If you find anything let me know. I will implement the "edit savegame" functionality into the main script soon. Basicly will go like this:
- Ask user which File he wants to sacrifice
- Ask user which File he wants the new savegame to be
- Ask user which File he wants to use to start out
- Let user edit stuff
- Run procedure (script automatically handles everything)
Edit:
I had a suspicion I overlooked something and I was right. So far, I've only looked at EWRAM. But there is also an SRAM memory domain and it does hold the savegames too. I will look at it and mess around with it later and report back here when I find something.I had a suspicion I overlooked something and I was right. So far, I've only looked at EWRAM.

o%256 tells what the checksum should be at $0016. Now I need to find the checksum address for the other two files and then making a "edit stuff" thingie will be easy.Language: Luao=0 for z=0x0010,0x0013,0x01 do o=o+memory.read_u8(z) end for z=0x0018,0x0707,0x01 do o=o+memory.read_u8(z) end text(70,70," ".. o%256 .."

Changes in 0.11 r4:
- Action Commands: Fix misaligned values.
- Battle: Fix bad camera addresses on the US version.
Added support for the demo ROM.
- Warnings: In Savegames, changing the current used file in the options now counts as "editing memory".
Warping to other rooms now counts as "editing memory".
Editing Position, Stats, Items, Action Commands, Flags, Savegames, Misc now counts as "editing memory".
- Run Event: Fixed issue where the script menu became suspended forever.
- Warp to Room: When warping to a room that starts an event while "set pos/cam" is active, doesn't set pos/cam now.
When warping and loading a savestate right after, aborts the warping now.
When trying to warp while the game is busy (e.g. when entering a battle or if there is an event), abourts the warping now.
Added a setting to override events and bad conditions (e.g. when entering a battle).
- Items: Added option to choose whether or not you want the script to account for "can equip" flags.
The item kind "shop" has been split into "consumables", "badges" and "pants".
Equipping and unequipping does not update your stats nor item effect, so I have added a warning telling so. (Might add a workaround hack in the future, but it's low priority)
- Savegames: Removed "equipped pants, badge, coffee" entries because editing it wouldn't update your stats nor item effect. (If you want to change which items are equipped in a savegame, you have to load it, change equips in-game and then save.)Changes in 0.11 r3:
- Audio: The pace/vol reset button now works only when you "allow edits" in the settings.
- Warnings: In Audio, the pace/volume reset button and the soundtest buttons now count as "editing memory".
- Position: Added speed display.
- Stats/Overview: Fix wrong experience address size.
- Flags/Savegames: Fix wrong "can defend by hammer" flag.
Fix wrong "Thunder Bros Advanced" flag.
Fix wrong "Fire Bros Advanced" flag.
- Battle: When poisoned, it shows the correct status ailment now.Changes in 0.11 r2:
- Audio: Added soundtest - lets you play most if not all BGM and SFX.
- Savegames: Added more flags.
- Flags: Added more flags.
- Items: Now accounts for "can equip" flags.
- The kiosk demo ROM of the game is now supported. You can only use some displays for now..
- Basic Info renamed to "Overview".Changes in v0.11 r1:
- Fixed issues related to the timer entries in Savegames and Misc.
- Menu function has been rewritten, which might improve performance.
- Snake game: Fixed script crash when starting Snake.
- Savegames: Added some important flags.
"Auto-Apply Checksum" now works even when the display is closed and it will now affect all three savegames.
Direction now shows a text (up, upright, right, etc.) instead of a number.
- Warnings: Now shows if "Auto-Apply Checksum" is active.
- Green Pipes: Has been renamed to "Flags".
-Free Movement: Moonjump and Through Walls will now only work when you are in control. Should fix all softlock issues.
Camera fix now accounts for Z position. Fixes issue where the camera was displaced when using "Free Movement" and moving across high ledges.Changes in v0.11:
- Various minor fixes. Reorganized the menu items.
- Made Console Notifications, Warnings, Run While Paused, Add More Space and Change Font to be within a single menu option "Script Settings".
Added a setting to enable/disable all editing functionalities in the script.
- Added "Audio": You can change volume and pace of BGM, in-battle BGM and SFX.
This is a fairly limited functionality and SFX pace cannot be changed on Japanese, apparently. Maybe this will be updated later.
- Added "Savegames": Allows you to view and edit savegame memory.
Specifically, you can edit the room you are in, your position in that room, your stats and "base" stats, the ingame time, bros attack uses and your equipped armor.
You can change the savegame slot the game currently uses.
You can enable/disable savegame slots.
You can not edit flags yet since they haven't been researched (might be added later).
You can not edit items because it was too troublesome to add (please use the regular items display instead).
- Added "Misc": Allows you to edit money, bros attack uses, ingame time, event timer.
- Added "Warp to Room": Allows you to go to other rooms directly.
- Action Commands: Barrel button now works for Luigi behind Mario, too.
- Stats: Added "base" stats and Level.
The edit form has been removed. Please use the display to edit stats.
- Edit Position: Has been renamed to "Free Movement".
Moonjump and Through Walls will now work even when the display is closed.
Camera will now follow the brothers downwards on the Y-axis correctly (although it doesn't account for altitude at the moment).
Fixed that Through Walls didn't count as editing memory.
When controlling only one brother, the "Move around" buttons, Moonjump and Through Walls will now only affect that brother instead of both.
- Warnings: Now shows if Moonjump or Through Walls is active.
- Position: Added editing features.
- Console Notifications: Green pipe change notifications have been removed.
- Battle: Added ailments "Floaty" and "Heavy".
Renamed "Stunned" to "Dizzy".
Fixed some issues where enemies were not considered dead by the script.
Fixed that the 6th enemy slot was considered a brother slot by the script.
- Run Event: Fixed erroneous event pointer for Cackletta (University) on the US version.
Removed duplicate Warp to Larry entry on the US version.
- Basic Information: Fixed that the script crashed on hard reset.
- Holding + or - buttons will now cause numbers to increment/decrement faster--- sram ---

one NPC memory slot:
0x0079e4 +- slotoffset (X-Pos, 4 bytes)
0x0079e4 +- slotoffset+4 (Y-Pos, 4 bytes)
0x0079e4 +- slotoffset+8 (Z-Pos, 4 bytes)
slotoffset is 0x128
(have confirmed it works without memory editing. It's super precise)
Notes:
- Looks anything higher than 4096 (0x100) will clip.
- It seems the push only happens with NPCs that walk. Most Koopas in Koopa Cruiser don't walk, so you can't skip taking the photos.
- Luigi NPC, the 5000 he can push you upwards are actually enough to make it through the Toadsworth trigger. But I don't think it is possible to set up.
- Trying the Oho jee push, it looks like you get different values for the push depending on your Y-pos. It almost seems like ejection is based on a circle.
Edit:
In Mountain Village you can possibly skip the bridge but I haven't got the clip to work so far. And same thing as above, would work on JP only (not even that is confirmed).
So NPC clipping is looking useless in Mountain Village as well. That was the last promising place. I'm feeling safe about starting TAS v2 now, just waiting for Bizhawk 1.11.9.
[16:36:31] <Mothrayas> I have to say this argument about robot drug usage is a lot more fun than whatever else we have been doing in the past two+ hours
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero
IIRC, the triggers for the item/badge shops are: - After clearing the Sewers (BBCT 1) - After clearing Chucklehuck Woods (BBCT 2) - After clearing Woohoo Hooniversity? (It's some time before beating Mom Piranha) (BBCT 3, LF 1) - After Princess Peach is kidnapped (BBCT 4) - After collecting the Beanstar Pieces (BBCT 5, LF 2) - After beating Popple+Birdo (BBCT 6, LF 3) I believe the Teehee Valley enemies change after Princess Peach is kidnapped, as I'm pretty sure I encountered them on the way to S.S. Chuckola via the top entrance.
Here's the script for BizHawk; let me know if anything else needs explanation. https://www.dropbox.com/s/psvlichjvegg3o3/jdaster64_mlss_scripts_v2.lua?dl=0
