   huh. The makers of the DS port of Power Rangers: Super Legends - 15th Anniversary (from 2007) has an excel file left on the ROM

     it looks like they used a script to generate some enum/include files from CSV files, but they accidentally left one as excel

     @emily it's from 2007! Office 2007 had just barely come out, so they use plan XLS

     arg. This company went under in 2009, so their official website in the internet archive is ALL FLASH

     and now I'm being forced to learn things about ARM assembly.

     I am not being paid enough for this.
     what the fuck is cpsr & 0x80 ?

     wait they built the Cory in the House DS game on a Power Rangers engine?!

     I'm trying the old VN trick where you rename files around, right? There's a leftover debug model viewer in this engine, supposedly.

     But here's the problem: The filename for level 1 is 2 bytes too short to let me overwrite it with the filename for the model viewer.
     so I gotta get to "day 2" in the Cory in the House DS game.

     the longplay is 5 hours long and I need to play about 1/5th through the game

     every time I enter a new level I have to go see if the filename will be long enough to let me paste in "maps/levels/Art_Test_Bed/Model_viewer.mapdef"

     but NOPE!

     good news: I was successful and got into the model viewer.

     bad news: I'm loaded in frozen and can't do anything with it

     @raptor85 good idea, I probably could have done that.

     @foone I assume these files are compressed in a package? could you just null out the last two characters in the filename with a hex editor in whatever it's using to lookup then use the shortened name in-engine to open the path?

     I probably need to load it in a different context. probably having it be the first level loaded when you start the game is leaving me in a stuck state because it expects dialogue to play
