I'll look into that. In the meantime, I've got a ROM Map of sorts in the works... consisting of data both in the SCHG, along with new data I've got figured out. I think I'll get as much of that done as I possibly can before worrying too much about RAM

or like the Genesis games, they're all exactly the same.

Not exactly. Knuckles in S3K/SK has a slightly short jump height than Sonic or Tails to prevent him from jumping up to Sonic/Tails's AIZ1 Boss Arena without going from the rock.

That one is true, but I meant mainly the speed and acceleration stats. Contrary to belief, Sonic isn't the fastest character, all three have exactly the same handling.

THANK YOU... I'm so sick of people trying to tell me that Knuckles is supposedly slower than Sonic and Tails... ugh. In S3K Competition, YES. He is... otherwise, no.

In S3K Competition he uses the EXACT SAME STATS as Sonic. No really, that's why he uses the insta shield sound and doesn't have glide or climb, his 2P code branches into Sonic's.

His code is identical, yes... But there are 3 separate tables for speed vales that all 3 characters use IIRC.

I'm curious as to how you uncovered the code (Obviously disassembling it I know... but how you found the code in itself), The emulator I'm using (VBA Re-recording) doesn't seem to have any form of ROM instruction tracing... like one of the Genesis emulators has, and its disassemble function is... well, crap.

Unless I'm mistaken this is THUMB, and not ARM. Is all of the game in THUMB? or is the code a combination of both?
Also it would seem that the instructions are byte swapped... Pardon my ignorance as I'm not quite that familiar with GBA disassembly as I'd like to be, but is all of the code typically byte swapped?

[MainMemory]

Most GBA code is THUMB because the cart data bus is 16 bits, and it operates in little-endian, yes.

I don't use VBA for debugging, I use NO$GBA Debugger. It lacks a trace logging feature so you will have to manually trace the code yourself. Basically, I set a breakpoint read on 0x03005050. This address determines whether or not the in-game button combination has been activated. After that, I let the game run and studied the code I've posted in my first post.

Does anyone know how to properly enable the continue screen after a game over? I've read something about it being Chao related, but I am unsure. I ask because I've stumbled upon this code:

Enable Continue After Game Over
EEBB6160 70B4E3E6
65DA389A 09D8882C
FFB95C38 DC98874C
65DA389A 09D8882C

It works for normal deaths and when the timer reaches 9:59:99. Here's a video: https://www.youtube....h?v=VTqEG8hvuTE

I ended up creating this code as well:

Timer Doesn't Kill You [Note]
7D34FB8A AC943D37
5B5DDED8 FCCDC183

Note: Your player doesn't die when the timer reaches 9:59:99.

Wait, Sonic Advance was supposed to have a Continue screen?

[Demonic722]

I was unaware of the continue screen until I made the code since I never really do much with the Chao. Here's where I've read that information: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Continue

....Why is this confusing? Of course Sonic Advance has Continue and continue screen. You get them by collecting the little Chaos(plural of chao) in the Special Stage. It's pretty devoid, but it has a basic countdown like the classics and a "Continue" plastered on the screen. People seriously didn't know about this?

Edit: Seems typing on my phone is next to impossible.
