I'm Kles. I never really even played F-Zero X much until the first editor came around. Totally loved it. Willing to help. I can't work on any technical aspects but I should be able to assist on the outside work. F-Zero X Knowledge: 1. Sorry, I just can't tell you too much about the depth of this game. I never really played it on the 64 at all so it's just not what I know well. I'm interested though, and willing to learn. Programming: 1. I hate it. I hate programming a lot. ROM hacking: 2. I can find out the basics, how to exploit them and make minor adjustments, but I don't think I'd be able to re-code anything. Other skills: I have a big fat mouth and even people who dislike me because I tend to be a bitch still like me because I'm apparently just generally really good to be around. I'm good with people, apparently! I wouldn't call myself a leader but I have a good sense of people and how they act (basic human psychology is a talent of mine), so I think I could help there. I'm also pretty good at grabbing attention. I know a bunch of people in various places so I should be able to attract attention towards the project. I just know how to Get Stuff Done™. ____________________ ( ﾟ³ﾟ)三№♥

Intro. Yes, yes, I am, of course, Madman200. ...should've capped the second m. Anyways, I have my own way of thinking, and I know nobody who thinks in the way that I do. Overly complex and understood by myself only sometimes. F-Zero X IQ = 4 I got the game on the Wii (Legal), and had a bit of a time with it. Unfortunately, I never did get into advanced techniques, and either turned into a pinball on turning sections, or fell off on that one multi-segment track in the third cup. I've played all 4 modes, so I know how they want to work...but I never did like the Death track. Programmng Skill = 1 I would have put 0, but you stated 1 to 5 only. Most, if not all, programming languages are as foreign as Hylian to me, but I did use a TI-86 Calculator's program mode to make a few programs. Example: Counting program where you specify where to start and how much to add each time ROH Macking Skill = 1 The only actual hacking I've done with ROMs is using other people's programs to mess around with the insides the way the program was intended to do it. And that doesn't count, does it? I tried to use a HEX Editor once...but I couldn't understand it as well as I understood the ROM addresses that I had. Something like...00######:00 I think. As for the other skills, I tend to like gimmicking. Remember Block Tool for SMW? I once put the Music Blocks (that change the music when touched) inside a cave, to where it would change from cave music to water music once you got to the water, and to change back if you returned. Some other gimmicking is this editable coding for the stats of Mario Kart DS in the kart you're using...Top Speed, Acceleration, Off-Road 1 Speed, Average Speed...there's quite an amount of adjust on it. Punch line is...there is no punch line. Or a fork. Or a knife. Or a table to put the spoon on. He should've took more than just that spoon...(That's why there is no spoon) ____________________ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Posts = 135 Age = 75 Lv 15 Exp 13655 / 16384 LvExp 584 / 3313 (17.6%) PostExp = 151 ExpTime = 959.051

My name is prominently displayed at the top of this post. I'm a computer science major that likes to play games. The closest I've ever come to ROM hacking in my life if opening SMW in Lunar Magic and editing level 105. F-Zero X IQ: 1.5 I never owned a physical copy of the game; I've only emulated it. I haven't even emulated it that much. I've raced quite a few times, but that's about it. I can't say I'm terribly knowledgeable about the different game modes or how the game's physics work. Programming Skill: 2.5 Something tells me this editor won't be written in PHP or TI-83+ BASIC, which are the two programming languages I am comfortable with. With that being said, I am eager to learn pretty much any language we choose (lolcode, anyone?) and I consider myself an extremely fast learner when it comes to programming. ROM hacking skill: 1 I would put 0 if it was an option. I have never opened up a ROM in a hex editor in my life, and all I know about ROMs is that they have these things called headers and then a bunch of other stuff. Other skills: Hmm... I think I'm pretty good at completing things by a deadline. I have a fair amount of HTML knowledge, though nothing spectacular. I also like image/video/audio editing, although I can't say I'm terribly skilled at it. ____________________ Board2 | Justus League 2 | Send PM Choose layout color: Dark Purple | Blue | Purple | Red | Orange | Yellow | Green | Dark Blue

Hello. My name is smkdan and while I am quite fond of smk I have an interest in the F-Zero series. I own the cart on the 64 and completed the cups on master difficulty after some persistence. F-Zero X IQ: 4 I think I'm pretty good at the game, enough to drift for the speed boost and to know that miserable handling is really a blessing. I know nothing about the game's internals, though. Programming Skill: 3 I know what goes into making a level editor, even though I've never actually made one myself. I know enough about C, but that's really all I know. The rest of my programming knowledge is in ASM with a few CPUs. My first 'meaningful' C program suitably involved a CPU emulator. ROM hacking skill: 5 I've 'reprogrammed my own routines', so I think I'll give myself that 5. All those routines were with the SNES, though, so the 64 is pretty foreign to me.

F-Zero: 1/5 - I think I recall opening it up in project 64 and playing it a bit but not much. Programming: 2/5 - I know the basics of C but I'm not very well practiced. I made Space Invaders using C and SDL. I know QBASIC fairly well but that's pretty useless. ROM Hacking: 1/5 - I've used level editors before. I'm fairly decent finding RAM addresses using cheat search functions and I've poked around with hex editors but never accomplished anything. Other than that, I can sorta do graphics but not fantastic at it.

My personal stats: Introduction: My name is Philippe Brodier, I' m a long time F-zero fan, F-Zero X is, by far, my favorite. I bought the PAL game back in November 1998 then the Japanese version in early 2000 ( I think ). I get the Nintendo 64DD in december 2004 with my first expansion kit and I bought several of them later. I am on FZX fan site since 2003 with F-Zero central and then on MFO, I shared more than 200 videos of FZX custom tracks on youtube. My english is not really good, I' m french. F-Zero X Knowledge: 5 I truly almost totally finished F-Zero X, I explain, I won each cup in each difficulty with every ship on the pal game then I finished the Japanese version and the two cups from the expansion kit the same way but only on master difficulty, this way I was able to see the real FZX ending with Mr Ead dancing. I don' t know if other people did it before me. I think I can say that I am an advanced player who knows most of the technics, I did beat all the Staff ghosts and I have a world record on Sand Ocean 3, an expansion kit track. I built around 300 tracks on the expansion kits and nearly half of them with the F-Zero Execution project. I know both the expansion kit and the Execution Project very well as a user. Programming Proficiency: 1 I never programed anything, I think I can learn basic stuff, the most complicated thing I did is using Mugen well. ROM Hacking Proficiency: 1 Same problem, I never did that ... Other skills : I' am a verifier, I check video quality of Beta Digital ( or HD ) tapes for TV and DVD, I use to be patient and very concentrate to do that during 8 hours every day. I have video montage knowledge and a Pinnacle PCI 500 + tools. I have the time to help, I am determinate and I can learn. I really want to be a part of this project. I hope I can be usefull.

I'm Metal Knuckles. If you're part of the Sonic ROM Hacking scene, you've probably had to deal with me at some point. Nice guy, with a bit of ever-present sarcasm. I also detest people with lackluster typing skills. F-Zero X : 3 While I've owned the game since it came out, my play time on it has been limited to unlocking all the features and then playing it occasionally with friends. I won't consider myself so daft however as to not know what people are talking about when refering to different parts of the game. Programming: 2+ I currently only know some C++ and Hex editing, so it probably wouldn't be to difficult and start learning C. However, the 2+ is meant to represent more knowledge being gained as the project goes on. I'm in a Bachelor's program for Game Programming right now, and I'll be learning more programming as I go along. ROM Hacking: 2 I have experience messing around in hex editors for multiple platforms (GBA, SNES, GENS, GB), as well as using tile editors for said platforms. I don't imagine myself anywhere near being able to decompress mysterious formats, however. Other: 5 Graphics editing and sexual favors.

hi, Royal is here, if u look im new around here, but i know a bit of moding, i like mod every kind of game, halo2, 007, mario, F-Zero X... F-Zero X: 4 i play this game in Nintendo64 and in emulator, i finished it in both, i can say im good in game, but theres time i don't so i will need go back and play to go back to expert... Programming: 2 i think i sucks in programing, but i know a bit of it, but i hate HEX... ROM Hacking: 5 well all i can say is that i love ROM hacking! im working in 2 ROMs hacking these days (007G and SM64), and i think i going good, i finished some mods in 007 and send then to goldeneye vault and the sm64 i fixing some bugs. Other: 4 Re-skining, and re-modeling, im good in then, i don't use these skils in ROMs, i prefer spend my time Re-skining in halo 2 maps.... ____________________

	A bit of a clarification here. Not to brush off anyone's particular skills, but when I said "ROM Hacking" what I had in mind was specifically picking apart a ROM to see how it works. Using tools to modify ROMs is not what I intended to suggest as ROM hacking.
