terminal7 several times at once
Take a .n64 rom and make several corrupted roms.
Launch them all at once and cascade the windows evenly out
Makes finding interesting byte regions inside rom easier.
(moving/cascading mupen64plus across screen does not seem to require the patched mupen version that accepts a --position x,y parameter after all; there is an environment-variable SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS=x,y that works the same way in the upstream version of mupen64plus-ui-console)
Despite the output directory being named ramdisk, it does not really have to
be one, but just for clarity for my own sake.
given a rom it creates corruptions based on settings in multicorrupt.py
afterwards opens all of them in individual mupen64plus instances
the mupen windows are moved to be evenly spaced on desktop
python3 multicorrupt.py original_roms/PS.n64
relevant settings in multicorrupt.py:
- mupen_instances is number of corruptions to make and open (4-20~ suggested)
- instance_res is size of one mupen_window
- screen_res is size of actual screen
- savespace is a width and a height at the right and bottom of screen to not place mupen instances in
inside init of the Corruption class in multicorrupt.py:
- make as many calls to self.mutate(mutation_count, start_percentage, step_percentage) as desired
- mutation_count is number of individual changes per corrupted rom
- start_percentage [0,100) is which percentage of bytes in rom to seek to before selecting bytes to corrupt
- stop_percentage = start_percentage + step_percentage
Debugging a corrupted rom to find which change (maybe) made something happen
- given original uncorrupted rom; changefile from a corrupted rom; number N
- creates N new corruptions by dividing the changes in the changefile into N groups
python3 debug_changes.py original_roms/PS.n64 output_roms/ramdisk/PS_corrupted_19.n64.changes 28- these debug corruptions are placed in output_roms/ramdisk/DEBUG/
script files most likely will not work on most systems without larger changes
and even if they work they are unstable so yeah
