idk what you're using to emulate, but in mesen2 there's a tilemap viewer portraits are on the BG1 layer and you can see the memory mappings for tiles

thanks. that'll help a bit

Get in the inbox, shinji

Oh man! So excited to see you working on this one!

YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD, YOU CAN'T ME WHAT TO DO

I don't know what the fuck happened with that crop

I accidentally merged Gendo and Fuyutsuki

This is just part of instrumentality. Nothing concerning or strange at all.

3rd Impact (to the game cart)

I've figured out some parts of how the dialogue system works but not yet how to get out the other portraits

The best part about death generator is actually watching you slowly pull apart a games text boxes and rebuilding them peice by peice

might have figured out a way. 50/50% it works or I crash the emulator

Kinda worked! I loaded a different portal, it just didn't 100% load correctly. I think there's a separate pattern index or something...

portrait, not portal. that's a different game, and I haven't added either of them to the death generator

maybe I should try breaking the game and see what changes

oh hey I know where the first shown portrait is stored, and I can search the ROM for additional portraits easily now. I just need to modify the ROM to shove every other portrait into the first portrait shown, then run the game until it shows that portrait for me, then screenshot

finding additional portraits may be trickier than I thought

I needed a fake Portal 2 screenshot for a gag a while back, but it’s just as easy to put in bogus subtitles with your favorite photo editor
