Has anyone tried finding Pointers for PCSE01113 - Samurai Shodown V Special ????? Made 3 Memory Dumps so far, but all I get with the Pointer Search is just 0% Results. I also expanded the Results by 2x Clicking on them, but even after going down the List, and setting the Offset to F000, I ended up with 45,xxx 0% Results, and nothing else. @Yohoki , I am guessing if I do more Memory Dumps Tomorrow, and I still get 0% Results and nothing else, that Game might have problems for Pointers?

You've been around for a while. I think that was the old combo from z04 or something. If you upgraded, but left the hotkeys.cfg file, it might have been left with the old combo. A lot of older posts mention that as the combo.

I looked at this game a while back. These arcade classics don't use pointers at all. It's all stored in static locations inside seg1. If you're on z06, you can find HP (or what ever) and save it's address. Then look at "browse memory" and hit up on the RStick. At the top you'll see "Seg0" and "Seg1" followed by some addresses. Use a hex calculator to take the HP Address minus the first address for Seg1 to get an offset. Then just use this format:

_V0 Inf HP
$B200 00000001 00000000
$0200 00OFFSET XXXXXXXX

I still have some codes in my db folder. I didn't make many codes, though. I mainly was helping some one else figure out how it worked, but I can't remember who asked me anymore. Since it uses seg1, this is only good on z05+ and FW 3.65+. It will not work on z05 for FW 3.60. Can't fix that, sorry.

I assume you have your system language set to Italian? A lot of codes get messed up when system language is changed. Since this forum is mainly an English speaking forum, that means most of us make codes with the language set to english. Try setting language to english and see if that fixes them.

anyone got assassin's creed III Liberation vitacheat file? thanks

 

[Smoker1]

@Yohoki -
OK........so if I understand what you said correctly, I find all the 8 Codes I am wanting, then look at what the Seg1 Address is, - it, and that will be the Offset, so.......
815BC17B = Inf Time
Minus
813004F0 = Seg1 Start Address
Equals
2BBC8B = Offset

Code would be......
_V0 Inf Time
$B200 00000001 00000000
$0200 002BBC8B 00000090

If I am correct, since it is a 8Bit, I just change 0200 to 0000? Leave the B200 as it is, since it is a B200?

EDIT = SUCCESS!!!!!!!!! Inf Time B200 Code!!!!!!!!!! Now just have to find the rest and Calculate

I can't remember. I think i used it with the win counter codes. Pretty sure you could set 1Ps wins to 2 and then lose/win the match and you win the fight.

Now just have to figure out the Clock above the 1P Health that Calculates the Player's Total Time Playing.

So this particular Samurai Shodown game doesn't use pointers? Interesting. Pretty much all of them have since the first.
Unless... maybe the NeoGeo had that similar segmentation thing the Vita does. What makes us need the B#00 codes.
That could explain the appearance of the need to use a double pointer when making codes for previous/different hardware.
I know lee4 back in the PSP days had a kind of write up on such phenomenon, but it had to do with the PSP Neo Geo Station games and the offset (as in, what I would equate with a segment on the Vita) created by the emulator used in each of those games.
Based on my experience hacking codes for those, he may have abandoned his research, since it seemed not to be applicable to all of the Neo Geo Station games. Not all of them had the need for any kind of pointers at all. In fact, I've got codes for several of them on my blog.

That said, say another game requires the B#00 codes but DOES have a pointer... How difficult is that to do?

I wonder if the B200 thing works on The Last Blade 2 and/or the King of Fighters games.

 

[Smoker1]

With Samurai Shodown, I was making MANY Memory Dumps, and I was not getting anywhere. With @Yohoki 's method, it was VERY simple to do once I knew what I was doing........that and going off of the MAME Cheat File to look for what I was wanting. Just like RetroArch, you need to Calculate the Distance, and in some cases +/- 1 or 2 AND verify with the Memory Browser.

That's exactly what I do with these types of games. Any time I make codes for Neo Geo or any arcade ports, I use Pusgy's MAME cheat archive.

 

[Smoker1]

Sometimes it is a pain. Thing I dont get is, for the Switch, it is Static. With the Vita, you need a Pointer IF you can find it, or do the B200 method.
........Hhmmmm......I know Speedfly did "Garou-Mark of the Wolves", but I wonder if I can add some if needed. Not to mention, all of Speedfly's Codes are Assembly which is MUCH too Advanced for me.

I consider assembly codes cheating. Like, "I couldn't figure out how to make basic codes, so I hafta reprogram the game."
It makes no sense, but it makes me feel better about myself.
