Coding for absolute beginners

My step by step notes I made a while ago I want to share with you:

Very helpful for beginner!

thanks Conn!

You're welcome, use as much of it as you like :)this tutorial is unfortunately for bszelda as example (hirom) but the principles are the same (only that you need to use lunaraddress much more often when hacking loroms).

I just saw that some parts are outdated like geiger removes automatically the header or you need zsnes savestates. I wrote this about 5 years ago...

Thanks this will be a MUST read.

Honestly, I have always wanted to get into ASM and real hacking.

All my work with Calatia is just designing with Hyrule Magic.

Unfortunately, Geiger won't run on my school computers, so I have to wait until I get home to actually try this, but I'll read these tuts in the meantime. Hopefully I can figure it out so I can get the rest of the enemy palette locations.

Could you post an updated document that applies to Zelda3?

Try the steps on bszelda, zelda3 isn't much different.

So with Zelda 3, I also need to make a zst file?

No that info is outdated,just use snes9x savestates

I read the document about tracing in Geiger and so far nothing is happening. I selected "CPU" and "trace once" and nothing was getting documented.
