Need [Help] with my idea please

ResTowSeR · 2012-12-23 12:06:44

Hello, to every one I'am new to this forum .

Friends I impressed to make a topic to express
my idea.
I want to know if have you ever knows how to increase the pokemon limit?
If have not yet I'am impressed to
add some .
1. I want to determine the offset and pointers of pokemon names.
2. Offset and pointer of Pokemon pictures.
3. Pokemon stats. Evolution exp, etc ... offsets and pointer.
4. how to transfer offset data to another offset data example :15000-16000 I want it move to fffff-fffff.
if this question solve my
idea totally solve too

It's always a good idea no to specify which game you're talking about.

I think this not an Idea?? :P

I know all the of the answer your question. But only no.4 will I answer. coz I spent my time on finding those table,pointer and pointer to pointer.
my answer:

If you are telling how to repoint you must find the beginning of the code write this simple asm for repointing;

3e zz 21 xx yy cf c9
zz-Bank
xxyy-2byte pointer

Those are asm instructions wrotten in hexadecimal byte form:
3E xx - ld a, bank
21 yy zz - d hl, pointer
CF - rst 8

In G/S, you can do a bankswitch with those operations through an asm routine.

comet · 2013-01-04 07:50:47

the corresponding asm would look like

ld a, zz
ld hl, yyxx
rst 8
ret

rst 8 is a macro that can be used for anything. in gold, it's used to call address zz:yyxx.

i'm not sure what the purpose of using this would be or why it was posted.

ohh mr.miksy i know u i am ur youtube wacther didyou created a bankswitching tutorial to make it understand clearly??

Miksy91 · 2013-01-04 12:43:29

You have no use for this kind of operation as its own really...
The fact that you can switch rom banks doesn't do you any good, it's impossible to just magically repoint a pointer table in another rom bank by switching a couple of bytes.

uhm,how did you learn asm?or did you learned it by means of tutorials?are you taking any programming course?you can go to the thread of sir amvz08 on general dicussions,we can freely talk tagalog there,

By tutorials, I started reading about GB assembly from a site called ASMSchool. After I had realized how the simple stuff worked, I simply tried to locate some in-game routines to see how they worked and eventually learned pretty much everything there is to learn about the instructions. There is still a long way to go though.

I haven't done any programming courses expect for one when I was in high school (but at that time I hardly knew anything about hex editing either).

emaj30 · 2013-01-04 14:21:08

@miksy
hmmm,sounds interesting,maybe i should try it too,coz hacking just by rearranging everything inside the rom makes a little sense since the original game is enough to experience what pokemon is,but changing it by means of asm and hex is another story,but do you have an idea why there's is no tool for directly making an asm inside the rom,i mean like the other tools specifically made for,example,sprite inserting or scripting,or i might have been mistaken?

I haven't used them but I think there are compilers around there that allow you to insert files containing "asm text" into the roms. I'll rather just write the code into the rom straight with an assembly editor.

emaj30 · 2013-01-04 14:56:01

0w i see,do i really need to mess with the codes aside from doing what is instructed?

Miksy91 · 2013-01-04 15:01:38

If you want to be able to do something about the original coding or for example load your own asm routine through a script (with 0E - callasm command), yes. It's not that difficult, if you want to learn to do so you can eventually make it.

Code isn't compressed (like graphics) or obtuse (like script macros). An instruction is one byte followed by any parameters it could have.

Of course reading assembly in a hex editor is just plain wrong. There is a Crystal disassembly on GitHub that compiles assembly written in plaintext into a new rom. It's not complete yet, but since it's a disassembly of the whole rom you can do anything with it that you could with an assembled rom (and much more). It's basically a recreation of the source code.

emaj30 · 2013-01-04 15:10:24

thanks for entertaining my concern,maybe someday i might outshine your hacks i used to play back then,haha!and one of my plan is to make a routine of a pokemon tailing your back as you walk,or in simple words i want to remade yellow out of gold's engine,hehe,

i want to point out that this is the best post on the forum. everyone should read it and then read it again.

hey red what do you mean?
3e - | how about otherss....
zz - bank | so did you mean??? 3e is a asm then zz is a part of asm
21 - | what is 21??
xx - 2byte | and cf,c9 what is this all of asm have this hex?? or not
yy - pointer |
cf - |
c9 - |

My mistakes. My post are incomplete :)
you should find the beginning of the code then copy all the code .and after that you will input the code through hex
If you don't know how to caltculate pointer, there is a tool call "POINTER BERENCHER"(zz,xx,yy)
3e-tells the bank
zz-(first byte of the pointer)
21-load hl ,
xxyy-last to bytes of pointer
followed by
cf c9- end of code or rest!

haha!i'm shy bout you've said,maybe you just instead say its good?not making myself humble but im just curious,maybe asm would be more fun with specific tool/s that can be used,there can be a way of making some,and im not that one coz i dont know even a scratch from programming,
