Yeah. I damn this part of the learning process to hell. I got tired of not knowing C, so I decided to learn it. The problem is, I learn best when I apply what I'm learning to a real world function. So, I decided my first C program would be one that I've been wanting for a while - a script dumping program for a Fire Emblem game. At first I was going to read the pointers from the ROM and have something similar to the game's own Huffman Decompression program to decompress the text into a script dump. But then I decided I don't want to reinterpret all that ARM, and that I'd rather just do an assembly hack of the game and force it to cycle through all the text in the game. Now, if I do that, the only space I have for text is the space the game has allocated for it. So I'll need to copy it from there and add it into a separate file. I don't know enough to read data from an open application. I'll need to know how to send information to the application I'm reading from, too. I plan to have the game sit in a wait state after each text load, and the program I write would copy the text into the script dump before disabling the wait state flag. So, what are the commands, their syntaxes, and the libraries I will need to do such a task? I don't know what to type into Google that would give me the results I want so I figured I'd pester you guys... |
