Why does everyone seem to think ASM knowledge is required to hack games lately?

I have found a lot of data so far, and I will update this post as I find more.

$0C Flashing Level Select Cursor (The two values it can be are 55 and 00)
$0D Level Select Cursor Position
$14 and $16 Buttons that are held down
$18 Buttons that are pressed
$37 Title Screen Flash Countdown Timer
$3C Transition Countdown Timer between Title and Level Select (Level Select will not load unless this has reached 00)
$41 Music Indicator. (00 means music is playing. 01 means music is off)
$42 Mode Indicator (04 means that you are at the Title Screen. 06 means you are at the level select screen. 05 means you are in a level.)

$6A Health Counter

From Right to Left, the score digits:

$72 Ones
$73 Tens
$74 Hundreds
$75 Thousands
$76 Ten-Thousands
$77 Hundred-Thousands
$78 One Million

$A6 Lives Counter

Lives Setup Code

$9052:A9 02 LDA #$02
$9054:85 A6 STA $A6 = #$00

Health Setup Code

$912C:A9 1C LDA #$1C
$912E:85 6A STA $6A = #$1C

The following two lines are the Title Screen Flashing Sequence Code:

$9031:BD 60 9A LDA $9A60,X @ $9A98 = #$34
$9034:85 E2 STA $E2 = #$00

X is then incremented:

$9036:E8 INX

And then this is the Music Code:

$9037:BD 60 9A LDA $9A60,X @ $9A98 = #$34
$903A:85 E3 STA $E3 = #$00

0x015063 Lives that you start out with
0x01513D How much health you start out with

I'm sure FuSoYa started somewhat like this, because everybody has to start somewhere.

Somewhat, yes. I actually started out with a translation, but I made a basic type of map editor as part of it.

An editor is a pretty good way to learn about ROM hacking, but expect to spend a lot of time at it.

Music? They have a Simular format! But I Fail To
Switch music data:

The thing:

Ufouria <----< Journey to Silius

I need it for my Mario Ufouria project! Thanks.

Mega-Dog:
My Sonic 1 level editor, also writen in VB6, does, at worst, .55 seconds on my 667 mhz P3 when drawing 4096 tiles (64*64 8*8 tiles / Total: 512*512 pixels). My budget 1.3 ghz Celeron M laptop does the same thing in .0078 seconds. I've yet to optimize. My level editor doesn't even read level data from RAM, and it reads it byte by byte from disk. (Of course, disk cache helps.) How are you drawing the screen? I use BitBlt and StretchBlt (for mirroring and flipping).

...

I think that's mostly it... Oh, modulus is your friend when making an editor.

I am now restarting that project, I am all right since my
FIRST attempt. My project, was to turn Ufouria's music
Into Journey to silius, which is considered: ''Hacking!''
then I might write a document! Any suggestions,
It will be fine here, and please, do NOT BE OFF-TOPIC!

I am fairly certain that Zophar's has a few SMRPG statistics editor on there, although this is not a request thread.

Items that appear on the same map row as other items share the same item data. This means that if you move the first item in the row, it'll move all the other items in that row. Because the bombs and high jump boots aren't appearing, I am thinking you've moved the rows they reside in, and as a result they are in a different location. You can fix this sort of thing by editing the items in a hex editor; it won't remove all of the limitations, but it'll give you a lot more freedom. Mega-Dog may have posted the item data in an older thread; I can't remember. Dig around and see what you can find.
