Questions regarding usage of action replay codes in dolphin

[lightningfire]

Just want to check if below script is correct or is there something wrong

# GBIE08 - Resident Evil Disc2

[OnFrame]

#Add memory patches here.

[ActionReplay]

#3CKD-CT8Q-3HPTA
4MB5-29FQ-YNP70

[brubo]

No, that won't work. You need to use GCNcrypt (http://www.arcentral.net/Downloads/GCNcrypt-v1_5.zip) to decrypt the codes before you paste them in the patch file. Try this:

# GBIE08 - Resident Evil Disc2

[OnFrame]

#Add memory patches here.

[ActionReplay]

+(Must be on)
004E0201 88000000
C411E410 00000800

+Infinite Ammo (All Weapons)
004E30B2 08000000
04027284 38030000

[lightningfire]

This didnt work . Do you have a saved game file with the above cheat enabled .If you do ,please post it here.

[brubo]

You do have the USA version of the game right?
I don't have the game so I can't test it myself, but try this:

# GBIE08 - Resident Evil Disc2

[OnFrame]

#Add memory patches here.

[ActionReplay]

+(Must be on)
C411E410 00000800

+Infinite Ammo (All Weapons)
04027284 38030000

[lightningfire]

Do we have to start a new game for the cheats to be active or will they work even if we load the saved game from memory cards or the save states ?

EDIT : IT WORKS , THANKS


Do you also have a code for infinite life ?

[Xtreme2damax]

I can't get cheats to work in Remake no matter what I do, how did you get them to work?

[lightningfire]

Just right click and click edit.ini on the ISO and copy and paste the code which brubo has posted if you have the us version and it works. The ammo count does not go down

[Ryokukitsune]

does anyone have any working codes for Starfox Assault? I'd like to bypass a bug in the current game architecture that prevents me from bypassing the first level. All i'm really interested in is the level cheat

I don't even know if these codes work but I found some over here (that i decrypted to no avail)

http://www.supercheats.com/gamecube/starfoxassaultcodes2.htm

if someone can get them working and let me know that would be super ^^

[brubo]

What I forgot to mention in my previous posts (and only figured out recently) is that you always have to remove the first line of the decrypted code. If you look at the 2nd and 4th post in this thread you'll notice that removing the first line is the only thing that had to be changed to get it to work.

Also, every game needs to have a specific code enabled that is often referred to as (M) or (Must be on). This code does nothing by itself, but must be activated to allow other codes to work.

On a final note, make sure you're using codes for the right region, PAL codes won't work with a NTSC game and vice versa.

If everyone follows these steps it should work!

[Xtreme2damax]

It's still not working after I tried what you said and deleted the first line of each code. I have the NTSC-U (USA) version since I live in America.

Would being on a 64-bit operating system affect cheats from working? I have XP64 Professional SP2 and Vista64 SP1.

[brubo]

Do you get an error when decrypting?

Try some of the cheats on this (http://www.arcentral.net/Codes/NTSC/Resident_Evil.php) site, they worked for me.

[Xtreme2damax]

Actually the two cheats you listed are the same as the ones I decrypted for the same codes but nothing works.

I can't even get the cheats working that came with the SVN for Zelda, nothing ever works on my end in terms of cheats.

[brubo]

Try the 32 bit version of Dolphin and if that doesn't make it work I honestly don't know what will.

[Xtreme2damax]

It just seems the cheats don't like me or my pc, no matter what I try I am unable toget it to work.

[Ryokukitsune]

I lol with you xtreme becaues my situation seems to echo yours. i started on x64 then went back to x32 and dolphin seems to be fighting me every step of the way ^^; it sucks!

I wonder if it has to do with the stability of the game on the releases we are using...

if its glitchy at all on your machine chances are some variable is getting mangled before it has a chance to be modified by the action replay code...

[lightningfire]

Cheats from this website dont seem to work.

http://www.residentevilfan.com/re1rem/actreplay.asp

When trying to decrypt gives error Code decryption error CRC check failed

[brubo]

Yes, not all codes will decrypt. The readme included with GCNcrypt says Datel used a very complex encryption scheme which has only been reverse engineered for 98%. Most codes wil decrypt but some won't.

[M[u]ddy]

No Cheats on Server 2008 x64 either. :-(

[lightningfire]

Hi brubo i decrypted this code from here http://www.arcentral.net/Codes/NTSC/Resident_Evil.php

00000000 40000000

And when i start the game it gives error unknown action replay command 8d, what could be a problem ?

Which are the lines that need to be deleted for the code to work

[p_025]

I'm guessing the line that starts with "8D" is your problem, since the error said "unknown command 8D".

[lightningfire]

It still doesnt work and it crashes the game when you try to start or load

[Xtreme2damax]

Have you deleted the first "unused" line of the Action Replay code after decrypting it?

By the way I don't think cheats are working with Resident Evil Remake, I was able to now get cheats working in other games except for Resident Evil Remake.

[lightningfire]

Of course ,they do work in resident evil remake and it can be proved with a video.

[ReeceMix]

Im trying to get some AR cheats working for the Pal Version of RE2

Thats my original code

Infinite Health
X30B-G064-NYB3W
U88B-0ZZQ-K1YBK

This is what GCN Decrypt spits out

Infinite Health
033E2508 18000000
0016543F 000000FF

Ive added the code to the ini

# GHAP08 - Resident Evil 2
[Core]
#Values set here will override the main dolphin settings.
[EmuState]
#The Emulation State. 1 is worst, 5 is best, 0 is not set.
EmulationStateId = 0
[OnFrame]
[ActionReplay]
+$Infinite Health
033E2508 18000000
0016543F 000000FF


and I get an error message from Dolphin as;
Zero3 code not supported

When I goto edit the action replay code via dolphin 'Edit' (Not 'Edit Config')
The code looks like this

Name: Infinite Health
033E2508 18000000

Why does it delete the 2nd line?

I read on this tutorial GCNcrypt Tutorial (http://arcentral.net/FAQs/GCNcrypt.html)
That X codes dont work which would possibly relate to the '03' not supported

I cant figure out what to change that X into for this code to work :(
