ROM Hack Spider ARcode to GW ARcode converter, anyone?

[tomx86]

Guys, if someone could make a converter like this, because that would save time for creating new codes for GW, that already exist for Spider Browser.
You can start wit this:
Sonic Generations (0004000000062300)
Spider ARcodes:

Freeze timer
03ba1928 00000000

Max Rings
13ba1934 000003e7

Max Lives
23ba15f4 00000063
23ba1930 00000063

GW ARcodes:

[Freeze timer]
00571928 00000000

[Max Rings]
10571934 000003e7

[Max Lifes]
20571930 00000063
205715f4 00000063

Thanks.

PS. A memory dump for GW format would be good to

The Spider AR code are using physical memory addresses.

This is actually very bad, because these addresses will be different if:
1. You are on a different firmware version than the code creator
2. Will not work on both n3ds and o3ds, as the physical memory layout is different
3. The physical memory will most likely not be linear, as the MMU table is normally used for the memory mapping


That last point will make it difficult for people to write a simple converter from Spider AR code to GW AR code format. It's simply an impossible task unless you figure out the mapping algorithm and use this combined with the ROM .code data.
The alternative is currently to find the cheats again, but this time using virtual addresses. As painstaking as it may sound, this is the only way to do it properly until the mapping algorithm is fully understood.

Oh, so back to the basics. Thanks, for the reply.

Looked to me like the GW Codes were more like NTR CFW plugins / codes than ARCode, so an ARCode converter may not be possible. Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

Reason I think that:

From the looks of it, their cheats are kind of like NTR CFW's cheat plugin (or maybe it's more like ARCode? I'm not sure since I only use NTR). Or at least that's my understanding judging by the fact that their code for max hearts in Zelda: Link Between Worlds is

D3000000 14000000128b6044 00005050

And the NTR CFW cheat plugin writes the same thing as

WRITEU16(0x168b6044 , 0x5050)

which essentially writes an insane number of hearts over and over again to the RAM.

So, if we have NTR codes already, we can subtract 0x04000000 from the NTR address and turn it into a GW code like

D3000000 14000000XXXXXXXX YYYYYYYY

where XXXXXXXX is the resulting address and YYYYYYYY is the value to write?

Either way, I've already got NTR CFW on my 3DS. Does the same thing as this cheat feature but it also works for CIAs and lets me make my own cheats. No reason to jump on installing the update just yet, especially with that ominous anti-DS2+ warning that seems to have people worried there could be brick code again.

 

[dsrules]

the cheats should work on any 3ds and any firmware if the game is using the same version the cheats were created on

and there is no 100% method to convert from ARCode to GW without looking at both memory dumps, like porting codes from one region to another

the only convert method that works now is if the ARCode address is within the range 14000000-17000000 (00000000 - 03000000) ex. ALBW would be the same code on GW after defined D3000000 14000000
