Where is "d4s - Super Mario World Hdma Install.ips"?

Anyone know where I can find "d4s - Super Mario World Hdma Install.ips"?

I'm trying to add HDMA to my hack. All the tutorials say I need this patch, but I can't find it anywhere.
d4s' HDMA kit is no longer on the site anymore (I believe) because it is outdated, and there are better ways to put HDMA in your hack, such as with LevelASM, though this will require you making your own HDMA codes. This tutorial should help you get started.
I think it got removed because, honestly, it sucked. Read Kaijyuu's tutorial instead.
Yeah, that's exactly why we took it down. It eats up a shitload of banks in the ROM, and as Ladida said, there are far better ways to get decent HDMA into your hack nowadays.

Come to think of it, I have seen very few hacks actually reach completion with d4s's kit.

That's because it was full of bugs and tended to lead to "ARGH! HDMA screwed up my hack! My last backup was from 3 months ago! I quit!" moments. I think that single "tool" has been the second biggest contributor to unfinished hacks (it follows closely behind people turning their hacking into work and getting bored.)
Maybe someone could improve upon it? Opening level asm confused the crap out of me.
That's probably because you opened level.ASM instead of levelcode.asm. You don't touch level.ASM, all your code goes into levelcode.asm, and if that confused you... I don't think ASM is for you... (it's just a bunch of levelXX labels where you put your code under the level you want it to happen in... Not exactly rocket science...)
Cool. Thanks for the answers, everyone!
Sounds like I'm better off without it.
