Hi,
I've been messing around with the PS2DIS program & while I've found some neat & interesting things about my PS2 games, I'm still having some trouble finding certain codes for various games. I've been reading the link in the library section on basic use of of PS2DIS. While it lists a few examples of what to look for in certain games, it doesn't go much further into detail about other things such as the assembly language on the discs. In certain places, I'll see things like ADDIU, JAL, or SW. Not sure that those mean.
While I was looking through the labels on the NTSC version of Fight Night Round 3, I found some boxer names that aren't normally selectable.
They don't list the first names on all entries, but they list mostly recognizable last names such as
"FOREMAN" ---> George Foreman
"HAMED" ---> Naseem Hamed
"HEARNS" ---> Thomas Hearns
"KLITCHKO" ---> either Vitali or Wladimir Klitchko
"MAYWEATHER" ---> Floyd Mayweather
"MOSELY" ---> Shane Mosely
"TYSON" ---> Mike Tyson
"TZSYU" ---> Kostya Tzsyu
The interesting thing is these Foreman, Hearns, both of the Klitchko brothers, Tyson, & Mosely went on to appear in Fight Night Round 4 & Fight Night: Champion. Hamed, Mayweather, & Tzsyu didn't appear in either of the future games that came out.
I know its a long shot, but anyone have any ideas?
I'll give an example:
When I invoke the analyzer & go to the jump to labeled section, I'll find two sections that say "FOREMAN".
The first one takes me to the address: 006C3008 ------46
off to the right, it has: .byte (which I know this means that the address starts with "0")
Further to the right: $46 (70 'F')
When I hit Space Bar & F3, then it takes me to: 006C304C 006C3008
off to the right of that it has: .word (which I know it means that the address is supposed to start with a "2")
Further to the right, the display shows: $006C3008 ("FOREMAN")
Also there are series of addresses that are highlighted in black. The series of addresses in black start at 006C3008 & proceed in bytes to address 006C300F. The from address 006C3010 to address 006C3050, its in words (skipping by 4's instead of by 1's or 2's)
I also noticed that they have a series of labels relatively close to that where it has boxer punch styles (basic, lethal uppercuts, slugger, judge jab, etc.). Maybe George Foreman was going to be in the game & have have a boxer style.
Is there any help or advice anybody could give me on this?
Thanks in advance.
