13:04 <ConfusionRift> Oh. Sorry. I knew I forgot something. [Deplying promotional codes...]
13:04 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.
13:05 <Schism> Hi! Bye! Lea! ...or something.
13:06 <ConfusionRift> I should get back to that at some point. New Game+ is starting to look really good.
13:09 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/shiroyuki111/status/1202178298467348487?s=19 The text reads "What was that just now?!"
13:12 <ConfusionRift> "I got ya! Now you're-" | (runs, Green Hill Zone plays as they pass by) | "...the heck was that?"
13:15 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:18 <ConfusionRift> And now Game Grumps has this weird NES knockoff that.. the hell is that?
13:19 <ConfusionRift> Why would an NES have a male parallel port?
13:22 <Cepheid> Good question.
13:30 <ConfusionRift> If all of this is true, which seems to be sorta, they got a Russian prototype of a game that was supposed to be an online multiplayer game. Yes, a 30 year old online game. The parallel port is for a strange adapter that would use power and an ethernet cable to connect online.
13:32 <Cepheid> Doesn't surprise me. People like to try and use bleeding edge tech all the time.
13:35 <ConfusionRift> If this thing is for real, these couple of months have led to some interesting gaming finds.
13:38 <Cepheid> Oh, by the way...
13:39 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1201935918959091713?s=19 The game doesn't appear to checksum its data.
13:40 <ConfusionRift> ...excuse me?
13:40 <Cepheid> I modified the game and ran it through an emulator to see what happens.
13:40 <Cepheid> I replaced a bunch of text with spaces, and played with control codes for coloring the text.
13:40 <ConfusionRift> And it just ran without a hitch, huh?
13:41 <Cepheid> Yeah.
13:42 <ConfusionRift> That is strange, considering most games do have a form of checksum, which sometimes make things a pain.
13:43 <ConfusionRift> Still, this is pretty cool.
13:43 <Cepheid> The save data is the only thing that seems to be checksummed and for good reason. It also contains a duplicate of the same data.
13:43 <Cepheid> I also took a look at the 3DS games a short bit.
13:44 <Cepheid> They use a two-file system instead. Large archive, and an offset-size-filename table.
13:48 <Cepheid> Still haven't found those missing files.
13:48 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
13:50 <ConfusionRift> Yep. One with the stored assets, and the other as a reference to call them. Right?
13:50 <Cepheid> Giant archive and a reference, yeah.
13:51 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I am slowly figuring out the code to the game itself. Been researching the specs of the DS and the ARM instruction set.
13:52 <ConfusionRift> You know, I was gonna ask you... is this like a form of research, or do you plan to use this as a platform for the game you were working on? Kinda curious.
13:53 <Cepheid> It would help if I had a better disassembler, and a symbol table to work with.
13:53 <Cepheid> Research and boredom.
13:54 <Cepheid> Also as a way to show off my analysis and programming skills. I intend to create an editor that can modify the DS ROM directly.
13:54 <ConfusionRift> Eeeeeexcuse me, Linus?!
13:54 <Cepheid> Hmm?
13:54 <ConfusionRift> https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/1201965142184878081
13:55 <Cepheid> That's not new.
13:55 <ConfusionRift> Had no idea there were 128GB sticks out already.
13:55 <Cepheid> 128GB dims have been around for a while now. Just limited to high-tech companies due to the cost involved.
13:56 <Cepheid> Last I checked them out, they were $4000+ CAD.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> And this guy has several. Then again, he has a large NAS of nothing but SSDs.
13:56 <Cepheid> Guy also makes a lot of money off of his show and such.
13:57 * ConfusionRift nods.
13:57 <Cepheid> Also, that price was earlier this year. Increase the yield, get better numbers of successful runs and you can lower the price.
13:58 <Cepheid> That said, I wonder how they deal with the bit flip problem.
14:00 <Cepheid> Before you ask. It's a problem with increasing density of memory chips. Between electrical leakage and cosmic radiation, as chip density goes up, the likelihood of a random bit flip in one of the memory cells increases.
14:00 <Cepheid> And it is starting to become a problem.
14:01 <Cepheid> Atlus, I am upset about one detail regarding EO Nexus.
14:02 <Cepheid> According to it's OST, the Abyssal Shrine from EO3 makes an appearance. But they changed the music drastically.
14:05 <Cepheid> Hum. 11890 exp per. There are... 9 on floor B15. 2 on 16. And 7 on floor 13. 18 total.
14:05 <Cepheid> ... Geezus.
14:06 <Cepheid> There is 214020 EXP worth of easy FOEs in the Abyssal Shrine.
14:06 <Cepheid> And by easy, I mean "The mage is soloing them. Even with taking damage."
14:09 <Cepheid> For comparison, that is a Dragon's worth of EXP. And at a much easier challenge rating. If you need one character high level ASAP, these are the easiest and best ways to go about it.
14:10 <Cepheid> There is admittedly a faster method, but that comes with some risk of save corruption.
14:18 <Cepheid> By the way...
14:18 <Cepheid> While I can't find some of the debug files..
14:18 <Cepheid> There *ARE* two debug files that still exist.
14:18 <ConfusionRift> Oh... huh. Okay, so, that NES thing I mentioned? Maybe I should leave it as HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE. I knew something smelled weird.
14:19 <Cepheid> One is a list of some 32 guild setups, 12 members each, with complete stats and names. None of it was translated, as far as I can tell, as all the names remain in Japanese.
14:19 <Cepheid> The other file, meanwhile, is a help file that describes each of the guild setups. It is, inexplicably, translated.
14:19 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
14:20 <Cepheid> They likely just extracted all the MSG2 files(These are the files with text) and translated them, without consideration to their purpose.
14:21 <ConfusionRift> I guess it could help with localization?
14:21 <Cepheid> All the text, meanwhile, being encoded in, annoyingly, Shift-JIS.
14:22 <Cepheid> I mean, for the initial intended audience, it's not necessarily a *BAD* thing.
14:22 <Cepheid> But it's a pain in the ass to decode. It has a lot of problems that don't exist in other multibyte formats, like Unicode.
14:24 <Cepheid> It's a way of encoding JIS X 0208, effectively the Japanese equivalent of ASCII, into a two-byte format.
14:24 <Cepheid> The problem is, it uses some *WEIRD* math.
14:24 <ConfusionRift> Well, they weren't considering anyone decoding them again.
14:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's true.
14:24 <Cepheid> But it's not an Atlus-proprietary format.
14:24 <Cepheid> ... With exception to the control codes.
14:25 <Cepheid> There's pairs of bytes that start with 80, this is outside of Shift-JIS.
14:26 <Cepheid> These pairs are control codes. End-of-line, end-of-paragraph(That is, show the next "window" of text), input X character's name here, set text color, etc, etc, etc.
14:27 <Cepheid> These are generally easy to find, though.
14:27 <Cepheid> I only need at minimum, 2 Shift-JIS tables.
14:27 <Cepheid> For English, anyways. Any Japanese text will need more.
14:28 <Cepheid> Point is, anything that falls outside of the valid Shift-JIS range is probably a control code.
14:28 <Cepheid> The reason my earlier screenshot is at sea, is because the first file I decoded was one of the sea quest text files.
14:28 <Cepheid> And since I knew where it was in the ROM, and how it was laid out, I used it for a quick test.
14:30 <Cepheid> I did the math, calculated the Shift-JIS codes for a space, put a bunch in, then, as an added test, I pushed in the apparent control code for the text color, with a known color sequence in two spots. Then I loaded up an emulator, and ran the ROM to see if it complained about the changes.
14:30 <Cepheid> Lo and behold, it didn't, and the game loaded just fine. Though, being emulation, I can't tell if the BIOS will reject the ROM or not.
14:30 <Cepheid> But the game certainly didn't reject the changes.
14:31 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, attempts to change the save file have caused the game to spasm.
14:31 <Cepheid> If I modify one of the copies, the game loads the unmodified copy.
14:31 <Cepheid> If I modify both copies, the game just deletes the save files altogether.
14:32 <ConfusionRift> Problem about emulation is that the software will likely do what it can to run the game, even if it can't run on hardware due to a checksum issue or the such.
14:32 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-nv8.19p.147.189.IP)
14:32 <Cepheid> Funny you should say that.
14:32 <Cepheid> I was using a specialized, debug version of an emulator. It's designed for people writing their own DS apps.
14:32 <Cepheid> Or GBA apps.
14:33 <Cepheid> The software tries to emulate the system as closely as possible, as a result. Default settings have it performing checksums and the like, presumably as the OS/BIOS would, on load, and do something special if something was wrong.
14:35 <Cepheid> Put more simply, if the DS does a checksum on the ROM, and refuses to load ROMs that are damaged, then this emulator is malfunctioning.
14:37 <Cepheid> Okay this is terrifying.
14:38 <Cepheid> I have Ali, the resident Zodiac(Mage, squishy), walking around down in the Abyssal Shrine solo, killing the 18 or so FOEs for 214000+ EXP..
14:38 <Cepheid> She's alone, in the front line, and is squishy. Keep this in mind.
14:38 <Cepheid> ... She's taking so little damage from the monsters, she could, in theory, just wander around down here and kill things.
14:39 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.
14:39 <Cepheid> She has defense on par with most of the front-line of the regular party. I mean, yeah, she's level 84, equipped with the best armor she can use, but...
14:39 <Cepheid> Also, she's been fed something like 16 vitality books.
14:39 <Cepheid> She has vitality rivaling that of Confusion. Another round or two of books and she'll fare better than him.
14:40 <Cepheid> Alas, I'm not sure what to do with her last 18 skill points as she gains them. I was gonna go for Double Action, but unless I retire her at level 99, or scrap the magical spells that protect the party against the elemental dragons, she won't be able to get that skill. I'm thinking for the time being, she should probably spend them on HP Up.
14:41 <Cepheid> Make her more fitting for the front row in general, so she can survive if something happens to the front row.
14:41 <Cepheid> That, and for dealing with the tentacle exploit.
14:42 <Cepheid> That's an exploit where I go to kill a tentacle, and fight a constant, unending stream of spawning Vampire Tree FOEs.
14:42 <Cepheid> Those FOEs are worth 18,000 EXP a piece, and they spawn endlessly around the tentacle spawn points.
14:43 <Cepheid> They are also comparatively easier than most FOEs down in the depths.
14:44 <Cepheid> Which makes them a superior grinding target, once I can reliably kill them in one to two turns, or at least seal one of their skills.
14:46 <Cepheid> At the going rate, Ali's gonna be the first to hit level 99.
14:46 <Cepheid> Schism's next in line after that.
14:48 <ConfusionRift> Man, I know I'm off but it's late and feeling real tiiired. Going to sleepy sleeps. See ya laters!

16:06 <Cepheid> You know.
16:06 <Cepheid> I thought this editing was, outside of showing my programming and analysis skills, to be a waste of time.
16:06 <Cepheid> But, if the subreddit is anything to go by, it suggests that people still play the third game a lot.
16:16 <Cepheid> Bah, Ali's gotten too fast.
16:16 <Cepheid> She's killing the Poison Lizards before a formaldehyde can be used. Time to resolve this with SPD boosting gear.
16:19 <Cepheid> Much better.
16:22 <Cepheid> First thing I'm doing when I manage to understand the save file format? I'm creating a roster editor, so I can re-arrange my characters in the roster.
16:23 <Cepheid> Well, understanding it's easy. It's the checksum that's the problem. However, I can get around that by tweaking little details here and there.
16:29 <Cepheid> Note to self: Ask Ali about how her name is meant to be pronounced. I assume it rhymes with "Alley."

16:44 <Cepheid> Right then, work time.
16:44 <Cepheid> So, I now know that the EEPROM/save RAM is accessed via SPI, and there are sets of instructions and such for writing and reading from it.
16:45 <Cepheid> All I need to do is have the game load up, get to the main title, then do a search through a disassembly for the SPI read/write calls, and voila, access to knowledge of how the save data is read and written.

23:22 <LibrarianofHope> sunset was assasinated?
23:22 <LibrarianofHope> can i be mod now?
23:23 * LibrarianofHope offers starligh as sacrifice to ascend
23:28 <Starlight_Glimmer> In case she does turn up and doesn't have a knife in her back: I suggest a bit of caution. Her nickname expired. Not sure if it was grouped to an account I'm not aware of the top of my head, but it's an invite for imposters. We don't want to betrayed by that ~pony~ human a 2nd time.
23:28 <LibrarianofHope> easy solution, everyone that comes in here with bacon hair gets a free knife in the back!
23:29 <LibrarianofHope> fixes it bith ways
