That almost sounds to me like some key is stuck. Try pressing and releasing all the modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Windows, Menu) on both sides of the keyboard. Separately, of course, not all at once!

So, I could've sworn there was already a thread about Newer here... but I guess I'm getting mixed up with another board :p Better late than never, anyhow!


Newer is a full hack to NSMBW that aims to feel like an official sequel to the game, while not being made by Nintendo. It was worked on from December 2009 to June 2013 by me and a bunch of other people.

Some features:
  • 128 levels, over 9 worlds plus various secret areas
  • SMW-style connected world map (and lots of other SMW throwbacks)
  • New enemies, bosses, tilesets, backgrounds, music, menus, ...
  • Hammer Suit from SMB3
  • 1-4 players supported
  • I worked my butt off on this, that means it must be great (right?)
  • Took so long to develop that it actually came out *after* Nintendo's sequel


Some screenshots (click to enlarge):


If you're still curious, there's a trailer video, a bunch more screenshots, and previews of worlds 1, 2 and A on the website. There's also tons of LPs on YouTube (or so I'm told). But playing it is more fun, right? :p

Check it out: http://newerteam.com

The official download works with Riivolution (a homebrew app that allows you to apply game patches while running the game off a real disc). There may also be ways to get it running if you can't use that for whatever reason...

The code behind this is now open-source too, including the map editor, game code patches and other tools: http://github.com/Treeki/NewerSMBW

Look at how original I am! I'm jumping on this bandwagon, just a year and a half late.

It's been years since I last participated in one of these, heh.


Ask me whatever and I'll try to answer it :D

So, if you had 3.5 years to work on something other than NSMB, what would it be? Assuming NSMB never came out and you found something else to work on...

That's an... interesting question. Huh.

It's actually pretty hard to say because I've changed so much since 2009-- I have no idea what I'd have got into working on. Maybe I'd have found another game to hack... or maybe I'd have come up with something totally different.

I've been sitting here for the past 10 minutes with this reply page open, trying to think of something... and I just can't come up with anything. So I'm gonna go with the utterly boring answer of "I'd be hacking something else".

Have you ever used a system with a 640x480 screen resolution?
Not for the past 12 years, but yes.

The first computer I ever used (in 1998) had a 15-inch CRT at 640x480. I think it could actually do up to 1024x768, but the computer was shared with my mom and she thought anything bigger than 640x480 made things too small.


And nowadays we have 4.something-inch displays at 1920x1080 in phones. That's over 9 times the PPI of the aforementioned configuration. Isn't modern technology crazy?!

Not at the moment.

Do you feel that the release of Newer can help create an amazing NSMBWii hacking scene?
Uhhh.

No.

I just released the Newer source code a few days ago. I was hoping it would help push things a bit further. Unfortunately, it... doesn't :(

Dat layout. Does Acmlmboard look that old nowadays?
It's not old. It uses HTML 2.0, the pinnacle of modern technology on the WWW!

If someone wanted you to post Newer at Board2, how much would them have to pay for that? :P

I'd probably do it for a pretty small amount. I mean, logging in and copy and pasting a post into the new thread box is not exactly the most difficult thing ever.

Did you ever use Netscape as your main browser?
I think I did at some point in the early 2000s. I remember Netscape 6 being released, and never being able to use it because it was ridiculously crashy... but I did like using NS4, so there's that.

Serious question tiem

I've a computer here that I am supposed to install Linux on (because Windows has "weird performance hits that boggle down the machine completely..."). I've attempted to use the SSD as a cache as in the previous configuration, but of course support for that is brand new so finding distributions that actually do have the newest kernel is next to impossible and even if, trying to get it to work is... yeah.

So I've been told to try it without the SSD. Do you think it's a good idea, or will performance take a too hard hit? This thing is supposed to serve as a virtualization server, so...
Hm... I admittedly haven't really dealt with SSD caching. Or virtualisation servers >>;; so I'm not quite sure how qualified I am to answer that.

I'm running Arch Linux on a computer with no SSD right now (though I'm considering getting one at some point in the future), and performance is... okay. Could definitely be better. But it's a three year old computer, my hard drives are full of junk, and I only have 4GB RAM...


Arch does have the latest kernel, and it's a pretty good distro if you're willing to get your hands a bit dirty, but I... don't know if I would recommend it in this case-- it kind of requires you to be an active sysadmin and update often and all that and sometimes fix issues if they come up.

Eh... last time I had my friend install the server via ssh (woo for ultra-laziness), and at the end he had the problem that some kind of /sys/ folder didn't create and couldn't be manually created either, so he kind of hit a roadblock there.

Now I've been wanting to try it myself. Who knows if I will fare better.
... ouch.

In that case, I'd probably give it a shot in a VM first just to test my procedures - that's how I became comfortable enough with Arch to install it as my main OS.

(I even managed to get it dual-booting with Windows without nuking anything-- I went as far as setting up an equivalent setup inside my VM, including a Windows install, so I could check I was doing everything right. Over-the-top? Maybe a bit...)

Film or digital? (ever shot a film camera before? :P)
Digital. Don't think I have... maybe once or twice when I was a lot younger.

Should I know you more than I already do right now, or are you the type of person who I wouldn't want to know too much about?
I'm... not sure. I like to think I'm not a terrible person. I am kinda boring though.

What do you use as your browser homepage?
I have Chromium set to remember the tabs I last had open, but if I didn't have any open in my last session, I just get the New Tab page. There's no one site I like enough to use as my homepage.

I use LastPass for storing passwords.

It has a neat (if slightly clunky) browser extension that handles generating/retrieving/saving passwords, and everything is stored encrypted in ~~the cloud~~ (lol). So.. I have one really long passphrase I've memorised which gets me access to every password I need, and I can log in from anywhere and look one up if I need it.

It's much more secure than my old method, where I would use one of about 3 standard passwords in most places (depending on the security I required), and some things had really long passwords I stored in a file.

Now there's no single point of failure - if something goes wrong with my computer, I don't lose all my passwords - and I also use different, totally random, passwords for everything. It's quite nice.

I'm probably the only person here who has both types of plugs, because of where I live. We have British outlets (with switches!!!11) but a lot of the cables we have have European plugs on the ends, which is... fun to deal with.

I have a rather amusing setup next to my computer right now: An outlet with two sockets. One has my computer connected directly to it; the other has an European power strip connected using a 2-pin to 3-pin adapter.

Said power strip has the following connected:
- European tablet charger
- European AC cable for monitor
- British 3DS charger, using adapter
- British powerline network adapter, using adapter

And yet it all works. Somehow.

I'd post a picture, but I'm lazy >_> <_<
