I've got a kind of 'fun'(?) question that I thought would be good for crypto, but after checking the on-topic FAQ before posting, I'm certain it would fall foul of Can I get data analysed here? Specifically I'm trying to figure out how the 14-character alphanumeric passwords for Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap for the 8-bit Sega Master System translate into in-game stats. I've got a bunch of examples and breakdown, but I guess that doesn't make a difference?
^ I considered posting it on Puzzling, but despite no specific on-topic rules, that seems to be primary 'I have a fun puzzle that I already know the answer to'.
@otus It definitely wouldn't be useful - it was more interesting for the sake of itself. When I played it as a kid, I always thought it used some kind of RAM or lithium-ion battery for saving my game progress, but having found a Flash-based ROM emulator online, it's clear that the password functionality is more like "Yeah, your stats were something like this." - which made me interested in figuring it out.
@otus But thanks for the clarification - I may try it on Puzzling.
