How to use the fmscrambler

After you have downloaded the current release from the GitHub Release section and extracted it's contents you will find an executable named FMScrambler.exe you need to run.

fmscrambler start

You will be greeted with the interface of the randomizer, like this.

  • (1) Use the automatic extraction from an BIN/CUE image of the game via the LOAD GAME (.CUE/.BIN) button - (!) RECOMMENDED
  • (1) You can also load the SLUS_014.11 and WA_MRG.MRG from an already unpacked image file of the game with the LOAD SLUS/MRG button
  • (2) On the SEED OPTIONS you can enter your own numerical seed or use the GENERATE RANDOM button to generate a random seed.
  • (3.1) Before you proceed further you might want to adjust the various randomization options via the Randomizer tab (See Image 2 for info)
  • (3.2) After setting your preferred randomization options, go ahead and click the RANDOMIZE! button - It will take a short moment and notifies you after it's done
  • (4) You are now ready to create a modified game image with the randomizations in place by clicking the PATCH ISO button - It will again show you a notice once it's done and automatically open a file explorer window where the patched game image is located

Some notes after randomization

The randomized version of the game image will be called something like FM_Randomizer_11-Dec-18_21-15-51 and consists of a .BIN and .CUE file. You want to load the .CUE file in your emulator of choice. You will also find a file named like scramblelog_#3947579.log which is a detailed log on what got randomized in which way. There will also be a folder named like FM_Randomizer_11-Dec-18_21-15-51 which is created during the randomization. You can safely delete this folder and it's contents. In future versions of the randomizer this directory will get deleted automatically.
