| I generally use Paper since to use plastic I'd generally have to double or triple bag them, and I can use the paper bags as trash bags later on. I plan on getting one or two cloth grocery bags, though, to cut down on waste. I want some, but I have had very little initiative to go out and find (and buy) them. |

Originally posted by Uchiha Itachi I have never released anything because when I do, I want it to be really good. While I like Zelda 3, I find that it is many respects a limited game. A game I have played so much I can't really find anything interesting to do in it anymore. You'd be amazed at how amusing it is to change certain sections of code. One time I routed all sprite handling functions to the one that controls the buzzards. So everytime a sprite appeared on the screen it morphed into some odd ball shape and started spinning around me. Very fun. Can you imagine fighting off all the sprites on the screen when they're attacking you thus? But anyways, once I get good enough to add/modify certain features of the game, like weapons, additional controls, etc. I might release something. It's coming, I swear

Oh that? Those are more like amuzing accidents that happen when I'm trying to figure out what a particular piece of code does. So I'll erase portions of code. It's actually a pretty primitive technique called NOPing subroutines. You can do that, or you can make a subroutine return prematurely to get different effects. Sometimes you break the code (i.e. crash the game) and sometimes you get functional insanity (the above). |
The buzzard code thing was quite fun because you would kill an enemy, and it would drop a rupee, then the rupee would start flying at you trying to kill you. Though many of the enemies were harmless, it was still fucking cool. I also got it so that enemies on the screen don't have to hit link to hurt him. (i.e. by disabling hit detection.) It's really interesting trying to get past even one or two screens with this "feature". (edited by MathOnNapkins on 09-16-04 01:17 AM)

A fad? |
Well, it could turn out to be a far more enjoyable (and reliable) form of birth control. (Postfactum :p) Who ever had fun getting an abortion? I'd bet less than 1% would attest to that.

One of the things that annoys me beyond belief is other males coming up to me and being like "Hey isn't that girl hot?" or "Damn I'd like to hit that, " or other stupid shit like that. |
My annoyance with this stems from the fact that any idiot guy can figure out what females are attractive. Someone coming up to me and pointing out attractiveness makes me feel like the guy wants to have a circle jerk with me. Jesus people fuck off please. (directed to said annoying people) I guess some guys' penises need a second opinion?

Damn, you learn something new every day. I've seen part of this, put into a separate rom. It was the controller test as a stand alone. It should make a good playground for anyone who wants to learn more about snes graphics and other finer points. |

Originally posted by Uchiha Itachi True that, I was just trying to figure out what I edited about 30 min ago in a file called 2Zelda.smc. That's my guinea pig rom file for testing anything and everything. I keep pure copies of my rom on ice on my online accounts, just in case. (Read only  )I have most of what I know documented, so it's not a hard procedure to go and reverse it usually. Most of the time I can search in the hex editor for EAEAEA and sure enough I'll find a NOPed routine. Killer rupees, mwa ha ha. It's not out of the question.

Originally posted by Yoshi Dude Well I suppose I could play "Kick pregnant mommy till she and her unborn child die" but I'd probably end up on death row. Hence, that's why I said it was birthcontrol "postfactum" :\ Hmm.... baby control would be better. It sounds a lot cuter than birth control.

You do have a point. Though for me, NOPing is much more to the point. You'll have a good idea of where and how you broke something. And plotting out a new jump location also takes more time. I can swap hex files at will and reload my pure rom if something goes haywire, test it in my emu with a save state, and badda bing badda boom I'm there. |
Of course, I don't just NOP and then generalize what a procedure does. I proceed to look at that code and disassemble it, comment it, etc. I also employ other methods, like reindexing jump tables to swap certain behaviors, using cheat codes to isolate variables, and editing data tables and observing the effects. The one bad thing about NOPing though is that if you're not initially aware of the structure of the machine language in some places, you may end up crashing your emu, not just the game. And that does suck a fat one, but it happens fairly rarely for me.

Maybe I should take a look at what the electronics test actually does... |

All I can say about ASM hacking is that you had better have a damn good idea of what you're doing. You will inevitably break something and have to go back and figure out what screwed up. As far as hacking guides go, I know of none beyond Rockmans'. |
The best thing you can do for yourself is to learn ASM, in particular the opcodes for each instruction, and open up the rom in a hex editor. See what the game does, figure out how it works. Go from there. Also read a lot about the particulars of your system. A knowledge of Snes rom hacking would be incomplete without knowledge of the NMI interrupt, for example. http://www.google.com is your friend. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 09-18-04 01:51 AM)

I can't really decide which of those is more pathetic. |
