I'd just move my existing site to it instead of hosting it on a friend's server I know nothing about. |

One benefit of learning Chinese or Japanese is you're halfway to learning the other. |

Originally posted by Shiryu It might, but chances are they're stored differently in ROM. I found the format for the objects in RAM a while back but it's nothing like their format in ROM.
Look at the L to Levitate code, and the debug code. To put it simply, the levitation code already includes a status modifier to make Mario jump. The debug code shows half of the value in-game.

If in fact they manage to find me I'll be sure to show them my collection of legally dumped ROMs and the cartridges they're dumped from. |

If they can damage the firmware, though, that could have happened to the previous owners. |

Same here. I've seen some games where Normal is piss-easy but Hard (the next step up) is impossible. |

Originally posted by Goomba Fondue Because the data in RAM has extra information like how many coins the object is holding, whether it still exists, whether it's currently visible, what it's doing, etc; information that's initially the same for all objects when the level is loaded (eg all Goombas will be holding one coin) and thus doesn't need to be specified for each object in ROM. Also, the game expands some things for faster processing, such as converting the coordinates from 16-bit integers to 32-bit floats.

I don't think that's it. The ROM chip being powered up basically scrambles RAM, or at least the data on its way to the CPU. The whole purpose of having a wait loop in RAM is so you can swap cartridges (since you can't rely on the contents of ROM during this period), but if the contents of RAM are unreliable, you can't do that, which leaves you with nowhere to stick your loop.
|
Hm, if you were to use a STP instruction though, could a circuit on the cartridge restart the CPU?

DKR might be interesting to poke at but there's a lot of things I want to get done first. |
Anyway I found the problem I've been having with textures, but it's a big problem. The game is splitting up large images into multiple textures or something, and I'm not entirely sure how. Most textures are 32x32, but occasionally you come across a 64x32 image. It seems like this gets broken up into two images, but both appear to be 64x32. (Try changing address 0x8996DD to 0x0D, then look at the audience stand in Mario Raceway. By specifying 0x0D you get the bottom half of 0x0C and the top half of 0x0E, because they're 64 pixels wide.)
It being 2:30 AM, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out exactly how and why a 64x32 image gets broken up as if it were 32x64, and still displayed as 64x32. Hopefully it'll make more sense in the morning.
That and I need to figure out how the game enables alpha blending and testing. ![]()

Some NES games have the graphics stored at the beginning of the ROM, and the code elsewhere. In the actual cartridge the code and graphics would be stored on two separate chips. |

I've fallen asleep on my arm before, then when I wake up it's laying on me but I can't feel it. It's as if my arm is missing and there's something heavy on me. |
I have to actually pick it up with the other hand and shake it.
