Anybody got "Super Mario 64" ntsc-u compiled with optimization-flag -O2?
In summer it was discovered through the decompilation-project that the ntsc-versions weren't compiled with that flag (pal was), and compiling the game with that flag results in considerable increase in performance (less/no stuttering in intense scenes n sheeet).

Has anybody else played the Sin of Mana for seiken densetsu 3? I think it is enjoyable but flawed. It revamps completely the gameplay at the cost of having spreadsheet autism. The first class change at lv18 happens at first visit of the wind corridor, and the second one at lv38 after the desert and before the ice field, I can't remember. Equipment is no longer just higher damage and defense, it now gives other effects like better heals and more techbar gain.

I’m both impressed and freaked out by this collection. Besides a few minor differences in nomenclature and sorting (I write [T-Eng] instead of [En], I space hacks like this [Hack 1 + Hack 2] and not like this [Hack1+Hack2], I separate translations from improvement hacks, etc.), this collection is VERY similar to my own, there’s like a 50% match in the games selection. So it was very easy for me to take new hacks and updates I was missing and add them to my own.

The hack in general has a lot of problems, mostly in part due to things needing to be shoehorned in to reach a particular deadline. I also found a few videos online of people playing it, and it's weird to see my "clever" level design completely backfire. I'm glad you enjoyed it at least. There are something like tutorial levels just scattered around at random in the overworld, but nothing really forces you to go through them.
In future versions, where the basics of plot are starting to get laid out, there will be an entire submap dedicated to just setting up the story and tutorials for the game and its nonlinear world.

>good tutorial do not need to tell you the button inputs
I kind of agree, but sometimes you need mediocre tutorials that spell things out. I've seen a lot of players who aren't really attentive towards hints, and I'm not going to be clever about nudging someone towards using the select button to store their held item or whatever.

What are some important rom hacks to fix problems in the original game?

I'll start. The NTSC/US version of Mario 64 for the N64. This was a release title and at the time the compiler buggy so they compiled it without any optimizations. Someone de-compiled the ROM and re-compiled it with the -O2 flag. This fixes the lag issues so it runs at a steady 30 FPS and doesn't dip into the low 20s during demanding parts of the game like in the official version. I haven't tested if this improved emulation performance on slow devices.

what's the best shining hack for shining force 2?

[Anonymous No.6181325]

I hope everyone did their homework from last time. Lets continue giving Link a machine gun.
So I'm just gonna assume you found the two graphics of the sword in Legend of Zelda and were able to draw bullets in place of the sword. If you have done so, you can post your results or if you are having trouble, ask a question.

Next thing we want to do is to make it so link always has sword beams. I was going to do another simple thing wherein we used the cheat search to locate link's HP, but it turns out life is a little more complicated than a simple value, so we'll skip that part and I'll just tell you how things are.
Link has a value for # of heart containers and # of hearts filled that are combined on one byte, plus another byte that handles the partial heart. Since we want to find the check that must happen to look for full life when the game generates a sword beam we should set a breakpoint on the address for links life, $066F will do.

When we run the game we find that it breaks every frame. This won't do so since it's always breaking on $ED18, let's put a condition on the breakpoint so that if the PC (Program counter, or P to the breakpoint) is at ED18, it ignores it. That condition looks like "P!#ED18". We let it run and quickly find that it also breaks at 6D0D, so we tell it to ignore that too by putting the condition as "P!=#ED18&&P!=#6D0D". Now it can run and we try stabbing nothing in particular and find that right before it generates a sword beam, it breaks at $F865. Seems like this may be it.

This post is getting too long, so I'll continue in the next one. Till then you may want to follow along the best you can and see if you can get to the same part of the code and see if you can figure out what it's doing yourself.

[Anonymous No.6181525]

Like I said, this is a bit more advanced than what I would have liked to get into right now, but being in over your head is and working things out is something of a reoccurring theme in romhacking.

The previous breakpoint stopped thing at $F865, I'll break down the code with some comments;

// Here we split the hearts byte in half and check that they match
LDA $066F // Grab the hearts
PHA // keep a copy for later
AND #$0F // Chop of the upper half
STA $0000 // Set that value aside.

PLA // Grab that copy of the hearts from earlier
LSR // Scoot the top half to the bottom of the byte
LSR
LSR
LSR

CMP $0000 // Check the # of hearts vs. the # of filled hearts
BNE $F854 // And bail if they are different

// Now check the end heart and see if it's full
LDA $0670 // Grab the partial heart
CMP #$80 // If it's less than %10000000...
BCC $F854 // ...then bail

// Finally, if we make it here, then there must be full life.
LDA #$01
JSR $6D7C

So, how do we bypass these checks and always say life is filled to the sword shooting routine?
Lets's just JMP to just past all these checks!

Let's take the three bytes at $F865 (AD 6F 06, the LDA $066F) and make it a JMP $F87D (4C 7D F8)
But how? See that empty gutter on the leftmost of the Debugger? Left click that area just to the left of " 07:F865:AD 6F 06 LDA $066F = #$22". This will bring up the inline assembler and you can enter the new line of assembly. Alternatively, you can right click that same area to bring up that line the Hex Editor, in the rom. Now use a resource like http://6502.org/tutorials/6502opcodes.html to find out what the bytes for that command would be and type the hex directly into the rom.

Don't forget to save the rom if it works. And yes, I say that from experience.

anyone have an opinion about:
If you are creating a romhack, at what point is it acceptable to place your "name" in various, easy to see places in the hack ?
is it okay if you're not trying to make a sequel?
is it bad to name your hack after yourself(like if barbarousking named his super mario world hack "barbarousking-world")?
Is it bad to name your hack after someone else(as is common in super mario world-grand poo bear world etc)?
Is it okay to place your name on the title screen and in the credits?
or should you always try to keep your name out of the hack and only in a readme file?
at what point does placing your name in the hack go from being "just credits" to being narcissistic/annoying?

[Anonymous No.6181987]

>>6181854
If the hack is named after the creator and there's a little copyright symbol with their name, I just think it's a little silly and move on. I doubt anyone really cares about the name too much unless it appears a lot in the actual hack itself - like you are Barbarousking and you collect Barbarouskoins in the world of Barbarouskingdom.
So don't go overboard and keep it contained to the title screen and credits (and even an additional readme file, go nuts) and nobody will really pay it any mind.

Bullets should be faster than swords. Let's make Link's machine gun shoot faster.
This will be that simpler lesson I thought the life would be.

First let's go into the cave and pick up the wooden bullets from the old man in the cave. Go to the side of the cave and start shooting at the far end. As soon as you shoot, pause the game with the select button.
Open up the cheat search and hit the "reset" button to start things off.
Go back to the main game window and just let it run a bit while paused.
Switch back to the cheat search and hit the "equal" button.
Return to the game and quickly unpause, then pause it again.
On the cheat window press the "not equal" button.

Repeat these last two steps a few times. What we're doing here is trying to isolate the X position of the sword beam.
Continue doing this till you're left with only a handful of values.

Now you should be able to watch the list of values and see which one moves when the bullets move and don't when it doesn't.
We should have an address. Guess what we do with it now.

Man this is bullshit.
I put a breakpoint on the bullet's Xpos and found:
An initialization function to start the beam (and how to adjust the spawn point higher or lower on link.)
A couple of bounds checking functions for the edge of screen.
And a function to move the beam one pixel at a time, which is called three times in a row. This is also used in moving link too, so making the bullets go faster would require much more fuckery than I'd want to go through.
