Um, what do you mean by Rom and Ram?

 

Um, what do you mean by Rom and Ram?

ROM stands for "Read-only Memory" and RAM is "Random access memory".

 

lol. I mean, why did she break it up into those two sections. Idungetit

Yep and there is the answer.
ROM and RAM are different.

In other words:

ROM = Your exe
RAM = Nothing interesting for you I guess Also not for me.

 

Oh, I see. Thank you.

 

Why don't you include these in your FAQ o.o

 

It really isn't finished, you better post some offsets

 

I can't find any ><

 

R.O.M. is the data in the exe, it never changes. This includes program functions, headers, and other miscellaneous data.
R.A.M. is the active data on your computer's processor. Active variables are stored here, and what is currently happening in the exe.

At least I think so... Basically the R.A.M. reads the R.O.M. It's like the R.A.M. is a mechanic with a photographic memory, but has no soul. The R.O.M. is his paraplegic boss, who knows everything, but cannot do a thing by himself. The mechanic does whatever the boss tells him to do.

Thats wrong. RAM is the active data on your system's processor's cache (The RAM which is integrated with the processor) or on your system's RAM.

 

Update!

and these same values are used for profile.dat to store the weapon type. I thought I would say that even though it is quite obvious that information in RAM would be saved in profile.dat as the same values in order to be read back into RAM again when a save file is loaded. Weeeee! The things you learn.

Thanks for figuring this out, Master Obvious

 

Thanks for figuring this out, Master Obvious :p

No problem.

 

It's also for the TSC, the game itself (order of weapons) and so on, it's just a general list for weapons, like the other stuff.

 

I think I should start experimenting with profile.dat and see what each of the other addresses do, there are bound to be many addresses that no-one has tinkered with yet.

But but but but but...

Who would want a hack that starts only when you save game o.o

 

You can't build "hacks" into savefiles.

 

Not sure if this is known yet or not, but $DE78 (or is 0xDE78 better?) is the "Fade Out" color, which is used as the background color for the opening cutscene and after the fade out animation.
