SNS on purpose?
I was wondering if Rare left what they did of Stop in Swop in because they purposely did instead of just scrapping it. I think it's kind-of weird that if they scrapped it that the still left the Ice Key and eggs, instead of having bits here and there. Because the actual process is gone, but the items still remain. This also made me wonder if the game needed the items for the game to work. I highly doubt it, but I was just wondering. State your opinion.

It was left in because it would take too long to delete it....

I was under the impression that S'n'S was cancelled after B-K was finished, but before B-T was released. Thus, the Eggs and Key were still in B-K.

Hey... what if it was just a way to get publicity for the sequel?
Highly improbable, considering the info we know, but still, interesting idea, methinks.

I think Avarice has the right reason. Plus thing is, it can be, though not always, be easier to just disable or hide stuff, right then remove it. I mean, first thing you have to remember, how many lines of code probably make up S&S. If you're not careful removing the code, you could cause problems. Because not only do you have to remove the code making up S&S, you got to alter any other lines of code that would have interacted with it, so they don't crash or glitch the game. I mean, MissingNo from the origional Red/Blue games is a example of what can happen if you're not carefull removing data.

That's the whole point of us still looking for SNS - It WAS dropped after BK's release, so BK's end of it must still be intact...

Actually, I might try to program it on reading the flags. But the thing is...
1)It has to be done on boot-up 2)I would need it to do something...yes, something... If it's on bootup then I'll probably have to use a dissassembler to do the job. |

Stop 'N' Swop was a clever marketing ploy established by Rare to really make Banjo-Tooie look a winner when compared to its predesceser. What Rare wasn't expecting though was the whole plan to melt like a wet piece of tissue paper. You see, in between the years of Banjo Tooie and Banjo Tooie, Gruntilda wasn't the only one to get crushed... Let me take you back, fellow Rare Witch Members, to a distant time, of 1999... The Banjo team sits eagerly, disapointed looks plastered on their young faces. Each employee tries desperatly to solve a problem that could take a lifetime... If only... "Eureka!" An employee shrieks. All of the others glance up, a glimmer of hope shines in their eyes. "We drop the connection!" He states winded, as though flooded with ideas. "Bullocks!" Another shouts, "We'd do that mate, but we've already promised them 'aven't we?" "No no no" The winded employee rebutals. "We keep the prizes, we just lose the connection!" The others stare on with little understanding. The winded employee sighs. "I know, I know, thats what Stop 'N' Swop is. The ability to have a connection between the two, but what if we were to...to just have the items in the second game!" "Ah, but you are forgetting," Pipes another employee. "We've already promised that they'd be able to go back and get the items..." The employee looks stern as the others nod in agreement. "Listen guys," The winded employee admits once more. "I would like to promise the sun and the moon too, but face it, it just isn't possible...We need to go from where we're at, and work up." The employees lower their heads. "I know it looks bad now guys," the employee states. "But, when we're done, they won't know the difference." "But the connection is the most important aspect of-" "Was, was the most important aspect, but its different now..." The employees look lost for words. "Trust me, no one will know. In fact years and years and years from now, no one will even care." The employees look desperate. "He's right..." sighs an employee. "He's right." "Right!" shouts the winded employee. "Let's get crackin'!" |

Hey Rune when you said Dissasembler, do you mean that you can convert the assembly language back into C++ to read and re-program?
