BUMP: Added Part 4: RTC Simulation

That only applies to original hardware. Emulators do not have the same restriction. At the same time, you'd have a difficult time finding a real MBC5 cartridge to write to, so it's not much of an issue in 2014. On top of that, the RTC can be modified(The functions accessing the RTC) to work...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this line here is incorrect: FD XX YYZZ FD - Loop byte XX - Number of times to loop, or 00 for infinite. YYZZ - In-Bank pointer to location of loop. It's pretty funny to come across a jump to a whole rest that makes the whole audio channel just stop. rofl. A...

FF:7FFF = 0x3FFFFF I'm not really sure what you're asking. Did you mean 0x7FFFFF? See the bottom part about writing to the MBC by using ASM.

Here's a fun one! Do you want to do something BIG in the second Gen pokemon games? Is the 2MB(minus original content) limit too small for you? Do you just want 2MB for your exclusive use? Well, expanding your ROM allows all of these things! BE AWARE THAT INCREASING THE ROM SIZE FORCES THE RTC...

Thanks! I don't like using dynamically allocated resources in a setting like this. Not having precise control will always bug me. Also, I had noticed after browsing through the script banks that none of them are ever filled to start off with. In part 6 of my tutorial I find free space at...

I actually only use PKSV. It's more of an interpreter on top of an interpreter. It's essentially the same deal as byte code, but lower level. The poke script is above ASM, but below C. It's essentially what would happen if you made a programming language that's just a series of sub routines, but...

KNOCK: Added links to resources at the beginning. Also, attaching resources to this post just in case any of them become unavailable for some unforseeable reason.

I'm not treating you like an idiot. If I don't know what you know I just explain things a bit more than I normally would. Like, we have to declare our strings by hand because of the limitations of working with a ROM. Before we could have a tool that allows us to freely declare strings(constants...

Because that's how all binaries work. You must keep in mind that you are not scripting in some php file, you are modifying binary data. This is the sort of thing I meant when I said there's a missing level of abstraction. When you use an IDE with a high level language, you can make as many...

How do you find scripting tedious? Like, what about it specifically I mean? With the exception of not being able to create variables, I find it to be an excessively simple and straight forward way to get things done.

He always had a paid license for corporate work, not that it really matters at this point since he released NO$GBA as 100% Freeware back in July. My issue with script debugging is that pointers and variables are not handled the same way that real scripting languages are. The script used in...

At the same time, NO$GBA is literally two add-ons from being perfect(GBA IR Adapter and GBA WiFi Adapter) and runs flawlessly on just about any windows emulator that supports OpenGL. Martin Korth deserves a lot of credit for having put 12 years of work into NO$ Also, I'll argue that it isn't...

No one uses NO$GBA apparently XD Also, you talk about the SDL version of VBA like it's a bad thing.

Might want to be careful with that. Evolved Pokemon start out with a few moves, then learn other moves at later levels than their pre-evolutionary stages. Some Pokemon don't learn any moves after evolution as well.
