Hi,

How do I properly corrupt an SMB ROM using Corrupster? Could you please direct me to any how-to videos if available so I can get the proper hang of using this program?

Thank you,



Ben

One brute force method to finding data is to corrupt the ROM by half, and see if what you're looking for is located in there. And then into fourths, then eights, and so on until you find what you're looking for.

It can also be used, depending on the options given, to help figure out what data is what exactly, by observing the changes that happen (this is a much more controlled kinda thing, and is kinda hard to explain).

That's all I can think of--haven't done anything like it since I was looking for terrain data in Famicom Wars years ago :/

Do I enter the ROM values as their CPU brethren ($8000-$FFFF) or as the physical values ($0000-$7FFF)?

There's really no need to corrupt SMB when this exists.
