It works fine in an emulator. If I turn the game into an EBOOT with PSX2PSP, the damage reduction goes from XA*0.75 to XA*0.33.

I was wondering if there is a quick fix for this (it's the only ASM that I've run into an issue with on an EBOOT so far), and if so, do I need to get my Raw out or can I just patch it on top?

Thanks. And if it helps, this is the ASM:
BATTLE_BIN, offset 11F378, 4B4D0508

LOOOOOOOOOOTS of ASM hacks bork with PSP/console because of poor practices. Like, too many to list. Like, an embarrassing number. Someone will likely notice and fix eventually, though, especially since you mentioned it.

According to Xifanie, that hack is written in such a way that makes 'wtf' a very appropriate response to looking at it. So yeah. It will be fixed, though.

I think it's the one that comes with FFTPatcher suite 482.

The only other one I've had an issue with is Equip Crossbow also equips Bow, but I haven't tried too many. Might have to go emulator. Unfortunate, I like my psp.

This should do, and should work on console/PSP

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

Bad Ass! I've been waiting for this since 1.3 was this site's premier patch.

This is an outdated version of the defend hack.  Please use the following.

      V1/W1/X1/Y1/Z1 correspond to status effects that multiply physical attacks by M1 / 128.
      V2/W2/X2/Y2/Z2 correspond to status effects that multiply physical attacks by M2 / 128. These stack with the M1 multiplier.
      V3/W3/X3/Y3/Z3 correspond to status effects that multiply magical attacks by M3 / 128.
        190% is M1/M2/M3 = F4
        183% is M1/M2/M3 = EB
        180% is M1/M2/M3 = E7
        175% is M1/M2/M3 = E0
        170% is M1/M2/M3 = DA
        166% is M1/M2/M3 = D6
        160% is M1/M2/M3 = CD
        150% is M1/M2/M3 = C0 (default)
        140% is M1/M2/M3 = B4
        133% is M1/M2/M3 = AB
        130% is M1/M2/M3 = A7
        125% is M1/M2/M3 = A0
        120% is M1/M2/M3 = 9A
        117% is M1/M2/M3 = 96

        10% is M1/M2/M3 = D
      To figure out the correct number for a V/W/X/Y/Z variable, add up the numbers corresponding to all the status effects for a given variable. If you didn't use any statii belonging to a certain variable, that variable has value 00.
      For example, if I want Chicken and Frog to take 1.5x physical damage, then W1 = 4 (Chicken) + 2 (Frog) = 06 and M1 = C0. Notice that I also could have used W2 and M2, but NOT BOTH W1/M1 AND W2/M2.
      For example, if I want Blind and Confuse to take 1.33x magical damage, then Z3 = 20 (Darkness) + 10 (Confusion) =  37 and M3 = AB.

The default values are V1/W1/X1/Y1/Z1/M1 are 10,0,0,8,0,C0, which means that charging and sleep on target cause 1.5x physical damage.
The default values are V2/W2/X2/Y2/Z2/M2 are 0,6,0,0,0,C0, which means that frog and chicken on target cause 1.5x physical damage, and it stacks on the above.
The default values are V3/W3/X3/Y3/Z3/M3 are 0,6,0,0,0,C0, which means that frog and chicken on target cause 1.5x magical damage.

If you want to add in defend gives 25% DMG reduction:
1) Get an unaltered ISO
2) Apply the above ASM, but merge V1-Z1 with V2-Z2.  Specifically, this means that V1/W1/X1/Y1/Z1/M1 are 10,6,0,8,0,C0, which means that charging, frog, chicken, and sleep on target cause 1.5x physical damage.
3) Change V2-Z2 to 0,0,0,2,0,60, which means defend on target causes 0.75x physical damage, stacking with the above.

NOTE: This has a limitation that you can no longer stack frog with sleep to get double the damage bonus.
The destruction of the will is the rape of the mind.
The dogmas of every era are nothing but the fantasies of those in power; their dreams are our waking nightmares.
