Hello everyone :) I've been doing more research on how to implement scrolling on my NES-like XNA project, and this has led me to the game Metroid. http://metroid-database.com/m1/lvldata.php In theory - I have yet to program them but have the data marked up and documented - my maps would run just lik...

I actually like that effect hahahaha.

I'm also a bad programmer. Lol.
So I'm still stumped on how they enabled collisions though. Does anyone know how they did it in the SMB3 Big Bass levels, since that would be a similar effect?

Ok, that makes sense. Different things. I've just always wondered how old games just did this type of stuff, as I too am a programmer. I'm actually just working within C# on an 'emulator' type system where I can develop a game that would marginally look like an NES game and I'm just tryin to figure ...

Anyway, I know that with various mappers, you can extend the capabilities of the N...
