Highscore initializing not working right on NT Mini Noir
Stabyourself opened this issue · comments
When I load the patched rom (either with TAUS+highscore or just highscore alone) using the NT Mini Noir jailbreak 6.5, the highscores are initialized to the following:
The same rom correctly initializes to an empty state in BizHawk (using NesHawk).
The mod doesn't actually zero-out the save state; it utilized that emulators tend to start with zeroed-out sram. Do you know what save format the NT Mini Noir jailbreak uses? Maybe you can just share your save and I can try hacking it to see if I can initialize it.
we could perhaps set an additional SRAM byte to a magic number, and zero the data out if it isn't set, to circumvent the issue. should still fit in the defaultHighScores section
strange that the SRAM isnt zeroed by default though, probably worth looking into that further
Tetris (USA, TAUS).sav.zip
Here's a save from the system.
It's just FF's
Legend of Zelda, The (USA) (Rev A).sav.zip
Just for comparison sake, here's a save from zelda 1
@Stabyourself, try this one: Tetris (USA, TAUS).zeroed.sav.zip (renaming the file to the original name)
With just FFs means it is just a plain memory dump; no special headers. So I just replaced all the FFs with 00s.
Using that save, it started at 000000 for all the scores and I was able to set a score, reload the rom and have my highscore loaded.
Thanks!!
Here's the new save from the system in case you need it:

@kirjavascript, I reworked the save-highscores mod to detect uninitialized SRAM. The cold boot detection logic turned out to be a convenient and spacious place to put code, so I also restored the default high scores.
@Stabyourself, save-highscores-1.4.1-dev.zip should work for you as an alternative to manually pre-initializing SRAM, not that you need it at this point. However, this new version of the mod will reset your high scores if you use a save from the older mod.
