Hello hi! I didn't really see any CTR:NF gameplay mod threads so I'll probably use this one for all my current and/or future needs. It'll be nice to be able to blab in one place about new progress and post finished patches.
For some backstory, I had spent a lot of time with cheat engine and yuzu to make my own shitty version of the gdb stub back in 2019-2020. From there I was able to somehow follow the *extremely convoluted* patterns in this game's code and get a basic idea of how the game worked, then put together some fun cheat engine injection mods for temporary stuff since I knew that a bit better at the time. Now my goal is to patch the game's machine code directly, and I have finally learned how to do that today!
I just needed something verifiable to test it -- with this patch, when the game would otherwise try to process boosts, it will ignore them!
When I was testing, one of my friends was curious if you could make first the jump in Hyper Spaceway without turbo -- I'm not entirely sure, it might be possible if you get a speedghost glitch and extended it with the new glitch tech "polswid", but I'm not good enough for that...
However, if anyone wants to try, I can also keep the patch here (it goes in the game's load folder in yuzu, or you can use IPSwitch on the switch if you're familiar!)
Thanks for reading, hopefully more soon~
