Super Mario 64 2600

[+atari2600land]

I don't think I've made a topic for this game yet, so here goes, and I apologize if there is one already (I checked and there wasn't, but I might have missed it)

So, I'm working on a title screen and was just wondering if there was a way to get rid of the white line at the bottom. I tried the score background trick even though there is no score, and I tried COLUBK=$82, but nothing seems to work. Other than that, I'm having the game be good so far.

I think the very top playfield row has to be black. I think that's the trick I used for MMSBC.

 

Oh, and the castle moving towards you and moving away effect is RAD. Nice work!

ROTFLMAO! This is all kinds of awesome.

[+atari2600land]

Thanks.

Maybe it's the fact I am using a modified 2600basic.h and std_kernel.h file, the ones I found in the player0/player1 which comes before the other thread. I do know that at the title screen, COLUBK=the one-pixel line above Mario's head.

So, does this mean my suggestion didn't work?

No, it didn't.

[+atari2600land]

I fixed it, but I had to change a few things in order to do so.

Share your secrets dawg! It's not good if we keep stumbling over the same problem and reinvent the solution each time

[+atari2600land]

All I did was delete one line and moved everything else up 1 line (8 pixels.)

I'm back working on this again. Sprybug's Zippy demo got me inspired. There may be some bugs, but it is playable. Worked on it for like 5 hours total since last night.

Bugs work themselves out. You've got the edge on telling stories in your games! Plim is a PRIME example.

 

Keep doing what you do!

[+atari2600land]

Continuing work on this again. I don't think Nintendo should care since I'm not going to sell the game when I'm finished. Anyway, here's the latest binary file.

I don't really understand what happens to me after I get the coin in world 1. I seem to get reset after colliding with the leftmost border.

 

Is that just the end of the current build?

[+atari2600land]

All there is to do in level 1 is get the coin and stomp on the goomba. After that, there's nothing to do except walk around.

[+atari2600land]

Go to the left after you get the coin. If you go far enough, you'll see something new.

You can go left some more. Plus, I disabled jumping when up or down is pressed. It was interfering the horizontal wall and doing strange stuff if you pressed jump + up or jump + down when you collide with the wall.

pretty cool... an interesting interpretation of the original game

[+atari2600land]

So I found out while testing on my Harmony cart that the screen bounces at the horizontal wall. I think I solved the problem, but the screen still jitters a little bit sometimes when you move around on the screen and you're at it. I shortened the length of the wall.

I worked on this for several hours again. Mario can move past the horizontal wall and he'll find an inactive Bob-Omb waiting for him. I freed up some room so I have 694 bytes left to finish level 1. After the Bob-Omb, I plan to put in a star. Once Mario gets the star, he can go in the second door of the three doors. But that's still a long ways away to program that. Level 2 will be a snow land (I forget what it's called in Super Mario 64.)

sm642600v23.bas.bin

[+atari2600land]

Well, I worked on this again while hearing the loud booms of fireworks. You must pick up the Bob-Omb, which is very much now active, and throw it to get the star. Not pressing fire and touching the Bob-Omb transports you to the beginning of the level. But you still can't go into any of the doors except the first one.

Thanks!

Just a quick update. Version 25 has a little tune play once you grab the star. I also discovered that you can move after grabbing the star. You can still move, but the wall has been removed from the level 1 painting room in the castle once the game takes you back there.

Very cute start. I love the music!

[+atari2600land]

Wow it has been a while! I added some animation to Mario and goomba. The goomba in level 1 is way more hyper than he used to be. I also attempted to fix some bugs, so if you run into any, let me know.
