Secret of Mana

[Lazy Bastard]

Heh, ah.

[Flying Omelette]

It's rumored (and translator Ted Woolsey confirmed it in an interview) that the game was originally intended to be on the CD add-on that Nintendo was developing with Sony, but when the project was canned, Secret of Mana was released in the cartridge format instead and some content had to be cut.

I wonder what the uncut version would be like. Probably kicks @$$.

[Lazy Bastard]

Ah, the original "PSX". I oft wonder how much Nintendo is kicking themselves for turning that down...

This is my favorite game of all time,so all this talk about secrets has got me itching to see if there is a secret menu or room in this game,of course hacking it or course.When and if I find anything I'll post it here.

[Lazy Bastard]

It's definitely up there in my top five favs. I did some very brief work on a room/area mod, but I don't think I got anywhere...happy hacking, man. Maybe I'll get unlazy, and we'll team-hack this beast...

[Helder]

sounds good chief,did you save the addresses for the codes you hacked?

[Lazy Bastard]

That's what I'm going to check on when I get home. If I did, I'll give them to you. I have a lot of things to take care of tonight, so I doubt 'll get to any SNES hacking.

[MIR]

Do they involve a *CoughNikCough* ;3
.

[Helder]

Better take some Robituisin there,cuz I dont know wtf your talking bout.

[Lazy Bastard]

Heh, actually, I had some research to do.

Eh, I don't have any of the interesting addresses I found. Still, I keep thinking about hacking it myself. SoM is so damn classic...

[Helder]

Maybe I'll give it a shot,this weekend if I have time.

Well I made the room mod code,i didnt go thru all digits but a few and I got mixed feelings,seems the A? digits are the last of actual working game rooms,so if anyone is interested take a look thru the digits and it seems to work best when you load a save,also made a wierd code that lets you choose how many enemies and towns people are in the next room you enter,so put it to zero and no one anywhere not even items!

Room Mod
7E00DC:??

Enemy/NPC Quantity Mod
7E00BC:??

with this code in some inns and other places there are new characters walking around and sometimes there are merchants and it seems to be merchants that were cut from the game,I just talk to one in the inn in the 3rd town in the game that offered me armor from mantego town I used 09 as digits but experiment to see what happens.

[Lazy Bastard]

Awesome; nice work, man. They're up.
