Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
This hack was much longer, than I would have thought at first :p
It is done, thank you for the great challenge
The block dungeon was the most difficult part for me for sure. There is one thing I want to say about the final dungeon however, which I'm sure you've heard from others as well:
There is one thing I'm curious about, I think I might have missed a path and since the final dungeon was so long, I don't really want to and know how to get back to that part fast...
Oh and another thing: I don't remember ever getting to the teleporter on the right in the very first room of the rabbit hole, where you take the zickzack path and end up at the teleporter on the left. Did I miss something there?
It is done, thank you for the great challenge

- Spoiler:
- Did the rooms with the invisible paths + Hammer-thingys really have to be? It was a good thing I'm really paranoid about those being around when I can't find a direct path, I just grab everything. The "can't grab" animation gives them away at least

- Spoiler:
- There is a point where the I remember the path splitting. You have a choice to jump to the left or right and then proceed via a bombable wall. I realized too late, that I couldn't go back and simply jumped left. Is my memory playing tricks or me or is there another path? If so, would it have been different?

Nice, that you could find motivation in them.Before I forget, your messages in the Block Puzzle Dungeon were great as well as being motivating for to go on.
Congratulations on solving the game. And playing obviosly. Note: not everyone is capable of solving this game.It is done, thank you for the great challenge
I believe this to be the most unattractive part of the dungeon.Did the rooms with the invisible paths + Hammer-thingys really have to be?
There is only one path actually, the other path is a dead end.There is a point where the I remember the path splitting. You have a choice to jump to the left or right and then proceed via a bombable wall. I realized too late, that I couldn't go back and simply jumped left. Is my memory playing tricks or me or is there another path? If so, would it have been different?
Nothing there. If you think about it, Alttp doesn't allow to warp to 2 different rooms from one single room. So it doesn't matter which warp you take. Since the right one would be a little more beneficial regarding the advancement in the next room, it was blocked.Oh and another thing: I don't remember ever getting to the teleporter on the right in the very first room of the rabbit hole, where you take the zickzack path and end up at the teleporter on the left.

Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
Thank you Puzzledude for your work. I just started the third (block) dungeon and I am enjoying this part of the game a lot.
I am using Linux and after your new release I got it up and running quite easily with Snes9x (current GTK3 development version in Github) and by using .zip extension. I also tried renaming moegami's Oracle of Secrets to .zip and got that running too, so I have lot of playing ahead of me. Good job!

Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
Yes, that's why I made a new release, since I didn't want to let the Linux and Mac users down, and the users who would prefer to play it on Wii. So I hope now the game is much more available. Also: I could obviously not test it on Linux, but it should be fine, since there is only one way you run/emulate SNES, no matter the device.lidar wrote:I am using Linux and after your new release I got it up and running quite easily with Snes9x (current GTK3 development version in Github) and by using .zip extension.

I hope the developers of flash carts and clone snes consoles will also realize to implement what Snes9x is emulating.
Regarding Oracle of secrets Demo - yes I forgot, this is actually mapped the same way, Lol. So, smart move you made there.

Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
Nice, Erock.
That first part with patching is so totaly recomended to watch for all the guys on Romhacking, who apparently have problems with that. That's how you start and play the game.
Of course I also made an update, which allows you to play on various emus listed in the updated Readme. But this "old strategy" (which you are using in the video) works as well, as you can see.
Also: you started with the most difficult dungeon - interesting.
That "hidden" block is really not hidden. You pushed it to that position in 1:02:26 and probably forgot about it. It is logical though, that you can not have one space only to proceed up with this game design, you need at least two.
Regarding the beta. I made the beta testing myself, which maybe was a mistake, since it would be better to bring the beta out to everyone. But you know past decisions are in the past. All the small problems remaining will probably remain there indefinitely (similar like in PW and GoW, which also have remaining bugs still, despite released and finished).

Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
Actually if you want to make a game that cart makers can't reproduce easily. Here are some options.
1) Force your game to use the SA-1 chip
SMW already had this coded and there is no flash cart or any other way to put this on a cart other than destroying an existing game with SA-1 chip inside.
2) Force your game to use MSU1 music
If they put it on a cart it won't have any music. How lame is that. Not many people would like to play a game without music when otherwise they could.

Unless it has music like Persona 3

Just finished the hack. Thank you for the challenge. I especially enjoyed the last two dungeons. No problems whatsoever with the Linux+GTK3 version of Snes9x.
I actually managed to do the both things Conn mentioned a couple of pages back: I arrived to Helmasaur room from the top through the pit dungeon and I also accidentally threw the goldstar to the pond (item selection dialog showed it as a blank square - fairy gave it back as normal bombs). Luckily it was a non-breaking bug, because I didn't need it anymore after that as I only had the final battle left.

Congratulations on solving the game. It is interesting how many players are capable of solving it, despite it being non conventional.

Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
Congratulations lidar for the IQ of 130 I didn't have so much, at least I had to ask Puzz 5 times in total ^^
Any person with only a bit knowledge of ASM can surely reverse the changes which the cart-makers most probably possess. I know that "stealing" the intellectual property of other people and making profit through it is disgusting, but there's little we can do. In the end the snes era is dead and I think only few people will buy a cartridge in a time when they only have to spend little more money for buying a sd2snes.
If you want the best working protection think about PW: It's (almost?) impossible to get through the game without cheating and savestates

Puzzledude wrote:Yes, that's it. You solve everything with these 3 blocks.I see 2 water-trailing blocks and one normal.
This is just a Hint, not the entire solution:
- Spoiler:
Hint: concentrate on the global right side first. See the "smart" position of the right water block, which should go only 2 times down to cut the fence, but it can never get there taking this path - so it needs to take a global-circle path. The other one needs to go onto the vertical fence, while the primary (normal) block cuts the most lower horizontal fence - this should get you started.
I'm enjoying the hack so far, but I'm totally stuck on this very puzzle and your hint still just isn't making this click for me.
I think what you are saying is that the right water block needs to go all the way around the level, so it can be pushed down on the right fence... right? No matter how many times I try I just can't seem to find a way to make it around w/o getting stuck

Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
Yes, the block needs to go around and this is doable making standard double moves with the water block and then undoing the water with the regular block. Of course you need to be careful not to bring the block to close to the vertical wall.I think what you are saying is that the right water block needs to go all the way around the level, so it can be pushed down on the right fence... right?

Nice, just to tell you, the IQ uses maximum room header possible for all rooms. So using this Exlorom hex-gluing method, you never have room header issues.Arnachy69 wrote:Hey Puzzle,

Re: Zelda3 IQ test grand release
Exlorom is incompatible with Wad. But you still can play the game on Wii using the Snes9x GX emulator (the result would be similar as playing on Wad, using Homebrew).

Does it have something to do with the room mentioning CALADIA?
