I hope that these cheats help because the game are freaking hard to play (or you sometimes even don't know the rules) ...

Note that these addresses (and the ones previously in bestri.xml) are only valid if you reset the machine and let the "Die Break" logo to display before inserting a coin because they are somewhere based on the stack which changes if you let the "attract mode" run or if you have already played the game ...

Thanks, I didn't realise that the game used dynamic addresses. I've changed 'nearly' all the cheats to use dynamic addresses, I'm not sure your what exactly you bat options cheats do (wrong address?) ?

BTW, the time cheat for the Heuk Sun Baek Sa Game game is a static hard-coded address - the address you posted was wrong though.

Thanks, I didn't realise that the game used dynamic addresses. I've changed 'nearly' all the cheats to use dynamic addresses ...

Cool ! I didn't remember that it was so easy to create dynamic cheats with the new engine

I'm not sure your what exactly you bat options cheats do (wrong address?) ?

Yep, I mangled some addresses between player 1 and player 2 The "options" are the small balls near the bat (1 means "1 ball on each side") ...

Here are what shall be the correct cheats (please verify again) :

Code: Select all

  <cheat desc="Select Jump Height PL1">
    <parameter min="0" max="9" step="1"/>
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pw@((maincpu.pd@3A008C)+22)=0009</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

  <cheat desc="Select Bat Options PL1  ">
    <parameter min="0" max="7" step="1"/>
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pw@((maincpu.pd@3A008C)+28)=0007</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

  <cheat desc="Select Jump Height PL2">
    <parameter min="0" max="9" step="1"/>
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pw@((maincpu.pd@3A008C)+D8)=0009</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

  <cheat desc="Select Bat Options PL2">
    <parameter min="0" max="7" step="1"/>
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pw@((maincpu.pd@3A008C)+DE)=0007</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

BTW, the time cheat for the Heuk Sun Baek Sa Game game is a static hard-coded address - the address you posted was wrong though.

My address is good : you see the pieces falling down, but they don't stack ... Note that this cheat was based on the one for 'heuksun' (the single game), so you might also need to "fix" this one ...

Thanks, I've updated the above cheats and slightly changed the Select option cheat.

Also noticed a bug with my converting program not handling dynamic cheats with select values, it was poking the maximum value rather than param - oops! So I fixed those above and also in the 4 other games that contain such cheats (was easier/safer than updating the converter for so few cheats).
