Originally posted by infidelity Ohh, that's cool. Nice job.  Just curious where the beginning of that data starts at for hp values of sprites (mm3 wise)? Better for me to learn that now rather than not at all, for my own info. Only thing I've found so far and understand for enemies is this:  (within per level) $B10 ($100): Sprite Data: Screen Position for each Enemy $C10 ($100): Sprite Data: X Position for each Enemy $D10 ($100): Sprite Data: Y Position for each Enemy $E10 ($100): Sprite Data: Type for each Enemy (edited by kuja killer on 10-04-05 09:25 PM) (edited by kuja killer on 10-04-05 11:03 PM) |

Originally posted by infidelity Got a question if I may ask. Concerning Megaman 3 though.  Since you know alot and understand much more. I'm working on the snakeman level on my hack, and there's an issue i want to figure out how to resolve concerning those giant snakes found through the level...there's only 2 of them right? I don't really need to know anything about the 1st one, it's just the 2nd one. First of all the snakeman level data is between 0x0A000 - 0x0BFFF in the rom memory ...i'm guessing there's probably even more somewhere..  But I can't seem to get part of the 2nd giant snake's body OFF the screen so that I can push it back a few screens before. It's on screen position $0E So that'd be right around 0x0AB10 (around that area) for what enemies are on what screen position they're on. I'm trying to get the whole thing moved to screen 0B which is just a couple backwards. I've moved all the instances of the giant snake sprites to it...edited the maps..reused the same screen preset from the 1st snake ...tried other screen presets ...and it's not working. I mean I can fight the thing ...it's just that the body won't move. ..and it's still stuck on screen 0E Is there some type of controller or pointer that I have to find and change to get the whole body thing transfered to the screen/scroll postion/preset that I want it to be on? I've tred changing every instance of $0E to $0B between the snakeman level data just to see what happens (and i did make backups first) in the hex editor ...and still no luck. I guess it's not stage specific? It's only this one particular enemy. I've got all the sprites right..it's just that the body part that animates and jiggles up and down ...is stuck a few screens away and not on the screen I want it to be.Here's an example:  This is all fine and dandy ...body doesn't move up and down so where's that happening?  It's happening over here just a bit further away. ..That's why i need to know if there's really some type of controller in the ROM memory of some sort that's pointing to a specific area that makes what's happening on the 2nd image, being on that screen.

| Well, something like that. I mean that in the 2nd image ..that little part of the body just sits in mid air doing nothing except jiggling up and down ...that's the default screen it happens on originally..but i'm trying to get it pushed back a few screens earlier. Now I've also messed around once by just forgetting about that idea, and put them all on that particular screen (sprites and stuff), edited the maps to reflect it ...and it works absolutely fine. Just that I don't want it on that screen though. Oh and just a little more info, I understand all the stage data between $A10 - $1FFF ...but I don't know what anything means yet between $000 - $999. I'm thinking this sort of pointer thing (if it even is) is between 000 - 999 either that...or somewhere else completely. it'd take me way too long to go through every single value one by one to figure it out. Still going to try though.(edited by kuja killer on 10-06-05 02:14 PM) (edited by kuja killer on 10-06-05 02:16 PM) (edited by kuja killer on 10-06-05 02:16 PM) (edited by kuja killer on 10-06-05 02:31 PM) |

gah, i gotta figure out how to really use the debugger.  ..im not too familiar with it yet. I'm just used to using the hex editor in fceuxd most of the time now that I've been using it more often recently. |

| Are there any in-depth tutorials for using the 6502 debugger with FCEUXD ? ...I can't find any exactly...i've found only just 1 link to some website...but it was broken. ...just trying to ask for a little reference if that's not too much to ask for....

| Omg, thanks...i feel so embarrassed that I wasn't able to find any documents myself earlier today. Sorry. EDIT: okay so i've been reading them and wanted to try out the infinite lives thing from http://www.geocities.com/bjb138/rockmanXasm/asm1.html ..since it talks about doing it on super mario brothers...i wanted to try it out on Megaman 4 and I'm getting the hang of it now. ...but i'm just curious to find out exactly to REALLY make sure if i've been doing it right cause some odd things have happened in the process...So on megaman 4 ...the number of lives you start off with is 2 (just like in super mario bros) ...i open the cheat search ...click reset...enter "02" in known value box and click known value...comes to 19 possibilities ....i go die...hit it again and comes down to like 6 possibilities or something.. one of them that caught my attention was "$00A1" ..i think that's the one that controls the number of lives cause i set it to the cheat list...go die and my lives never go down. ...Now the complicated part which I'm hoping i'm understanding correctly. ..I find it in the debugger by setting a a write breakpoint to 00A1 ..die...it snaps at the following: $C833:C6 A1 DEC $A1 = #$02 and a 2 lines below it ... $C835:A9 00 LDA #$00 $C837:85 9A STA $9A = #$00 It said on the site that if i wanted the lives to never go down ..i would change the C6 part to "AD" in the hex editor ..within these few values: C6 A1 A9 85 9A .....am i right ? ....so i did it to test it out...reset the game ..play...die...and lives never go down .. BUT ...sometimes the game will actually just crash...sometimes it won't....that's what I don't understand.. ..umm ?? ...And about setting the default number of lives to whatever I want...well i couldn't find any "02" around the area in the hex editor.. 0x07C843 and the guide said how I should NOT touch the address which in this case would be the "00" and "A1" ... ...or is it safe to do so ? ..like changing either one of those to say ... 05 for example...am i getting my facts straight here ? . I change the value number with the cheat search to any number i want on 00A1 ...like i put 04...update..i have 4 lives...6...6 lives..but when i go look at the lines in the debugger..i don't see any information changed at all except for the "=#$04 or whatever part ...so i don't get exactly what numbers changed it to make it so 04 ..im a little confused.

| Nice. I'm sure that'll prove to be very helpful for anyone who decides to work on megaman 4 anytime. I may try it out sometime...but i'm focusing on megaman 3 still obviously. Oh and I finally managed to find out how to hack the number of lives deal WITH megaman 4 just as testing purposes with the debugger.... ..And I knew absolutely nothing until last night. :-p ... Not sure if it'll matter to you or not, but I found the data for the number of lives you start off with if you'd like to add to your list. ...or do you already know it ? 0x07c54a - number of lives you start off with $C539:A9 02 LDA #$02 $C53B:85 A1 STA $A1 = #$00 $C53D:A9 9C LDA #$9C So that's what determines the number of lives you start off with ? ..now i figured it out ..the "A" register is where the value is stored if i understood correctly. I don't know how to deal with the X and Y yet though. ..but i've been learning on my own. this is probably the most BASIC thing huh ? (edited by kuja killer on 10-08-05 06:51 PM) |

| I don't get how I'm suppose to find what I'm looking for when I use it ..what i mean is ...when i start using the trace logger on a rom ...and i have the thing set to so it logs the last 10,000 instructions to window...i check the "update window option and start it...and it's ridiculous. :-\ ..goes like 100 lines of code per second or two ...and within about a minute or less...it's already did over 10,000 ...any way i can slow the thing down? I tried logging it to a text file...and even after 30 seconds ....i already have an insane 70+ MB text file that won't even run on my comp because the darn thing's too huge. What's the deal with that? ..is that completely normal ? |

| Ahh, well the case that I was going to investigate was what's happening in this screenshot. http://www.alienaa.com/members/108/blah2.PNG ...i wanted to log exactly what'd happen on that screen when i'd enter it to so i can figure out how that bit of a snake body is appearing there when i don't want it to be on. ..but it's a bit hard to find the info im looking for when the trace logger speeds like a 1000 MPH (exageration, i don't mean that seriously..just what it feels like) I could only come up with an idea of this .. but it's just part of HP value. $81C3:BD E0 04 LDA $04E0,X @ $04F5 = #$0A $81C6:38 SEC $81C7:F1 00 SBC ($00),Y @ $A189 = #$0A $81C9:B0 02 BCS $81CD $81CB:A9 00 LDA #$00 $81CD:9D E0 04 STA $04E0,X @ $04F5 = #$0A $81D0: D0 35 BNE $8207 Anything between $04F5 - $04F9 when setting a write breakpoint to it will snap or halt on me when i fight the giant snake a few screens earlier ...i'm trying to get the important part of it's body OFF that screen its stuck on which the debugger doesn't seem to detect anything on ..i haven't figured it out yet.

| (I felt like wanting to post this because I'm feeling better right now than I did when I knew absolutely none of this stuff) So I've been getting more and more into really wanting to learn 6502 ASM in the past couple weeks. And I'm getting a little bit better a small bit at a time per day. i'm feeling dedicated to keep going and understand more. I've been reading the 6502.txt document from Zophars Domain, but I've found another guide of this IRC chat log of one person wanting to learn how to do asm, and people being very generous in teaching the guy. It's been helping me A TON ..and i'm not even half way done yet reading it as i'm just taking things slow, not rush, learn, etc. http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:6fkZsq8k6FkJ:dahrkdaiz.panicus.org/asmlog.txt+megaman+fceud+cheat+search&hl=en Since this portion of the site doesn't exist anymore..thankfully i got it off of googles Cache. ..I never tried out any of the games they were using for examples, so i reverted to doing my own examples (following along) with megaman obviously and I've been succeeding. I am of course jotting down important notes that are discussed so that I can keep a copy of for myself in case I forget something. And I'm still reading over the 6502.txt much to get the grasp of things.Anyway, sorry for babbling on ...but I'm going to try doing what infedilty(is that how its spelt??) when he found as much offset info as he could for megaman 4 ..but i'm doing it for megaman 3. ..here's what I've found on my own currently: It's not a whole lot yet..but it's for stuff i've found...not based on other documents out there. So ..i'm going to keep learning.  __________________________________________________________________ Damage tables, HP, enemy IDs in RAM HP Tables start at $A400 (RAM) $0410 - $050F in ROM Robot Eye HP: $0446 $A107 (RAM) damage wise [p cannon] $14117 - damage dealt by P cannon $14517 - damage dealt by Hard Knuckle $14917 - damage dealt by Shadow Blade Spark Trap HP: $0474 $3C90C: Lives Counter _________________________________________________________________ CHR (graphics?)

Originally posted by PSlugworth Ahh, I apoligize if megaman seems to be like the only thing I ever talk about. ..I don't mean to ..as long as I'm learning ASM in the process I guess that's the most important thing. I'm just a real big fan of that type of game..but honestly, I have a bigger passion for the whole Final Fantasy Series which I love much more. Heck ..I own all the PS1 FF's, FF X and X-2 for PS2 .....i wish i had 11 but i don't have a credit card yet and my computer can't handle it. ..i don't got a gamecube though so that's out of the question. ...I've played enough MM hacks that people have made..and I think Rockman Exile from Kuwatas website (japanese) is the most awsome one I've played. While most others just had lots of small glitches or problems, etc. So that's what gave me the desire to try one day making my own type of megaman game ....wether it's nes that is "so 15 years ago" ...or even if it were for PS3 and Xbox 360 ...so ...i thought that starting on the NES would be the best choice for me for now until I can move up to something harder to try. I don't really have the greatest mind of ideas...so that's why I'm just going to just go with re-creating the gameboy version for nes, ...since they are different from each other. And one question for you guys...6502 ASM is considered "low level" programming right ? ..and one of my friends told me that low level is more difficult then something that would be considered "high level" programming ...is that true ? ....so like.....the NES's type of ASM is much harder to learn then say..... the Super Nintendo or even Gameboy Advance ??? And just for the hell of it ..wanted to take 1 more screenshot of my workspace from earlier. ..can't fit everything on the screen though because I have my monitors screen resolution set to 800 x 600 because of my somewhat bad eyesight. http://www.alienaa.com/members/108/myworkspace.PNG (edited by kuja killer on 10-11-05 10:20 PM) |

| I just now played your hack entirly and I liked it. You did a pretty good job on it. Except there were still a few problems which I'm sure you already know about but let's see here hmm... On the quickman stage, whenever you pause to bring up the weapon screen...sometimes it'll show other areas of the stage in the background ...even though that's not the current screen your on ..it's kinda strange actually..does it for about half of the entire way through. When I beat Wily (the alien form) ..wow freaked me out that all of a sudden the game just resetted like that. ...bleh ...Couple other glitches I noticed that I forgot where they were. Only problem I had was just that most of the stages just kept reusing the same enemy over and over without mixing in at least 3 or 4 different types ...but don't worry that's okay. (not bashing you in any way) ...Overall it was pretty easy, the first 8 stages...some parts were difficult ...the wily stages were challenging which is also good. I'd have to say I really loved Woodmans stage how you start off as if you were in the first level of super mario bros ...then going to Bowsers lair half way through. Hehe.EDIT: Ohhhh ..just remembered....what the heck was up with the Dragon (the boss for Wily 1) ..I must of had to keep restarting that over and over about 5 times until I was able to start fighting him. Basically his life bar wouldn't appear ..until a few seconds later than it should have when the boss music starts playing...and no weapons would do damage.. Then after trying 3 more times from dieing...i use bubble lead....and with 1 single hit...the dragon is dead...before his life bar would even appear on the screen... ..is that another glitch ??Still, great job on the entire project.

| For Megaman 3. Been real busy and spending a TON of time on learning ASM, and finding out whatever data I can for that game. I've come up with a set of guides to include any possible offset data I can find. It's by no means complete as there's still lots much to figure out, but I've been putting the knowledge i've gained so far to use, to gather whatever information I could. Some of it was taken off other guides, just the common stuff, BUUUUT ..i HAVE been finding alot on my "OWN" including: - Damage data tables - Energy recovery from weapon/energy capsules (I just figured that out today..even if it took me 2 hours, it was still worth it) - Weapon energy usage - HP Tables for sprites - Lives Counter And a few other things. DahrkDiaz - I'm SO thankful that I found this from your website. ..http://dahrkdaiz.panicus.org/asmlog.txt That's been helping me alot reading along. Took me over a week to read that entire log a little bit a day, but it's worth my time. As far as progress on my megaman 3 hack so far, i've only got 3 stages done now, and working on the next. But there's still things I really need to know if anyone's willing to figure out the offset data for.. - The way the boss doors function ..because my stages are longer than they originally are. And now that I understand how to work with screen positions/presets and stuff, I'm just wondering how to get a boss door to function on a "different" screen rather than setting it as "background" - Oh, and the way that those little appearing/disappearing blocks work ..like how to insert them and stuff cause I couldn't find them as "sprites" unless I'm looking in the wrong places or something. Umm, i'll think of more things eventually when I need to know. Anyways, ..here's a link to these guides I've created if anyone's interested. ..I want to share it with you guys..if ANYTHING is incorrect ..please tell me what is wrong. If anyone has anything to contribute to it that they know of, feel free to. http://www.alienaa.com/members/108/Megaman3ROMdata.zip These documents will open in Wordpad. - Mike (edited by kuja killer on 10-17-05 04:25 PM) (edited by kuja killer on 10-17-05 04:55 PM) |
