How productive were you?

The games been offline for quite some time now with many more hours to come, so I was wondering how productive you guys have been without maple. What have you accomplished? What did you do? Did you refresh the maple page for the past 12 hours hoping the maintenance would end early?

I found out FE:A's save compression/checksum today. It was a lot easier than I thought.

Global was a single compressed archive, the Chapter# files were some decompressed data which were followed by a compressed archive.
The compressed archive structure was like this:
4-byte magic value 0x434F4D50 ("COMP", or "PMOC&quot
4-byte "Compression Type" (was 02 for all Awakening saves I encountered.)
4-byte "Size of decompressed data"
4-byte checksum, where checksum was CRC32 of all concatenated decompressed data in the file (for Global it's CRC32 of the decompressed archive, for Chapter# it's CRC32 of the initial data + the decompressed archive.)
Compressed data, depending on compression type value.

Compression Type was always 02 for Awakening saves, which corresponds to 8-bit huffman compression.

Verified all of this by decompressing a save, editing a character's skills, then recompressing and repairing the checksum.

Thinking about developing a tool for myself to auto-decompress and recompress saves, so I can tinker with the game without having to create RAM codes all the time.

Moved onto ACNL in hopes of finding a way to change the town's region, since a buddy of mine wanted to change the sign for Nook's Homes to Japanese.
Just to see what would happen, I dumped the mori.bin from both my JP and NA copy of the game and injected them to the other (JP -> NA, NA -> JP.) To my surprise it changed the town's region, and also changed the exterior for the buildings on Main Street. Though, some bugs were present such as Able Sisters being located in the water, and Kick's being unable to be entered. In the end, it wasn't a 100% for me, but I did manage to find an estimation as to where the RAM offset for changing the town region is. Somewhere between 0x3F000 and 0x7E000.

Unproductive. I can only study and focus when I'm in the mood and undistracted by my surroundings e.g. I hate noisy environments.
