FF9 Tools / [PSX] Tetra Masters RNG manipulation
« on: 2015-10-25 03:27:16 »
Hi everyone,

Always wanted to reach the max score in Tetra Masters, unable to get a specific set of arrows, or trying to get X cards directly ? This tool might help you !

RNG Masters displays the next cards you will obtain (including the ones given out by Doctor Tot in Disc 3), with their stats and arrows. It also displays the board on which you will play your next game of Tetra Masters, in case that helps.

Download RNG Masters 0.1 (Windows only atm)
Source code (saying I'm not the best programmer in the world is an understatement :roll: )
Coded in C++ with Qt.

There are two requirements to use this tool:
  • You didn't play a game of Tetra Master since you last powered on your console
  • Avoid Memoria on the World Map and the falls in front of Alexandria, it re-rolls the Tetra Masters PRNG
Simply enter how many cards you obtained since your last reset, and how many times you loaded the World Map, in order.
For example, if you bought two cards at Treno, went on the World Map, then re-entered Treno and bought four cards, you would enter 2 / 1 / 4, like this:

Now, if you talk to Doctor Tot with less than 5 cards in your inventory, he will give you the cards on the first row in "Tot cards". You can throw cards from your inventory, it doesn't re-roll the PRNG.
If you prefer the cards on the second row for example, simply find or buy a card before talking to Doctor Tot.

The column on the right lists the stats of the next card you'll buy / find / drop from a random encounter. Once again, if you prefer the cards in the next rows, find or buy one card per row.

The board on which you will play your next game of Tetra Masters is on the bottom left. As usual, if you prefer another one, buy or find a card to go from one board to another.

FAQ
Q. I really have to travel though the Memoria area, despite the fact it can re-roll the PRNG, thus thwarting the RNG manipulation. Is there a solution ?
A. Do not have Memoria in the line of sight of your ship in the red area on this map, even if you cannot see Memoria from where you are:


Q. I get a "Could not find or load the Qt platform plugin windows" error when I try to open this progam.
A. Please try this download. It has several dlls that should not be required in theory, but you might need these.

Q. What's next ?
A. Making a better GUI, adding global hotkeys, adding a frame counter to manipulate coin flip / cards played by opponent / evolution of own cards from PM to X or X to A.

/!\ I only tested this on PSXfin 1.13. I need people who can test this on real hardware to confirm it works there as well. /!\
