Star Yoshi Posts: 1,603 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: Jul 7 2009 Clan (coming soon?) Yoshi's Island	Hello! As the title says, this topic has been created for researching all of the functions of the game (my main reasons for making a whole topic are this do not only include having fewer topics, but also to eventually find decompression/compression functions/algorithms, and to find the main functions/scripts for when Mario and Luigi flee from battle). From what I know so far, we have... Edit by charleysdrpepper: Anything with equal signs was added by me. Coloring can be a pain sometimes. I've added a few things that should help as a guide for where to do Enemy/Battle Function Research. Spoiler: click to toggle 0807CD19 - Enemy HP loss - This function allows enemies to have their HP reduced. With this replaced with 00s, damaging an enemy in pretty much any way causes the game to restart. However, enemies can be healed with no problems occurring. I think this actually has something to do with being able to subtract from the enemy's current HP, almost like a formula. 0807CD9D - HP loss (part two) - From what I understand, this allows anything to lose HP in battle. Removing this causes the game to crash if anyone is damaged, even Mario and Luigi (healing is possible though). I think this is something similar to helping the game figure out what to do next. This is so because I can still damage Luigi with Mini-Mario if I want more coins when not in battle, or I can use items on them in battle to heal them (from previous battles before removing this function). 0807CEC5 - Bro. HP loss - This function allows for either Mario or Luigi to lose HP in battle (they can still be inflicted with a status ailment like being stunned at the beginning). By treating Luigi like a coin block (Mini-Mario jumping as Luigi tries to use High Jump), I can still inflict damage out of battle. I can still heal, and this formula has nothing to do with BP. This could be a formula for figuring out how much HP to remove from either Mario or Luigi. 0807CF49 - State of Status - This function seems to allow the game to figure out what to do after (or maybe when) either Mario or Luigi have their HP or BP altered in any way in battle. They can not have either HP or BP damaged or healed without making the game freeze. I can still use items outside of battle, and I can still damage Luigi outside of battle as well. 0807D0CD - Initiating Battle - This function probably has something to do with starting battle. After the yellow battle star expands (and just when the battle stage should appear), the game restarts if this whole function is replaced with 00s. I think this function should tell game what to do after initiating battle. Replacing it with 00s during battle also makes the game restart. 0807D381 - How to battle - Similar effect to the previous script, except the game crashes instead of restarts. 0807D531 - Our Turn - It seems that this function might allow the spinning blocks to come up in battle, not necessarily being able to bring them back, but just making them pop into existence. Without this function, the game crashes, possibly without knowing what to do. 0807F53D - ??? - No idea. Removing it seems to do nothing. 0807F5B9 - Enemy Combat 1 - This little function seems to allow enemies to attack either Mario or Luigi. Removing it allows them to move from their spot, but the screen becomes completely black when the enemy begins its attack. 0807F649 - Enemy Combat 2 - This small function tells the game what to do after an enemy has attacked (which is usually to go back to where it was standing before initiating the attack). Removing it makes the game freeze right at the end of the attack. 0807F681 - Battle interfaces - Not much seems to happen with this. Removing it makes some battle interfaces buggy, and the background of the rewards screen is not shaded. This function mostly seems to affect the darkening of the background at the reward and level up screens, but without it causes some very minor bugs at other points in battle. 0807F7A5 - Rotating Block Cycle 1 - It seems that this also has something to do with getting the game to make them work. Changing the bytes back to what they were will uncrash the game. Other than that, I am not sure about these. ARM - 0807F7B9 - Battle Regulator? - Not sure about this one, but removing some parts of it cause only fre graphical problems, removing other parts prevent damage from being dealt without making the game freeze. 0807F835 - Healing - Nothing in battle can have any stat healed (HP for anything or BP for Mario and Luigi). 0807F869 - ??? - No idea. Removing it seems to do nothing. 0807F8C5 - Battle Menu - This seems to contain a wide amount of data, one such notable bit is being able to choose who to use items/attacks on, and other parts seem to include the spinning blocks. Another notable effect is that the ability to Run seems to be here too. 080886BD - Rotating Block Cycle 2 - I think this is more or less for making it back to the spinning blocks of one of the bros. after something is done, since the Back and Run blocks do not do cause this problem (Run ends the battle, and the block circle is not technically removed until after an attack is finished or an item is about to be used). To be continued... Since charleysdrpepper has been so kind as to add some of the pointers used by the functions, I will try to do some research in the functions to find more. However, as my main point of research is for functions as a whole, I will separate the pointer locations. Pointers (which can be found within functions, and where they are): Spoiler: click to toggle 0807B514 = Pointer to Enemy Database(Enemy Stat Functions should be in this area) 0807B61C = Pointer to Enemy Database 0807C00A = Places text on the Command Blocks 08081DD0 = Pointer to Enemy Database 080F5D38 = Pointer to Enemy Database. 080F5F28 = Pointer to Enemy Database. 080101870 = Pointer to Enemy Database. The nice thing about these pointers is that they will be able to help find exactly what some of these functions are. I have also included them in a spoiler tag because there are many functions (all of which will be recorded here), so it might be best if the main functions do not overwhelm the pointers. Have a nice day. Edit: If a function is bolded, this means that I am unable to figure out exactly what it does, at least right now. Edited by Salanewt, May 31 2010, 10:13:30 PM.

Who are you calling an old man? Posts: 1,687 Group: Administrator Member #2 Joined: Jul 7 2009	Oh thanks. I edited your post for a general outline... (showing where the Enemy Database Pointers are) to help out with where to do function research. This topic might end up being renamed to Enemy/Battle Function research with this progress.... Since there seems to be tons of functions in the ROM.
	If you ever find an error in any of my reference materials, PLEASE let me know.

Star Yoshi Posts: 1,603 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: Jul 7 2009 Clan (coming soon?) Yoshi's Island	Okay, thank you very much. However, as this topic primarily has to do with the functions themselves instead of their contents, I am going to separate these pointers in the post (they will still be there as they are parts of functions, but are not themselves the whole functions). Have a nice day.

Who are you calling an old man? Posts: 1,687 Group: Administrator Member #2 Joined: Jul 7 2009	Okay, maybe, anyway, just so everyone knows... Those pointers are called through the ASM method within the function directly above it, since those are usually found directly after the function of which it is for. My prediction states that there is a large function that points to each function set depending on what is happening. For example, if two functions are called at the same time, they could be together and pointed to the first function. It may be possible that each new function set could start out with B5F0, but I must look further.

Star Yoshi Posts: 1,603 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: Jul 7 2009 Clan (coming soon?) Yoshi's Island	080574A1 - Probably has something to do with compressed graphics. I found a pointer to the beginning of the compressed battle graphics section in here. 08056225 - It could start here, since at 080574A0, there is a pointer (according to the disassembler, but the starts one byte before the function starts). Oh, and this has been copied from the chatbox. I figure that I should save it here, since it should be important enough. Some other pointers that I have found are: When looking at Automatic/Arm: 089744D0 (battle graphics) - I used this to find the function, located at 085888C. 081298B0 - is located at 080574A0. 083848FC - is located at 080574B4. To be continued, but there are several more pointers in here. Have a nice day.
	Have a nice day! Yoshi is the ultimate video game character ever... If you don't believe me, then try beating me in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. My friend code is 3308-4556-9868. My nickname is Yoshi. To use a sword, /\ and / again.

Who are you calling an old man? Posts: 1,687 Group: Administrator Member #2 Joined: Jul 7 2009	...and I forgot to reply to your post... Quote: 089744D0 (battle graphics) - I used this to find the function, located at 085888C. Yes, that is a good start for finding graphic assembly.. (I think...) Quote: 080574A0 080574B4 I doubt that these are actually ARM, are you sure? This is likely thumb. The ones that are ARM often have a format of E******* in most places, or so, that's what I've been experiencing.. Quote: 080574A1 - Probably has something to do with compressed graphics. I found a pointer to the beginning of the compressed battle graphics section in here. 08056225 - It could start here, since at 080574A0, there is a pointer (according to the disassembler, but the starts one byte before the function starts). The function should start at 080587BC. The pointer, 089744D0, is grabbed at 0805883A, and this is where all the equations that you should be disassembling... As you read downward and find registers of which you do not know the values to may require you to look back,,, (before this offset..) Ofcourse you could set a breakpoint in SDL-H, but that doesn't tell you where the value came from... I shall look at this code before I can post more on it. EDIT: These do not appear to be Battle Graphics.. but instead... used with Tilescript Modifiers (Byte 0A in Room Properties..) Equation: GET 16-BIT AT [ 083B7108 + Tilescript Modifier Byte * 4 + 4 ] //* 4 for 32-bit ALIGNED GET 32-BIT [ 089744D0 + Above 16-bit * 4 ] // * 4 again.. for 32-bit aligned... These seem to be Tilescript Modifier TILESETS! I have tested it as well.. interesting... Edited by Teawater, Dec 19 2010, 06:08:33 PM.
