Investigating the effect of editing PBLA in subcode
By alphamone on Sunday, July 4, 2004 - 05:41 pm :
I got an idea after reading that someone was going to mess around with a part of the subcode to change the stats of the monster. I decided to try it myself after finding out that all non "/???" subcodes produce the same thing in both the PAL and NTSC version of the game. So I decided to do some investigating of my own. All I did was mess around with the PBLAs and a few of the Pframes of an arrowhead subcode (the one from this site) to see what would happen. The result was a very bad arrowhead. however, this has prompted me to investigate further. My next tries will have all the PBLAs at 0 and the other with all PBLAs at 999999. I would apprieciate other people to try this out and post their results as I currently do not have many writeable CDs left. this is the unedited subcode.
