ROM Hack [Release]Gateshark2NTR

Does it matter if I have the 2017 version of VCRedist installed? I'm using the new version of Visual Studio.

Yes, it does. You need the version which was used for the project.

 

[SAIYAN48]

That could be part of the problem. However, after working with @Nanquitas, we determined that Nintendogs + Cats simply won't work with NTR cheats.

I get this error when trying to convert a gateway cheat txt file.Then the program crashes.What do I do?

Edit:Another one I tested worked fine.

Edit 2:There was 1 line that was incomplete so i deleted that cheat and now it worked.

@Nanquitas
My plugin look corrupted, only 1 code

did you try move the cheats (cheat1 move down, cheat5 at top, etc...) in the txt file?

 

[Asia81]

Actually I got it fixed, idk really how, I just redid the plugin another time and now it work.
Maybe a random corruption.

 

[wownmnpare]

I want to request punch club max skill points since its already out. Thanks

 

[Nanquitas]

This thread is not for requesting cheats sorry.

I'm having trouble getting a cheat to convert that uses an E type block.

Specifically the lines are

E00102A0 00000018
CBFFBFFE FFFFBF2F
F97FFFFF FFDFFFDB
FFDFFFBF 7BDFBFBF
D0000000 00000000

The E type specifies 00000018 which should be 24 bytes or 3 lines right? That's what is provided so I can't figure out whats wrong?

It works sometimes if I change the code to write something else besides what I want (like 24 bytes of all 00s), but not other times (like 24 bytes of all FF).

[This works]
E00102A0 00000018
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
D0000000 00000000

[This doesn't work]
E00102A0 00000018
FFFFFFFE FFFFFFFF
FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF
FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF
D0000000 00000000

So if I had to guess you have some error in your converter or parser for E types with certain characters?

maybe it does not convert e type.

try change to multiple continuous offset writing

 

[Nanquitas]

Yes it does, but might be a problem with the converter.

I'll take a look.

 

[Sonansune]

nice

i keep getting an error saying error no such file or directory cant open users\name\desktop\gateshark2\template\cheats.h.

Narrowed it down for you. This input file:

[This crashes]
E0000000 00000008
F0000000 00000000
D0000000 00000000

Will generate this code:

void    this_crashes_3c81a(u32 index)
{
    u32    data;
    u32    offset;

    data = 0;
    offset = 0;
    new_log(1, "Execute: This crashes");
    u32    address0 = 0x00000000;
    static const u8    buffer0[] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xF0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xD0,};

    memcpy((void *)(address0 + offset), buffer0, 0x00000008);
    memcpy((void *)0x0, (void *)offset, 0x);
}

In fact, any E code whose first byte on a new line starts with F seems to cause this. So here's another that will crash:

[This crashes]
E0000000 00000010
00000000 00000000
F7000000 00000000
D0000000 00000000

So I'm not sure how the script parses these bytes but it seems to not handle it well if the first value of a line is F.
