Thanks HyperHacker, that's a good idea. The save game routine is at ROM offset 1DC9 and the load game starts at 1EEF or maybe a little before. I'm pretty sure that the last value used in the save file is 70:0358 and by adding a subroutine to the save and load methods I have succesfully saved and loaded additional values. |

Everything in the SRAM address range should be saved to the .srm file.
Any ideas where the Save Game routine is?
As for initializing, I would use a custom block right under/on Mario in the intro level (with the "bowser captured peach again ono" message). You can only visit that level when you start a new game, and it's mandatory. (You don't even need to erase the old values when deleting the file if you don't plan to display them on the file select screen.) |

Alright, so I've managed to get it to save and load new values, but I have one more obstacle. I need the values to be initialized when you start a new game. Is there a routine for initializing all of the values when you start a new game? |

exactly, if we knew about your project, and it was better, then no one probably would have said that...but we dont, so we can only assume now...cant we. |

You say that because you people dont know my project. |

indeed, if you can do all that, that will be sweet, good luck, and hope you can do it |

Sounds like you might give Super Mario Odyssey a run for its money. |

Oh, I'm going to save some things to the file. I've added a second type of coins that I think I want to use for buying things, also I want it to save the number of lives you have instead of setting it to 5 every time. I'm writing an NPC system where you can interact with characters and make decisions, and these decisions could effect the progress of the game. But I need to be able to save it for it to be of any use. |

what are you trying to do with it anyway?, or are you just trying to find out where it was. |

Thanks, looks like the saving routine is at ROM offset 1DC9.
--- Edit ---
Hmm, I think I've got a good idea of what it's doing. The greatest value it ever seems to save is at 70:0358 I believe. If I store and load values to 70:0359 and on in groups of three for each file, will these get saved to the .srm, and how high can I go? |

I can't recall where the code is, but look for writes to $700xxx (SRAM). That should lead you right to it. |

Anyone know where the code for saving and loading your game is? I was trying to find it through tracing, but I haven't had any luck yet. |
