Love deep dive videos like this.

"I built a custom open-world engine for the N64. In this video, I break down how I achieved a seamless, massive world with zero loading screens on N64 hardware."

How I found the Game Genie codes using FCEUX:
1) By looking at the CHR ROM, I knew I wanted to use tile 0xd2 instead of 0x0a and 0xd7 instead of 0x0e.
2) I looked at RAM in Hex Editor. A copy of sprite data was at 0x0700-0x07ff. The cursor was in the 2nd sprite slot, so the tile was at 0x0705.
3) I set a breakpoint on 0x0705 write in Debugger. It found STA $0701,X. The previous instruction was LDA ($00),Y. Whenever that was run, RAM 0x00 contained 0x98 or 0x9d, RAM 0x01 contained 0xd8 and Y was 1, so a byte was being copied to A from RAM 0xd899 or 0xd89e.
4) Indeed, during gameplay, CPU address 0xd899 contained 0x0a and 0xd89e contained 0x0e.
5) I used https://www.nesdev.org/nesgg.txt to create the codes:
- XSOSOEZA = "if the CPU tries to read a PRG ROM address that's currently mapped to CPU 0xd899 and contains 0x0a, return 0xd2 instead".
- NSOSVETA = same but 0xd89e, 0x0e and 0xd7, respectively.

In the NES game Yoshi's Cookie, you may be bothered by the cursor obscuring the cookies (top row in the screenshots). However, you can replace the cursor in one of two ways:
1) Edit the iNES ROM with a hex editor to replace the cursor tiles with a blinking square in CHR ROM (middle row in the screenshots):
- 0xff818181818181ff0000000000000000 to 0x200b0-0x200bf
- 0x0000000000000000ff818181818181ff to 0x200f0-0x200ff
2) Or, use these Game Genie codes to replace the cursor sprites with sprites that look like hands (bottom row in the screenshots): XSOSOEZA + NSOSVETA

👋 Hello, Mastodon! recently I had to update my website and decided to create a Mastodon account to share my thoughts to the world.

The idea of a decentralized, federated social network looks comfortable to me.

for now I have plans to just write something about my projects, sometimes #rustlang, UI/UX #design, and maybe #gamehacking

New blog post :)

@BigJackBrass @mhd There seem to be a lot of systems these days, Fate as already mentioned, but also Index Card RPG, Knave, Savage World's and others that market themselves as tool kits to be built on, modded, and have bits taken from, so I would say hacking game mechanics is more of a thing now than ever.
Even more so with so many people making their own indie RPGs now.

Storytime, I took an interest in reverse engineering through playing video games. Researching about them, and archiving data. Right now my goal is to find as many modern resources on the subject as I can, then curate all of that information into a book or maybe even a tutorial series.

There's a long road ahead, but I'm at least halfway there. If you're a beginner like me or you've an interest in game hacking or binary analysis you're welcome to join me.

Some of my favorite games are #celeste #sekiro and #ApeEscape

I'm writing my own sci-fi novel as I delve into the windows API, if you want beta readers for your book, I might read it, haha. #introduction
