uopoko (very preliminary) wip

etabeta78 · Post by **etabeta78** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 9:56 pm

ok, i am a complete newbie w.r.t. cheats, so i decided to pick up a game without cheats and see what can i do.

i ended up with uopoko and here's my first findings

Code: Select all

:uopoko:00000000:100203:00000004:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 05
:uopoko:00000000:100203:00000009:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 10
:uopoko:00000000:100203:0000000E:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 15
:uopoko:00000000:100203:00000013:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 20
:uopoko:00000000:100203:00000018:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 25
:uopoko:00000000:100203:0000001D:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 30

actually, you could easily select any 'next level' you want...

since i don't know the exact rule for this kind of cheat, i started with multiples of five...

more to come as soon as i learn something more about the (wonderful) world of mame cheat engine...

Thanks for coming.

Yes, your code is wrong because you have ignored a rule. In this case, use "value-selection" and "One-Shot" cheat.

Code: Select all

:uopoko:00000301:100203:0000001D:FFFFFFFF:Select Next Level

But I don't like "Next Level Selection" type code. I want "Starting Level Selection".

Code: Select all

:uopoko:00001301:100203:0000001D:FFFFFFFF:Select Starting Level

Sorry, I have not checked.

And I ask you.

Is this code for player 1 only ? The cheat database needs the codes for both players.
Is Maximum level 30 ? Normally, you must set "maximum" value when level selection code.

etabeta78, "Round Select" code for uopokoj has ALREADY existed in the latest database !
So you had to check the database before searched a code.

Clearned up.
- Uopoko - [68000 CPU]

Code: Select all

Divided a code to "Single Mode" and "VS Mode".
Merged old "Bubble" codes into "Select Current Bubble" with label-selection.
Fixed the color name for "Blue" Bubble to "Purple".
Added "Skip RAM/ROM Check" and the comment for "Select Starting Stage".
Made old 3 codes for "Guide Pointer" into 1 code with 24-bit address mode.

NOTE : the value for "Guide Pointer" is different between uopoko and uopokoj.

It's better to use "Select Current Bubble" together with activation key.
In label-selection code, 1st activation key is "select next code" and 2nd is "select previous code". It's new function I added.

first of all, sorry for not having checked uopokoj, but i was playing the international version and forgot about its clone...

next, i will pass this evening to examine both your posts to learn something more.

thanks to have spent some time teaching me
