Did that work out? I don't really see what's missing there, myself. Seems like the right number of bytes (48).
Quote:Something isn't reading right w/ the *newest* version of DOAEditor. If I open my ROM as is, it doesn't recognize the portrait banks and has them all marked as 0.Yeah, this is one of the long-term support problems I was hoping to avoid. Older DOAEditors assume a ROM's expanded if it's the previous expanded size, while this one only allows access to expanded features if it's "fully" expanded (1 MB).
Quote:Just out of curiosity, I'm guessing it doesnt matter if I click 'no' to setting up new portrait and sprite banks b/c they're on the same page… right?It shouldn't matter, and if it does I'd really like to know.
The portrait and sprite bank setup code hasn't changed since the beginning. I only made those optional since certain crazy people might want to expand a ROM and use all that space for their own nefarious purposes.
I didn't modify anything with expansion in this release… if you're still running into that issue, I'm not sure how we can troubleshoot it :|
Hey guys,
I did a pretty major refactor to support the new text bank and I want to make sure that it still works well with your ROMs.
There is no new support in this release – it should function identically to the last – but it's important that this get tested independent of the new text bank so that I can verify everything works before I add it…
I'd like you to open and save, then make sure the text is still correct afterward. If you have a way to diff files, that'd be ideal. Naturally I've tested it myself, but I can't guarantee it'll work 100% of the time.
The faster I hear back on an "OK" the faster I can add the new bank :)
Not impossible to do by any means. I've been sick lately so I haven't had the motivation to work on DoaEditor or my newest side project. Hopefully I can get the chance to look at 0a and 0b this weekend.
Wow. I also had a Commodore 64 (and IIRC it's still functioning, haven't tried for several years), but I only ever played:
Pit Stop 2
The Movie Monster Game
Miner 2049'er
Jumpman
Friday the 13th
It seems that my experiences with it were considerably more limited than they should've been — none of these strategy games!
Quote:Niahak is DoaEditor doing this yet on expansion? The duel code is now pointing to the new text banks.Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. Is the first post here updated since last night?
Quote:In other words… user error!Sorry, that's not really what I meant. There's no real way for the user to do anything wrong here – most likely case is A) I copy/pasted a code or address wrong, or B) MK is making some assumptions that aren't true in the case of your ROM.
DOAEditor follows the recipe in the first post of this topic exactly, AFAIK. See the code copy/pasted above.
Quote:Optional 100% success for each tactic which could be turned off/on by modders
How about a tactic that makes any tactics used in the next X (say rand 2-4) rounds automatically succeed? Obviously no An Sha nonsense, but it seems like it could be useful.
That's odd… it worked fine for Rise of Ieyasu.
Did you close and reopen DoaEditor after saving off the more-expanded ROM?
Hey guys,
I've got a quick beta for you all to test expansion on.

I tried it out on Rise of Ieyasu, and as long as you
1) Open the ROM
2) Expand the ROM via the menu
3) Export the ROM
before re-opening in DoaEditor, it will expand your rom from "normal" to "uber" expansion fine, as far as I can tell.
DoaEditor does not support editing the new text blocks or anything so far, though.
Hey MiDKnighT,
I've followed your directions (unless I made a typo somewhere in here) and I tried to expand a stock DOAE ROM, but it doesn't seem to work in FCEUDX. Can you take a look?

Here's the raw code I'm using in expansion. I've tried it with and without the earlier tweaks (additional portraits + sprites). I think it should be pretty readable – InjectIntoLocation is a shortcut that converts a hex string to bytes, then puts them into the location given.
entireRom is the original ROM, expandedRom is the new one of total size 0x100010 (same as the file you sent me).
Code:Array.Copy(entireRom, 0, expandedRom, 0, entireRom.Length);Array.Copy(entireRom, 0x3c010, expandedRom, 0x7c010, 0x4000);

InjectIntoLocation(duelCodePart3, expandedRom, 0x4B10);Thanks!
