[combatsc] sound test cheats

Post by danylopez123 »

Since the changes from 0.239 that affected like Contra having the music slightly slow and then fixing it, that also got affected for other Konami games as well, like Salamander, Black Panther and others.

I was currently thinking: There haven't been a sound test cheat made for Combat School yet and that game also likes to auto-jump to the next ones without letting the music codes play.

You can still go to the next sound test code with Player 2 Start.

I've been thinking to request a cheat for sound test for Combat School, kinda like the other sound test cheats for other konami games, like "Sound Test Timer Stop" where, it's self-explanatory and "Sound Test" where you change the value of it and activate it to play a desired sound/music.

Quick one, try this:

Code: Select all

  <cheat desc="Sound Test Timer Stop"> <comment>Press the P2 button to increase the sound number</comment>
    <script state="on">
      <action>temp0 =maincpu.mb@27ECD</action>
    </script>
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.mb@27ECD=B6</action>
    </script>
    <script state="off">
      <action>maincpu.mb@27ECD=temp0 </action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

Thank you Pugsy! The Sound Test Timer Stop cheat works fine!
As minimun, the Sound Test Timer Stop it's all i need for this, im pretty sure the sound test itself from the service menu plays all of the sounds, voices and musics.
If you still want to make the other "Sound Test" cheat i mentioned before, you are free to do it.

Update: I almost forgot to tell you that the Sound Test Timer Stop cheat works fine.. until the last sound code 61 where it still does the auto-jump making the music to not fully play and goes to the next service mode page, color check.
I can just do a work-around with that, as soon it plays the last sound code 61, i pause the game, set the CPU overclock to 1% then unpause the game.
If you can see how to fix that, that would help, if you want.
