Is SNES collision hardware based (I once heard a lot of old consoles/computers used collision stuff built into the hardware) or does every game implement it differently? Is AABB common or are different types of bounding boxes usually used? I'm mainly talking about platformers e.g. Super Mario World,...

Makes sense, thanks.

I was looking through the mega man x RAM and I noticed tons of objects such as enemies and the player are state-based. But the weird thing is how they are used, like, states go 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 etc... not 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... which in my opinion is pretty weird. I tried poking them and setting...

Okay, but what about my other question?

What should I do with the address given if I want to view the actual disassembled routine at the address?

Hi, I'm very new at this kind of stuff and I'd like to know how are animations stored on the NES? How are the length and (especially) x/y offsets of the animation defined for example, what kind of control does the developer have in regards to it? Is it somewhat similar or very different to how many ...

I was very excited when I found this page: http://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Mega_Man_X:ROM_map Unfortunately the links are broken, does anyone know where I can find what was at the broken links? Or is it completely lost forever? EDIT: The page provides addresses, I'm not sure what I should do ...

So you're saying Bizhawk disassembles the entire game while it's emulating or what? Since I want to see the actual disassembled asm not just what values are changing.

Right... what programs should I be using to do this? I haven't actually "gotten started" yet. Right now all I have is the rom and snes9x-rr with a lua script that shows me the values but that's it. No idea how to actually properly decompile and use said code to set breakpoints or anything.

I want to disassemble an SNES game. I understand the basics of ASM. Thing is, this game hasn't ever been fully disassembled and commented unfortunately. All I'd like to do is understand what's going on behind the scenes when certain things happen in the game. What I'm looking for is a way to view wh...
