Yesterday, after over 20 years on ZSNES, I decided to finally see what they hype was all about for BSNES. I loaded the game that I was most familiar with... my hack... so that I could tell the differences right away. First off, WOW is it smooth and crisp.

The second thing I noticed was that my class names, for whatever reason, weren't working on BSNES. It worked for the first 8 profiles, but repeated from there. So, for example Relm was listed as Terra's class (Sorceress), Setzer as Locke's (Adventurer), and so on. Curiously, all of the Moogles were given Cyan's class (Retainer), and Biggs/Wedge had Locke's. Here is what it looks like:

What I am confused on is why it would display one way for one emulator, and another way on a different one. I know that BSNES claims to be the most accurate emulator out there, so it makes me worried about what this will look like on real hardware. I have worked very hard to make all of my changes on an unexpanded rom so that it can be used with Everdrives and Repro Carts. Does anyone have an Everdrive that they could use to check? You just need to get to the point in the game where you have control. If Biggs/Wedge are listed as "Soldier", everything's good. If they're listed as "Adventurer", then we have a problem. The patch can be found here: https://www.ff6hacking.com/forums/thread-3574.html


The code that I'm using is a modification of MetroidQuest's code.
Code:
C3/F091:  C2 20         REP #S20        (16 bit memory)
C3/F093:  B9 00 00      LDA $0000,Y     (load actor number plus next byte)
C3/F096:  29 FF 00      AND #$00FF      (leave only actor number)
