I have gathered some infos about background scrolling and would like to quick summarize it. Mostly I got it from here.

The purpose if this thread is to revive this useful information and share this information to someone who was interested in hex editing. I hope we can find more information in the future. Like how to make the background completely static and such.






This is all information I have got so far, in fact many of you already knows a lot more, so please share them too!

Sorry if this thread already exists somewhere else. Plus, I am not trying to claim that I discovered this, but what I am doing is to share it.

It's so nice to hear that you could find a way to make the background static vertically.

Posted by Sharks
This is achieved by putting a value of 40 for byte 13 and by putting a value of 10 for byte 16 (blocks 3 & 5).


Do you mean changing both byte 13 and 16 of both block 3 and 5?

I reckon I could have worded that better.

Backgrounds you want to Vfreeze (vertically freeze, its hypothetical horizontal counterpart being the Hfreeze) :
_bottom only => change both bytes 13 and 16 of block 3 only
_top only => change both bytes 13 and 16 of block 5 only
_both => change both bytes 13 and 16 of both blocks 3 and 5

Hope that it clears all matters.

There's one important thing missing from here, and I couldn't find it too. Is it possible to edit the automatic speed of the background (Like 4:Clouds for example)? Right now we have got data of editing scrolling speed, but not the automatic speed of the background. Technically it should be possible.

Thank in advance!

Awesome list. This can be really helpful for people who want to do it but I don't.

I would like to disable the auto scroll. Is there someone who knows where's the automatic speed of the background in the hex editor?
