[snes] Not so big conversion thread

[NotAGoodName]

Codes are much easier to convert from ZSNES (etc) to MESS/MAME Plus but there's less games worth playing on it. Still, some things make more sense in the new MAME cheat format, so here we go. Maybe when I get bored with this, I'll finish Shining Force 2. The Super Nintendo isn't my favorite console if you can't tell.

First game is Final Fight 3 since I already did Final Fight 2 cheats for MAME.

Gundam Wing: Endless Duel
This game is pretty fun and definitely enjoyable for the Gundam Wing fans.

This brings me back. Way back. My cheat file for this game was last modified in 2005! My save states are from 2002. Yeah. I hacked on this thing until I knew all of its secrets. I even found the address for your current pilot...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Fighting Edition
Hmm. Big robots and such fighting. Flashy moves (literally). Y and X are punches. B and A are weapon attacks... Wait a second. This seems awfully familiar. Maybe because it's running on a barely modified Gundam Wing engine? Nah...

I hate that the story mode gives you two choices. Screw that. Play as anyone. No one has endings so what does it matter? Also, that power cheat looks complicated because it is. There's one to freeze the power bar (giving you maximum power special moves every time), one to max it out, and one to tell the game that you have enough power to do a DM.

Oh well. Have 50+ lines of cheats in one emulator, or 10 in this one. Pick your poison. I'll take 10 lines, thanks.

I fixed some typos in Gundam Wing. Oops.

TMNT Tournament Fighters
Screw this game. You can't hardly do anything without it screwing up. The clone turtle is unplayable. Best as I can tell, the character portrait and it's palette are somehow hardcoded and loaded into RAM manually. There aren't any values that say "Oh hey, this is the clone turtle. Give him his own palette and portrait." In game, his player value matches the turtle he represents (ie same as you) and he loads as having the alternate palette (which doesn't work in story mode, btw). What a disappointing mystery.

So long story short: No clone turtle. Don't use anyone besides turtles in story mode because you can't finish. Alternate palette doesn't work in story mode.

About time SNES cheats were made to a half decent standard. I made a few ages ago in the .dat format but of course, the only thing that ran properly back then was Super Mario World (I used to make the cheats by hand as the format was human readable, unlike the binary crap SNES9x and likewise chucked out). If only the actual emulator authors updated their clumsy old cheat engines to be more useful in this day and age... In the world of 64-bit processors, why are they still using 8-bit pokes? MAME gave that idea up back when version 0.60 came out!

I hear that. I've pretty much given up on other emulators at this point. I'll wait the years it takes for MAME/MESS to improve compatibility if it means not having to mess with stone age graphics engines and generic cheat engines.

So what if I can't play Mega Man X3? I'm too busy messing around with Sonic 3 and Knuckles to care.

Hope it's ok to just post snes cheats in this thread. Just started with mess and the new cheat engine (btw is there a good faq or something describing all the new commands and stuff?)

Just started with mess and the new cheat engine (btw is there a good faq or something describing all the new commands and stuff?)

At the moment there's just what's in the debugger help, I think it's still evolving so putting a FAQ together now may become outdated very quickly.

Slightly Off-Topic but I considered doing a SNES cheat collection, I got as far as producing a MESS cheat framework file (helps me to generate the basic 12000+ xmls) but got no further as the 12000+ games with no cheats put me off

Well I only create cheats for fun (basically old games that I never finished, mostly obscure jap stuff), I have a couple of gameboy cheats aswell that I did this week but I don't see any thread where they can be posted (is it ok to start one?). btw I was thinking of trying some gba cheating, what range should I be searching in?

Sure feel free to start any threads in this forum.

If you compile you own MESS and add s.ronco's debuuger enhancements then "ci" will init the two RAM areas of the gba automatically, as per this thread:-

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3454&start=20


Basically in standard MESS 0.134 you need to init the two RAM areas of 02000000-0203FFFF & 03000000-03007FFF. So as a short term measure (if you don't roll your own MESS or can't wait). Make a raw text file called gba in the MESS folder containing this:-

Code: Select all

ci ub,02000000,40000
cr 03000000,8000

And then in the debugger to init a gba byte searce type "source gba".

Thanks for the great info!
