[sfa3] Survival Mode - Select Opponents

In Survival Mode, you face through every character on one life bar. These ROM cheats (there are lots of lines) allow you to select your opponents.

The addresses are part of the sz3u.03c ROM, so this means they could be different for clones. If you use the debugger to find the value 01031A0F (corresponding to the first four Survival Mode opponents (Ken, Charlie, R. Mika, and Dhalsim), you should have similar cheats for the clones.

28 characters in the roster and 27 battles to do (you do fight one Dramatic Battle), why don't I just give you the first one and anyone with a lot of spare time on their hands add the next 26?

Code: Select all

Now, there's MORE.

There are three possible choices on how the ISMs are selected in Survival Mode. By default, all of them follow the pattern of X,A,V,X,A,V,... but differ in which one is first (and which ones are skipped over in the Dramatic Battle and the four boss battles).

These are the cheats that can alter each of the three choices (so the only assurance that you get the ISM order that you want is to alter all three - or at least find a cheat that determines which of the three choices is selected).

The first entries for each of the three choices are found at the ROM locations 00BD58, 00BD74, and 00BD90. As this is part of sz3u.03c, they may differ for clones. The only way to tell where they are is that these addresses follow after the survival mode order (and then it is difficult to see where one selection ends and another begins, but the string of zeros that correspond to the ISM selections of Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and Bison are big hints).

Anyways, they follow this pattern (using 00BD58 as an example):

Code: Select all

:sfa3:62000000:000000:00000000:00000000:Opponent 1 - Select ISM
:sfa3:20810000:00BD58:000000FF:000000FF:X-ISM
:sfa3:20810000:00BD58:00000000:000000FF:A-ISM
:sfa3:20810000:00BD58:00000001:000000FF:V-ISM
