#

Templates?

sharp pewter how would one convert code written for one to make it work on the other? for ex...

What is this code for? Only a doubt

#

If that's what I'm thinking I'll download it

second nintendo logo that can be customized, i need help converting it to the new template

upper imp Mar 1, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

Is that the second boot screen codes?

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

@hardy stag could you tell me how to do this please? sorry if i pinged.

hardy stag Mar 1, 2024, 3:02 PM

#

Away from pc rn srry

#

At school

#

For shit that's programmed in c/cpp it's usually a bit more complicated to port cause you gotta find the equivalent functions

YES! THAT ONE I WANT I WILL DOWNLOAD

How do I convert old template code to new template?

#

Also, what i need to put in my símbols.x? Because i dont want to replace it because it have all the things about my codes

#

hook_ADDR -> ncp_hook(ADDR)
hook_ADDR_ov_OV -> ncp_hook(ADDR, OV)
nsub_ADDR -> ncp_jump(ADDR)
nsub_ADDR_ov_OV -> ncp_jump(ADDR, OV)
repl_ADDR -> ncp_call(ADDR)
repl_ADDR_ov_OV -> ncp_call(ADDR, OV)

#

and in NCPatcher the names aren't specified by changing the function names, but rather like attributes

#

// In NSMBe Patching mode
void hook_ADDR_ov_OV() {
    // do something 
}

// In NCPatcher patching mode
ncp_hook(ADDR, OV)
void doSomethingPatch() {
    // do something 
}

#

i.. dont know what to do though

limber mortar Mar 1, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

Do you know how to program in C?

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

nope.

limber mortar Mar 1, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

Such as understanding the concept of a pointer

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

nuh uh

#

basic BASIC hex editing knowledge

limber mortar Mar 1, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

That isn't enough

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

i know i have to replace something with something

#

I'm still learning Python, I'll be covering C next

limber mortar Mar 1, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

You need to find what the corresponding functions in the new template are and use those instead

#

For example
loadSave in the new template is Save::loadMainSave I think

#

The easiest way of doing this is comparing the symbols in symbols.x

#

In the old template symbols.x there should be a line like
loadSave = 0x02012E08;

#

Searching for 2012E08 in the new template gives you this:

#

Screenshot_2024-03-01-15-31-30-584_com.android.chrome.jpg

#

The symbol looks much more complicated because it's a C++ symbol instead of a C symbol

#

But you can see that the corresponding function for that symbol is Save::loadMainSave

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

I'm still confused about that

#

as I mentioned before

#

I'm very inexperienced with the whole code part

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

yeah i still have no clue

limber mortar Mar 1, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

Guess you'll have to insist and do more searching

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

is this right?

📎 wow.rtf

#

and is 0x83 important?

#

@hardy stag Again, really very sorry for the ping, but could you help please?

hardy stag Mar 1, 2024, 6:28 PM

#

yeah dw gimme a sec

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 6:29 PM

#

tysm!

limber mortar Mar 1, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

Nope, it's wrong

#

To check for errors easily and understand better what is going on you should probably use an IDE like Visual Studio code

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

yeah, no. i dont have enough space for it

sharp pewter Mar 1, 2024, 7:36 PM

good luck with it

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 8:18 AM

any updates, will smith?

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 8:33 AM

#

hardy stag rewriting it

if youre rewriting it, could you make a presses play the a press sound?

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 2:20 PM

#

hardy stag rewriting it

like, the sound that plays when you press "Mario Game" on the title screen? And for credits, could I get a higher res version of your profile pic?

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

soo I was going to rewrite it as a proper scene like how ed_it did with the level previews hack but I got lazy and pretty much just ported it

📎 bootscene.cpp

#

sorry for the wait I was busy

#

@sharp pewter

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 3:58 PM

#

Im so sorry for bothering you, thank you so much though! Could I have. high quality version of your pfp for credits?

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 3:58 PM

#

np, and I don't think I have a high quality version of my pfp anymore lol it's just a random AI generated peter griffin image I found

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 3:58 PM

#

this is what it looks like so far

#

ah

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

oh nice

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

does this work fine?

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

LMAO

#

sure

#

but I don't really think I need a special thanks tbh

#

just put me in the credits

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 4:00 PM

#

k

#

found it

#

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 4:10 PM

hardy stag soo I was going to rewrite it as a proper scene like how ed_it did with the leve...

That reference that seems wtf there is actually an hardware register, that's why it's at such an high address

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

oh I assume it's not in the reference then

mortal panther Mar 2, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

it is

#

it's the buttons pressed lol

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

I swear I tried that and it didn't work

mortal panther Mar 2, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

Input namespace

#

smth like that

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 7:47 PM

Yeah I used getpressedkeys

mortal panther Mar 2, 2024, 7:48 PM

yeah fix these

hardy stag Mar 2, 2024, 7:49 PM

#

Bro I tried but it didn't return key presses

mortal panther Mar 2, 2024, 7:50 PM

#

weird

#

@mystic tundra?

sharp pewter Mar 2, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

it works, thats the point

upper imp Mar 2, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

sharp pewter does this work fine?

LMAO, willsmith2 dont deserve this lol

limber mortar Mar 3, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

sharp pewter it works, thats the point

Usually that's not how code goes

#

Sometimes just passing the code as is because it just works might come as a surprise later

sharp pewter Mar 3, 2024, 8:44 AM

#

i really dont care, does it work without interfering with anything else? even if its just barely hanging on? if yes, ok.

thats what the nsmb hacking community calls skawo code marioready

bc a lot of his codehacks cause other problems

eh idc
skawo is a god anyways

if i do i'll burn the hack, burn my laptop, burn my ds and erase my past and existence off of the face of earth

we if erase your existence off of the face of earth make sure u dont fail, its not fun and i know that from experience :3

i mean guys look it works just fine

i dont think the ds makes that sound

sharp pewter Mar 3, 2024, 11:31 AM

#

its fine

#

i think its normal for the ds to make sounds it never was meant to make

#

but at least the thing sort of works

nimble quest Mar 3, 2024, 11:51 AM
