That's what i usually do, "reverse engineering" so to speak, cause if i see the code that does something, and can see what it does, i can try figure out how it does it Smile

But i was able to get most code types working, took forever for me to understand them, but it was kinda obvious, only thing wasn't that they didn't give clear examples.

Though, i have some weird issues, for example if i have a "if button pressed" code above other code (but in separate Codes, as in Checkboxes) the others won't runt.
Might be save states issues again though.

Will check out your Hitbox stream;D

EDIT:

It can be worth checking that i was 10 hours off -_-.

Trying to figure out what the hell "stbx and "lbzx" does.
stbx r1,r2,r3
I think stbx at least just saves what's in r1 (as bytes?) in the address "r2 + r3".
I assume lbzx does something similar, but i can't find the memory address it loads from,
the place i found is wrong.

I don't know what the 'x' suffix instructions do.

They are indexed loads and stores. Indexed loads and stores add the last 2 registers mentioned in the instruction to calculate the address to use for loads and stores.

Ah, well the only conclusion i could make was that they add the Registers together (the Addresses),
the thing i didn't know about the Lbzx or whatever it was called was that it loaded it weirdly, so i thought i was at the wrong address.

Btw, i am trying to backtrack a framecount multiplier, so that i can change the default 1.0 to 0.5.
However it seems to use different ones depending on the scene (which sucks).
And when i backtracked one of them, it goes to a value which i can't figure out hows it's ever written to the memory.
Dolphin won't notice it even with Breakpoints, and the closest thing i could find was that it occurred during some thread context sleep thingy.
And happened during a "While not true, repeat" function which did nothing except load a value and compare it constantly,
so i just clicked to break out of that loop, and when it did the value had been written to the address i was keeping check on, even though there wasn't any such function there Sad

I mean the 1.0 values has to come from somewhere, and i am pretty sure it's best practice to change the source than the change the last one in the line.

Well good luck. I'm gonna be playing the Dark Souls III DLC today so I probably wont be back on here until later. See ya.

EDIT: going to stream soon. Playing Dark Souls III later

Thanks!

Awesome, hope you enjoy it, i myself played through DS1 and 2 some month ago, and well, i played both for like 100 hours each (though i prefer the first one cause of things;P).

Watching the Stream a bit, first thing i noticed was your layout, i always had the Game in another Window, didn't know you could have it like that, thought it would take up the entire Main Window lol.

Yeah Dark Souls 1 is the best out of the 3, although 3 is way better than 2 [color=#7F7F7F]*cough*and Bloodborne is the absolute best game of all time*cough*[/color]

On the previous stream, I made a list of problems that is probably not complete but asldkfjalsdkgjh whatever I'm exhausted mentally

Well that's nice, cause well, the second game was hugely disappointing compared to the first (in some terms at least for me!)
Mostly i had a hard time with how the Combat feeling was, i did however like that the weapons was a bit better scaled.
Well not gonna say anything more, don't wana spoil for those who haven't played it!

And i really admire your documentation, you really put your mind to it!
For all it's worth take a break and enjoy some gaming for fun Smile

It's never good to work oneself to death so to speak (and well i do the same, get stuck with something and can waste so much time on it).
Eventually you just thing "fuck it...", have fun and good luck, and come back whenever you like;D

Haha, that toon link xD

Just wanted to post a bit of a different update than the usual "hurr durr wind waker 60 fps is broken as fuck and i dunno how to fix it but im trying real hard let me help you with PPC, @Zerowalker ( ͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡°)".

I'm taking a break from Wind Waker Framerate Hack for a day or two. In the meantime I've been working on G2G (which is that thing I mentioned that one time, remember?). I'm actually pretty close to finishing it. Before you get too impressed, just know that I didn't write the actual PPC assembler; it's the same EXE that CodeWrite uses.

I've finally decided on the syntax:

G2G Syntax: (Show Spoiler)

More info coming soon.

Edit: has formatting gon 2 far

Code:

       public static string EncapsulateInTokensAndIndent(string text, string openingToken, string closingToken, int indentTabs)

        {

            return string.Join(Environment.NewLine, (new string[] { openingToken, SetIndent(text, indentTabs), closingToken }));

        }

        public static string SetIndent(string text, int indentTabs)

        {

            return string.Join(Environment.NewLine, text

                .Split(new string[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

                .Select(x => new string(' ', indentTabs * 4) + x.Trim()));

        }
