B3313: Unabandoned
vA2 Anniversary Editionby Unabandoned Team · December 24, 2024
What's new in vA2 Anniversary Edition
A modified version of A2 that has been optimized for console compatibility among several other tweaks. • The patched ROM has been compressed to 48MB from the original 96MB using MIO0 compression, which is what the original game used. As most N64 flashcarts have a 64MB file size limit for ROMs, the game is now able run on console using a flashcart. The game's day/night system works as intended on flashcarts with RTC support. If a flashcart does not have RTC support, the game will always be in daytime. The player can use the Yellow Switch to change day to night. • Additionally, the reduced ROM size makes the game natively bootable on essentially all N64 emulators. Previously, some emulators had issues booting the game because the ROM size was above 64MB, requiring modifications to the emulator source code in order to work. • Many areas have had their geometry optimized to run better on console and emulators on older systems. • Non-painting levels will now spawn Mario/Luigi near the level entrance when dying or collecting a star, a feature backported from the future A3 version. • Various crashes and bugs exclusive to console have been fixed, including trapdoors, Angry Sun, and various music bugs. • Added Haunted Maze Cave (Only accessible with external programs like Star Display). • Changed the sign text in The Void. • The Bob-omb buddy message in Orange Hall has been slightly changed. • The "FUCK" texture that held painting data has been removed. Such instances of painting data now display no texture at all. • Other fixes include the grand star warp, PV balancing, and a fixed star animation.
Description
Hack based on the Internal Plexus concept, featuring scrapped features and stages from the beta and the SM64 iceberg, mixed and matched together to create uncanny experiences. Credit goes to ChrisRLillo for creating the original B3313, and the countless contributors that assisted with making this hack a reality. This is an unofficial continuation ('unabandonment') by major contributors from before the abandonment, released long before Chris' 1.0.* versions. It fixes all of the star IDs and tweaks the overall gameplay experience based on player feedback as well as lore consistency. Full list of contributors: https://wiki.b3313.org/wiki/List_of_B3313_Contributors If any UA developers want to be added to this author list specifically as well, leave a comment here. A2 Anniversary Edition will just run with no complications. Previous ROMs are 96 MB and will only run with Parallel Launcher's ParallelN64 core (not RetroArch's), RMG, or custom builds of Mupen swapping a single line of code.
