If you are attempting to patch the practice hack onto SMB1, please check the SHA-1 hash to determine whether you have an iNES or NES 2.0 headered ROM, and download the appropriate patch.

If you wish to convert your iNES ROM to NES 2.0, please replace the first 16 bytes in the ROM with the following using a hex editor such as HxD, or by using the NES Header Editor in Mesen.

For SMB1 NTSC ROM: 4E 45 53 1A 02 01 01 08 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 01
For SMB1 PAL ROM: 4E 45 53 1A 02 01 01 08 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 01

Some dumps of Super Mario Bros. 2 (FDS) and All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. may have a 16 byte header known as the fwNES header, please remove it before patching.

Improvements over Pellsson's practice ROM (v6.0 Prototype)

Every 100th framerule is no longer broken thanks to threecreepio's quick resume code.
Dying in the cartridge version of World -1 will not take you to the disk version.
User-defined addresses are hidden when "INFO" is set to "OFF".
Completely rebuilt SMB2 FDS to NES conversion by Simplistic6502 using doppelganger's disassembly, fixing issues such as the broken ending in 8-4 and D-4.
Added extra frame counter updates for specific instances, such as when Bowser starts moving.
Disabled frame counter updates when collecting a coin or shattering a brick.
Remainders now display on the intermediate screen when starting from the title screen or exiting a warp zone.
Each game has its own ROM now, and each ROM uses the MMC3 mapper to maximize compatibility.
Updated VRAM buffer system using the Popslide library to allow for additional practice information to be displayed.
Hotkeys are less strict; you can hold other buttons while performing your hotkey combination.
SNES Controller support for hotkeys, all buttons are supported. SNES hotkeys are stored independently from NES hotkeys.
Holding A + Start on SMB1 NTSC or PAL will take you to 8-1 on second quest difficulty and bypass all Framerule/RNG logic to replicate vanilla behaviour.
Holding A + Start on SMB2J or ANNSMB will take you to A-1 and bypass all Framerule/RNG logic to replicate vanilla behaviour.

Updated Sockfolder's calculation with improvements by 108Pi to better account for Y-Positioning.

Previously, there were 4 Y pixels with the same sockfolder value, leading to situations where the same value could give different results (such as FF0 save and frame late FF0 save both being D70).

In the new notation, the leading digit is the lowest 2 bits of Mario's Y position. This acts as a vertical offset within the sockfolder value. This doesn't change while mario is falling because he falls at 4 pixels per frame. In addition, this notation is backwards-compatible with the old notation because the last 3 digits are the same.

With regular D70 FPG inputs, the value is now 1D70. A good FF0 save becomes 3D70, and a frame late FF0 save becomes 0D70. Top step setups that give 2D70 also work, so 0D70 is the only value that can't get FPG.
