Re: [ALTTP, SNES] My Dream Hack

[itoikenza]

my dream Hack/.ips is as follows:
R+B= instant spin slash.
R+Y= 0mp cost ether.
L+Y= 0mp cost bombos
L+B= cycle through weapon effect, normal (or) fire (or) freeze on contact. any sword shoots energy which also has normal (or) fire (or) freeze (regardless of hearts) *fire/freeze effects also one-shot burn kill/freeze any enemy/boss*
L+R: cycle between these secondary items: Fairy(inf use),bow with silver arrows.

There would be a graphical change to the color, normal/red/blue of the weapons when cycling, neither would giving Uncle's Sword these effects, before bringing zelda to sanctuary, glitch the game...

Yeah, these are all feasible, but would require knowledge of ASM. The 0 MP magic spells would probably be the easiest to do.

edit the item to change the amount of magic required...

or hack it and make it give the same amount of magic it takes.

ideally these would be simple bits set in the ROM, but knowing that ALttP is a little non-standard and crazy no doubt its not as easy

[MathOnNapkins]

Well, he's talking about having button combos trigger these things for... whatever reason. Debugging? Testing? I dunno. The spin attack would probably be the hardest one to pull off, because that system is ... horrifically hard coded.

No idea why someone would want to complicate the control scheme.  The ideal for this would be like pressing Select on the subscreen, and it slides to the side showing a new screen where you can toggle control behaviours or even used for debugging?

Well i learnt me some ASM thanks to wiiqwertyuiop via irc, couldn't do the new controls but i managed to have those starting items and inf use. no 0mp though. still need status attack mods too.

edit: if i were to choose 1 effect asm'd in, it'd be "L+B= cycle through weapon effect, normal (or) fire (or) freeze on contact. any sword shoots energy which also has normal (or) fire (or) freeze (regardless of hearts)"

edit2: you know guys? This is the only zelda I ever played...
