You're welcome my friend!

I figured the pictures would probably help. I'll let you know as soon as I finish writing
the exact compression with the sliding window. I have a few other things that I'm working
on and I have work tomorrow so maybe Tuesday or Wednesday Ill have time to get another
update for you.

@cospefogo
Hey, my friend! Just checking in to see if you did anything with contra to
"CHANGE the number of the subsequent levels"? If not, I could finish the code
for you.

"ROM address D3500"
This is not a rom address this is a pc address. D3500(pc) = $9A:B500(rom), $9A:B500 - 84:8000 = $16:3500
00 35 16 would be the pointer.

"I change both pointers to 00350B and 90390B"
These pointers do not look like they are correct.

Here is a test program that can convert gfx to a usable format by never activating
the sliding widow 0 bits. It just uses the 1 bits to load non-compressed data. I
wont have time until probably next week to finish writing a exact compressor but
this should work for now for you to run some test with the graphics showing in game.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2psp7fr0kcjcbsc/BlackthorneCompressor_Test.rar/file

Open your gfx that you want compressed (no larger than 0xfff) then compress and it will
create a usable file to place in the rom. What I did to test the gfx to make sure they loaded
was I put the gfx at 9f:f000 and the pointer is at 84:80a0. The pointer that I used was
00 70 1b. 84:8000 + 1b:7000 = 9f:f000.

Sorry, but I do not know of a utility. I did take a look at the format and it is a simple
sliding window format. Do you have the file for the new font? I could get it compressed
for you if you do.

Code: [Select]

dma from rom to ram
80:9F92 00   //from rom 0x1000 times without incrementing rom address
7e:4000      //to ram 0x1000 times with incrementing ram address

This 0x00's out 07e:4000-7e:4fff

compressed gfx format
xx xx = 2bytes = size

xx    = 1 byte of compression bit flags, 1's = no compression just load a byte, 0's = start sliding window compression

xx yx = 2 sliding window compression bytes, switch order to yx xx, y = y + 3 which is how many bytes to load
        x xx + 7e:4000 = sliding window position

Looks like a sliding window compression but I could be wrong.

You're welcome Vag!   I'm glad I was able to help you.

I figured it was something like needing to be approved.
Yes, mine are published immediately.

I don't really think it was a bug but I guess it just depends how someone looks at it.
I wouldn't include it in a bug patch but you could include the source when you upload
your translation if you like. If #1 and #2 are bugs and you fix them I think you should
create a separate patch for each one and upload them.

After you test it thoroughly and if everything works, when you you upload it and
mention my name for the assembly bug fix, can you mention it for my contributions
on for my profile? I only have a few contributions and most of them are for helping
other people with translations.

The other stuff your working on sounds interesting and its awesome that you are teaching
your son.

Thanks for offering to send me more details for the round editor but I don't really have
any interest in Micro Machines. I think it was my 1st time playing it. I just seen you were
almost finished with your translation and I thought I could help you. It was fun, I like
fixing bugs. If you run into any other problems I'll try to help if I can.

I had replied, but my reply wasn't published.

This is odd
1st time I have seen a delay in a post like this before. Even your
last post only showed up within the last few hours. I wonder what
caused the delay. I'm not sure whats going on with the post its very
strange but hopefully the patch I made works for you.

Well that's one bug down.

Anytime you think you found a bug its always good to check if it
occurs on real hardware or one of the most accurate emulators.

Can you edit just one of the strings like how you would in your
translation but using original rom instead and show a picture of
the bug, the data, and pointer for the string? The patch would
also probable help.

I can see the bug with 2 players using H(0x48) instead of a space(0x20)


Do you need the H to move over to the right by 4 tiles on row 0x0D?
Do you have pointers for the names?

It looks like 2 and 3 players need their own string. Would that fix
it instead of them both sharing the same string?


update:
I might be able to write new code so you wouldn't need to add this:
FE 0B 0D 20
FE 13 0D 20
FE 1B 0D 20

I just need the pointers to the names so I can do a test. If I
cant write code for that then I can create a new string so player 2
and player 3 will have their own. I don't even need a patch or more
pictures just those pointers to the names.

a patch for it but here is the code.

I tried to reproduce bug #3 but I couldn't replicate the bug.
Do you have a picture of bug #3 and #4? Do you know if these bugs
occur in real hardware or bsnes?

It wasn't a question that needed answering. I was just letting you know
that there is no reason to post the same question in 2 different sections.
Your programming section post was obviously deleted by a moderator.
Not really sure why you are acting like you didn't post the same question
in programming section but, ok, if that makes you feel better.

is there a chance this SA1 hack could be ported over to Megaman X2?

That's a good question. I know if you remove all of the cx4 chip features you can add the
sa-1 chip. But can you use both chips at the same time?

I think I might have been mistaken about the event for the bats because
I didn't see one when I did a play through.

I pm'd you some of my mmx patches.

I might be mistaken but I think there is a event that makes the bats fly away but I’m not sure if the editor supports it if there even is a event for it.

Completely new enemy sounds great! Do you have anything in mind? Do you do any sprite work? If you don’t have anything yet for a mini boss I might have something if there is a spriter willing to help. I have a mini boss that I never completed but he is a interesting one if he ever gets finished.

I’ll see about putting some of my mmx stuff together. If you haven’t seen it your in for a treat

Awesome! Looking forward to the next update.

The only other thing that I seen that might be a issue is the 2 bats by the leg upgrade. They could hit you when you talk to dr light.

I know my feedback probably hasn’t been favorable. I’m no master wordsmith like FAST6191 but hopefully my not so favorable feedback with some of the things that I point out will benefit you into some more favorable feedback

It would be nice to see some before and after pictures of the levels when you make new ones if that is possible. I’m also interested in hearing your ideas and how much you have planned for mmx. Not sure if you have seen some of the things that I have worked on for mmx but they might interest you.

L dashing is so much better than using A to dash, because it frees your fingers up to dash, jump and shoot at the same time without having to rock your thumb awkwardly or do the "claw" with your thumb and index finger.

Have you ever tried using your left thumb for the d-pad and your right index, middle, and ring fingers to dash, jump, and shoot? I don’t use my right thumb at all to press any buttons and I destroy everything in my path with ease. 

Even off the wall is very easy for me with that method. I play with the original button settings like that but everyone has their own way of playing.

@bosn
Here are a couple things for that level.

The vram and color palette is not correct in the beginning of the game for the flying bug and the snowball when going to the left.


Also towards the end of the level when the snowball hits the wall.

« on: September 08, 2020, 01:31:58 am »

Yes.
It is super simple.

In that hex editor for the snes debugger I posted change
rom to ram.

00:0086 Is the same as 7e:0086

00:0086 is where the value is stored for the current level

create a savestate right before you kill the 1st boss

kill the 1st boss and watch that value change at 00:0086 as it’s going to the next level

reload savestate kill 1st boss again and change the value at 00:0086 to something like 01, 02, 03..... and see what happens

You need to run a trace before the value at 00:0086 changes to catch the code that you need to edit

If you don’t know how to trace the code then thats when you come back here and say:

How do I run a trace to catch the code?

And someone will say.........


I can show you the path but it is you who must walk the path
my friend

You can do it

I don't know how this is useful without a custom ROM (or an ACE exploit), though.

Could the custom rom be in between the cart and the console like a game genie?
