Mario Paint
Does Mario Paint just not run at all, or is it that you can't move the cursor? I believe the Fairlight trainer lets you move the cursor with the standard Super NES controller. --Tepples 22:34, 10 June 2006 (EDT)
RE: Mario Paint
Well, I BELIEVED that it wouldn't boot at all, given the black screen that came up. As it turns out, my SMC rom IS the Fairlight trainer, or at least one variant of it. It requires you to select the input method (mouse or joystick) and then select the Start option and hit A or B before it will start the game. I went out and downloaded a straight copy of the Mario Paint rom. It actually does boot in Snezziboy, but like you said, the mouse doesn't move. Then I tried mimicking the actions I would need to take to boot the rom in ZSNES. I managed to get it to boot once, although it was without joystick support, and I was unable to reproduce it.
I have just now downloaded about 6 various versions of Mario Paint that claim to work with the joystick. I just need one that works passively, without requiring input from the user before starting Mario Paint. I'm testing them now.
Okay, I've gotten 4 that will successfully boot under Snezziboy. However, the button placement seems wrong. It does appear to be functioning almost normally however.
BS Mario Paint - 1-11 (J).smc
BS Mario Paint - 6-4 (J).smc
Mario Paint (JU) [h1] (Joystick).smc
Mario Paint (JU) [h6] (Joystick).smc
Thanks for bringing this to attention. I wouldn't have given a second thought to the whole matter otherwise.

P.S. what exactly was I supposed to click on in order to make this post? I looked around, and ended up clicking on the little plus sign next to the "edit" tab.
- To reply, click "edit" and then put a
:in front of your reply. See also the MediaWiki help file. And to sign your comments, type--~~~~. --Tepples 10:35, 11 June 2006 (EDT)- Okay, thank you for the help. I believe I get it now. I realize I probably should have checked the MediaWiki first, so thank you for your patience. --Dantheman 12:12, 11 June 2006 (EDT)
All Stars + article size concerns
I've got a couple of concerns here. For one thing, the snezzi.dat settings for both of the Super Mario All Stars games, as well as Chrono Trigger somewhat, stretch the page because of their length. However, inserting line breaks would surely screw up the patches, wouldn't it?
In addition, when editing, I get this message: "WARNING: This page is 31 kilobytes long; some browsers may have problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please consider breaking the page into smaller sections."
Should we break it into smaller sections? If so, how? What should be on each page? Perhaps the Additional Notes could have their own page...
Any suggestions? --Dantheman 17:13, 17 June 2006 (EDT)
- I have no idea what to do about the page widening to be honest. It seems that the wiki is made to handle it somewhat though, because the rest of the text isn't widened, so it's still readable, so maybe it's not that much of an issue?
- It already is broken up into smaller sections. Try going down to "The Chart" headline for example, and press the little [edit] link to the right there and the warning message doesn't appear. It's only when you try to edit the entire article at once using the edit tab at the top that the warning appears. --Titney 18:59, 17 June 2006 (EDT)
Suggestion: separate snezzi dat page
I just had a brain storm (brain fart?) and realised it would be a good idea to make a separate page with just the variables in snezzi.dat format encased in pre tags, so it could just be copied and pasted into a local plaintext file for use. This would make it easier for the end users to just copy all the known vars at once and not have to copy them one by one, and it would also take care of the page widening issues in this article. If you want I can start a little template page to show what I mean.
- That DOES sound like a good idea, although I'm not quite sure how it would be done. A template page would be great. --Dantheman 13:30, 27 June 2006 (EDT)
- Heh, just realised I forgot to sign that... Well, here's a quicky example page I threw together with just a few variables to show how it works: Snezzi dat. The page is pretty badly widened, but since it's a separate page it doesn't cause any harm. --Titney 14:48, 27 June 2006 (EDT)
- Hey, if it works, it works. I just finished copying and pasting the rest of the patches into the new page, and then I took all the patches out of the compatibility list page. I would say that this was a very good idea. Thanks Titney! --Dantheman 16:01, 27 June 2006 (EDT)
- Yeah, that worked out nicely. :D The compatibility list is clearer to read now, and the variables are easier to copy and paste from the separate page. --Titney 17:21, 27 June 2006 (EDT)
