They are also very good with pre-patched ROMs and ISOs. That was the way I could actually ge the Sakura Wars 1 Translation and several patched versions of NES ROMs, which are surprisingly delicate.
No. I was wondering if you have played or are going to play his games.

Anyone know of a good way to find the memory address for variables in an emulated game? I want to make a cheat that gives unlimited time in a really obscure DS game.

Really depends on the emulator. Desmume's cheat engine has some documentation here: https://wiki.desmume.org/index.php?title=Using_Cheats_in_DeSmuMe#Foreword
Time might be difficult to search for because often the displayed time and the internal time are rather different.
What emulator are you using? What game?

I'm using MelonDS. It's the only one I've been able to get to fully run it, since the game requires multiplayer download play. I doubt I'll have any luck finding exiting cheats, since it's Japanese-only and I didn't see any playthroughs of it on Youtube. It's probably the most obscure game I have in my collection.

I thought I heard they got funding to stay online? Did something change?

You heard wrong as far as I know. It was a done deal as soon as they announced it was closing and I don't think they were making any particular attempt to source funding to keep it going.
Edit to avoid being a doublepostnigger:
Right on time for Myrient itself to go down, Minerva Archive has started making the torrents of the site contents available.
https://minerva-archive.org/browse/
There is a little more info in their Discord but it's mostly just fluff and not worth posting here.

All the remaining and new donation they got within the last month is going to help cover the cost of hosting for their other project hShop which is a complete archive of the 3DS library and eShop contents (and more)

It was going down regardless, the last drop of their dono links was to try and recoup some of the out of pocket funds they had spent keeping the archive running over the last xyz months during the AI/bot scraping obliterating their bandwidth. There was never a scenario in which it stayed up no matter what, they made it very clear.

Quite possibly the most overrated game I have ever played. Ikaruga is awful.

It's a bad game. A really bad game! Dodonpachi is a good game. I don't play many shmups. RIP Myrient, good thing a buncha people archived it.

Why do you think Ikaruga is bad?

I have to assume you're not playing on a CRT.
And I generally agree on Ikaruga. It's a perfectly fine mid shmup.

I don’t know how that’s relevant in the slightest, but no, I wasn’t planning on playing on a CRT. If anything, I’d imagine playing on a CRT is even worse due to overscan potentially cutting off the borders.

Sir, don't be upset, I'm just doing my rounds and making sure no one is breaking any laws like using fan-fixes on a game they have never played while using a CRT. Sounds silly but that wouldn't be authentic...

Thank you officer, I’ll keep that in mind while scrolling through my EverDrive menu.
