nolberto82 codes

I found a video plugin that works with Banjo. Right now I'm working on Doom 64 I found the hit routine but I don't completely understand what is doing.

@Abystus: I may try your requests again at another time. Doom 64 looks impossible although I found the right location for a Hit Anywhere.

Trust me, I know your frustration. Recently I've ran into several games myself that have posed a suitable challenge (most I don't find a fix for). I appreciate you taking the time to look at them, and hopefully we will see more hacks for this system from you in the future. I do have two requests you may be able to fill if you get some time (more open world games yay!, only this time not for the N64):

@Abystus: Sometimes with 3D games it takes more than just changing a few branches to make a Hit Anywhere code.

This theory applies to almost any type of ASM code because no two games are identical, and sometimes complications do arise. I've had to write custom routines to get certain things to work, but in the end it was worth it in my opinion (and definitely for some of the ones you've written for the N64). Let me know If I'm being too forward about requests (they can become tedious and repetitive), and I'll slack off. Just figured I'd throw it your way since you've already had some experience with the system (along with countless others).

I have been thinking of trying to do this types of hacks with RAM codes. The only game that I didn't have to write a custom routine was with Ocarina of Time. The rest shared the same routine so I had to check who was attacking and then return to a different address.

It doesn't seem like it would be entirely possible with RAM alone due to some of the conditions that need to be met in certain areas of the game and not all the time. Modifying ROM usually only modifies the specific routine you change, but modifying ram would alter the value read by the ROM throughout the game which may cause issues in other places in the game. I'm sure in some circumstances it would work, but I think most codes derived of this method would be quite long, and would most likely consume a lot more testing time to produce a working code that doesn't break everything else. I would assume both Ram and Rom used together would be a better alternative (if your looking to break away from straight ROM hacks), depending on what your trying to accomplish as the end result.

It is possible to do such a thing. Sometime ago I accomplish a Hit Anywhere with RAM codes for one of the GBA's Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon. That code only took 2 lines. It may not work for every game but it might work for the problematic ones. I'm still doing ASM hacks because you can get more incredible codes that way. Besides I just like too see what the game is doing too.

Hey would you mind giving Bionic Commando NES a try for "Hit Anywhere"? Tried a few times now, and have only found codes for certain enemies, while others require all new codes (giving me fits). Seems that the hit routine in this one doesn't seem to like me. Enemy health is located in the 078x section of memory. I think this one may turn out to be a massive code involving at least 4 lines per "type" of enemy, and additional codes depending on their state (ducking, standing, etc). Any help on this one is appreciated.

Did you have any problems at all making this code? I haven't gotten a chance to test it out just yet (at work), but I will give it a try when I get home. Thanks for taking the time to look into it.

No problem at all. It was near the breakpoint so I didn't need to go on a long search for it.
