Etrian Odyssey IV not really 3D? (3DS Game)

Fri Jun 14, 2013 7:03 AM

So, I've been hankering for more RPG action on the 3DS side.  I thought a 3D dungeon crawler would be perfect.. er, then I popped in this cartridge.

It's NOT 3D!!!  It's more like a 2D movie converted to 3D after the fact.  Everything is flat like a viewmaster slide.  What gives?    It's like the menus are one flat 3D layer and the maze (although rendered in 3D) is another flat layer just a bit deeper in.  Has anyone else noticed this?

missile1x free when using player1colors?

It looks like missile1x is free for re-use when using player1colors.  missile1y seems to be tied to the colors used to display the second sprite.

Has this already been discovered/noted?

Jaguar games with save RAM?

Thu May 16, 2013 12:13 PM

I could have sworn that a track in Club Drive changed permanently after I played the game for so long.  Is there a bit of save RAM in the cart?  In fact, in general are there any Jaguar games with save RAM?

2 Questions for ASM Literate Lads

Wed May 15, 2013 6:32 PM

1.  I heard putting the same values on the same line saves cycles.  Does it save ROM?
i.e. player0x = 33 : player0y = 33 : hp = 33

2. To be tidy I put a goto between sections of code EVEN IF THEY ARE CALLED sequentially near eachother.  Does this waste ROM?

i.e.

init_game
x = 3
y = 2
goto main_game

main_game
..blah
