I did a thing! Hit me up if you’d like to join the standingintheodds.com club! Would love for it to be a common domain to find all your favorite shiny hunters
A year ago I arrived at San Antonio Regionals with my first ever, non-working, custom eReader card. I've since printed >2k working cards with >20 unique designs

Today, after many hurdles, I understand every single byte of the battle-e card program.

What a year! Hopefully the next one is crazier :)

This is a very cool discovery! e-Reader functions can have their parameters embedded directly in the game code. Which as far as I know, no one other than Nintendo has ever known.

It would have saved a chunk of space in my games, and it helps in further cracking how official cards were coded.
I made a pretty big breakthrough last night on the e-Reader API!

A function has been tripping me up for a couple months now. It looked like it took parameters but I could never find them! Turns out, like RST n, the params are in ROM

ERAPI-Z80 - E-Reader Development
This is the Z80 version of ERAPI. The GBA version is here. The currently undocumented opcodes are here. Many ERAPI functions use Fixed Point.

Tonight @fexcollects.standingintheodds.com and I explored the ereader some more. Along with using @timschuerewegen.bsky.social's doc, we were able to add and verify

- SetSoundTempo
- SquareRoot
- SetSpritePosAnimatedSpeedBlocking
- IsSpriteVisible
- FlashScreen

The e-Reader function, SetTextSize, is one I have avoided because it didn't always work correctly.

@fexcollects.standingintheodds.com cracked the code on it using Ghidra. We really need to crack the whole rom using Ghidra. Some day :)

I've started a beast of a blog post on e-reader card types. I am going to tackle it in chunks.

For starters: z80, native, nes and SMA4 e-reader cards

@fexcollects.standingintheodds.com found a new ERAPI function, SetTextSpacing. This allows increasing the spacing between characters, lines, or both, of a run of text.

Thanks Fex!
