Version 3.7 of Editroid is available. You can get it at Romhacking.net’s page for Editroid. Version 3.7 adds support for multiple ASM files to manage more complex ASM hacks.

A new version of Editroid has been released with some bug fixes (namely a bug that prevented certain screen-load code from running). Grab it from the RHDN Editroid page. Everything should work the same as Editroid 3.5, except fewer bugs.
ASM Hack: Elevator to Same Level

Here is a nice, small hack that allows you to add an elevator to Metroid that, rather than bringing the player to a different level, brings the player to a different part of the same level. This hack is very unlikely to work with any other hack that involves ASM since it uses the memory […]

Time to release a new version of my Metroid editor. This version allows you to add ASM to each screen that will run when the screen loads. It includes a built-in assembler so you can do everything right in Editroid.

I’ve decided to share my simple Wavy-Ice hack. It allows the player to combine the wave beam and ice beam in Metroid. Note that this only works on a ROM expanded by Editroid 2.1.
Metroid Tuner

So I made this thing to edit Metroid (NES) music data, and I named it “Metroid Tuner,” because I didn’t feel like trying very hard to come up with a good name. Metroid Tuner dumps and inserts music using a relatively simple text-based format.

I know I was pretty confused about how doors work when I started messing with Metroid, and it’s been a recurring question. The trickiest part is scrolling, but I’ll go over a couple other points, too, so here’s the scoop.
