Nobody will be hurt, fixing them might even be fun.

Given most localisation teams would be happy to have Japanese comments, never mind a nice full code listing, systems overview, coding philosophy and all that jazz, then.
#DARK CLOUD 2 ROM WONT LOAD PROFESSIONAL#
Though I will at least give them one the importance of good specifications most professional failures and nightmare projects have been because I did not secure one or push for one. I can't be sure either outside of an insane degree of testing (and even then I probably have to worry about console manufacturing variances*) that nobody does, possibly even for the medical machines - if you have ever been bored (even as someone that likes fiddling with things enough to be on a site like this) by good boy coders prattling on about testing oriented approaches to coding, unit testing, the importance of a good specification and the like then you have seen nothing yet for the sort of insanity required here. I have all those links either in my bookmarks or found them first go in a search engine from memory, and would say I will pit my skills against any of those people, might not always win but it would be a proper fight for them. Most times it won't be an issue as the way games are coded tends to mean things are fairly obvious and unlikely to happen owing to being isolated. I would also flank it with as again it is really useful to know, even if you are not a coder (not to mention coders don't always make the best testers, and testers don't need to be coders).Īnd as far as "because I would like not to worry about one thing someone I commission does somehow modifying something else" then nothing you can do. It is not anywhere near as arcane as some of the other links I have dropped so far either it is often the sort of thing taught maybe not to day one codes but definitely first week. (7 might be a few more than some try to categorise them as, few less than others). If you are not familiar with coding errors in general then might want to sort that too if going to be going too much further into this sort of discussion
Get enough of that and things still making it through play testing More generally there is a reason why most instruction lists come with cycle times, DMA reads will have times associated with them and latency is a thing taught early in electrical engineering (though more likely to be called circuit hazard at that point).ġ) and 2) can sort of combine as well, especially if the original devs did some kind of shenanigans and were all "ooh that text routine is this far away from my drop rate, let's use it to calculate a jump" and other sorts of things that leave us with type setups in more general discussions. is probably one of the more noted examples of such a thing in games/emulation, and nicely covered. Usually seen more in devices with bankswitching, especially if code was duplicated between areas as a safeguard that was skipped when either the translating company opted for a cheaper bank setup (or maybe just a different one) or did not immediately become apparent. Still from a ROM hacking perspective there are two primary suspects if I was to investigate things. Solution from Unreal themselves was "don't worry, just make item number blah a basic cube or something knowing it will be invisible, don't use it in the game and go from there".
Turns out in whatever version of unreal was used an item of a given number was forced invisible by the original base game bodging some code that was spun out into the engine. They were using unreal or something and turned out a given item was invisible. One that sticks was I think from a GDC talk where a guy was talking about his time making the Tron game that appeared alongside the film a few years back. I am not sure where to start with this one.īug fixing, including "it is 5pm on a Friday and I want to go home" methods appear here. This is also ignoring that localisation need not be just changing text around (maybe changing script to appeal to the imaginary local kids as well) and can include bug fixes, rebalancing (which can include harder) and censorship things. We are heading down the "more art than science" parts of coding at this point, though choice phrase tends to be "falling debris" (as in watch for it).
