How to Make your own Cheat Codes

[Vega]

Well, I understand your point (yes, the porting of the code better to save me the difficulty, or that's at least what I understood) but the problem is that, as I said before, the code is poorly done, because look, Mario Sports Mix It has 4 sports, which as I had already said are Basketball, Volleyball, Dodgeball and Hockey, the code only works in Basketball and Volleyball, while in Dodgeball it doesn't even load (the screen stays black) and in Hockey the game crashes at the time of throwing the puck into the goal (that's what I meant by the fact that the code was quite unstable).

I'm suprised that code works at all considering it's not meant for NTSC-U.

But from what you say, apparently it is quite a complicated code to be created from scratch, which already says enough, considering you're more advanced than me, I think that I cannot even consider myself at least as a beginner (much less than that), the code I created was just my first code, and I had no idea how to create code until I came across your post.

In the same way, I will try to do what you told me to do (try to port the code to my version), and the last thing you mentioned about the best thing to do would be to try to get the version of the game for that code, it would not be an option for me (the code is PAL), since my Wii (yes, i still have one) is NTSC-U, and I want to have all the codes that I create/modify exclusively for that version, so I prefer the first option.

What about playing on ISOs w/ USB Loader? I personally have all 4 MKWii's (NTSC-U/J/K and PAL) on 1 USB stick and choose whatever one I feel like playing at the time (granted I only boot MKWii upon request for code help nowadays, haven't actually played in 2 years lol)

But hey, changing the subject in case portability doesn't work, I have another idea for another code (I suppose this should be easier), in Mario Sports Mix there are 2 teams, blue (you) and red (CPU), each team has a bar to do a special attack, said bar has 5 levels, and when those 5 levels are completed you can perform the special attack.

Well, the idea is to create a code so that the bar of the blue team (you) is always full, while the bar of the red team (CPU) never fills up, I also forgot to mention that for said bar to fill up varies depending on of sports, in Basketball it fills up when you throw the ball, in Volleyball when you catch the ball, in Dodgeball when you throw the ball, and in Hockey when you throw the puck, all this 5 times (because as I said before, that the attack bar specials has 5 levels, and 5 is the maximum).

It goes without saying that the idea already exists (yes, I mean, there are already codes for that), the downside is that none of them have worked for me (in any version, just to be clear), here I post them, it's not a code with many lines, so maybe I assume it's easier:

Blue Team: SP Modifier [Bully@Wiiplaza] - NTSC-U
04A4202C SSSSSSSSS

00000000 = Empty
3F800000 = Full

Red Team: SP Modifier [Bully@Wiiplaza] - NTSC-U
04A42030 SSSSSSSS

00000000 = Empty
3F800000 = Full

Both Teams: SP Modifier [Bully@Wiiplaza] - NTSC-U
0418B1CC SSSSSSSSS

FC20B090 = Empty
FC201090 = Full

Instant SP Bar Gain [hetoan2] - NTSC-U
0418B300 D0A5010C

Blue Team has Max SP [hetoan2] - NTSC-U
04A41F6C 3F800000

Blue Team: SP Modifier [Bully@Wiiplaza] - PAL
04A78B6C SSSSSSSSS

00000000 = Empty
3F800000 = Full

Red Team: SP Modifier [Bully@Wiiplaza] - PAL
04A78B70 SSSSSSSS

00000000 = Empty
3F800000 = Full

Both Teams: SP Modifier [Bully@Wiiplaza] - PAL
0418B250 SSSSSSSSS

FC20B090 = Empty
FC201090 = Full

Fyi some games require a special hooktype for codes to be reliable. By default your HBC app (w/e you use to launch your games), uses the VBI hooktype (located in the Ocarina setting of said app). Try GXDraw or OSSleepThread.

If those codes still botch, recreating what you asked about shouldn't be too difficult. It reminded me of several DBZ BT3 codes I've made (ki, stock blasts, health etc).

Usually those type of things are Word or Halfword integers. Focus on your special attack bar first. If bar is zero search for zero. Get the bar to increase, continue the search but select "increased". When bar increases again, continue search using "increased" again. If decreases, continue search using "decreased", etc etc.

If you end up making this code successfully, it's a high chance the code will effect both Blue and Red team. If that's the case, you will need to learn about the "GVRs". as those may hold the key to "upgrading" the code to allow choosing between Blue vs Red

You also mentioned about stumbling onto my post (How to Make codes thread). If you haven't ran into my "Noob to ASM Coder" index, I recommend it. If puts all the important ASM tutorials i've made into the order they should be followed in.
