[HEX HACK] BLL OoA on Dolphin/console

The full video baybeeee
6 1/2 months later, here's an update about hacking boss parameters on console.
The "loader flags" I proposed in the first video are total bogus. All parameters are IEEE-754 floating point numbers (32-bit single precision floats). I have a suspicion that the ixx parameters are integers, but haven't done any testing.
Also, the reason editing the parameters wasn't working on console: though the x86 debugger reads from datadir\bosses\kumo\parms.bin, the final game actually reads from \datadir\archive\bosses.arc. I was told nobody knew how Pikmin 1's ARC files worked. I figured out a good portion of it in two days. Just goes to show how big the hacking community is for the first game of this franchise. T_T
Oh and if you want to learn about the ARC+DIR files in Pikmin 1 as well, I'm going to try and document what I've learned on PikminTKB.com. See you there!

So after all these years, the legend was but a myth? So interesting, but I can’t help feel disappointed. I want to thank you for your contributions to Pikmin hacking. You rock.

[@toasturhztoastbunz896]

Yeah. This glitch is nearly impossible to do in the actual game. As Beady is programmed to return to his original spot immediately after he has chased olimar too far from his base.

[@unmeltabledjdkrnrjdjsnd9317]

Imagine a hack of an invincible Beady slowly chasing you constantly in every map. That would be an interesting challenge

[@Minty_Meeo]

You are not the first to suggest something like that. Eventually I want to make a mini-hack with that concept.

[@mastermeeo8426]

I was always skeptical that the Beady Long Legs exiting the arena would crash the game. I mean, it would seem harder to code a crash than to not code one! Liked.

[@propaneinator64]

So cool to actually see this situation in a video after hearing all the myths

[@NickRickTheOnionling]

Would be so cool if that would actually have been possible in Pikmin 1. Atleast this feature is in Pikmin 3. But kinda disappointed they don't really chace you, they rather flee tbh.

[@jonaszprzybycien6545]

I wonder if BLL's legs could damage other objects than Pikmin and Olimar.

[@sithlordmikeyp]

What happens to the ship part on the radar? Does the Beady Long Legs come back the next day?

[@Minty_Meeo]

When Beady Long Legs falls into an abyss, he is forcibly removed from the object list. Not unlike dying, but it has key differences. Notably, the UFO Part that he is "carrying" never is generated from the death sequence. Not that it matters too much, as it would also get deleted by the void. The icon on the map is erased at this point.
With this, the game figures at the end of the day that Beady Long Legs has been killed by the player and does not add him to the list of GEN objects to regenerate the next day. Thus, the Guard Satellite is made irretrievable.

awesome! nice work.

[@Nic_2751]

Man this is surreal

[@NathouxKujo]

BUT WHERE IS THE FREAKING SHIP PARTS (P.S that means you can't complete the game theorically)
