My Summercart 64 finally came in. I'm so excited to play some mods for 64 on native hardware. That said, rec me some of the best 64 ROMhacks. I love Banjo and haven't played any Banjos Backpack mods, I love Mario 64 but have only really played Star Road and Mario's Nightmare. Gonna get into DK64 Randomizer scene. Any other major title mods would also be welcome

is there a good tutorial somewhere for learning how to disassemble and document GB or GBC roms? I've already managed to generate the disassembly but have no idea how to start figuring out which pieces of code do what.

[Anonymous No.10980246]

I've been curious about using Wiseguy's N64 Decompilation tool to create N64 ports for the Original Xbox.

>Xbox has a standard x86 Intel CPU so the decompiled code itself should compile and work fine with minimal surprises
>Dario's RT64 renderer used in the Zelda64 Recomp cannot be ported to the Xbox since it requires Vulkan or DX12 and a CPU with AVX
>Xbox has an old N64 emulator called Surreal64 which is a combination of PJ64, UHLE, and Mupen with various versions of the Rice video plugin

I'm still new to the N64 and emulation in general, but hypothetically speaking could RT64 be replaced with an older version of Rice Video seeing as they both provide implementations of the same N64 rendering functions? If the old emulator plugin code could be used then it would mostly come down to hooking everything up and handling the gamepad/IO.

My understanding is that the N64 Decomp tool spits out raw source code, then the programmer has to go and provide replacement functions for every call the code makes to an N64 SDK function.

Don't even waste your time with anything else until you've learned the skills required to do that successfully. The ability to think logically, map out processes and break them down into logical steps, etc.
Once you've achieved this you can move on to the next step. And you won't even need me to give it to you, because you will have developed the skills to work out what it is all on your own.

I already know how to code. I just don’t know how to get started mapping the ASM in a meaningful way. Like I can read it and see what memory is being accessed when, it’s just a matter of figuring out how to relate that back to the game. I assume there’s a debugger or something people like to use, but I’m not finding a whole lot of information about how to get started.

[Anonymous No.10983547]

>>10983531
You could try out some debugging emulators like BGB or emulicious (the latter is said to have more features, but I've never used it personally). Also, I recommend generating debugging symbols for the ROM if you can. If you've already managed to build a matching ROM from your disassembly, then this should be fairly straightforward.

[Anonymous No.10983684]

>>10983531
>I already know how to code.
No, you don't.
>Like I can read it and see what memory is being accessed when
That's not coding. That's recognizing letters and numbers. Most preschoolers can do this. The difference is they're smart enough to know that doesn't mean they know how to code.
>it’s just a matter of figuring out how to relate that back to the game
That's the part that requires knowing how to code.
>but I’m not finding a whole lot of information about how to get started.
That's because you don't have the basic skills required to code. One of those is problem solving. You can't even solve a problem as simple as finding reference/instructional material. How do you imagine you'll solve a problem such as "what do all these letters and numbers I don't understand make the game do".
But you have far more fundamental problems to solve first. A key one being to overcome the delusion that you know things you don't.

Be able to read ASM is a key part of coding ASM and if you think a preschooler can do it you're an idiot.

And you already admitted you can't do that. You can read the letters and numbers but you don't know what they do. Yes, preschoolers can do the same.

Look at those memory addresses in a memory viewer while the game is running, maybe try tweaking their values to see what happens. Once you figure out what the variables are, you should be able to understand the purpose of the code.

Do you? almost nothing on that github page is useful for GB/C.

[Anonymous No.10984291]

>>10984279
IDA is useful anywhere, and the RE tutorial linked there shows how to use it with a GBA game. Find a loader for IDA that supports your ROMs, find some basic symbols (like strlen and memmove), look at the referenced strings (like error messages and paths) and go from there.
If someone already decompiled a game that uses the same SDK version as your game does, get the basic symbols from there.

[Anonymous No.10984337]

>>10984291
While IDA can be useful, I don't think it's that good for GB/C especially if anon already has a full disassembly of the game.

[Anonymous No.10984389]

>>10984337
He wants to find out what a function does. You don't get that from a textwall of asm dump, you get it from a graph of said function (which IDA generates for you), from things which the function calls and references, and from things which call it with arguments.
As long as the CPU is supported by IDA, it doesn't matter (much) which CPU exactly it is, everything else is a matter of finding a way to shove your ROM/dump into IDA, and people most certainly have made loaders/scripts for something as popular as GB(C). If not for (easily piratable and working version) IDA, then for Ghidra.

Pretty sure there's a lot of info on gbatemp somewhere as well.
Many FE and Pokemon games have symbols other people have already recognized, find what can be ported from these into your ROM and you'll have the basics covered.

[Anonymous No.10984420]

>>10984389
Interesting. Personally I never found the graph view to be useful at all, but maybe I should give it another try. Looking at function calls and references however can be done with just a disassembly.
But either way I don't think IDA would help anon much. He seems to already be able to understand what the code is doing, but can't figure out how it relates to the game. Dynamic analysis using an emulator is what he really needs.

[Anonymous No.10984456]

>>10984420
Out of all the emulators of PSX/PS2/PSP/DS I've worked with, none provide an overview of the func you're working with, like Cheat Engine does for PC for example. You get a small window with just a fragment of it which can be useful sometimes, but way more often you want just a general idea rather than the details of this specific implementation.
While a self-sufficient emulator sure would be handy, in practice you'll have to run an emulator, Cheat Engine and IDA side by side and switch between all 3 (and occasionally to a hex editor, calculator, Notepad++, tech docs etc.), and that's only when dealing with the logic and small amounts of data. Way more when you're modding or translating rather than pure hacking or cheat making. Neither dynamic nor static analysis alone is enough, you have to work with many tools at the same time.

[Anonymous No.10984467]

>>10984456
By disassembly I meant a separate project like the one anon seems to be making and not what's shown in an emulator. In such a disassembly you can use standard text editing tools to navigate around and search for references to symbols. You can also rename labels and write notes in form of comments.
While it might be slightly less convenient than using dedicated static analysis tools, it does have much of the same functionality.

Could always take the Dangan GB approach and software-render the bullets (see https://snorpung.itch.io/dangan-gb and https://snorpung.itch.io/dangan-gb2 ). If it's fast enough for the GB and GBC, then surely they GBA can pull it off too.

Dangan GB draws the bullets manually onto the background. It's not using sprites. Whether that's of any use is up to you. It's just another approach to avoid sprite limits that works even on much weaker hardware.

[Anonymous No.10991694]

>>10991623
That is interesting. Sounds like it's probably using bit blitting, or at least a technique similar to it.

I'm surprised that's more efficient, or even easier, than scanline related tricks and hardware sprites.

[Anonymous No.10991724]

>>10991694
Reloading OAM on the original GB results in sprites being hidden for several scanlines, so it's not really suitable for a shmup. As for whether it's more efficient... it probably isn't, if I had to guess.

[Anonymous No.10991769]

>>10991724
On the GBA it should much faster to multiplex bullet sprites using HDMA than to software render them on a background, unless bullets are 2x2px squares or something similar.
By using sprites you also get more VRAM for prettier backgrounds.

Similar reasoning behind both. I'd like to find ROM hacks that brought the original (SNES and PSX respectively) versions to be a comparable experience to the DS and PSP Remakes.

Use emuliscious debugger to run through the code, read about the op codes for gb and also the nintendo developer documents. The cpu is partially related to z80 so if you learn z80 assembly you will be on your way. An example is jumping height, just monitor the memory editor until you find the value that changes when you jump and then put in a trigger point, this is often on the first or second page. You got to start somewhere, just concentrate on loading and storing instructions to start with.

Posting this here since the Herc's Adventure thread died before I could. Here's a secret that isn't in a gamefaqs or on any other site.
Pic related is the very start of the game. Before you unlock that first door, hop on the catapult again. Keep looping around until that wall near the very start is broken down by a cyclops. That red circled area behind that wall is where you will find two potions to turn yourself into a pig.
The blue lines over there in the lower right are a hidden passage. Drink a pig potion and take that passage to the end. You'll find two signs, each gives you 10 of each subweapon and 10 gyros. There's one potion and one sign for each player if doing co-op, or you can take both if playing solo. Just remember to not hop into the water while a pig, or you will die instantly.
I saw this mentioned once somewhere, and I've never been able to find the source again. I posted about it here years ago, but I have never seen this mentioned on any cheat website or guide for this game.

PSP\SAVEDATA\ULJS00244* folders in wherever PPSSPP's memory stick folder is on the Switch, zip them up and upload to mega, catbox.moe or elsewhere.

Here's your shroom. Enable cheats in PPSSPP, edit cheat file and copy-paste the following in there:
_S ULJS-00244
_G La Pucelle: Ragnarok [JP]
_C0 Elixshroom in Shop
_L 0x10020FDC 0x00000338
This replaces one of the three obligatory items (Change Up) in the shop with item_id=0x338 Elixshroom. You can try other values as item_id, there's at least one other item which recovers more SP than this.
Used UMD (not PSN!) ISO from myrient, applied ENG patch v1.1.2 from gamebrew.

Regarding your links, the SM64 Advance one looks cool (but I sadly don't see a real game coming from that) but it's sad that the Mario Sunshine one is a PC game rather than actually made as a GBC rom.

Yes. From my brief parsing of the source code a couple of weeks ago, the front-end of it is detached from the renderer. You could really replace it with anything that can simulate whatever the N64 GPU is doing (probably by just translating the calls to DirectX APIs).

>No way to perform this on the Switch version?
Emulate it, search for the three obligatory item_id's (pic related) in a close proximity to each other, replace them with whatever items you want. If you want that as a cheat, you'll need a hacked Switch with CFW and cheating module (Edizon I think?). No way for an OFW Switch, of course.

>Also with what you've isolated so far, is there anything in there that indicates how "item_id=0x338 Elixshroom" is naturally obtained in-game?
Like I said a while back, I need a savedata where I can quickly "naturally obtain" items of the same tier as your shroom, more or less. The shop was the easiest way, but the obligatory are hardcoded (rather than randomly picked from some drop table) arguments of item-generating function. With some luck this function is also called during random loot generation, and if so, it will be easy to find the drop table (if any), where it is in the ISO and it format, then quickly scan all the tables (if any) for the wanted item_id to make sure it does (not) drop. What will remain is figuring out which table belongs to which stage, that will be up to you because no way I'm playing through this grindfest myself.

>figuring out which table belongs to which stage
So it turns out there's just one drop table for all stages and (surprise surprise?) it has no Elixshroom. Each table entry contains item rank, item_id of the first item in the interval, id of the last item, chance of getting an item from this interval.
This is what the dark portals drop upon purification (destruction). I don't know how to get the shroom legitimately, but I know that it's impossible to get it from the purification in the PSP version at least.
This table is takara.dat file compressed inside start_jp.dat container found in PSP ISO, use the toolpak posted in the GBATemp thread of the game to extract and decompress it. Item names and id's are in the adjacent kis.dat, although it seems they are the same as in the PS2 version, listed in

Frig, I was worried about that
Though if true, it's somewhat gratifying to know that I'm not crazy for thinking the purifying of portals was getting me nowhere

If it doesn't EVER drop from portal purification...
What other ways are there to "get" items

And the end of every chapter, a prize is awarded for Normal, Good or Special Endings (I think Bad Endings get nothing? Maybe

There's some kind of item mechanic when you send a monster unit away into the Dark World (read: eliminate the unit from your party) - if the monster has items equipped, it attempts a fusion and gives you the top equipment back with fused values - if the monster has nothing equipped, it usually gives a Cough Drop (the lowest HP-healing consumable item)
I often wondered if it were possible to get "better" consumables out of higher quality monsters being dispatched

Also it's a longshot, but a couple of times in the story mode, you can get specific items from NPCs in towns (final chapter, a girl in the Orphanage gives a "Cactus Sword", for example)

I wonder if there's a daisy chain of events that allow someone to give you an Elixshroom?

I know there's three different areas where you can unlock access to talking mushroom people:
-> delivering the "mushroom essence" to Elizabeth the talking mushroom in Chapter 3, unlocks access to Eringa Valley, a small village of mms NPCs
-> Getting Good Ending in Chapter 4 unlocks MtChampignon, can talk with mushroom NPCs
-> Getting Bad Ending in Chapter 9, causes Couscous Village's population to be wiped out; upon revisiting, the vacant town is occupied by mushroom NPCs

Maybe having all mushroom areas unlocked, enables some kind of event to take place?
