I'm curious to know which games have config for them already?

@devinprater - I currently have a pretty good config for Street Fighter 4, a reasonable config for Mortal Kombat 9 and a proof-of-concept config for Killer Instinct (Windows Store version - 64-bit). I'll be trying to round off some additional features in the configs in the lead up to release.

@mojsior - I'm also interested in how it will work with card games. I'm confident it can, but as it hasn't been done yet this is all new territory. My hope is that people create and/or work on game configs together and share them, so I'm excited to find out what the community does with this new tool.

The software will be released on October the 31st and binary releases (i.e. a zip file you can extract and run) will be available from github. That link is not accessible at the moment because the github repository is private while I finish work on the software ready for initial release, but it'll work on release day and thereafter.

will this work on the gameboy emulater? I want to try it on pokemon.

Hm, I'm kind of curious as to how this tool is going to interact with the various anti-cheat software companies deploy. There's Blizzards Warden which actively scans memory for anything resembling cheat software, EA's PunkBuster, Steams VAC system, and Microsoft just recently announced their TruePlay anti-cheat system for their Universal Windows Platform.

On another note, I bet this could also work with other emulator platforms like DosBox or Amiga emulators, so there's that.

I wonder if you could use the pokemon crystal access to get the data you'd need for a gba emulator. I'd be absolutely interested in emulator support, for whatever emulators would work.  I actually just found out that a ps3 emulator is in development.  If emulator support could get working for the different emulators out their, that'd be absolutely awesome.  But I'm not sure how that'd all work. If this somehow got to work with hearthstone, I might lose my mind.  I'll be keeping an eye on this project, and when the github link is up, I'll clone it. But absolutely, we should get a community together to learn how configs are made and see what we can all do together.

Yeah hearthstone, yu-gi-oh. So many possibilities. I honestly can't wait for this and appreciate the hard work done more than I can say.

how would we do the trials? the one in bavell  sounds confusing and, i would like to try to get the secret items in the cloisters

That's such a good question, and it's one I've thought about.

The only honest answer I can give you is that I don't know. There's a brief section on this in the user guide FAQ, and there's a clause in the SoniFight license that says basically "you use this software at your own risk without any guarantee of fitness for purpose and everything's on you if you decide to run it".

Here are the two main issues involved:

1 - SoniFight never attaches a debugger to the game process. All it does is ask the process where it begins, and then offset from the start location via a series of hops to a known value of interest and peek at it.

2 - SoniFight never writes to a memory address, it merely reads from them. However, the SoniFight code could be modified to write to addresses, so let's assume that someone modifies the code to do that. That could mean that game developers decide that SoniFight is either malicious (which it isn't) or capable of being subverted to be maclicious (which it is, because the source code will be publically available). And that would be fully understandable.

So it's either going to be considered malicious or it's not - that doesn't really help us much as those were the two options we started with.

If the worst came to it, SoniFight would still be able to work with 95% of the modern games which will not be patched to look out for it, and it will also be able to provide sonification for older games, and hopefully emulated games in the future.

So overall, I think it's still a good thing and should be able to serve you well.

P.S. I've used SoniFight on Steam games during testing for the last two years (including when playing online), as well as with Killer Instinct (Windows Store version) recently with no issues whatsover. But - the simplest possible tamper-recognition approach would be to do something like store a bunch of versions of a value and update them separately per frame, and if there wasn't consensus amonst all values then the program could dump you back to the desktop.  That's the simplest possible scenario, there are no doubt countless others. The simple fact of the matter is that I don't know, and I cannot guarantee you won't be flagged for cheating if SoniFight itself gets flagged as cheat software.

@mojsiot - There's a written description of the pointer chain finding process in the user documentation which you can find here, and I'll be providing a video-walkthrough-slash-discussion of the process within the next few days.

Oh, I see how it is. This makes things a bit confusing. I'm pretty  happy that You're also going to  do a walkthrough on  the pointer chain finding process.
I'm pretty hyped up for this!
Hype hype hype

@ke7zum - My software wouldn't work on the xbox because I can't run the code on the xbox. The xbox accessibility people could make their own version of SoniFight (as it's free open-source software), or they could write their own version from scratch, but I'd be very surprised if they were willing to accept and digitally sign my version.

You never know if you don't ask though, so perhaps somewhere down the line something of this kind may be a possibility. If any console dev / accessibility types would like to chime in I'd be delighted to discuss further.
