Read in game information from a pokemon ROM

[oonis]

Hi, sorry, I'm not sure if this is relevant or not for this forum, but I was wondering if there was a way to read in a ROM and then get the map data from it (possibly other information as well). Some kind of source code would be ideal.

Data is stored in narcs and overlays, there's a program out there called SDSME that can display the map data / movement permissions / whatever for you.

for b2w2, the maps are stored in

/a/0/0/8 - Maps

Might I ask, What are the overlays for?

game engine code and other non-resource related data

How exactly does that work? Is there a way to extend SDSME to game boy color games?

Probably not. That's quite the generational gap, so I wouldn't think the structures are similar at all.

If you programmed an extension

It would be easier to make a new program depending on the data structure.
