Update 6/9/2018
🕑 Added 2018-06-09 22:27:08 +0000 UTC Hey guys! Its been about a week since I posted an update to Patreon. Also, hello to all the new supporters since last week. You guys have been piling in and I can't thank you all enough! I want to remind everyone again that there is a discord for bug reports and general discussion related to the mod. Just connect your patreon to your discord account and you will automatically join!Here's what's been going on with the mod in the past week.
Gecko Code For Faster Melee
So here's the bad news. Unfortunately, the code has gotten too long to be distributed as a gecko code for Faster Melee. From this point on all betas will be available as an ISO only.
Memory Card
I don't think I've mentioned this on here but I planned for the final version of 1.0 to be available as a memory card mod as well as an ISO. The problem is, if its too long to be a gecko code in FM, its definitely too long to run off of a memory card...
Fortunately, I've spent the last few days working on a new memory card exploit method and I'm happy to say its finally finished! This will allow for up to 5x the amount of codespace of previous memory card mods such as 20XXTE. in addition to being able to hold much more data, this means the ISO version and memory card version will be the exact same without having to make any compromises.
This new method uses two save files to work. The top file is the original game save file which contains the OG exploit. The bottom file is loaded after going into name entry and contains the entirety of the mod. The custom code is permanently loaded into a different portion of memory than the one traditional codes use, allowing for up to/over 5x the space.
Bug Fixes and Additions
As always, each beta fixes bugs and adds functionality suggested by you guys. Main changes/fixes that will be in Beta 3 are:
- Fixed a somewhat common bug that crashed the game while savestates were in use
- You can control the rate at which Falco shoots lasers in the Powershield Event
- FDD toggle preferences are saved to the memory card
- there is an additional FDD window in ledge tech training that will inform you if you were close enough to the wall/missed the tech input due to lockout or no press.
- you can now haxdash in the ledgedash event
- camera is slightly zoomed out during ledgedash event
Beta 3 Release Date
Beta 3 should be the last beta before a public release. You can expect it within the next few days. The only thing left I want to do before releasing is fix up the SDI Training event. Currently, Fox just gets momentum in the direction you DI. This is unrealistic and may form bad habits if you practice SDI'ing after DI'ing his up-throw. I'm going to attempt to write some code that has Fox follow your DI and intelligently jump to the right height upon up-airing. I don't want to make any promises since I haven't started on this yet but hopefully it can be accomplished.
Thanks again for supporting this mod guys!

Would we be buying the physical card or downloading the files onto a card
Nice
