[klallen1991]

Thanks anyways!

I got a cheat file from someone else!

 

[Syzero]

hey guys IM BAK, soz for not contributing b4 but i was addicted to maplestory but it isnt working now, and neither is flyff, so im stuck to the ds again.anyway, since my computer crashed b4 (yes it crashed and im in china rite now)

, my reference to ar joker hex numbers is gone so can any1 refer me to a list of joker commands for ar ds?
thx

FYI: a joker command is when u press a button combo to activate a code incase ya didnt no.QUOTE

Hey Cracker, I was wondering if you can help me out.

As of now, I'm trying to "patch" Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - EoT, using a raw ROM, untrimmed etc.

All I have in my txt file is the following:

020CAD90 E3A00000
020CAD94 E12FFF1E
020CB0F8 E3A00000
020CB0FC E12FFF1E

Which is the code for the bypass.

I select a save-as location, and name it FFCCEoT.NDS (different from the original file...)

however, when I try to start it on the CycloDS, the game starts... however, I get stuck at a blank white screen. I do notice that a save is created however.

-----

I have also tried this method with Phantasy Star Zero, using it's respective codes etc. However, the outcome is the same. I get stuck at a blank white screen without any progress.

Any help is much appreciated =].

Here's a list of all the AR code types. Types 5, 6, 9 are usually the ones used for keypress jokers:

Ex:
Press L+Up to do something
94000130 01bf0240

The CycloDS seems to mess with patched games in some way. I don't have one so I can't test it myself and I haven't been able to get anyone to test different settings to see if they might work. I would try setting the RAM address to 0x2000000 (you have to click the cracker button first to go to Advanced mode) and autopatching it that way.

I have tried that, along with various other options... the DSTT option, or ARM7... can't seem to get it to work though >

94000130 01bf0240

im sorry, but the only thing it taught me was converting from 8/16/32 bit codes. wat im trying to look for are the values for each of the buttons, the only ones i remember are:

a:0001/fffe
b:0002/fffd
a+b:0003/fffc
L:0100/feff
R:0200/fdff

not sure about the L/R ones but thats wat im looking for so can any1 either find them or make a list of them here? that would be apreciated!

P.S. wat did ya think of my random quotes b4?

Wow.. Disregard that example of a key press test... I must have needed a lot of sleep...

Keys on the DS (and GBA) work the opposite of how they normally do in other devices. The bit for a button is set when it isn't pressed and cleared when it is.

Ex:
0x3ff - No key pressed
0x1ff - only L key pressed

The values for the keys are:
0x001 - A
0x002 - B
0x004 - Select
0x008 - Start
0x010 - Right
0x020 - Left
0x040 - Up
0x080 - Down
0x100 - R trigger
0x200 - L trigger

Add up the values for the keys you want to use. Then take that value and XOR it with 0xffff which will make the first half of the value. The second half is always 0 (since keys being pressed read 0).

Ex:
L trigger+Select+Up = 0x200+0x40+0x4 = 0x244 ; 0x244 XOR 0xffff = 0xfdbb

So the code would be 94000130 fdbb0000.

Note: X and Y aren't read from 0x4000130 so key combos can't be used with them.

Re the random quotes: I just thought you had gone mad.

hey craker im trying to get ffcc echoes of time to work with my gba movie player
heheh ineed ur help again sorry

heres the code:

Game Id: CFIJ F0AB5928

Piracy Bypass Cheat
020CAD90 E3A00000
020CAD94 E12FFF1E
020CB0F8 E3A00000

[cracker]

An m3 or the original GBAMP?

Re the random quotes: I just thought you had gone mad.
lol thanx for the reference but lemme ask u one thing: wat address are the x+y buttons read from? (aka, a universal nds trigger address, at least, thats wat i call it

)

also, i remember that,

X:0x400
Y:0x800 (or was it the other way around)

anyway, THANK YOU CRACKER THE LEGENDARY BISCUIT OF TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!

(that was meant to be part of a random quote lol

P.S. i have seen some codes which look somthing like this:

94000130 fXff0800

where 'X' is either a f,e,d,c,b or a (cant remember) and it was supposed to work with the 'Y' button. im not sure if the address is rite but can u confirm wat this really means?

syzero @ his own mind says...P.P.S. im ready for any technical explanations even if i dont understand them, im not gonna faint this time and....

would these random quotes be considered spamming or do other ppl like a bit of humor in here, if it is spamming, then i will stop

X and Y are read with the same register as the pen up/down status and the status of the DS being closed or not: 0x4000136.

Y = 0x2
X = 0x1

Ex:
Press L trigger+Select+X
94000130 fdfb0000
94000136 fffe0000
//code
d2000000 00000000

So the codes that you have seen shouldn't work properly if they do test only 0x4000130. Sometimes people will make cheats that use joker commands from input that actually tests the value stored in a place in RAM by the game itself and those values have the X/Y status added to the other key status so it can be checked more easily. Maybe it could have been that instead?

 

[Syzero]

nvr seen that kind of code form but i will try it when i modify any more codes to my needs

good mo-rnin sakura chiiiian,.... *punched in da face* BUT I LUV UUUUUUUUU *thump*

TAKE THAT IDIOT

CHA! DAMN IT!

ow that rly hurt...

 

[erokill]

umm an m3

 

[cracker]

The m3 trashes the RAM that DSATM uses by default so you need to change the RAM address to something safe. The DSTT option changes the RAM to a place that problematic carts can usually use without a problem. If that doesn't work then change to Advanced mode (click the cracker button) and try 0x2000000 for the address along with autopatching.

Note: If a game needs an ARM7 patch then use that option in DSATM with the original game.

 

[erokill]

wat m3manager setting shud i use?
like trim rom no trim rom all dat stuff

 

[cracker]

Don't use trim or soft reset. For the read mode usually fast mode 1x and R/W enabled is the way to go.

 

[erokill]

yea it works fine now thanks agaian

hey cracker i found the code example with the x+Y confusion and its somthing like this:
CODE9216e594 f7ff0800
221885b5 00000000
d0000000 00000000

note: the code above activates with the Y button only.

it seems i got the address wrong b4

Yeah that's a good example of what I was talking about. The input handler for the game takes the value at 0x4000130 EORs it with 0x2fff, ANDs it with 0x2fff (which is strange because it should be 0x3ff) and then takes the value of 0x4000136 and EORs it with 3, ANDs it with 3. That is then shifted 10 bits to the left and ORed together with the other value and stored at 0x216e594.

Hope that wasn't hard to follow...

 

[Syzero]

cracker, i have a problem.

with advance wars Dual strike (i no its old..), this code only works with the first unit:

All Units Press Y to Move Again (squad 1)
927fffa8 f7ff0000
c0000000 00000031
22188473 00000000
dc000000 0000000e
d2000000 00000000

i no why it only works with the first unit but i dont no how to make it work for ALL units any help on this?
