Unless you like looking into data, the only helpful stuff to n00b hex hackers are the title and second screen, pallets, titles, items, and all the text. I only included the graphics in the data to narrow down the corruption for people that want to search for other things in the ??? blocks. |

SWEET! I love Faxanadu!
I dunno if I'll ever do anything with this data, but it's good to have. |

I put this data together Easter weekend in attempts to figure out where to start searching for other properties. Since Vagla has left the scene (and is the only other person I know of that has looked into Faxanadu data) I figured someone else might be able to look into this.
*Note: I put this in the Repository as well at RuSteD LOgIc and a thread I made at TEK.

Most the values are accurate (not exact though). The ???s are areas of the ROM that I am not sure what they do yet. Most of the areas involve a FF being after every few spaces. The one that says "Look into this!!!" should be something of importance.
Useful stuff you might get out of this, the title screen and the second walking screen can easily be edited in HEX. A full screen of the the walking screen can be edited so you could make it a second title screen after pressing start at the beginning, though you might want to take out the walking sprite if you do that (I'm not sure, but it probably is, the same screen used at the end of the game except with animated graphics and a different pallet).
Enjoy this data and maybe you'll stumble across the odd compression the game uses according to something Vagla had in his bio at one point.
EDIT: Also, I should include (in case someone doesn't know) there is a ton of empty space in the ROM. Some expansion can be made. |
