He also never said it would be the same, but it would be close. This is evidenced by the fact that no rearranging of letters in the set b,i,o would be required. I can't believe I care enough about this to post about it.

The problem I have with command line apps is that working with files that are in distant folders from the application, typing the full address is painful. And what if you have multiple files in different folders you need to address? When I use Xkas, I put all my files in the same folder and shorten their names to 3 letters + 3 letter extension. No wonder I want to write a front end for it.

And I had someone show me how to write batch files a while ago, but I forgot most of it. I did not grow up on DOS b/c I had a Mac when I was younger. And yeah you can still look it up on the web, but it's more of a pain than just having a simple gui handle it all.

If it's Nintendo it's likely N-SPC, and therefore likely that $3D00 is your instrument table. The sample table is usually at $3C00. But without knowing your methods, I can't say for sure what you found.

Maybe by their titles they have little in common, but Story Forum is just an alias for Role Playing Forum. And given that Sim Battle (at least to me) seems like a type of Role Playing, although more limited in scope, it is still Role Playing. And hence they are very similar. edit: if not the same.

Um... I'm not sure if you know what you're editing exactly. I'd at least read up a bit on the SPC's and the DSP's registers, and how they work. I'll have to dig through my own notes to see how the instrument table is formatted.

Well what I have in the NSPC for Zelda 3 is the following code:


0CA4: F7 14 MOV A,($14)+Y

0CA6: C9 F2 00 MOV $00F2,X ; Take the first four bytes of the instrument block and write them to
0CA9: C5 F3 00 MOV $00F3,A ; Dsp registers $00v4 through $00v7. See SPC docs for more info.
0CAC: 3D INC X ; The loop writes to the SRCN, ADSR1 and ADSR2, and Gain.
0CAD: FC INC Y
0CAE: AD 04 CMP Y,#$04

0CB0: D0 F2 BNE $0CA4

0CB2: CE POP X
0CB3: F7 14 MOV A,($14)+Y
0CB5: D5 21 02 MOV $0221+X,A ; This is a big endian encoding. The last 2 bytes of the six byte instrument block
0CB8: FC INC Y ; Are stored to [$0220-1]+X
0CB9: F7 14 MOV A,($14)+Y
0CBB: D5 20 02 MOV $0220+X,A
0CBE: 6F RET


SRCN = source number or the index into the sample table. This denotes what sample to use.

ADSR1 and ADSR2, and GAIN are a little more complicated and you should find some documentation. The last two bytes of the block are... some kind of multipliers for the instrument that I haven't totally figured out yet. It's a lot of code to look through and a lot of guesswork at first.

Yes but Yu-Gi-Oh and MTG are of the same category, but different subtypes. The way I see it, Role Playing is the category, and Sim-Battle is the subtype. Therefore it would make sense that, unless there was lots of activity, that Sim-Battle should be grouped in with Role Playing. Unless you can show that Sim-Battle is fundentally different from role playing then I don't see you gaining much ground with Xk. You just keep repeating yourself that they are different but I see no attempt to explain why.

It does seem to save as long as I keep my browser open... but it reverts when I close it and reopen the application completely. For reference, I'm using Seamonkey, which is basically the new Mozilla browser. (not lololol)

edit: same in IE too

There is a difference between something being unknown/difficult to you and something being annoying to you. Command line is annoying, and batch files are annoying. You can copy+paste in a batch file though, whereas you cannot in a DOS environment.

So basically to make command line convenient you need to learn to use batch files, which grow more archaic every day.

Yes, however, it doesn't really contain any useful information on existing editors (links and such). A thread of this sort is a bit more useful than that sticky, I think.

Must staff postcount++ for every silly detail? (closing threads, unstickying, warning) Whatever happened to just doing something or PMing someone? In fact, why isn't this thread closed? I thought emunet was dead.

I'm probably going to get a new SNES when they can actually start making third party ones.

I've heard of the Gamepark32 handhelds, do they actually have an open source console out there?

I don't really know jackshit about Genesis... but is it possible you are using windows XP and the file that is being dumped is using Notepad? That might explain your garbage symbols problem. I had to remap all my text like files to Wordpad to view them correctly.

Also, this is a primarily Nintendo oriented community, as you can probably tell from the header image... either way, Sega knowledge is scarce here. Though, I know someone who is hacking Genesis code, I can ask if he can help you or not.
