Hacking Donkey Kong Country Returns

[megazig]

Well he's living in the past, Gecko.NET is much better than WiiRd now

Gecko.NET has many issues and there's a few things that wiird does better.
though, both don't fit my needs which is why I've started making my own. I think you'll enjoy it a little more crediar

with regards to crediar, anyone saying hardmod for CC needs to think about his words a little harder. he's using wiird to find addresses and disassemble the code, so it's a softmod.

 

[DespizingU]

i simply don't understand why he wont share his trick with us...

I don't either. Instead of updating twitter that he has done it he should be sharing with the community how he has done it.

But then again, I don't know him(I believe this is the first thread I've ever seen his name mentioned) or the situation. There may simply be a few bugs that he's wanting to iron out before he shares. Who knows...

 

[KHSebastian]

If Crediar really does have it (and he seems to be a trustworthy icon, according to everyone), PLEASE share... I've been waiting like 10 years for a new DKC game, and I really want to use CC to play lol. Please make my 10-year-old self's dreams come true.

 

[jelbo]

I made a post about my hack at WiiRd I hope they can make a Gecko code out of it -> http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php/topic,7134.90.html

I just wanted to come and confirm that the code really does work, I've just got to test it.

actually it works extremely well. So just set back and wait untill crediar releases it.

what condition did you test it in...? did you use usbloader? while we wait for the CC perhaps we can clear up this version 1 & version 2 shenanigans...does anybody know what these version mean? I read something about backup vs. original copy? or is it about releases?

Hi guys.

as you might know I added classic controller support to DKCR.

It currently works via asm and is not using any geckoos codes but I thought maybe you can make some with my help, so the masses can enjoy playing it with the CC!

First of all two patches which allow the CC to be connected:

0x80389B90 = 0x38A00000;
0x8038710C = 0x28000009;

The tricky part is the button remapping, I've done this via hooking a function and then just used asm to do it.
Here are the important offsets:


0x805CBCE8 Holds the wiimote button status
0x805CBD48 Holds the CC button status
0x805CBE6E Set this to 0x12D or so to trigger the shake effect

(Player 2 should be at 0x805CBCE8 + 0x180)

I have never done anything with gecko codes so I thought I let the guys who know their way around them handle it.

well here you go:

seems like its just about ready. I will stay tuned...

 

[G0dLiKe]

looks like the 500 euros are due

 

[Heimdallr]

Awesome stuff, it works. Thanks for the hard work.

 

[turbotronic]

works fine

thx crediar

 

[killplaystation]

works fine

thx crediar

tell me more...

 

[killplaystation]

now that i have the B button hack in ocarina usb loader gx I feel like the game might be actually worth playing drunk

 

[Thomas83Lin]

I just wanted to come and confirm that the code really does work, I've just got to test it.

Well i guess you can test it now that it is out. Shenanigans.lol yea I don't know why there is two versions. you can tell by using Wiird and checking in mem address 0x80000007 00=version 1 01=version 2, but whats even stranger is they both got released almost the same time, actually it seems version 2 got released before version 1. Now thats strange. but more than likely they got released at the same time Its a legit different version. No word on the difference though. Just alittle something to leave you scratching your head at.

 

[mkoo]

I was disappointed when I had heard you need shake wiimote to do certain actions but I immediately adapted, when I actually played the game.

It is perfectly calibrated. It's not like Wario Shake Dimmension or NSMBW pick up move.

 

[isoku]

The CC codes work great! I wonder if a CC code for NSMB would be similar?

 

[SanGor]

sounds like someone owes crediar 500 bucks now

here is his donation link: http://crediar.no-ip.com/donate.php

there is also a code for v1 now: http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php?topic=7134.120

 

[TheAnswer1313]

If I'm running games off my external HD and I'm using Configurable USB Loader where would I enter these codes?

 

[misteromar]

Would someone be kind enough to put the files up for version 1 and 2 for download for people that dont know what to do?

 

[DespizingU]

Yeah, can someone please let us know that using Cfg how to get these codes to work on it. I've always just used cheats by downloading from Cfg.

Thanks for any help. And big thanks to crediar for releasing this.
