ROM Hack DS Auto Trainer Maker (DSATM)

[Shuny]

I've tried a arm9.bin file I found somewhere on this forum. Results : WSOD

*looks at his DS-Xtreme* Is it fixable, doctor ? :'(

 

[Tempus35]

I would help you but sadly I don't own any cards besides the older m3 adapter. Which has issues of late without updates coming.

Ah so it has problems just by itself. Thought it was related to patching... You could try the new arm7 fix. Just remember to arm7 fix it first or the trainer won't work of course.

No, it does work without patching ( err, in fact, it doesn't because it asks me for a guitar grip I don't have, that's why I'm using cheats, to play with my buttons instead of the Guitar Grip ) but when I try to patch, then, WSOD

 

[cracker]

Do you still have to patch the games for DS-X still or do they load all games 'pure' now? If it is the latter then there probably isn't much that could be done about it unfortunately. :/

Hello,

I wanted to play Guitar Hero : On tour using a cheat to disable the Guitar Hero Grip and to enable controls without this add on.

Unfortunately, the game doesn't boot : White screens of death. Here is the cheat list :

Any ideas on how to solve that ?

Thank you

just one thing i need to ask, are u using 1 whole code or 3 seperate codes? if its just one code, remove the empty lines seperating them, if its just 3 seperate codes, what are those other codes you're using? And if its multiple codes add a description for each and add and empty line between the description and the code above it, unless it is the first one.

DS-X doesn't need any forms of patching, it loads clean roms

Well, I keep trying to patch ACWW with this but it never works. It always says "There were assembly code errors."

Is this an okay format for a file?

You need arm-eabi-as.exe and ndstool.exe in the same directory.

I keep forgetting to add an error message if they are missing.

$999999
02FE3298 000F423F

is definitely a bad code. 0x2FE3298 is WAY outside the RAM range of the DS (0x2000000-0x23fffff). I'm guessing the reference to ideas means that it is an emulator offset. The second code looks like a proper code.

Where did you get the codes from and what happens when you try to patch the game? I tried viewing the picture but I got an error message which I assume is saying that the file couldn't be found.

 

[AMWDP]

I am sorry.. I CODE wrongly write.. It is 027E3298

However, this CODE in EZ5 PLUS is the normal operation of the CHT.

[$ 999,999]
ON=7E3298,3F,42,0F, 00

What is the way to make DSATM support it ?

]

 

[cracker]

I understand now why the address used in the code is so weird -- it uses a very unconventional method. I just tested it and it generates the right patch for that cheat code. However, the second code you listed is a proper version of the code since it uses a pointer so I would use that instead. You never said what happens when you use that one though. Let me know what it does.

 

[AMWDP]

the second code and the first code is the same. EZ5 PLUS test is work.

[$999999]
ON=90128:6C,3F,42,0F, 00

0x2090120: 0x027E322C + 0x0000006C = 0x027E3298

 

[cracker]

I understand that but whoever made the code used a pointer for a reason so usually that means you will come to a point in the game where the code stops working because the address changed. But either code should work fine in DSATM so that is why I'm asking what is happening when you say that it doesn't work? "Doesn't work" can mean a variety of things... DSATM crashing, DSATM giving an error message, the game being patched but giving white screens, the game being patched but the effects of the code not working, ....

 

[AMWDP]

Sorry.I want to say
The game code at 0 x2000000-0x23fffff in DSATM all that work .But 0x027E3298 is WAY outside the RAM range of the DS doesn't work.Including NO$GBA and FLASHCARD R4/DSTT, etc. .. because I do not understand.

 

[cracker]

I've never seen values stored in the DTCM like that before.

The EZ5 apparently uses a different hooking technique and it is able to write to the area while the correct data is there. But DSATM (and other engines that work like the real ARDS) get run during IRQ calls when the memory has been changed to a different address!

I came up with an ASM hack that I'm hoping will work. It displays $999,999 but it could just be for putting the text on the screen and actually knows there is a different amount of money. Let me know if it really does give you infinite money and if not then please send me a save file for the game where I would be able to buy something and I will get the right code.

Your code can work.

But is ASM hack. I can not ability to do this kind of code.

I'm glad it's working for you. It's not to hard to do ASM hacks (finding enough space is usually the hardest part). I used no$gba debug to get the right opcodes but you can also use the arm-eabi-as to get them.

 

[Tempus35]

I have a question, When I use codes I have in Codebreaker format in no$gba they work great but when I use those same codes for DSATM and then play the game, they dont' work at all or mess up the game. What could be the issue? Codes and game id below:

Game ID: Dragon Quest The Chapters of the Chosen (E)

Codes:
Money
220C7DD0 000F423F

Max HP
120c92E6 000003e7

Max MP

Infinite MP:
D3000000 020C92EC
F20C9E2A 00000002
D2000000 00000000

Update: If I use just the money code in this format:

Money
020C7DD0 000F423F

Then it works and I get money.
