| Well I don't really have list in the sense of a to do list, but I have a long running list of variables and handwritten (as in typed manually) disassembly of the first 7 modes of the game (i.e. $10 = 0 through 6. Unfortuantely 7 and 9 are the meat of the game). If you'd like to take a look at it sometime be my guest. It's code, but it isn't written for an assembler, it would have to be modified. It's in my own personal style of ASM, which has its faults and its pluses. I just like to know how things work down to a tee, and thus I've spent a lot of time on this. Probably shouldn't though. I have a lot of work to do lately in school/life. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 09-24-04 03:14 PM) |

| As usual, LF doesn't compromise on quality. Joanime seems pretty good too. I might just have to look up some of her flash. The siege and the twins were sort of stupid, but still passable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Anyways, _SW_Squall (I wish your name was a little easier to type, reminds me of programming classes) I hope you make good use of the board and have fun while doing it. Cyaround.

Fuck yeah. Especially 60+ hours of it per week (what i have now.) I doubt any of my profs would recognize this as a holiday though. |

I'm in sort of the same boat. If I continue to hack as much as I do, I'll probably fail my semester (ever so slowly though.) |
bbit, are you at UT? I love that campus, I spent a week there and it rocked.

^ That's actually my favorite way to level early on in FFVI. I'd just kill off one or two party members and reach level 25 or higher before the magitek factory in WOB. That was, of course, when I had the patience to level up. Now I'd probably just hack the values. |

Every 60th of a second an "interrupt" is called called the NMI. In Zelda 3 the interrupt is located at $000069 in rom and $00:8069 in snes memory (for an american rom). Now I'm no expert on this, but I believe that is called VBlank or NMI. It's where your graphical data gets updated to the screen. |
There is also Hblank (horizontal blank) where you can alter graphics as they are being drawn every scanline. If you don't know what a scanline is feel free to ask. That is essentially how things like oval shaped black spot lights are created when Link goes into and out of a building. The width of a black object is changed every scanline. I believe that Hblank effects are handled using HDMA or possibly just DMA. I need to research this a bit more as well, but I've come to terms with it enough to recognize it when I see it.

Oh yeah. I think you told me that and I forgot. Sorry about the mixup. |

The code was manually typed by looking at the bytes themselves, no tracer output. It was meant to be slightly more human readable as well.The output I have is basically similar to what you'd get with a tracer, but I attempt to encampsulate routines, in a way similar to C or Java. So you'd have something like: |
$000253-$000264 LONG { LDA #11; STA $55; LDA $54; BEQ BRANCH_ALPHA; LDA #00; BRANCH_ALPHA: STA $00; JSL $0083D1; // $3D1 in rom. I make lots of notes like these for cross reference. RTL; } Note the lack of #$ for hexadecimal values. I hate writing that because I always assume hexadecimal when hacking. And I rarely write using an assembler so it's much more convenient that way. I also have spacing conventions which contribute to overall readability. Such as a carriage return before A,Y, or X receive a new value. A carriage return before RTS, RTL, branch operations, and so on. It's something I'm continually working on and trying to standardize for myself. My output is not perfect, as it was done by a human, but it is hopefully darn close. It was also done in RTF format so I could differentiate different types of operations by color coding. Omega has my docs too, though slightly out of date. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 09-25-04 06:15 AM) (edited by MathOnNapkins on 09-25-04 06:16 AM) (edited by MathOnNapkins on 09-25-04 06:17 AM)

You can expect that and a whole lot worse to happen when you start noping and editing sections of code. |

I'm like the hobo that can critique everyone's rooms, the way that they are set up, the coordination, as well as wardrobe, but if you looked at my room/clothes you'd probably not guess it.

Your posts are an eyesore, spend some time figuring stuff out on your own. |

Have you played through the whole game to make sure that this is the only thing that is bugged? If that turns out to be the case, simply trace an uncorrupted rom during that sequence and then trace your corrupted rom. Figure out what went horribly wrong from that. If there are more things screwed up, though, you have a very difficult problem to fix. |
