Typing this as I investigate, please bear with me.
Yes, yes. Worms Open Warfare 2 codes. But there is an issue...(I made a separate thread for this issue Here:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=59756 , but it seems to be going ignored)...the GameID doesn't match MY ROM. I need you guys to report what you have for a GameID on Worms2.
The difference in ID's is likely because of the ARM7 fix we had to bust on the game for it to work in our R4's.
My ROM reports the GameID as AW2P 53AFB83B when fixed using the Sim City (J) ARM7 as the donor.
CodeJunkies reports the GameID as AW2P-3C47276A.....I have checked the unfixed ROM and that is indeed the ROM code for Worms2 unfixed.
The Sim City (J) ROM is reported as AC3J 0ab32402.....different from the fixed Worms2. This was the "donor" ROM for my fixed version.
Obviously, the ARM7 Fix fruited the GameID, so any game that is supposed to have a code and it doesn't appear in YOUR list when using my USRCHEAT.DAT will have to be altered on YOUR end to the correct GameID depending on what game you used as a donor for the ARM7 FIX. Repeat, YOU will have to find the GameID of YOUR ARM7 fixed ROM and set the GameID to that on your USRCHEAT.DAT.
This kind of stuff throws a severe monkey-wrench into the whole master dat idea.
I could add the code twice with different GameID's (I've decided that for now, I will just add the code twice under separate GameID's), but that just seems like unnecessary bloat in the file and may not solve everyone's problem if they used a different donor to ARM7 fix Worms2. The same will probably happen when codes for Operation Vietnam finally surface too, since we had to ARM7 fix that game also.
This also goes a long way to explaining why some people don't see some codes on some games.....maybe they were ARM7 fixed and don't have the correct GameID anymore, therefore, they don't show in your list. You would have to modify the GameID manually to match your ROM in that case. Try to make sure you aren't altering the GameID of the wrong region version. Codes are not interchangeable between regions.
So......I need to ask. What is your ARM7 FIX'd GameID for Worms2? This will determine whether I DO need to add the code twice (one for the fixed version, one for the unfixed version EDIT: added both the codes I have at my disposal), or if there is going to be multiple gameID's according to what file was used as the donor to fix the game.
Another possible issue is that the codes won't work on the fixed version of the game. Keep that in mind. Code offsets may be different because of the ARM7 fix. I expect you guys to report if codes don't work, because I don't use them personally.
Link in sig, please report your findings. Do you now have working codes for Worms Open Warfare 2?
Replies to this strongly requested.
I tested a couple codes (infinite life and instant win) with my alternate GameID version of Worms. It worked.
So now, the only thing left is.....what is YOUR Worms2 GameID? Do you have codes with my dat?
