Great job Mustapha! Now just find the hitcounts for the rest of these bosses, and then move on to the other games.

No.

Aww, fuck...

I wish it were up to me to decide who the tech members were because Mustapha would be one in a minute.

Yeah, he does deserve the title. He probably has for quite some time...

[Kles]

I concur. You keep stiffing this guy, Simon. :D

Good work Mustapha! It takes time to find such stuff.

[Trigahd]

I agree, Mustapha has deserved the title of Tech Member for quite some time.

Nice find, Mustapha!

That's a great work, but boss hitcounts are very easy to find.
This just requires time, that's why nobody made this before.

I'm waiting for more bosses modifications and reprogramming rather than their hitcounts.

Sonic Hachelle-Bee: No. I haven't done this before because Sonic 3d is boring =P

These belong in an editor!

Maybe Icy Guy could implement them into his boss hitcount editor.

I still don't particularly understand how one can go about finding this stuff.

When you are looking for anything in a ROM, how do you know what to look for and where to look for it?

I take a savestate beofre and after something's changed. For example, take one before you lose a life and one after, then compare the savestates in a hex editor. If there's any values that're similar but different, fiddle with them and test them out.

Well, hitcounts, like music or mappings, are generally in a shared format throughout the game. One you fully understand the format of something, you learn things that are the same in each block of data. So, you can look up these similar characteristics, and learn to recognize the results as a certain type of data by the rest of its format.
