Descrizione Skies of Arcadia Legends - Hold B to skip encounters

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

Skies of Arcadia Legends
Hold B to skip encounters

Description:
This is a no-frills hack that simply allows you to press the B button while traveling in encounter areas to avoid dealing with random fights. There is no menu hacking or other signals. Just hold B while walking, and if the player would like to have encounters, stop holding B and the regular encounter system will resume. 

Patching:
Use a xdelta patcher to apply `patch.xdelta` directly to an uncompressed ISO of Skies of Arcadia Legends (US), filesize 1,459,978,240 bytes. 

Usage:
When in game, when either walking around in areas with random encounters or when flying on the world map in areas with random encounters, hold B to reset the step threshold back to zero.

Technical:
$80346D2A holds 2 bytes of step counter information, which slowly accumulates while walking around until it randomly hits a breaking point and a fight is triggered. Keeping the value at 0x0001 ensures no encounters occur. 

$800C1FC8 is where the game increments the step counter. This function was hooked into and modified to accomodate the hack, however free space was an issue.

An inefficient function at $80305a5c was identified, and was optimized via a loop to carve out free space for the custom function above.
