Double Dragon II

[zeusdaz]

Not a cheat as such but I was wondering if there was a way of creating a file I could drop into the DDII rom folder where those stupid damn controls could be corrected, in other words regardless if you face left or right the punch and kick buttons remain the same instaed of switching?!,...a so called HACK I guess.
DD1 was perfect but DD2 is a pain in the arse where the controls are reversed whenever you turn round, It's such a headache, I don't understand what the creators were thinking to mess with the controls like that,...is there a way to undo the damage?!

Why not a cheat?

Quickly knocked up this ROM cheat, only tested it for about 10 seconds and it seems to work. Might not work on later levels so you'll need to check.

Add to ddragon2.xml:-

Code: Select all

  <cheat desc="Select Button Method"> <comment>Allows you to have the same buttons regardless of the direction you are facing</comment>
    <parameter>
      <item value="0x2A14">Normal</item>
      <item value="0x2A00">Alternative 1</item>
      <item value="0x2014">Alternative 2</item>
    </parameter>
    <script state="on">
      <action>temp0 =maincpu.mw@8F4F</action>
    </script>
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.mw@8F4F=param</action>
    </script>
    <script state="off">
      <action>maincpu.mw@8F4F=temp0 </action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

Thanks Pugsy, I will give it a test and let you know my findings.

[Cody Traverse]

Hello, I’m Cody Traverse(it’s taken from Cody from final fight).
I’m really glad I can finally be here!
I’ve been searching for tons of glitches of DD1 and DD2 arcade for many years, and I’ve got to use some cheats to see the result of my new discovery.
I’ll explain more about the glitches I’ve found later if anyone asks, but my current target is the glitch that allows me to bring Abore(the 2nd boss) to the MISSION 3!!
I’ve managed to take him to the area where that agricultural vehicle appears, but I’ve been stuck there because Abore mustn’t be hit by it due to the glitch’s effect(It gives Abore 0 HP).
So, here’s the thing: Does anyone think it’s possible to inactivate the vehicle not to hit Abore?
Or, in case it’s too difficult, how about making all the enemies possible to be defeated by only one punch or knock down?
I will appreciate if you can give me cheats that can work on Mame4droid.
Thank you!
