500KB of NSFW dual-monitor goodness

Once I finish Desktop Gadgets V2.0 I intend to have randomly-selected wallpapers from everything pleasent to look at, from these people to nature scenes to comic strips. Until then, though, I just stick with this one. Temporary crap goes on the left, other icons go on the right. The black spot in the top left corner isn't shown on either monitor. (Only one can do 1600x1200. The other's at 1152x864.) Also yes, those are custom icons - right-clicking on Power shows options such as Shut Down, Restart, etc, and similar for the rest. Just exploiting file associations.

Somewhat ironic, the image on the left came from someone else's desktop shot.

The problem isn't the size of the patch, it's the size of the ROM. If any changes are made past the first 16MB of the ROM (past offset 0x01000000), IPS won't be able to record them.

Anyway I'm glad you're dedicated, but trust me, sleeping for 8 hours and then coding for 1 is probably a better idea than coding for 9 hours without sleep. Coding - sleep = bad.

Heh, funny you should say that. Here's the source of the actual editor so far:

//mk64edit.cpp (todo: proper name)
#include "main.h"

/*
Entry point - we use main() instead of WinMain() with SDL
*/
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
atexit(Unload);
DebugOut(DO_MAJOR | DO_NO_ERROR, "Hello world\n");
return 0;
}


/*
Called at program exit
*/
void Unload()
{
printf("Unload()\n");
}

All I've been doing is testing SDL. I just now got it to work with two monitors and not redirect console output (which required recompiling SDL, which required installing Cygwin, etc etc... ).

Lemme guess, you had the picturebox's scale set to Twips (whatever the hell those are) instead of Pixels?

Well as long as this thread is here, the editor looks nice. Those big "load room" and "save room" buttons and the space above them is kinda wasteful though. You could put those in the File menu and move the Room # and Map boxes up a lot.

Posted on 06-23-06 02:34 AM, in Compiler warning when using specific variable Link
I know it's possible to generate a compiler warning if a specific flag is #defined, like this:

#ifdef SOME_FLAG
#warning SOME_FLAG is defined
#endif

Is it possible, though, to make it give a warning when a certain global variable is used? #ifdef and #if defined don't seem to catch variables. The reason is I have a piece of code that I include into most of my programs, and previously it required you to define a FILE* as a global variable for it to use, and fclose() this when done. I recently changed it to not require this anymore, but if that fclose() call is left in, the program will crash trying to close a file that was never opened. The only thing I can think of to avoid this is to generate a warning if that variable is defined. Can this be done?

Like I mentioned before, ideally, the editor should be able to compress everything back down into one 8-16MB ROM once you're ready to release the hack. That would pretty much solve the IPS problem. A better patch format would be nice, though, especially since IPS provides no way to ensure you have the correct byte order.

It's illegal to distribute the ROM itself; you need to make an IPS patch or similar.

There's <code> tags, just not [code] tags.

Anyway the programs in question didn't do this check because it wasn't necessary. The variable would always be valid. What I want to do now is have it warn me when compiling a program that still uses this method, so I can remove all references to that variable entirely. Else I fear I'll find myself spending several hours trying to find out why it crashes on exit, because it's still trying to close that file that's no longer being opened.

Either way, I highly suggest you include everything in one file. That is, with Blocktool you need the .bin file, plus a list of what each offset should be, and sometimes an IPS patch. Then you need to add the block to the database manually, set the offsets and info, and apply the patch. It'd be far better if all of this info was contained in the file (either as a block of data in a .bin file, or comments in ASM source), so you can just drop the file into whatever directory it reads them from, open the program, and add it to the ROM.

Also please don't make it keep the files in the same directory as the program itself like Blocktool does, it makes a horrible mess. Put them in their own subdirectory like \Sprites or something. It'd look a lot neater that way.

Most if not all emulators have problems with Gameshark codes that modify the game program. Try resetting the game after activating the code, or in Nemu, press Ctrl+K. If all else fails use the Interpreter core; it's slow, but it'll work. (Unless the code actually doesn't work, or you have the wrong version. )

BTW for speed mods, you usually want to stick to values around 4n80. It's a floating-point value (specifically, the upper half of one), so it's not a direct conversion - 0x3F800000 is 1, 0x3C23D70A is 0.01, etc.

The game downloads and runs encrypted code from the server, which checks whether you launched it from a real DS card.

So its basically making posts that won't add anything in threads that are over a month old?

Pretty much, yes. The general rule is don't reply to threads that are beyond the first page with the default threads-per-page setting, but the exact number varies depending on how active the forum is. There's an exception if you're adding useful info to a ROM hacking thread, like if you were to bring up some 6-month-old Super Mario Bros 3 thread about hacking overworld maps to post information you found about the overworld map. That's about it.

That's great, but this isn't SM64. I don't know why the codes don't work on your MK64 ROM, probably you're using the wrong version.
