tandy put their sound chip on the 1A interrupt?
-
they have invented a Pronoun Markup Language.
It's \x80 for He/She
It's \x81 for he/she
It's \x82 for his/herso a string will be "\x80 mentioned \x81 liked seafood and offered me a ride in \x82 motorcycle"
and it'll fill it out based on the pronouns of the suspect -
@punissuer exactly! it's all english's fault.

in trying to hack myself into the game, it glitched and said I had "Hobby: Male"
no... I haven't done that in ages!
-
I modified the game's NUM_GENDERS and found where it stores the database of criminals, so now you can find me if you search SEX=NB.
-
so in addition to the 5 listed attributes (and their name), the game tracks one hidden attribute:
food preference.
There are only two options:
00=Mexican
01=Seafoodwhat an odd binary

@foone still less weird than the gender binary

@ClarusPlusPlus "makes more sense than the gender binary" is a pretty low bar to clear
-
@foone but they have two bits to store it?
-
@aburka 16, in fact.
-
@foone But now you can't play the game anymore.
-
@AMS only if I give my full name. I can just go by "foone" and it won't notice
-
@foone clearly we need the compromise of octal. 315 061
-
@foone i wonder if this is why the tandy sound stuff wasn't well supported by other software... I remember having a Sound Blaster in my Tandy 1000TL because not that much would use the onboard
-
@ChartreuseK not even supported by this ghidra dialog. Binary or hex are the only options.
And note the weird part where it's "search by instruction pattern" but typing in instructions isn't possible.
You need the machine code for int 21h, not just "int 21h" -

I'm thinking I might do a "full"(ish) disassembly of this game. I've thought for a long while (basically ever since I knew Where In North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego? existed) that there should be an SDK for making your own version of this game, for whatever arbitrary geographical area you want.
-
and of course there's no reason you would have to limit yourself to reality.
You could always do, like, "Where in Middle Earth is Carmen Sandiego?" -
you go to Rivendell and talk to an Elf who says the perp was talking about how he wanted to collect "his precious"
-
I say "full" in quotes because I don't think I need to reverse the whole game to make it customizable, just enough to let you customize the locations, bad guys, hints, search types, etc.
