Okay. First off...
some random SaGa Frontier information!
Battle decoding (x_loto)
x_loto used his superior coolness to conjure this piece of knowledge. Sweet!
Here is the .bin with the above info in it.
Probably best perused in a hex editor--I like XVI32, myself.
Boss Info
A work-in-progress detailing those bosses whose abilities are generated on-the-fly.
Character Status Blocks
An attempt to decode character statistic blocks in memory.
Simplified Character Status Blocks
A simplified version of the above char status file.
Enemy Name Text
A listing of each enemy name and its corresponding hex value.
In-battle Status Analysis
As Character status, above, but for in-battle statistics.
The NEW INITDATA.txt. Not finished..
Not quite so new, now, no?
Here are the other INITDATA files--they're FAR from complete, but it's an example of the differences between them:
Itams
A listing of each item and its corresponding hex value.
Item weight
What appears to be weight values for each item.
Maps
Map values. The address for changing maps is in Random.txt, above.
MSCness!
Some stuff I came up with piddling with the memory card save file. Nothing useful, really..
Monster Equipment and Abilities
Fairly self-explanatory, I should think. Recently updated--to be finished soon-ish! (maybe)
Random info
A smattering of information with varying degrees of usefulness.
Subsumes a few other files, as well.
Ability spreadsheet
An Excel spreadsheet of the Ability dump. Formulas and whatnot to come.
Item spreadsheet
As above, but for the Item dump.
Ability Knowledge!
Mir_Vimes' new and improved ability dump. (Links directly to his site)
'Quipment Knowledge!
GameFAQs' Mir_Vimes' updated item dump.
Skills
A listing of each skill and its corresponding hex value.
How to apply palettes in TileMolester
A .ZIP containing 4 JPEGs which explain step-by-step how to apply the proper palette to a Saga sprite with TileMolester.
This assumes you're working with the sprites in the MCHR directory--not sure if those are also battle sprites.
Linkz! :o
DoomSwell's awesome archive!
Squidhead's equally elite info site!
Sakura, the site that started it all. (Japanese site)
Sites unrelated to Saga:
Defiant Peasants, the musick!
Defiant Peasants, the forums!
Grand Flamingo!
This cat has been a TREMENDOUS help on the data diving end, and his works are listed above.
Ever played Might and Magic III: The Isles of Terra?
Ever played it on Super Nintendo?
Ever notice how the shrines that should increase Personality,
increase Intelligence, instead?
Well, here is an IPS patch to solve your problems! ^^
Included in the above is the readme, as well as the disassembler log. Enjoy!
Also, here is the readme on its own.
