30,000 damage patch and 24 bit monsters HP patch conflict - madsiur - 04-17-2012

After the post of someone who couldn't get the game run properly with the 2 patches mentioned in the title, I discovery that there is a conflict between the two patches. They use the same free space in bank C0. To resolve this, I suggest doing the following steps. I won't release a super patch which makes both patches work together as I'm not the creator of any of the two...

First apply the 30,000 damage patch. It's the one that change the most code while the 24 bit monster HP change less code. The second step consist of writing manually the 24 bit HP patch .This patch consist of 2 jump to free space in bank C0 where you put the rest of the code. Originally the two routine you jump to where starting at C0/D613 and C0/D631. Here they are:

First routine (C0/D613):

Code:
99 F4 3B     STA $3BF4,Y

99 1C 3C     STA $3C1C,Y

DA           PHX

8A           TXA

BF 50 CF CF  LDA $CFCF50,X

99 78 3C     STA $3C78,Y 

99 79 3C     STA $3C79,Y

FA           PLX 

C2 20        REP #$20 

6B           RTL

Second routine(C0/D631):

Code:
B9 F4 3B    LDA $3BF4,Y 

E5 EE       SBC $EE

99 F4 3B    STA $3BF4,Y

48          PHA 

08          PHP

38          SEC

I suggest writing these two portions of code elsewhere. There is plenty of free space in C0 starting at C0/DC10 up to C0/EF9F. This is more than enough. The only thing left to do is to change the offset of the two JSL in the following portion of code. You will also need to put any NOP you see. This code is also taken from the 24 bit HP patch applied to a clean ROM:

First Jump

Code:
C2/1342: 22 31 D6 C0     JSL $C0D631

C2/1346: EA              NOP

C2/1347: EA              NOP

C2/1348: EA              NOP

C2/1349: EA              NOP

Second Jump

Code:
C2/2CCB: 22 13 D6 C0     JSL $C0D613

C2/2CCF: EA              NOP

C2/2CD0: EA              NOP

That's it! This should make both patches work together!

Hey! Hey! This is not a thread to spread rumors, although I find this one pretty interesting. It would be a honor but with responsibilities as well. I'm really dedicated to modifying and understanding FFVI and I only try to share the tiny bit I know about it.

By the way, the 32k damage patch does interfere with other patches that use some free space in C0 such as these ones:

Code:
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

| Offsets       bytes     Name                Author        |

u got my vote

RE: 30,000 damage patch and 24 bit monsters HP patch conflict - kefkaroth - 02-27-2013

i was wondering if it isn't too much to ask if someone could email me a copy of ff6 with the 24 bit hp patch in it. since i don't know the hex editing stuff nor have time to learn it this way i could have a rom with the patch installed on it to make my dream ff6 rom.

RE: 30,000 damage patch and 24 bit monsters HP patch conflict - SSJ Rick - 02-27-2013

just so u know, u wont be able to use ff3usme after a patch is applied

If you have the time to make a dream version of FF6 you have time to learn hex editing, the most basic thing outside using an editor. Such a statement is a mark of laziness or motivation lacking.

In fact, he could still edit the last 65536 HP of the monster. Only the first of the 3 bytes has to be edited with a hex editor.

Ah well, no, asking for or requesting a patch is okay, this is a hacking site after all.
What Sute there seems to be saying, is anything outside of ROM hacking that is illegal or of bad taste is not permitted. 'Hacks' meaning computer hacks of some kind, like viruses and such. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this.
