  • Can't seem to find an all cd's par code in rockman & forte (SNES)

    Hi. I've been trying to find an all cd's code for rockman & forte for SNES, but I could't find any. I've searched by these methods:
    • Searching for a byte that has changed after I get a CD (too many results)
    • Searching for a byte that has change from 0 o 1 (didn't work)
    • Searching for a specific byte value based on how I suppose the CD data is stored (I supposed that the cd's are organized in groups of eight bits, that is, 1 byte to represent the existence of 8 cds being the least significant bit the first cd in the group. i.e; 0x81 would mean that the first and last cd in the group is present). Didn't work either .


    I've another idea that cd's may be stores with additional information such as if the description has been read or not. In that case the format may be WwZzYyXx, where x could a bit that is on if the cd is present in that byte (first cd on the group/byte) and X is set if the cd has been read. The pattern could be the same for the other bits (y is the cd 2 presence bit and Y is the "description already read" bit for that cd).

    That pattern could have bits in another order (even bits may represent the "already read bits" and odd bits could have info if the cd is present). There could be a chance that the pattern is also inverted (that is 0 is true and 1 false).

    I've run out of ideas of how to search for this cheat.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    I've found some values that are saved in the sram. I've messed with the save file (srm file in SNES9x) by changing values from address 0x40 to 0x4b and 0x50 to 0x5b but when I go to the CD database in the game, all the CD's are gone! (I made a backup just in case).

    Could be that the game calculates some sort of CRC or check code so the data doesn't get corrupted?

    I'm closer now, but still don't get the code. I know ugetab found this code but I couldn't find it in the forums (just a reference in this thread). It doesn't appear in the codes posted in the main page either (maybe because it's a SRAM code).

      Sorry for posting this stuff!. The code was already posted here. I forgot to search the main page for "megaman 9" since now megaman 9 refers to the Wii game and I didn't associate the name.

      Thanks anyway :P
