Quote from: elmer on 09/16/2015, 04:58 PMI looked on RomHacking, and someone there was asking about hacking one of Falcom's PSP games, and it still seemed to be using the FALCOM2 compression scheme.I guess I did that. It's like halfway between a straight copy of the MIPS code and a functional copy of the algorithm. I'm not smart enough to do anything more. I worked on Nayuta which used a little more complicated version of what you're calling FALCOM2. Trails in the Sky 3 PC was using straight FALCOM2.
I don't claim to be a good programmer. I can only do simple stuff. I like Python and can't understand C code. It has all those brackets {} and things. Also you have to understand C builtin functions and I'm not sure I do. I get that Python is slow. Unless you're doing a decryption algorithm though, it doesn't have to be fast, at least for Romhacking work.
Beginning, middle and end: My programs tend to follow: input, data processing, output. Is that what's meant?
