Document description

ROM hacking notes I made while examining Final Fantasy Adventure (Game Boy) and Seiken Densetsu (Game Boy). A lot of this data hasn't been documented before, including enemy stats, drops, data locations, control codes, Japanese and English text tables, and more.

This also includes C# code that I wrote to extract this data for my translation comparison project. This info could be used as a basis for hacks, re-translations, further documentation, uncovering unused content, etc. None of these notes are very organized, but hopefully they'll help someone somewhere someday.

Note that the bottom of "sd1 asm dump.txt" is where I jotted down most of my discovery notes.

Great Info	xenophile	2021-07-11	Version 1.0
Contains complete text dumps with pointers, text table including the two characters per byte codes, and a bit of info on the "control codes" for text display. All of this has been really useful to me. It also contains enemy stat tables, and musings on the code. These are interesting but were more than I what I needed. It does look like there is enough there to launch a "Final Fantasy Adventure Hard Mode" hack. I will say this is more of a snapshot of project notes than a concerted attempt to write a document, but it was still easy for me to find what I needed.
