Recently I decided to start learning the C# programming language since I’m way behind the times and only program in C anymore. So to kick off my foray into the language, I started by doing some EarthBound hacking with it! What I’ve done is “reshuffle” lots of stuff in the game and introduced a lot of random changes too, with stats, actions, and more. A few days ago I showed...Read More »

H.S has put together another map for the EarthBound Zero remake hack, this time it’s the area north of Reindeer, which includes the house with the old man’s dentures nearby. Here’s a look at what H.S has: Because EarthBound maps have to be much smaller than EarthBound Zero maps, some simplifying and streamlining is always necessary. For reference, here’s the same area in t...Read More »

A lot of gamers might not realize this, but especially well-designed video games can often be played by sound alone. For example, PoeTrader met a blind kid who was an expert at Pokemon – the sound each Pokemon makes helps a lot in knowing what’s going on in the game. There’s also this famous blind player: Anyway, a few years ago, a blind MOTHER fan by the name of stirlock posted...Read More »

About five years ago, after I first started my now-halted EarthBound Zero remake hack, I wound up modifying some of my tools to dump all the text out of EarthBound for easy-viewing. I then went on to try to turn it into a tool to let people translate the game. Although none of the above turned out so well (and I’ve since abandoned the translation tool, so please don’t use it, it’...Read More »

I was browsing the EarthBound Zero remake hack thread earlier and saw that H.S recently posted a new map – this time for Ellay/Valentine, which is the final town in the game. Here’s what it looks like: (click for full size) For reference, here’s what it looks like in the original NES/Famicom version: (click for full size) I’ll never stop saying it – EarthBound map h...Read More »

There’s a new video up of the EarthBound Zero remake hack that’s in progress. It’s still extremely rough and mostly placeholder stuff for now, but you can see things slowly coming together. Here’s what H.S says about this video: EarthBound Zero has the Big Bag item, which restores the same amount of HP as a Magic Herb, and has 30 uses (or charges, if you will). The problem ...Read More »

Whenever I play EarthBound, I always avoid getting Lucky Sandwiches since they’re pretty meh and I don’t like gambling with limited inventory space. But I’ve never really known how these Lucky Sandwiches actually work – all I knew was that they have random effects. A few years ago some skilled hackers dug into the ROM and found out a bunch of technical stuff, including how ...Read More »

Awesome EarthBound Hacker H.S posted some new maps for the EarthBound Zero remake hack a while ago. Here they are! Thanksgiving / Merrysville: Halloween / Spookane: Holy Loly Mountain / Mt. Itoi: As I’ve said many a time, hacking EarthBound is really tough – and hacking maps is one of THE toughest things to do.

The final battle in EarthBound Zero works in a kind of strange way, and people often asked how it’d be possible to implement it in the EarthBound Zero remake hack. Well, H.S. and Turtles have combined their powers to get the basic framework up and running! All the graphics, text, music, background stuff, etc. is all temporary, so don’t mind that. The big thing here is that the scripti...Read More »
