Would it be possible for someone to please make a cheat for Disgaea 3 that disables the HQ system? The lack of a GPS on the PSTV makes the game practically unplayable.

I believe someone made an equivalent cheat for Rincheat and GoHANmem, but I don't believe those plugins are really supported anymore.

Courtesy of patbz on reddit:

Rincheat:
#Turn off HQ function
@0x81A7DC2A @0x00 @1

GoHANmem:
#Turn off HQ function
@0x81A7DC2A @1 @ 00

Had to look this up, that does sound bad. I doubt I could be much help since I'm still new at this and wouldn't know to make a code like that and plus I only have a 1000 model so I never really ran into that issue but I think I kept my vita from connecting online. I think the code would look something like this if converted right

Code:
_V0  Turn off HQ function *test*
$0000 81A7DC2A 00000000

Try testing it out and don't bother saving until you know for sure it works or save to a new file, never know if it could mess something up. Now there's multiple reasons why this code may not work(besides me converting it wrong:P). 1 being that the addresses change slightly in this game, so if it doesn't work then you may have to dig a little deeper. Its also going to depend on which version of vitacheats you're using and what firmware you're on.

Hi, thanks for giving it a shot, I really appreciate it.

I tested it out and I don't think it's working. I'm on 3.65 Enso using VitaCheat z05.

But again, thanks for the effort :)

That code looks like it would be inside seg1, so the value should always be in the same spot. We should be able to make a code that hits that, but Gohan/Rincheat move the RAM around a little differently than Vitacheat. If we had another code from Gohan/Rin that we also have on Vitacheat, we could just use some math to find the right address.

It seems like it'd be easier to make one from scratch. I looked up how that code was made

As those of us who have tried playing Disgaea 3 AoD on a PS TV will know, an error message saying "this feature cannot be used" will pop up at random interval making the game literally unplayable on a PS TV.

This is due to a feature in the game called HQ "honor quotient" which gets increased by using the GPS in the VITA to keep track of how far you have traveled.

Since the PSTV does not have a GPS, this causes the error message.

However this HQ function does not get turned on until after the tutorial stages are over and this provided a chance to see if there was a variable in the game that we could find to prevent the HQ function from turning on at all.

After comparing saves and memory dumps from before and after the tutorial when the HQ function is turned on, I have now found the address the game writes to in order to turn on the HQ function.

Add the below code to your favorite cheat plugin and it will disable the HQ function completely and no more error messages will occur again when playing the game on a PS TV.

Rincheat:

#Turn off HQ function
@0x81A7DC2A @0x00 @1

GoHANmem:

#Turn off HQ function
@0x81A7DC2A @1 @00

Several caveats:

  1. These offsets only work on the EU PCSB00098 version of the game, I do not know if they will work on any other regions.

  2. If you use the code during the first chapter of the game, every time you talk to Geoffrey he will display his "what is the honor quotient" dialogue and turn back on the HQ function again, either re-enable the code or freeze the value to keep the HQ function turned off.

  3. After chapter 1 is finished, it appears Geoffrey will no longer force the HQ function back on again when you speak to him so after you save your game from chapter 2 on-wards you should no longer need to keep the code activated.

  4. Needless to say this removes the HQ function from the game completely and I do not know if there are any unforeseen consequences further in the game since I am only at chapter 2 - but I think turning off HQ is a small price to pay to disable the error message pop-ups and being able to play on the PS TV.
The only reason so much time was spent personally looking into this was because I had brought a PS TV solely to play this game. Since the game is now several years old I doubt this will be of much interest to many people, but I am sharing this so that hopefully somebody will be able to find this useful someday.

So I may try this instead, I may have to remove my save for this though as I'm not sure the GPS thing is on even if I already have a save file(s) that made it past chapter 1.

Hello, anyone have a link to the latest db archive please ? thanks a lot
First post, dude...
VitaCheat is a plugin like GohanMem and rinCheat.

But works on NoNpDRM dump and also maidump.


Download link to the plugin: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2W8mjrCrdk3bDdEV1FJR1pIbmc/view?usp=sharing

Users manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2W8mjrCrdk3TW9hSUdZZm0tVzQ/view?usp=sharing

Might be too soon to tell but I may or may not have found some addresses relating to the GPS system for Disgaea 3. I renamed my old save file so I could start a fresh new game. It was after the 2nd tutorial mission is when talking to Geoffrey I would get the summery about the Honor Points and right after talking to him I would get the turning on the GPS notice. I made a save right before talking to him and made my dumps of before and after talking to him.

Looking at the Rincheat codes, the values sound like an on/off or yes/no code, where on=1 and off=0 so I looked for something in HxD that went from 00(before talking to Geo) to 01(after talking to Geo) and came up with a few.

Code:
_V0 Disable GPS *test 1*
$B200 00000001 00000000       
$0000 0000160C 00000000

_V0 Disable GPS *test 2*
$B200 00000001 00000000       
$0000 00001264 00000000

_V0 Disable GPS *test 3*
$B200 00000001 00000000       
$0000 00001250 00000000

_V0 Disable GPS *test 4*
$B200 00000001 00000000       
$0100 000015B0 00000000
The 4th one is a bit different than the others. I noticed for the "on" dump that several digits went from 00's to FF FF FF FF, so I don't know, it kind of seemed fishy to me. Only annoying part is I need someone with a PSTV to test them. I can still keep going, those 4 are just the 1st 4 I felt like searching.

On a side note, I like how vitacheat version z06 adds a text file with your dumps. That's what I get for not updating:D.

You're the real MVP for continuing to truck along!

I gave the codes a shot on my PSTV, enabled one at a time at first, and then tried different combinations, but no dice on my end.

With my extremely limited knowledge, the original reddit posts seems to suggest that the HQ function is indeed an "on/off" switch. It also suggests that one way to know if a code is working is to talk to Geoffrey in Chapter 1. If the code was successful in flipping the HQ function to "off", talking to Geoffrey will trigger him to give his spiel about the HQ system again and flip it back on (instead of asking the player where they would like to go).

Yeah I'll go all in probably tomorrow, and just make a long list of test codes. Gotta get some stuff sorted out first.

@Yohoki Hey, just letting you know, the Criminal Girls Invites Only cheats don't work, at least for me.. I have the NSFW mod applied. It always crashes and I have to restart my vita from safe mode, is there some specific way I need to follow for the cheats to work?

As far as I know they should just work. Only thing I can think of is plugins interfering, or using the wrong .psv file. This one here's the one you should be using: https://github.com/r0ah/vitacheat/blob/master/db/PCSE00516.psv-NSFW

You have to rename the file from "PCSE00516.psv-NSFW" to just "PCSE00516.psv"
