Dunno if anyone'd be interested in this, but...apparently, someone's found the source to the SNES game B.O.B.

Well, well. What have we here? Is this a first? Maybe. Hopefully. So what is it? It's the source code to the Super Nintendo game Space Funky B.O.B.. from Electronic Arts / Gray Matter. This is an early game for the system, and you can really tell with the equipment and software used, more on this in a bit. I haven't tried to compile the game, I don't know if the compiler they used is included. The files included range from the original MIDI version of some songs, to RAW format graphics to various types of sources to some fun developers notes.


Link to the site here.

I saw this on Lost Levels a few days ago. A cool find indeed!

The ".A" files are actually plain text files, and contain the majority of the game's code. I dunno why they're not labeled ".ASM" like the README in BOBSNE4 suggests. (Happy funtime bonus: try searching for a certain four-letter obscenity in some of the source files!)

I wonder what's up with the CPBACKUP.001 file? It's the same size as a floppy, and the numbering indicates it might be part of a multi-part archive. Hmmmmmm.

I hit a snag while hacking this game's levels a while back. Maybe there's a "snag:" label in there somewhere for me to look at.

EDIT:
"Disk D & E/BOBSNE3/INITLEVE.A" has all the information I could ever want about level data. The snag, I believe, is in the section labeled mapvstart, which seems to correspond with the vertical position of the level in system memory. Not the actual level data, but where the "top" of the level is considered to be. While I was hacking, moving down the vertical starting position made it impossible to jump up above a certain point, which didn't seem to make much sense. Well, this seems to be the data specifying what's going on.

Other handy data such as map palettes, time limits, starting text, password prompt and other things are in here as well. In the next couple of weeks, I'll see if I can put some time back into this project and maybe get some work done on a level editor.

There is a readme in Disk D & E.7z\Disk D & E\BOBSNE4 that is VERY interesting. Has tons of stuff in it that's neat.

Some of the stuff...
------

Mike....sorry about the huge delay...CES demos and other crap have
really screwed us up.

Here is a rundown of what you have....

1. 3 disks (put them all in one folder and run the build
called "BOB"

------

Due to the lack of time, this version does not have level per level
music loads but only onces at the beginning.
The music is loaded and then the soundeffects:

------

Also (i guess it figures) all the sound effect calls have not been inserted
but only a bunch of Bob's and his weapons,remotes,explodes,etc....

If you look at SFXEQUATES.H you will will find a bunch of SFXNNNNNN equates.
The first bunch (SFXGUN,SFXUZI...etc) have all been called up to the
point where the files says "unimplemented files".

Some of the calls may not be done correctly (repeating flame,etc) but
hopefully there is enough to make bob sound like he is doing something.

By the time you get this....the bulk of the calls will be in place (yeah).

------

Since this is our first attempt at merging code, we might have mega
problems, so please call if anything looks screwy at all and we can
probably resolve it verbally or we can modem or fax you anything you
need.

Also, feel free to fix any bugs in our code.


Good Luck...ED from Gray Matter

Fax 416-842-5687

Post notes:

1. Man i hope the link works...if any files are missing or
any labels not there....try dummying them or call us
and we will help you fix it

2. You shoud probably have a "silent sound" to get rid of the
obnoxious sounds (ladder repeats, etc) or call and we
will help you call it correctly.

3. Feel free to insert any other calls (jump, vomit) and we
can help you in getting the point in the code to call it.


Time for a pint...
