Hey everyone!
My name is GFC. I'm a speedrunner (attempt to complete games as fast as possible) of the PSX game Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories.
For years now we have been doing our best to try to find out how card drops work in this game. Basically, at the end of every duel, you win a card.
We were able to find out what cards drop where, and their percent chance of it, and we made some other small discoveries, but to this day how exactly the cards are selected are beyond us.
We teamed up with people on Neoseeker trying to finally crack the game apart in this sense to no avail. Some of us (like me) have little to no knowledge of game hacking. Others in the community know quite a bit about it and have researched many things far too technical for me to understand without being able to find everything.
In an old thread on this topic here (back in July), it was basically said to just locate the card you won's address, and then trace it back and eventually we should end up at some type of table that describes what factors into how it got there. We had our most knowledgeable members of the community try this, but they were not successful. They said either the trace ends, or it gets so mixed up with variables that it's nearly impossible to follow along.
I myself do not understand much of this, but I do know that we need help in this regard. There are well over 200 people very interested in figuring this out, but it's surprising how much trouble even the smartest among us are having.
I am posting here asking for help on the entire communities behalf on this subject. It may seem extremely simple to other, more experienced users here than it is to us. I also understand it is probably not in the interest of any of you to help in this regard, but even some simple guidance that I can pass off to those who know better than me in the community would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
