[ Каскадный ] · Стандартный · Линейный Взломщик Кодов для приставок Sega, требуется помощь, не проходите мимо!

Купил я значит, товарищи, сей артефакт. Ну вот такой:



Наверно, все хоть раз видели. Но видимо, не все юзали. Я вот раньше не юзал. Хотя у меня есть Game Genie на Денди, и работают все эти чит-картриджи примерно по одному и тому же принципу, однако возникли некоторые трудности.

Да, во "Взломщике" есть встроенная база кодов на кучу мегадрайвовских игр. Но не на все, блин! Например, нету горячо любимого мною Cliffhanger'а, которого я уже двенадцать лет не могу пройти . Ну отсюда и проистекает первый вопрос - где взять новые коды? Гуглил со страшной силой - ничего не нашел . Слыхал только, что якобы в некоей "игровой литературе от НьюГейм" когда-то печатали новые коды. Может, кто читал или есть у кого-то книжки с такими кодами? Поделитесь, плз! Далее, сзади у этого "Взломщика" есть два микропереключателя, очень похожие на те, что имеются у любого МегаКея для Сеги. Для чего они? Ведь как МегаКей "Взломщик" вроде бы не работает! Мне удалось установить только, что если оба этих переключателя отключены, то никакие коды вообще не срабатывают. Если включить один или оба, то коды работают, но при этом начинает немного "запинаться" или похрипывать звук. Почему?

Ну и наконец, может быть, гуру объяснят, как эта штука работает вообще? Я точно знаю, что у andrey228 есть точно такой же . Ведь на Game Genie или Pro Action Replay это совсем не похоже - используются громадных размеров коды, состоящие из нескольких строчек по шесть знаков (точней, вот таких строчек: ХХХХ-ХХ). В связи с этим поиск собственных кодов становится затруднительным...

Прошу высказываться всех "спецов", людей, владеющих информацией по данному предмету, если узнаю что сам - буду апдейтить.

Вот текст второй ссылки. Не знаю почему она не работает у тебя.

Вроде должно быть достаточно одной строчки кода, надо попробовать.

Convert Them Codes!
by Weasel
*************************
This document is created for help to people convert SNES codes a bit. These processes are fairly, if not, incredibly easy to do.
All it takes is a brain, a computer, and the appropriate programs. Remember, these are all for SNES codes, nothing else. If you
are looking for NES gg codes, go somewhere else. If enough people request it, I'll write a simple document for that as well.
*************************
Programs required
1. Windows  Duh, it's your operating system. If you're running a Mac, the other programs listed will not work.
2. Calculator  Yeah, it's the windows calc. Very important. Set it to Scientific mode. Pretty, no?
3. GGConvC  This spiffy utility converts a game genie code to a raw hex code. How cool is that?
4. Gg  Another nice utility. This one will make GG codes turn into Pro Action Replay codes.
5. gg-hex  This utility can convert GG to PAR and PAR to GG, (which doesn't really make sense at all...)
*************************
Game Genie to Pro Action Replay!

Okay, let's say you want to use a game genie code. For a game called Final Fight 2, there's a code that makes you start a new
game with 10 lives. But you can't get very far with 10 lives. That's sad, my friend. But besides the point. Altering GG codes can
be a pretty bad thing to mess with as some GG codes can erase save files, mess with the batteries, and just screw things up.
You don't want THAT to happen, right? Of course not. That's why Gg and gg-hex were invented. Gg must be used from the DOS
command line. If you don't know what that is, you need to be slapped with a large trout.
So, at the command line, run Gg like so:
gg dbcf-c7d6
Ain't that nifty? The program prints:
82a21c09
Also pretty slick. Feel the static in the air? That's your own spiffyness because you figured out how to do this so far!
The printed part of the program is a PAR code. Now, if you know anything about PAR codes, their formats are xxxxxx:yy. The
x's are the RAM offsets. This means next to nothing. The y's are the modified bytes. THAT is what you want to mess with,
peoples! Instead of screwing with the GG code and possibly f-ing your game up, you can mess with the y bytes. This doesn't
screw up the game because it has nothing to do with the game's actual code. It changed memory, no big deal. Cool, huh?
So in the PAR code above, change the 09 (which is 10 in decimal) to, let's say 10. Remember, this is in hexadecimal, so 10 is
actually 16. Now, in the game, use the code 82121c10. You will start the game with 16 lives. It's that simple.

Note: Since PAR codes effect memory, they are outside the range of the actual locations (whatever...) of the game. You can't
convert PAR to GG for this reason. Don't try, it'll just waste your time.

Game Genie to Hex address

If you're a rom hacker, THIS is what you were probably looking for. There's a code for a game called Seiken Densetsu 3 that
can give Duran a bit for Vitality points. 25 to be exact. FB78-80A5 is that code you want. Now, open up GGConvC and select
SNES. For this example, I am using a HiRom. HiRom and LoRom examples are different as their range for offsets can vary
greatly. Back to the example, enter the code above into the proper area in the program. It will convert it to D13EB0:19. This
looks a lot like a PAR code, doesn't it? It has the format xxxxxx:yy. It works the same way, the y's being the modified byte.
But this ISN'T the actual hex address. If you test this, you know it's out of range. So what to do? Here's the method.
Open the calculator, in scientific mode. Select "hex" on the left side. Type in D13EB0. Subtract C00000. Add 200. Guess what,
you maniac! That's the actual offset! Now, open the rom in a hex editor, go to the new address (it's 1140B0) and type 19 for the
byte you find there, it should be a 05. Now, save it. The code is permanently patched to the rom. You beast, you did it! Yay!

LoRom conversions are a bit different but not by much. Simple type in the code into the program like above. But this time,
press the Show 64k button. Subtract and add like above. Viola! you have the offset for the code.

This process is wonderful for finding data in roms. If there is a code that screws up a room's graphics, chances are that the
code moves stuff around and changes level data.
