*Request* Gem change code for Puzzle Bobble 4

Post by ReyVGM »

Hello.
Anyone willing to make a code to change the color of the gems in Puzzle Bobble 4? Especially for that shinny gem that destroys all the others of the same color.

Thanks in advance.

Mike Myers? You mean like PM him with the request?
I don't think I know him to do that, might seem as begging or something :P

I thought you only had to make a post here and wait until someone decides to fill the request.

Let me know, thanks.

The RAM locations can be easily found (409ed4 & 409f49), but poking them does no good which is why they aren't in the cheat file - they are either written and read to0 quick or they are just red herrings. It probably requires ROM cheats which will be a fair bit of work for a game when there are so many other earlier versions that have the bubble cheats...

It's not impossible it's just a lot of work/time and there's only limited number of cheat finders skilled enough with the debugger and 68000 series assembly to make those cheats. I may have a look when I get more time, but it won't be anytime soon - I've got some ROM cheat finding in mind for other games first.

Oh ok, I understand. I thought they weren't there because no one had requested them considering PB3 has gem codes.

What exactly did you mean by this?
"there are so many other earlier versions that have the bubble cheats"

You mean that there are early versions of the rom that permit the bubble cheats or that there were cheats earlier in the life of the cheat dat?

Actually, have about a level skip code? Is that difficult to do too?

Something like the level codes for Puzzle Bobble 2, codes to "start on" and "go next" level in the Puzzle mode (the one with the map) would do just fine.

Let me know and thanks.

So, level codes are as difficult to do as the bubble change codes?

Try to search by yourself or wait ten years. Current this forum is factually dysfunctional.

Seeing as ShimaPong is the best, but he's not available for the task right now, you'll just have to live with these lesser-than-the-pong codes. If he's ever so inspired, he'll grace you with ideal codes, should your groveling prove worthy. In all seriousness, ShimaPong is the unofficial master of the boards due to his skill and unrivaled perserverence in the realm of code hacking. I do see reason for him to be discontented, with how hard he's worked to keep the quality of codes up on this board. Don't take his tone personally. Things just aren't going his way right now, which means there's a significant chance things aren't in favor of the general cheat users either.

Code: Select all

:pbobble4:20100000:0233B0:0000600E:0000FFFF:Always Get Star Bubble:You'll need to expend the 2 bubbles you have at the time to make it activate. Star bubbles alone can't win the game for you

Good god, thanks a lot man :)

I'm sorry for whatever situation that has been going on, I saw plenty of people requesting cheats and I decided to do it too, which I don't generally do.

I understand he might be disappointed, I too get disappointed whenever my projects go sour or whenever people show no interest.

Anyways, thanks for the codes.

Fixed messed up format and improved. Extended data field is filled with 0xffffffff in case of no bit mask. And new code blocks that both players get Star Bubble at the same time. It seems to be complete...? But if $40a040 and $40a06e aren't empty RAM area, the game will crash. I have not finished testing yet. Fortunately, an address is the same in all sets but we should post the code for all sets so far as possible.
