Pony Fantasy VI Remake

I see. It looks like his code rearranges the damage modification checks a bit, which is maybe why changing some stuff isn't working.

You can restore this whole routine to what it is in vanilla pretty easily. Do you know how to use xkas? Copy this whole thing into notepad, save it as e.g. vanilla-damage-modification.asm, then open up a command prompt in that folder and type in this:

Code:

xkas vanilla-damage-modification.asm yourromfilename.smc

NOTE: make sure your ROM is headered. If not, comment out the "header" line (add a semicolon in front of it).

Code:

hirom
header         ;comment this line out if your ROM has no header
