That took a while. (Not really, which is a good thing.  )Oh hi, I was once a member of the old board and I haven't been around in a while. Yeah, whatever. I guess it takes a huge crash to bring me back. |

| I invented it, a suitable replacement to my old one. It means nothing at all. I just liked the way it looked when I scribbled it one day. | |||

| 150, I was 990 before, I liked 990 better because that number is on my license and it was my old school ID number and it looks neat, but 150 is symmetrical in a weird way. | |||

| I clicked and was shocked to see it had crashed, I was a lurker for long, although I never really logged in. But I checked every day, and came back when I saw the link at the top. I found it originally by looking for Rom hacks one day and Acmlm's looked really neat to me. (edited by NuZhongRoba on 03-14-04 10:51 PM) |

Erm, no it's not. O_o: That's amazing.  Ummm...yeah it is. It takes someone of great genius like myself to recognize it. |

I was too busy anyway, and I had nothing to say.  Well, now that I am back...I guess I can post again or something. yey |

| Depends. I guess most dormant people were dormant because they had other things to do, as was the case with me. |

| Just because I didn't post doesn't mean I didn't check this site every day. (I guess that invalidates the "I was busy" excuse though ). |

| Damn, if I had no sex drive, my life would be so much better. Be glad you have a null sex drive, because I am at the opposite end of the spectrum and it overruns my mind. I think about sex. All the time. Every single day, every hour of the day. I have never had intercourse, but I have "messed around" on a few occasions, and all that did was to make my sex drive even greater. And the fact that I am 19 doesn't help out much. One of these days, my cowardliness (when it comes to girls) is going to vanish in a burst and something very unusual will happen: I will have a girlfriend. And again I will have someone who wants to be intimate with me. Not to go off on a tangent, but having graduated high school with few female friends and no girlfriend at all, and then finally finding someone who was attracted to my mind and body, it felt quite uplifting. I need that to happen again. |

| For a little while I have been working on hacking N64 roms (namely Super Mario 64) and although I have a very basic grasp on what I am doing, like understanding a little about how r4300i ASM works and all assembly for that matter, and a basic understanding on what's placed in the main memory, I really, still don't know what I am doing. So I have a few questions, since seemingly a few people here seem to be more knowledgeable about these things. 1. What are some good resources for this? I have found things on zophar, dextrose, and a number of other sites, although I am sure I am missing things because I don't have the patience to sift through pages and pages of google search results. 2. I have not tried this yet, but is there any perfect assembler/disassembler combination that can actually perfectly rebuild a disassembled rom? From what I have seen, all the programs I found still "have bugs/issues to work out" and if there are bugs, obviously that is slightly useless to me. 3. By looking at the RAM, besides graphics and level data and various buffers, what else can be seen? What can I make out of looking at code stored in memory? And how do you isolate what things do? Do you use debuggers or do you (like I have tried) corrupt the RAM and see what changes? All that has done for me is crash the emulator. 4. I have seen a number of references online pertaining to Super Mario 64's compression, but all references point to pages that don't exist anymore. And while I am at it, what are the (or how can I find out about the) specific graphical formats? I have looked at freeze states and found graphics of various types, but I don't know how the data is placed since I loaded the ram into Photoshop in various formats and found images then. 5. What specific programs might be able to help me? 6. Does anybody have any other information that might be helpful? I could try to go alone on this, but if anybody has any information of their own that they would not mind sharing, I would like it. 7. I have read a lot about byteswapped files and such, but I am not sure which format is most useful. The ultimate goal of this is to hack Super Mario 64, which is my favorite game of all time. I would like to do more than a basic hack though, I want to do something big with it. Well, I have a 4 month summer vacation here, and regardless of how much I do I will still be bored so this seems to be a good idea for now. |

| Yeah, I figured that an all-out ASM hack would not be possible yet. All I have found seems to indicate this. I have been out of hacking for a long time and I am just returning because I would really like to...well...hack again. As for what I have hacked: not much, just looking at a lot of data. Nothing related to assembly. I have loaded different graphics into the RAM just to mess around, but that is too simple, and that's not a permanent change anyway. I have not been able to do much yet. I am just looking to see if any more has been done, and if anyone can answer the questions I have, or if I have to solve those on my own. I guess my ambitions are impossibly high, but I like it that way. |

| I don't even know if this is possible, nor even what to look for online when it comes to this, so I will ask here. Let's say there's a program running on my computer that uses some array or variable or something, and for whatever reason, I would like to view and edit the contents of that array during runtime from a completely separate program. I know somehow I would need to be able to read the entire RAM and then find the exact location where the program stores its variables and such, and then read/write to it from a remote program. Is that even possible to do? I don't see why it wouldn't be, but for all I know, the operating system might not allow programs to access the data of another running program, for security and safety reasons. If that's possible to do (in C++), does anyone have any ideas?  |
