About py-HMDS

This project is a collection of programs to explore, document and learn absolutely everything about Harvest Moon: DS and Harvest Moon DS: Cute.

Goals of the project:

• Add memory management tools to the python and DeSmuME integration py-DeSmuME.
• Identify memory locations specific to the HMDS roms, and build tools to manipulate them.
• Document memory locations, memory structures, savefile structure, probabilities of various random events, etc.
• Identify bugs to exploit in speedruns and TASes of the game.
• And ultimately, gain arbitrary code execution.
