While I do not feel that I need to do much of a program revolving this game (because between The Admiral's FAQ on gamefaqs.com, and the .zip archive posted by Alchemic over at RHDN (http://www.romhacking.net) [link to his .zip archive: http://pkhack.fobby.net/misc/shadowrun_20090320.zip]). However, I will make one if I can figure out what to do or what needs to be done...
But, there seems to be some discrepancy outside of that of where Shadowrunner data is held in the ROM file. For example, Dragoon ZER0 had Frogtongue listed as:
Frogtongue
----------
194C - armor name
194D
194E - defense
194F - weapon name
1950
1951 - shot type
1952 - power
1953 - accuracy
However, a search for his gear in the "Shadowrun (U) [!].smc", will return a different result. Searching for the hex string (B11803EC0B000602) which is Frogtongue's info (well, part of it anyway, not his actual stats though), that leads to finding Frogtongue's info is at:
Armor Name: 174C-174D
Defense: 174E
Weapon Name: 174F-1750
Shot Type: 1751
Power: 1752
Accuracy: 1753
So, depending on what ROM you have (chop shop, morgue, etc.), your data may have different offsets. So beware when tinkering with it if your numbers aren't adding up, or you think things aren't where they ought to be.
For those of you wondering, let me break down (B11803EC0B000602) [thanks to Dragoon ZER0 for supplying the conversions of the items in a thread over on gamefaqs.com, and to The Admiral for giving me something to compare it against]:
Armor Name: B1 18 (Bulletproof Vest)
Defense: 03 (Defense of 3)
Weapon Name: EC 0B (HK 227 Assault Rifle)
Shot Type: 00 (Shot Sound is "Heavy")
Power: 06 (Attack Power of 6)
Accuracy: 02 (Shooting Accuracy of 2)
