With reverse engineering (I assume the B-K decomp?) they figured out the RAM address that would enable the Stop n Swomp stuff via cart swapping. Not terribly exciting anymore because we long since got the cheato codes to activate them anyways and there's nothing anymore you can send them back to, but there it is

Sweet negative ram usage.

I have been doing some research on the inline keyword in C++, since my IDE (CLion) is... giving it a lot of preferential treatment.

From what I have read, correct me if I am wrong, it is primarily an optimization **when used on functions**. Forcing the compiler to insert the function contents directly wherever it's called when it assembles into opcode, removing the overhead of calling a subroutine, but potentially decreasing efficiency in other ways--low level CPU cache/branch predict stuff the compiler will probably decide for me anyway and that I don't have a great understanding of yet.

However, I cannot find a super clear answer on what cons this may have for *variables*.

Say I have a static variable in a namespace:

namespace stuff {
uint8_t x = 69;
}

What are some potential DRAWBACKS, if any, to making this inline? I can only find information on advantages, but that it should otherwise be left alone because the compiler will do it anyway if it's analysis deems necessary. The consensus seems to be "none" but I want to be sure because there is a lot of bad advice out there.

Thanks

found a bug that lets you skip an entire boss battle, thus preventing the game from being finished :)

thankfully it's not something that a regular player would be able to encounter because of another bug, which i also fixed. but you can very easily do that in debug mode and then you can't actually beat the game after that unless you modify your save file or open the engine and make an alternative way to get the key item.

Okay so I've tried about a million different things and everything either just A. goes super speed, B. Freezes after Tick #2 or C. Behaves exactly the same

I am 100% certain this should be working because it is exactly what I did with the FPS cap...

Somehow my timings are wrong...?
It's gotta be some kind of typo in my delta timer, I've checked everything else.

It is a good thing I have not started writing enemy AI yet or else the whole thing would have to be rebalanced.

gonna test out openmandriva on one of my shit laptops
