good to see that you have that stuff back, as most of it looked really good.

Ah. Calcsys does have a SEARCH command, though ;D
I guess you could briefly post the method you used like you said in the Contra thread?


Yeah, but only for a single byte. I used Hex Fiend (on Mac) to search for the entire name of each project :)

No, I meant that in the console, if you type SEARCH followed by a hex string, it will search for those bytes in ROM. :D

Still have to add the actual info for recovering archived vars, though. Comments?
