Mainly though, why do you say only bottles use pointers to slots. Why is that? I don't understand what the use of a bottle is that is would have that and not any other items... each bottle has it's own inventory slot it is defaulted to. Each one thusly has it's own location in memory where the bits are stored. What do they need a pointer for when it comes to bottles vs other items? Are you saying because you have the type "bottle" and it is written to 4 different slots (the same item) so when you write it it has a pointer designating where the bottle is to be written? But can't you just have it like any other item since you know only a bottle is in 56, 57, 58, and 59, that those are the places in memory and that the bit address stored there updates the value (which it does). IDK I am confused now over how I am understanding pointers and their purpose vs just looking at a value in a certain address and changing it (which was what I was doing before). I was just under the impression that whatever the hex value of 44 + the item's hex on c-right pointed to a location in memory and that the value in that location was what was put on B... so for the megaton hammer example you brought up... megaton hammer slot (defaulted) is 53 in memory, aka 8011A653 and putting a bottle in that slot makes the value at that address change from 11 to 14. Then when you put lens of truth on C-right it's hex is 0F. 0F+44 = 53. So it reads from the memory address 8011A653 whos stored value there is now 0014. so it writes 14 to B and you now have a bottle on B. I can't seem to comprehend what you mean by pointers because either I am just confusing it w/ something I already understand and just can't see it, or I do understand it, and it seems superfluous.
I got mupen, but I can't seem to get the file to open, I just keep getting this error message, like "not a valid win32 application". I got the rice plugin too, which didn't seem to work either.
Although the other route up to the winding path is more wasteful of explosives could it perhaps still be faster? All I need is 5 to hover in Snowhead Temple, which could be picked up inside (off the top of my head I could get some in the freezard room), but whether there is a net gain of time needs to be tested.
