Arcana Treasure Reader
by Sarah Shinespark


Reads an Arcana (SNES) ROM and writes all of the treasure chest data to a file.
This is a command-line Windows utility.


Tutorial
========
Don't worry, if this is new to you I'll walk you through using it!

1. Move ArcanaTR.exe to the folder with your Arcana ROM.
2. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to that folder.
3. Click in the address field in the top center.
4. Replace the text there with "cmd" and press Enter.
 (This runs Command Prompt in the current folder)
5. To run, use the format
ArcanaTR.exe -i <"inputfile.smc"> -o <"output.txt">

So if your ROM is named Arcana (u).smc and you want to save to outfile.txt,
you would type ArcanaTR.exe -i "Arcana (u).smc" -o "outfile.txt"
(then press Enter)
That's it! Then you can close Command Prompt and read your new file.


Usage
=====
The coordinates refer to the current map, and compass direction refers to
the direction you have to face to see the chest.
(0, 0) is the top left of the map.
If you want to screw around with a RAM editor, 
$16F7 is your X position
$16F9 is your Y position
You could edit these to just teleport to the chests. You'll still have to
move or turn to update the display though.
