I had been hacking "disney aladdin" for sega genesis for months, so I decided share my findings.

lifes have a limit of 9

apples and gems have a limit of 99

Give or take the thing with the 00 those numbers are in ASCII (3 followed by a number is that number in ASCII, one of the little niceties the creators of it went in for) which is quite strange as these things go, especially on older systems where memory and CPU was at a premium (while not outrageous that does not make things all that much easier to code for and has a lot of downsides).

I have encountered binary coded decimal (even 5,3,2,-1 format), values using the top bit as a flag for something else and split values between values before but this one is odd for a console game.

Cool info.

Hi Metal64 , great findings you did on this awesome game...
Does the 1st addresses may be found in Hex Editor?

And I think you're aware of Alladin secrets https://gamehistory.org/aladdin-source-code/
If not, it may help you in some way or just for curiosity...

[Metal64]

In the offset "0x1dbe" we can see this code

Code: [Select]

00 1a f4 68     ori.b      #0x68,(A2)
This code it is referent to the apples function (when you touch a apple you gain 1 apple)

now let's go to the offset "0x1d96"

Code: [Select]

00 1a f5 16     ori.b      #0x16,(A2)+
This is the code for the black lamp, when you touch it, the lamp explodes and damages nearby enemies

Now let's go again to the "0x1dbe" offset and change the values ​​of "00 1a f4 68" to "00 1a f5 16". With this change every time that you pick up an apple it will explode like a black lamp. We can change all the entities function with this logic. We can make a projectile of a enemie restore our health, make an enemy sell you items or even make an item like an apple damage you.

Here is the list of the entities function

Hi Metal64 , great findings you did on this awesome game...
Does the 1st addresses may be found in Hex Editor?

And I think you're aware of Alladin secrets https://gamehistory.org/aladdin-source-code/
If not, it may help you in some way or just for curiosity...

Nelson

I'm already aware of the cut contents of this game! Now, what did you mean about "the 1st addresses"?

[Metal64]

I think that I have post everything that I could find, later on when I start to hacking this game again, I will update this thread, meanwhile you guys can check out some cheat codes that I made for this game.

The right place for this info is on Data Crystal ROM and RAM maps.

Im familiar with NES hacking tools, what do you use for the genesis?

I use ghidra as my disassembler, for debugging I use regen, cheat engine for real time hacking and HxD as my hex editor.
