Easy Intro Skip (faster development) - m06 - 04-27-2016
I found a way to skip the intro straight to new game/loading screen. This speeds things up a lot when testing changes, not needing to manually skip the intro on restart.
The hack is 4 bytes:
Code:
; Skip intro
C2/686F(7E/5000): CE 00 02 DEC $0200
6B RTLFor headered ROM the offset is: $026A6F: CE 00 02 6B
To put the intro back change the values back to 4C 0C 50 4C

Another alternative unless I'm mistaking what exactly your change does, would be to put an FD (do nothing) byte in the event code at:
CA/5E33: A9 Show title screen

Gi Nattack wins!
I was a bit stoopid there, thought doing it from events wouldn't be enough.
It's probably good to have a number of ways to do this, since everyone should kill their intro while developing.
One more is to kill the A9 command early:
Code:
C0/99AC: D2 B8 (gen. act. A9, now same as gen. act. FD)Could be useful if you can't locate the A9 event command due to changed events.

I've been meaning to do this for years but I still just keep fastforwarding through the intro like a chump.
RE: Easy Intro Skip (faster development) - seibaby - 04-29-2016
I just tested it and it doesn't skip the intro if there is no save file. Is there a way to skip the intro and just get dropped straight in Narshe with Terra and the boys if there is no save file?
