Thank you to:
Zephiles for their numerous code contributions. These include:
- The initial TTYD-Practice-Codes framework of which this mod is based on
- The current REL loader Gecko code
- A custom heap implementation for the mod
- A revised REL loader which serves as both a Gecko and ISO loader (not yet included)
- A Super Monkey Ball 1 port of the REL loader (not yet included)
PistonMiner for their ttyd-tools framework, which provides everything you need to turn C++ into a .GCI savefile which can be loaded into a Gamecube game at runtime. In addition, thanks very much for the detailed answers to my romhacking-related questions.
CraftedCart for their substantial contributions to the Monkey Ball 2 decompile project, as well as the many large contributions to the Monkey Ball hacking and custom level scene on the whole.
Yoshimaster96 for labelling hundreds of functions and data in Super Monkey Ball 1, many of which were ported to Super Monkey Ball 2.
TheBombSquad for their decompile contributions as well, and for writing the current version of the ISO REL loader.
Alist and PetresInc for providing insightful feedback on a pre-release alpha needed before publishing an initial beta version of the mod.
The Monkey Ball Speedrunning Scene for inspiring this mod! Thank you for being so fun to be a part of.
