Tips on dissecting this game

Hello. Here's some cool tips and tricks on how to hack through this game's rom.

Sound effects

Put the rom in audacity as raw data and set the settings to this. (note: Ignore the default endian part. The endian needed is big-endian.)

Now keep scrolling through till you get to about here. where the wave things actually looks like sound effects rather than noise.

Swfs

Assuming you have 7-zip installed, simply do this,

which'll take you to this.

Simply extract, and you're done!

Cool fact: the extentionless file 1, has the header, the tile graphics, and other stuff.

Maybe there's some actionscript stuff that will help us in the swfs.

That's all I have to say for now, happy hacking! --Chilistudios (talk) 23:35, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Workin' on a ROM map

I'm working on a ROM map for this game. Here's what I have so far.

0x117074: Start of first batch of 4bpp tile graphics. There appears to be more 4bpp gfx after the jumbled mess after the first batch

0x281554: end of first batch(?) ( the real end might actually be at 0x281434)

0x108644: start of 8bpp linear gfx. reccomended horizontal tiledgdd gfx view resolution is 12 pixels

0x114B0C-0x11706C: palletes

0x3EF8B0-3F0490:start & end of 1 color 4bpp letters

I need to find a way to figure out the hex offset the sfx are at.

See you on the flip side! --Chilistudios (talk) 23:05, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Unused cutscene?

I noticed an exit cutscene for Eggman's Base in the SWF files just like the other stages in the game, but I recall the game instantly playing the ending cutscene after completing the final level instead of this particular cutscene. Please correct me if I'm wrong. --Tent2 (talk) 03:44, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't have a working Leapster to test this right now but I'm pretty sure the exit cutscene plays when you don't have all the Chaos Emeralds. (All rings collected in all stages.) You need all the Chaos Emeralds to get the actual ending. -MegaDrive2004 (talk) 3:22, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Neat stuff.

This guy has been reverse engineering the engine for this game. Neat stuff.
