Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since we posted and there's a good reason for that, life gets in the way of passion projects and this one is massive.

But over the last year we have started a company, created a website,...

Global announcement:
Ukraine
At times like these, it is tempting to take the easy road as a platform and "remain neutral" or "not want to get into politics", but the truth of the matter is that this is not "just politics" and that what is happening right now is deeply affecting people in tragic ways, so I just want to be very clear in saying that we here at Zeldix stand with the people of Ukraine. We also stand with the people of Russia who oppose the senseless warpath that their leadership is driving down. With that in mind, do try to keep in mind that this is still a place primarily intended for discussion of video games....

Mario Paint instant save/load patch

Bigger SRAM, for not compressing it's data.
With twice the SRAM, data compression is not needed anymore. So Mario Paint saves and load instantly (the small ammount of lag after save/load is intentional).

SORRY I PUT IT IN WRONG CATEGORY, PLEASE FIX IT.

Change Starting Health

How to change the number of filled hearts at the start of the game
When you load up your save file, you will start with roughly half of your hearts. This is actually controlled by a table of sorts, which can easily be edited.

First off, there are 2 sections of the code that reference this table. They are at hex address x4F53E and x73CC3, and they are both identical.
Code:
AF 6C F3 7E ;LDA $7E/F36C (Load "a" with the player's Max Health) 4A ;LSR (Divide it by 2) 4A ;LSR (Divide it by 2 again) 4A ...

Title Skip

A tutorial on how to skip the title screen animation
There is a curious version difference in the US version of A Link to the Past. In the JP and EU versions, you can press a button any time after the "Nintendo Presents" screen and go to the file select screen. In the US version, you must watch the animation of the spinning triforce and the sword each time you start the game. The "Title Skip" patch removes this version difference.

To change this, navigate to hex address x64120. You will find the following code:
Code:
A5 11 ;LDA $11 (check RAM bit 11) C9 08 ;CMP #$08...

L/R Button item switch

Author: Kazuto
Patch:
Code:
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2879/

Note, this patch is not compatible with some other hacks, like e.g., 24 item menu by euclid (would need to be adjusted), all-in (L/R buttons are mapped for Super Bomb and other new items). Also be careful if you mix this patch with other patches you find on this site, since the free-space used may overlap.

Overworld lost woods

Author: Euclid
This assembly is a guide only - you need to cater it for your own hack in terms of the movement combinations/exit areas. The meat of the code is all the increment/decrement of ram addresses in the different cases where the same area needs to be loaded.

PW uses a similar but little bit more inefficient version of this - so don't be surprised if the code doesn't match PW exactly.
```
Code:
.zram counter ; stores the combination # the player is up to.
.equ/= areaup=area-7
.equ/= areadown=area+7
.equ/= arealeft=area-1
```

Author: Conn
Author: Conn

Information: The game will Switch to part 02 after your uncle left the house skipping the whole introduction sequence when you rescue Zelda.

Please note that we speak about Byte terminology (not HM terminology) - this means
- part 00: telepathic message, uncle leaving house
- part 01: uncle gave sword, able to save
- part 02: after Hyrule Castle, now searching Pendants
- part 03: after Aghanim, now searching crystals

Bushes not liftable before gloves
This code prevents bushes from being liftable before you have the gloves (but are still cut-able with the sword). This way you can block parts in the beginning part of your hack:

Code:
lorom org $07d42d JSL $A0A240 org $A0A240 CPY #$02 ; check if bush BNE end ; if not proceed to end LDA $1B ; check if indoors BNE end ; if not zero, then we are indoors -> proceed to end

Link's Awakening style key blocks

Author: XaserLE
This is for making small key blocks like they appear in Link's Awakening.

I will overwrite the prison door for that (like that one where zelda is behind).

You only need to change the prison door graphic to a key block.

The patch is "in place" so it doesn't overwrite other data or patches you added.

The blocks can be opened from up- or downside only, left and right will not work (will try to fix this in the future).

Room Counter Bugfix
Code:
;This is a "bugfix". In case there are in-room staircases, the game sometimes does strange things to the room counter. ;It is possible, that you have in-room staircases and ledges in a room. When using the staircase, all is fine, but when ;falling down the ledge, the games adds 16 (0x10) to your room counter. This will lead to serious bugs when going ;through a door since in this case the wrong neighbour room is loaded. ;WRITTEN: by XaserLE ;THANKS TO: -MathOnNapkins' Zelda Doc's ; -wiiqwertyuiop...

Dungeon map save fix
SePH found out that the latest Version of HM can edit dungeon maps. So no need anymore to renounce on these. However, there's a small bug in HM; Caves are saved with FE (but FF is needed to disable the dungeon map call in caves).

So here's a small asm to disable dungeon maps call in caves also after saving a cave in HM:

Code:
lorom org $0288ff ; hook jmp $22ee00 nop nop nop org $22ee00 ; new check lda $040c cmp #$FE ; check FE cave bne $04

Hacker's Cheat

Author: XaserLE
I wrote a little patch that is good for testing. When pressing the "L"-button you will gain a maximum inventory (all items, the highest possible) and 50 bombs, 50 arrows, some rupees (not much cause cpu is in 8 bit mode when calling the hack, but this can be changed if wanted by someone), all hearts, 1/4 magic and so on. It is commented so you can easily modify it.
