How to know the winner of a match.
« on: November 28, 2012, 01:09:35 PM »
Hi, everyone.  :smilie:

I'm trying to find out how can I get/know the winner (player) of a match. This in the context of a fighting game. Is this game specific?

Thanks in advance!

There's no quick, easy way.  It's possible that a game may have a win counter in its ram.  Completely game-specific though.

yes, there's a win counter in the game ram (for CPS games at least, didn't try with NeoGeo).
you need a memory debugger like TSearch to look for values that change when the win counter changes.

you do this a couple of times and you close in on that variable, because you get less and less everytime.. until you know the ones left are not random occurances of changes after a match has been won.
