Thus, the community doesn't know about such bugs until some newb comes onto the forum years later, wanting to use that very hack, only to discover that it crashes his emulator/real machine.Ģ) Most ASMers don't test on the real machine or PSP because the biggest audience for playing hacks from FFH is on emulators. Too often, they release hacks that have niche use. Many ASMers release their hacks with little or no testing. More tools would be nice, but without the manpower and organization to use them properly, we still won't get anywhere.ġ) We don't have enough people doing tests. Until we can verify that some of them cannot be resolved by known solutions, it's hard to even contemplate further unknowns that may mess up compatibility.
In short PGF, we're currently swamped by known problems with potentially known solutions that AREN'T being used. The link you posted comes in handy only if there exists a hackī) Fails to run on one or more of the given systems listed in I. I think we need a table listing the problems on every hack we have as well as regular reports from bug testers.
Right now, we only have data but no organization of the above. Out of the hacks listed in 1), which ones:ġ) Have not been corrected for load delay?Ģ) Have not been checked for overriding key registers?ģ) Have not been checked for improper logic (infinite loops, invalid calls/returns, incorrect math/variable usage, etc.)?Ĥ) Have not been checked for invalid offsets (invalid jumps/loads/stores)?ĥ) Have not been checked for improper ROM expansion? Which hacks in particular DO NOT work with: But I'm personally in the dark on all this.
