Hello TASVideos, I go by ahuynh, or on some websites, BassOmegaX. I speedrun Devil May Cry 1 in real time, and I'm probably the only person who is interested in that game. Maybe I'll TAS it once PS2 emulation is good enough.
But what I'm more interested in is locating memory values within the RAM. I know that some people locate memory values within the RAM in order to find information to help optimize the game when TASing. I know for popular games, there is a list already made. However, I am interested in finding values for DMC, which I'm pretty sure no one has done. To be more specific, in DMC, the game is divided into missions, and each mission is given a ranking. I want to find out how damage taken affects the ranking to a very precise level(taking damage lowers ranking points but by how much). In DMC1, the game never explicitly tells you this information, unlike all of the later games. Due to a lack of understanding, some people have previously called DMC1's ranking system "glitched," but in reality there is nothing wrong with it, but in order for me to have found that out, I had to do lots of play testing on console. Is there a process, some kind of tutorial that would help me find what I am looking for?
