Requires thought and conservation of everything you’ve got! Played the hack for a moment last night, must say… a nice challenge. Super Metroid is by far my favorite in the series. Pinging is currently not allowed.ġ11 Responses to “ Hacksterpiece Theatre: Return to Zebes with Super Metroid Redesign” You can skip to the end and leave a response. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. On Tuesday, September 5th, 2006 at 9:25 am and is filed under Emulation, Hacks & Projects, Hacksterpiece Theatre. Have you found or made any cool, funny, or weird retro game hacks that you’d like to share? Send ’em along! If you need help patching, post a comment or a message on the VC&G forum. You’ll have to find and patch the game file yourself using the Lunar IPS ( file mirror) tool. Nonetheless, I am mirroring version 2.1 (final) of the patch on VC&G for posterity: you can download the Super Metroid Redesign v2.1 Header or Headerless patch. Also, Drewseph seems to regularly make updates to the patch, so you should probably look at the official page for the latest version. I typically include a fully playable version of the hacked game in my HT columns, but in this case, the hack is so recent that I’d rather not annoy its creator by doing that. Still, this is the first significant Super Metroid hack out there (that I know of), so it is worth passing along. I myself have not played through the game very far because it is, indeed, very hard. I’ll let the reader make his own decisions on that point. In fact, I’ve read much criticism on a few forums that SM: Redesign relies too much on the difficult “wall jumping” technique to pass certain areas of the game, while others say it is not much of a problem. Stirrings from the retrogaming community say that this hack possesses a quality that is quite common among game hacks: extreme difficulty. A new technique that was Alien to SM has finally been added to the game as well, and you’ll need to use it carefully if you wish to get all 100% items. However if the wall is a smooth pipe, or an algae covered seawall, then Samus won’t be able to get ANY grip to jump from. IF a wall is rocky and has a gripping surface then Samus will be able to wall jump off of it. Wall jumping has become a bigger part in this hack. Hi-Jump boots now come packaged with Spring-Ball. One of them is required, the other a simple weapons addition to enhance your fire power. There are 2 new major upgrades that Samus will need to complete her adventure. Many tricks you knew in the original will need to be relearned which brings back that “unfamiliar” feeling of gameplay. I have also modified bomb jumping to return to the fast falling speeds of M1 and Metroid Prime. I know where I can wall jump, that I can bomb jump places, that I can easily get around this place by doing another thing. I also Favored changing the physics because in every SM hack I’ve played I get bored rather quickly because I already know everything there is. My reason for changing it is backed up by a Pirate data in Metroid Prime that states Zebes total mass nearly equivalent to Tallon VI. Every time I jumped I felt like I was wasting time waiting to land on the ground. Something that always bothered me has been the horribly slow falling speed in this game. These features are probably best explained in the “readme” file that comes with the hack, so I’ll quote that below: It has a completely new world map, some new items, physics changes, and a few other new features. Super Metroid Redesign is exactly as its title says: a complete redesign of Super Metroid. Fans of this seminal work can explore the planet Zebes all over again in a new hack by Drewseph and crew called, quite simply, Super Metroid Redesign. Well, my friends…in 2006, that wish was granted. For years I wished so badly for a new Super Metroid, even if it were the exact same engine with a completely new world to explore. There was only one problem with this otherwise excellent game: once you had finished it - exploring every nook, finding every secret, and collecting every power-up along the way - you had squeezed nearly every ounce of replay value out of the game. The atmosphere created by its top-notch graphics, music, and gameplay was palpable, enveloping me deeply into an incredible world of sci-fi fantasy and exploration. When I first played Super Metroid in April 1994, it was the most incredible gaming experience I’d ever had up to that point.

There’s also an upside to paying taxes as an independent contractor - ample business deductions. Once you enter your net earnings and filing status, the calculator will tell you: This way, the calculator can determine whether the Additional Medicare Tax applies based on the above criteria, and take it into account. You also need to choose your filing status from the drop-down menu (e.g. 100000), and the calculator will provide you with the correct tax rate based on 92.35% of the amount you entered - so there’s no need to pre-calculate the taxable base, the calculator will do it for you. Simply enter your net earnings in USD (e.g. The easiest way to gauge your SE tax liability is to use our self-employment tax calculator.

Self-employment taxes are probably the most dreaded type of taxes for freelancers, as they can be quite steep. Regular employees normally pay half of the amount for FICA, and their employer provides the other half.īut, as an independent contractor, you pay the entire sum yourself through the SE tax. These taxes include your Social Security and Medicare contributions. You’re subject to the self-employment tax if your net earnings for the year equal or exceed $400. Since you don’t have an employer who can withhold money from your paycheck for FICA (Federal Insurance Contribution Act) taxes, you need to do it yourself.

And, if your net earnings exceed $400, you need to report them. In other words, for the purposes of paying taxes, you’re a one-person business. Step #1: Reporting incomeĪs a freelancer, the IRS sees you as a self-employed individual, and you’re subject to different tax rules than employees. Here, we’ll explain each step in greater detail. Tax filing for independent contractors can seem scary to beginners - but it doesn’t have to be difficult. But, they are generally advised to set aside 25% to 30% of their taxable yearly income to pay all their yearly taxes. The exact amount freelancers should pay in taxes varies on a case-by-case basis. So, how much should you set aside for taxes as an independent contractor? Therefore, you’re in charge of reporting your earnings and handling your tax obligations, as there’s no employer to withhold taxes from your income. Difference between a freelancer, a contractor, and an employee How to file taxes as an independent contractor in 4 stepsĪs an independent contractor, you’re self-employed. On the other hand, you’re not an independent contractor if your payer (in this case, your direct employer) has the legal right to control how you do your work - even if you’re generally provided the freedom of action. Sometimes, they’re also referred to as 1099 employees - which is a misnomer since they do not work under an employer.Īccording to the IRS, you are an independent contractor if your payer only has control over the results of your work, and you remain in control of what you do and how you do it. The latter term stems from the name of a form payers use to report the compensation paid to contractors (which we’ll explain in more detail later). Independent contractors are otherwise referred to as freelancers or 1099 workers. In other words, independent contractors perform work for third parties as nonemployees.
