Topics I've Started

Why no random banner messages?

29 August 2010 - 11:32 AM

Pointless topic I know but liek a few weeks ago for only a week or 2 there were random banner messages every day and now they don't seem to change anymore. Why were they added and then removed? I liked the random messages.

I remember seeing:

TempAR

24 July 2010 - 06:58 AM

Introduction

The reason for this NitePR/MKULTRA mod is because I wanted a way to test PSPAR codes on CFW, for me it was easier just to implement the PSPAR code types into an existing cheat device rather then try and patch the PSPAR EBOOT to run on CFW so that is exactly what I have done.

Unlike the official PSPAR cheat device a more simple code file format is utilized for loading codes, the format is much like the CWCheat cheat database format but instead of code lines being preceeded with "_L " they are preceeded with "_M ".

I also got bored and decided to implement the CWCheat code types so hopefully most CWCheat codes should work with this cheat device.

Usage

Installation Instructions

Copy the seplugins folder to your Memory Stick (if not copying over game.txt and pops.txt be sure to manually add those lines to the files on the MS).

In-Game Controls

Show cheat menu: Press home twice followed by VOLUP+VOLDOWN).
Enable Cheat Engine: Press Note.
Screenshot: Press SELECT+VOLDOWN.

Changes

CODE

Changes in v1.5 (September 25, 2010)
  [+] PSPAR folders can now be collapsed and expanded, use the 0xCF code type to
      specify a folder or comment.
  [+] Folder and comment colors are now user customizable in the color files.
  [!] If the Game ID can't be retrieved normally TempAR will attempt to read the
      Game ID from disc0:/UMD_DATA.BIN (for PSP games), or a section of memory
      (for POPS games).
  [!] Minor bug fixes and changes.

Changes in v1.4 (August 27, 2010)
  [+] Added support for the qqq part of CWCheat pointer codes for multi-write and
      copy byte pointer codes, thanks to HARO for the information.
  [+] If cheats are available for the loaded game the game name can be shown by
      pressing VOLDOWN at the cheat selection screen.
  [!] PSPAR Loop codes which don't have a terminator line at the end should now work
      correctly.
  [?] Rewrote the cheat database loading code. Now cheat files are loaded 2-3 times
      faster then before. 
  [?] Rewrote the PC converter tool.
  [?] Other minor additions, changes and fixed.

Changes in v1.3 (August 8, 2010)
  [+] Added support for the 0xC6 PSPAR code type. This will fix problems with the
      "generic" codes in the official PSPAR cheat database not working.
  [+] Added support for the 0x0C CWCheat code type. This should make the Yu-Gi-Oh
      CWCheat codes work in the same way as they do with CWCheat.
  [+] Added support for loading the same codes for multiple Game IDs to reduce the
      database size where different regions can use the same codes. To do this simply
      place all "_S" lines after each other with no codes in-between.
  [+] Added support for Japanese characters to the font so now the cheats in the
      official PSPAR cheat DB should be shown correctly for Japanese games.
  [+] Added new line type "_N". These lines are executed with an enhanced version
      of the PSPAR cheat engine. The reason for not merging the enhanced PSPAR
      engine with the main PSPAR engine is to maintain the best possible
      compatibility with the official PSPAR for testing purposes, whilst also
      offering additional functionality.
  [+] Added support for extra data register operations using the 0xD4 code type
      to the enhanced PSPAR engine.
  [+] Added support for address+offset if conditionals to the enhanced PSPAR
      engine. If the lowest bit of the address is set the value at address+offset
      is used in the conditional.
  [!] The PSPAR cheat engine execution status is now cleared at the end of each loop.
  [!] Fixed a bug in the CWCheat cheat engine where the second character in the
      address part of the code was accidentally removed when it was applied by
      the cheat engine.
  [!] Fixed bugs with the 0x06 multi-write code type.
  [!] Hopefully fixed the unknown search bug which was in the original source. It was
      partially fixed in 1.2 but it is so long and complex I couldn't work out how to
      fix it properly. Hopefully it should be working properly now.
  [?] Please refer to "docs\readme.html" for information relating to the newly added
      code types.

Changes in v1.2 (August 3, 2010)
  [+] Upper bits of fake addresses can now be retrieved. eg. Use 0x0A000002 to
      read the kernel mode buttons using the 16-bit PSPAR code types.
  [+] Added an option to hijack the PSPAR button codes. This option if enabled
      will change PSPAR codes with code types 0x09 and 0x0A and an address of
      0x09F00000 or higher to be treated as a button joker code. This makes
      codes such as the GTA: VCS moonjump code work without altering the code.
  [+] Menu key, trigger key and screenshot key can now be configured under PRX.
  [+] The POPS version now uses a different config file to the PSP version.
  [+] Added PC CWCheatPOPS to PSPAR code converter.
  [!] Fixed problem copying address from codelist to the Browser/Decoder.
  [!] Button press prompt is no longer displayed on load. This should fix
      display problems with PSP Filer and probably some other homebrew/games.
  [!] Fixed the 0x08 CWCheat code type.
  [!] Codes which attempt to write a 16-bit value to 8-bit address or a 32-bit
      value to 8/16-bit address will no longer crash the PSP.
  [!] MAC address patch is off by default to fix networking problems while plugin
      is enabled. User must remove config.bin for this change to take effect.

Changes in v1.1 (July 29, 2010)
  [+] Added POPS and homebrew support, thanks to Davee for information on getting
      the Game ID without the need for the daunting task of parsing the PARAM.SFO.
      Please note that homebrew PARAM.SFO files need to be patched so the Game ID
      isn't the same for all homebrew. Also keep in mind that CWCheat POPS files
      are not compatible. The codes need to be in either PSPAR or CWCheat PSP
      format.
  [+] Settings can now be saved so there is no time to re-configure on each load!
  [+] Added support for loading from different cheat.db files.
  [+] Added PC NitePR to PSPAR code converter.
  [+] Added comment mode paramater to the PSPAR bin converter. Use 0 to prepend
      all comments with a # or 1 to prepend folders with _C1 and comments with
      _C2.
  [+] Codes which have no code lines are highlighted and have no Y/N before their
      name. This is to allow for in-game comments.
  [!] Fixed problem loading the colours from a file.
  [!] Fixed screenshot option, forgot to set the option in the makefile, whoops.
  [!] Fixed the 0xD1 PSPAR code type.
  [?] Offset is only added to PSPAR conditional codes if the address used is 0.
  [?] Added an aditional check to CWCheat pointer codes to help prevent a crash
      with bad codes and uninitialized pointers.
  [?] Cheat device is now known as "TempAR". "Temp" because GBAtemp is my online
      home and "AR" because it supports "AR" codes. To further expand on this the
      Temp is what CW is to CWCheat and AR I guess is what PR is to NitePR.
      Plus it can be pronounced temper woot! (thanks to xist for the suggestion).

Changes in v1 (July 24, 2010)
  [+] Added support for a _C2 code name line. _C2 codes are active irrespective
      of the cheat engine status.
  [+] Can now insert a new CWCheat code from menu under PRX by pressing SQUARE.
  [+] Added support for the remaining CWCheat pointer code types.
  [!] Fixed the 0x0E PSPAR code type.
  [!] Various bug fixes.

Changes in Beta 2.1 (July 22, 2010)
  [!] Fixed issue loading codes when end of read buffer is reached.
  [+] Added support for single pointer CWCheat code type.

Changes in Beta 2 (July 21, 2010)
  [+] Added tool to convert the PSPAR.com pspar_codes1.bin file to a
      format compatible with this cheat device.
  [+] Implemented some CWCheat code types (very untested).
  [+] Codes are loaded from a single cheat.db file.
  [!] Problem loading and storing 8/16-bit values.

Changes in Beta 1 (July 18, 2010)
  [+] Added PSPAR Code Type Support (note: May Have Some Buggy Code Types).
  [-] Removed NitePR Code Type Support.
  [-] Removed the SOCOM stuff.
  [-] Removed the off value function.
  [?] Cheat Hz changed from 0 to 15 by default.
  [?] Real address mode active by default for browser and decoder.
  [?] Real addresses should be used for codes as PSPAR uses real addresses.

Key
  [+] New/Improved Feature
  [-] Removed Feature
  [!] Fixed Bug
  [?] Other Stuff

What will be in the next version?

What will be in the next version?

Important: Please report any problems or non-working codes so I can look at them and try and figure out why they aren't working (please test the codes on another cheat device first however to ensure it is not the code that is actually broken). Also keep in mind that patches like the m33_620, Prometheus CFW and patched games cause shit with memory shifting around so that could also be the problem.

Good 2TB External HD?

23 May 2010 - 11:30 AM

My 500GB external HD and 400GB internal HD are full.

So I need to buy a new hard drive so I can basically empty those other 2 hard drives.

I would like to hear some personal opinions of a good 2TB external hard drive for me (from people who actually own them). I don't want to purchase some POS which breaks down straight away and causes me to lose all my data.

My current 500GB external HD is pretty much like this and constantly disconnects from the computer causing in corruption of files and the like, it is USB powered and every computer I have found doesn't provide enough power to keep it alive and with some computers it even causes BSODs.

My budget is around ~$250AUD

and I would prefer to purchase from an actual store.

Currently I am considering the following:

WD Elements 2TB Desktop Hard Drive - $199
Seagate Expansion 2TB Desktop Hard Drive - $248
WD MY Book Essential 2TB Desktop Hard Drive - $249

Do any of those possible purchases look like bad choices? At the moment I'm swaying towards the last item in the list because it looks like it would be more reliable then the other 2 but if anyone else can recommend me an alternative 2TB external HD around the same price that they have been using for a while that would be great.

Supercard DSTWO: GBA Emulator Details

15 May 2010 - 03:13 PM

Emulator Details and Functionality

The iPlayer GBA emulator was ported by DarkChen (possibly the Supercard team) from gPSP, a PSP GBA emulator coded by eXophase. The emulator was the first non-Slot2 option for running GBA games on the NDS console and made use of the extra hardware in the iPlayer cartridge. The port contains much of the same functionality as the original PSP version including:

Fast Forward
Frame Skip
Save States
GameShark/Pro Action Replay Cheat Engine (basic)
Screenshot Function
Key Remapping

Emulator Compatibility List

I have briefly test ROMs 0001-400 with as well as a few other random games with version 1.13 of the SCDS2 GBA emulator. Results can be viewed here and will be updated when I have time to test others. All ROMs were tested with the default emulator settings and sound off style_emoticons/default/frown.gif.

How many real UMDs do you own?

29 January 2010 - 02:08 AM

Like the DS poll but for the PSP...

Although I said real UMDs, I would count legitimate DLC games as real UMDs because you are still showing support for the gaming industry (and obviously PSP Go! can't use UMDs).

Warning! Spoiler inside.

So what do other members of GBAtemp own and can anyone beat my list?
