Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hello!

I'm new to rom hacking, but I'm interested in learning how to decompile a game. So of course I start with FFTA2!

I've read several tutorials on how the decomp process works, but a common thread in the tutorials is that if there is a group who already has information on the code of a game, it's worth while to check there before attempting to decompile a game all by yourself!

So I've checked the forum here, and I noted that there is some information in the stickied threads about the location of some in game data, but I haven't seen anything specifically about which overlays are responsible for which processes, or even anything about a GitHub for the assembly code.

Given the amount of work that has been done on this game, there MUST be some repository of this data, right?

Thanks!

Well sorry to disappoint you but there is no decomp nor disassembly for FFTA and FFTA2 unfortunately. All we have are the "Data Notes" excel files. That would be really good to have tho

That is sad to hear, but it's understandable.

I did do a little further digging and find that the user Lennart had some notes that possibly weren't included in the sticky thread...

The worst part is I don't even know when I'll get better. I sincerely apologize for starting something I can't finish. If anyone wants my notes or anything, they're right here.

Note that they are hardly reliable and mostly guesswork in the end.

I can't even get on the computer regularly so I'm just putting them here in case I disappear. Thank AugustDrake for reminding me about FFTA2 hacking at all.

Does anyone have a copy of whatever files were stored on the media fire link?

If the files you're looking for are the excel data sheets that alot of us here has used for finding the hexes to edit stuff and whatnot, I'm pretty sure it'd be these, anyone else needing these files can download them as well.

Wow! That's some good stuff there!

Thank you so much
