+-------------------------------------------------+ | Tetris (Famicom): Conventional-Controls Edition | +-------------------------------------------------+ | Overview +-------------------------------------- The first Tetris game that was ever released on a Nintendo system is still overlooked due to its unusual control scheme. This romhack updates the game to have the standard controls that players have come to expect from a classic Tetris game. | Features +-------------------------------------- - Hard drop (A button)—remapped to Up on the D-pad. - Rotate counterclockwise (Down on D-pad)—remapped to B button. - Soft drop—newly added; mapped to Down on D-pad. - Rotate clockwise—newly added; mapped to A button. - Bonus: exploit patched—holding down any button after a hard drop no longer stalls the game indefinitely. For a demonstration of these features, see the video section below. | Known Issues +-------------------------------------- The ending graphics were partially repurposed to store code for the hack, due to the limited size of the game ROM. As a result, the ending graphics are slightly garbled. Although this was not ideal, it is the price of admission of this hack. | Video +-------------------------------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX7uoStDZUM | Tools Used +-------------------------------------- - FCEUX - MesenS - TBLater - Lunar IPS | Platform +-------------------------------------- Nintendo Famicom | Game Credits +-------------------------------------- - Alexey Pajitnov, creator of Tetris. - Bullet Proof Software (BPS), developer and publisher of this game on different platforms including the Famicom. - Nintendo, licensor of the original game and producer of the Famicom. | Version History +-------------------------------------- Version 1.0 created March 28 and July 2-4 and submitted on July 5, 2023. | Developemnt History +-------------------------------------- - July 4, 2023 - Patched stalling exploit - Updated game menu - July 2-3, 2023 - Implemented rotate clockwise - March 28, 2023 - Remapped hard drop - Remapped rotate counterclockwise - Implemented soft drop | License +-------------------------------------- MIT License | Creator +-------------------------------------- clymax https://twitter.com/clymax
