Hello there guys, I'm going to be dropping over here all my findings of the game that I can, unafortunately the game does weird stuff to how it maps memory and breaks dolphin very easily when debugging it, I have made some findings though.

Adresses
Stock count
0x015882c6
1 stocks = 0x31
2 stocks = 0x32
3 stocks = 0x33
4 stocks = 0x34 ; ?? Does this even work?

Unlock everything
0x8047B164
set to 00000000 to unlock all stages and characters.
(thanks to ralf from gc forever)

I've been looking in to this a bit as well and can confirm, Dolphin breaks all the time. Very annoying. I'm trying to hunt down some way to unlock Trophy Room so if anyone comes across the memory address keeping us out of it, please post. I'm quite new to this and the tools are pretty overwhelming, plus I don't have loads of time to mess around with it.

EDIT: I don't really have time to watch it now, but this looks like essential viewing.

I have watched it and I have programming experience, I think it's just the game has some bad programming (which is very likely) and that causes dolphin to have problems with it.

FINALLY


0447B164 00000000

That unlocks everything, including the trophy room, proof:



I suggest we make this standard and make a custom build out of it.

Hey guys, I don't know what's happening here but it looks really good and useful. What it is?

0447B164 00000000 is a cheat that unlocks all stages and characters.

Sounds fantastic, does this mean we don't have to use the memory card bollocks for Slam in the Swamp?

Yes, you don't need to use a memory card, I can try to put together a mod that makes the game default to stock mode if you want.
The geck cheat is 0447B164 00000000

We e-sports now. 

But for real, thanks a bunch for looking into this. It's things like these that help to legitimize the scene, and make it more accessible for new players.

As I said the big problem with this game is that (if I'm right) it's made with UE2, and it does some weird shit with the memory.

GREAT WORK. I've attempted to achieve this but have failed due to my lack of knowledge on the subject, I just program. I've been looking into turning off items for a while now, I think that would GREATLY improve the competitive accessibility of the game.

We need to find whatever spawns the items, which is generally very hard, the standard approach would be finding what lines of assembly change a value, but with items there's no value to find.

I found a code that in theory enables debug mode, but it doesn't work.

Debug mode is critical because it might contain a way to disable items, and it might also contain a way to see frame data, which i'm pretty sure it does from strings I have found.

Damn. I'll look into the subject more at some point, I feel like with this being a possibility, we NEED to find a way to do it. It's frustrating when you get a stock lead on Mine Cart just for them to get KO'd off the top left where they get a random potion and just so happen to get a SLAM potion. Also, when using that code for unlocking everything, does it save the progress to the memory card? 'Cause it'd be awesome to have a full save for tournaments, we're starting them very soon in my scene.

With the debug menu and the debug camera you can do some sick stuff, this is the debug camera code I found online:

0447B20C 00000001


L+R = Debug Camera On/Off

L/R = Move Up/Down

DPad Left/Right = Zoom Out/In

A-Stick Up/Down = Zoom In/Out

A-Stick Left/Right = Move Left/Right

C-Stick Up/Down = Look Down/Up

C-Stick Left/Right = Rotate Left/Right

X = Lock Debug Camera

You could do cinematics with it.

And this is the debug menu, see if you someone can figure it out:

0403D8B4 41820040

0447B254 00000001

2840EA10 00000410

0403D8B4 48000014

E2000001 80008000

2840EA10 00000810

0403D8B4 4800002C

E2000001 80008000



Z + Y/X = Debug Menu On/Off

DPad Up/Down = Select Debug Option

DPad Left/Right = Change Debug Option

L/R = Switch Through Sub-Menus

X = Jump To Main Menu

I talked to ralf, the guy that discovered most of the things that I showed you, and turns out the debug menu is broken in dolphin because button combos are broken.

I asked him if there's an alternative way to load it, the debug menu has a interesting feature that is called "disable spawns" I assume it disables items.
