Yet again, I can't understand how a piece of software can suddenly "slip" into your computer without you doing anything particular... |

Yeah, I knew it, you added this detail to Data Crystal. But since the data was available, I added the field anyway, along with some others. Programmatically speaking, it was not a big deal...
Right now, I'm focusing on Side Scrolling Areas editing and Enemy AI variables... |

Ha, that's funny... Starfish is one of the applications I translated into French a few years ago...

Posted by Stifu With that kind of attitude, it's probably better that you don't get what you're looking for... Just off the bat, TheClaw seems more honest, he brought his points, and at least it doesn't look like he's trying to hide anything with pointless one-liners... |

THAT is a phenomenon I've witnessed many times in my life...
Something seemingly revolutionary appears from nowhere, but a similar thing have been there for many years already. In this case, it is called "Preview", it can read PDF files and exists since 2001 at least... |

I'm not ultra-ancient, I think integrated the community at the dawn of the 3rd incarnation, maybe the end of the 2nd. But I'm still quite a regular user and I enjoy the mix between specialized discussions (ROM Hacking) and the everyday things and jokes. But I don't think all of this should explode again and make it seem we have to start over. It's not necessary...
Personally, XKeeper is the only admin I know for sure he is (was) an admin. The other ones either don't participate directly in the board, or their status is not revealed. The first time I heard about Blackhole and al., if I remember well, is shortly after the new IRC channel/server was set up (#acmlm on kafuka.org). I was then welcomed by XKeeper, and a few days later, Blackhole, who was a stranger to me at that time, came and started bitching about how some admins were not doing their job on the board and/or channel, along with some other users. To my eye, this was just weird. XKeeper was like the good king who mixes up with the populace while doing the dirty job behind the curtains at the same time... So no offence to the other admins, they are probably doing their best too, but I don't think being strict about banning and moderating is a bad thing. Every community needs rules and a minimum of order. Not Orwell-style, just to filter the unwanted junk... |

There is a MANIFEST lack of maturiy around here...
Making fun of someone and then have the nerve to ask for explanations? Yeah, right... |

Those new threads are only taking space in the twilight zone and take a bit more bandwidth unnecessarily... |

Okay, not exactly cats, but almost... And about the same cuteness...
Baby raccoons I found on the side of the road, I caught them on my camera, both photo and film... Baby Raccoons |

I... Need... More... Variables...
I found only one, about the Red Leeders' descending height, and it's not very interesting... Right now, I'm hunting for this kind of opcode: B5 2A B5 A1 Etc... B5 is LDA with Zero Page,X. Which is probably used to point to enemies currently in the area. According to Ice Ranger, $2A is the first Zero Page memory for enemy X position. This is the kind of data I'm looking for, along with Y position, velocity, projectiles, AI, etc... At 0x5635 (0x5625 without header):
Basically, $05DC is $05DD + 60, which would translate into the starting Y position + 60 (pixels). But again, I can't do anything after the RTS... |

Huh oh, my app was infiltrated...
But hey! You're not supposed to open packages without permission! Heheh, anyway yes, I started working on the scroll view editor before releasing version 1.14, and since I only use one NIB file, I didn't go through the trouble of removing the window just for the release. Take it as part of "mysterious dummied data" that lurks in the prog's bundle... Wooo... |

Yeah, make the editor y... No, seriously, I'd say from experience that the game data part is quite easy for anyone with basic knowledge of arrays and pointers. But when graphics are involved, it becomes a little more complicated and less straightforward...
By the way, I found another variable: 0x5BE3 (default: 05) It defines the rate at which the Geldarms restretch themselves after being shrinked. Lower means faster... Try 00 for super speedy, and FF for agonizingly slow... |

It is a variant of the "joke shell", a psychology term... |

Okay, when I do ASM hacking and disassembly (?), I'm not exactly sure what to do about Opcode 20, which is Jump to Subroutine (JSR), with a 2-bytes operand. Since I don't have access to incredible software like FCEU or such, I can't do any RAM tracing. Chunks of data are often copied from ROM directly to RAM. The question also applies to JMP (4C).
My question is, how do I know where the pointer is actually pointing to? Here's a real example, with the Zelda II ROM, at 0x5C17: 20 A2 E9 So the reconstituted address is 0xE9A2. Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean I can go to 0xE9A2 in ROM and assume it's what happens in real-time. Sometimes you have to ajust the address according to specific factors, like RAM pages, mappers, etc... How can I make absolutely sure that I'm moving to the correct address? |

So basically, are there any way I can find out where to go in ROM according to my example?
What is the portion of ROM data that is stored at 0xC000? |
