control code project for my hack. Its for a new item I made called a CD Player, it allows you to change the music you're listening to while you wander around exploring Earthbound. It works best when your in a wide open space, because when you go through a door it will change back to the music for that map sector. It's not a big deal, I mainly made it so you can listen to any music track anytime you want. Here's a little preview video of the CD Player in action.

When the CD Player is complete I will make an IPS patch for it so you people can use it with a clean Earthbound rom. It shouldn't take me very long, expect an IPS no later than tomorrow, but I should get it done today.

Quite a bit of progress...

This post was supposed to be my WIP to-do list, well unfortunately I left my notebook that has the list in it at work, so this will be an update on the current progress to date.

1. Ness' sprite changed
   
2. Buzz Buzz sprite changed
3. Captain Strong sprite changed
4. Meteor sprite changed
5. Completely new NPC sprite
6. Lier X. Agerate's sprite changed
7. Ness' Mom's sprite changed
8. Landscape of Northern Onett "drastically changed"
9. Onett now called Oceanside
10. "Sharks" Changed to "The Arcade Ninjas"
11. Completely renamed items, about 75% complete
12. Created several pieces of graffiti that will be plastered in various spots, only implemented one so far.
13. Altered the red truck sprite with a different advertisement on the side.
14. Implemented new window border design, about 33% complete.
15. All new logo screens, all 3 replaced.
    

There's probably more changes that I'm forgetting right now but these are the major ones. "Onett/Oceanside should be complete in a week or two and a demo IPS patch will follow, so keep your eyes peeled. Tomorrow I should be posting the to-do list for the changes I'm doing to Onett/Oceanside.

Also any ideas for potential new graffiti for the game would be appreciated, but please make it Earthbound or Starmen.net related.

Here's a preview video of the game..this is a W.I.P. mind you, it doesn't show the new monsters or items.
