When i try to use "Equip X Hack" from Razele,i got this error message from FFTorgASM.
What is this error about?Would it mess up the game?Should i ignore it?
Same goes for Pokeytax's "Inherent R/S/M Limitation Hack"
Ignore. The warning in this case is cuz:
lw r2,0x004a(r4)
nop
or r2,r2,r3
sw r2,0x004a(r4)
'lw' and 'sw' asm instrucctions load and save 32 bits in memory and if you start from 0000 then aligned address should be xxx0 - xxx4 - xxx8 - xxxc. The author of that hack put xxxa to modify two 32 bits aligned slots in memory with a single instruction (16 bit of one slot and 16 bit of another). It may not be the best practice, but it save code space.
UPDATE: didn't know that Glain, i guess i haven't play on my console for more than 18 years. But if Glain says so, then just don't use it if u are going for console.
I never bother to asm the 'event instruction upgrade' hack, but from what i recall it had some offset not aligned, so that hack won't work with consoles too?

Thanks,i'll ignore it and use the hack!
BTW I tried really hard to understand the "reason" part but failed :oops: I'm a complete idiot when it comes to assembly language :(
This will cause the game to crash on console. Some emulators may allow it. Use at your own risk.
EDIT - The hardware doesn't allow doing unaligned loads and stores using lw/lh/lhu and sw/sh. I wouldn't recommend using any hack that does it. Any emulator that does allow it is not emulating the hardware correctly.
Unaligned loads/stores of 4-byte values can be done with lwl/lwr/swl/swr but you need to use 2 instructions a shot.
EDIT - Event Instruction Upgrade v1.13 doesn't have unaligned loads/stores.
This one should be correct

Got it
