To Do List

Pokémon Stadium

• Critical Hits are so weird in Pokémon Stadium.
• Document the Hyper Beam + Sleep glitch
• Document Haze mechanics changes from RBY
• Trainer AI
• On hold: editor for CPU and Player's Pokémon

Pokémon Trading Card Game

• On hold, nightmare to fix: fixing the Lv. 68 Zapdos glitch. The problem is that the game reloads the field and saves the game state before checking if a winning condition is fulfilled.

Pokémon Trading Card Game 2

• Check if there is a rarity bias in boosters depending on the CPU opponent.

Skies of Arcadia

• On hold: editor for enemies, spells and special attacks.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

• Figure out what the third cheat code does at Title Screen (LEFT B B B UP B B B+RIGHT). It sets (FFDE) to 2 if it was set to 3, and sets (C902)-(C905) to 0x50808080. (FFDE) is related to the system you're using to play (0x02 is Game Boy, 0x00 is Game Boy Color). (FFDD) is the value of accumulator on startup (depends on system you use, 0x01 is Game Boy / Super Game Boy, 0x11 is Game Boy Color). (C902)-(C905) are loaded from array at 3F:4660, and seems to be related to the type of screen displayed.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories

• Currently working on the stupid AI discarding Tremendous Fire instead of activating it. What could possibly go wrong ? Someone obviously didn't debug there. The subroutine used to discard a Tribute monster while the hand is full is being called with a hand consisting of one spell card because the conditional statement is utterly fucked up.
• Guess what ? The AI choose to discard Swords of Revealing Light instead of activating it if there's no monsters on board !
• This game will drive me nuts : let's say the CPU has a Harpie's Feather Duster in hand, and you have a trap in play. You play a monster. The CPU activates Harpie's Feather Duster on his turn. Everything is all right, right ? NO ! If you don't play a monster and leave your field empty, the CPU will attack without activating Harpie's Feather Duster because the check for an opponent trap card is made AFTER the check for "does my opponent have a monster ?" when deciding whether or not to attack !
• Found the remnants of a debug mode. There is more than the sound test and chara viewer which were found earlier.
• I found a major glitch, filling the player's deck with some data. Might be useable in a TAS. aaaaaaaaRRRRRRRR aaaaaaaaRRRRRRRR aaaaaaaaRRRRRRRR (Attacking directly with this monster causes the game to crash, as it doesn't have a proper illustration). Even the main characters find this pathetic.
• Working on the AI so it can use Pot of Greed. Pointers nightmare.
• Working on the AI so it doesn't discard Swords of Revealing Light anymore. Tracing Swords of Revealing Light script atm.

Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2006

• Currently working on the banlist password system.
