Melee Gecko Codes + Guide and Discussion

[DAHypersonix1617]

Depending on what method you are using, you need to make sure your games are saved correctly. Simply dragging and dropping an ISO onto your USB isn't going to work.

Are you using DIOS-MIOS, Nintendon't, or some third thing?

I usually use DIOS-MIOS and it works fine through that; I've already converted the .iso's with DM Toolbox. The problem is when Gecko is added into the equation. No matter what settings I change It will always try to load through the disc drive and then give an error.

 

[DrButteFatman]

I'm having trouble getting cheats working on Melee. I want to play stuff like Adventure Mode, but I can't play w/ stupid Tap Jump or not being able to use the C-Stick. I'm only trying to get 3 cheats working: Disable Tap Jump, Automatic L-Cancel, and C-Stick in single player. I made a GCT, named it GALE01, followed all the steps carefully, and I cannot get this to work.

I've tried it in USBloader w/ Dios Mios. The game starts up normally, the cheats have no effect. Hitting up on the stick still jumps, C-Stick controls camera in single player, L-Canceling isnt automatic

I've tried it off the disc with Gecko. The same thing happens.

I've been trying this all day and I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. If anyone could give me some pointers I'd be very grateful.

I've got it to work by placing the GCT in games/gale01/ , and don't forget to activate cheats in the settings of Dios Mios.

Also, if you still have trouble with Gecko codes: Because you ask some simple lines, you could make your custom DOL inside your iso with your settings activated at all times here: http://smashboards.com/threads/the-dol-mod-topic.326347/

 

[DrButteFatman]

I ended up finding what my problem was. I'm gonna post what I did wrong so people having the same problem can learn to solve it.

BE SURE TO CHECK WHAT VERSION OF MELEE YOU'RE PLAYING
You can put your Melee ISO into a program called Melee Toolkit, and there you can check the version number. Most of these cheats apply to 1.02 (unless stated otherwise.) I was using a 1.00 iso.

I have lots of melee isos so its very easy to get them confused. Make sure you check the version number before you start trying to put codes in.

Also yeah, that was a dumb mistake by me. Mah b.

Before sudden death is played, the real value for damage is compared (which is a float). It figures out any ties and breaks ties using percent. If two players die at the same time in a stock match, the one with lower percent on death wins (like Kirby upthrow on Rainbow cruise). In the unlikely event the float percents are exactly the same, sudden death is still played.

 

[flieskiller]

That means if player 1 has 31.1% and player 2 has 31.5%, player 1 will win the game?

 

[CeLL]

That means if player 1 has 31.1% and player 2 has 31.5%, player 1 will win the game?

If this is right, I would say that it would be better off comparing them as integers.

 

[standardtoaster]

I would definitely compare them as integers. It won't make sense from the user's viewpoint if p1 percent shows 135 and p2 shows 135 yet p2 would win

 

[_glook]

I did it the float way, because I liked that it made tiebreakers much less likely and I liked the idea of being that granular. That being said, I can understand the UI reasoning behind the integer version. Fortunately, it's not hard to change it to the displayed value.

 

[flieskiller]

I feel like being "granular" is cool on paper, but in actual gameplay it's like a 50/50 you or the opponent wins, and it would be bad competitively to decide the win on a coin flip of there was a stock and % tie.

Well, it's not actually a coin flip, but yeah, I suppose to the player it would seem like it. I guess in that case, I should try working on a way to set the sudden death mode to have 0%, set to 1 minute, and no bomb rain. Actually, if I can get it to just set it to one stock, maybe the time limit won't matter for tournaments; just play until one of you dies, so there's no subsequent tiebreaker. I already know how to disable bomb rain.

Tie breaker matches are 1 stock with a 3 minute timer. In the event of another tie, another 1 stock, 3 minute game is played. I think people wouldn't want to deviate from it by doing an endless match.

I see. The issue is that everything else can be dealt with: bomb rain can be turned off, damage can be set to 0% at sudden death start, and the timer can even be turned on and set to 3 minutes (set the word at 8046b6C8 180 in decimal and set the byte at 8046db68 to 0x32 to enable the timer). The main issue is, the timer won't be visible. The thing that shows the timer is one of those variable function being called at 80390dfc, and deciphering the data structure that reads this data is a bit non-trivial. Though, I guess if people don't mind not seeing the timer, it might work, but it seems like that's not something people would be willing to go for.

It won't be visible even if the timer is enabled in the options? Is it something special with Sudden Death mode that makes it so the timer is not visible?

What if you used a modified Salty Runbacks code for the new match instead?

Sudden death always disables the timer, so it doesn't matter what you've put in your settings for the normal match. If you set 8046DB68 to 0x32 to turn the timer on when the timer was not visible, the time will not display (though the timer will behave normally and end the match when time is up, though you have to remember to set the number of seconds left).

Essentially, it treats the Stock Match Time Limit as a points cap in Time mode and a coin cap in Coin Mode (coin cap is the minutes set times 100). It essentially ends the match immediately once one of the players has reached the point or coin limit/cap. Setting Stock Match Time Limit to None turns this off, so you can still play normally if you want to.

Good catch! I'm sure there's more problems than that. I wrote that code a very, very long time ago and probaly won't fix it unless there is a demand for it.

Can someone help me with a code to enable rumble in Dolphin netplay with 20xx?

non-20xx netplay has rumble enabled by default. I found this code for disabling which people say won't desync:

But I want the opposite. When I play a friend with 20xx, then rumble is off by default, and i want rumble on for myself.

This basically make ledge invincibility behave similarly to shields, in that after grabbing the ledge a few times in quick succession, subsequent grabs will reduces ledge invincibility. The ledge invincibility recovers over time, like shields, and is reset when you die, just like shields. I figure this is a better solution that the one PM has, not only because I feel it feels more natural, but also because of things like the haxdash that can circumvent it.

This isn't a good code per se, but it is funny. While researching how to prevent PK Thunder from disappearing when Ness is hit, I came across this code:

04269528 4E800020

It seems to control how at the least PK Cross and PK Thunder animate and die. With this code enabled, PK Thunder and PK Flash last forever, except for PK Thunder when it hits something (either the ground or a character).

Pretty hilarious, I thought.


Edit:
Okay, figured out how to prevent PK Thunder from disappearing on hit and death in v1.2, to make it functionally equivalent to v1.0:

@ _glook I tested your "ties broken by percent" code on console with Neogamma and noticed a couple bugs. When P1 wins (has lower percent when time is up), it works. However, it seems when P1 loses (has higher percent), the results screen shows the name and victory animation for the winning player's character BUT with the logo and victory music of P1's character. It also doesn't always work right for teams matches.

If possible, it would be cool if when integer values of percents are tied when time is up, it goes to a 1-stock 3-minute tiebreaker (showing the timer).

As far as 1 stock 3 minute tiebreaker, I don't know how to get the timer to visibly appear, which is the main thing holding that back.

You should tell the error for better help from people.

Also, if you want to try with Dios Mios booter, you must put the .gct in the same place as the iso, in /games/GALE01

The instructions on the first post are quite outdated. I just use CFG Loader and it makes the gct automatically for you. Nqztv wrote about it in the comments on the very first page of the 20XX hack pack.

Here's a new code, which I call Wall Cancelling, aka Wall Bracing:

C208DFAC 00000007
2C1C0003 41820030
887D0724 70630004
2C030004 40A20020
807D0620 2C030000
4082000C 38600001
48000008 38600000
2C030000 00000000

Its main purpose is to get rid of wall infinites.
If you are on the ground and you're moving into a wall (either by purposely walking/running into it or, more likely, if you're being shined into the wall), if you get hit by a non-launching attack, you can press the analog stick left or right to brace against the wall, which will make your feet leave the ground. The direction you press doesn't matter, and this was purposefully done to help with Smash DI (which is actually just a justification for my laziness). For more detailed explanation of why this combats wall infinites, here's a video explaining it:

I'll probably be fixing the percent ties code next. Also, there's a simple bug in the Ledge Attrition code where it reduces tech and other invincibility as well, so I'll be posting an updated version of that.

glook, you are amazing

This is the updated code, called "Break TIes by (Integer) Percents":

The difference between this one and the one I posted earlier is:

• Instead of the real percentage, I use the displayed percentage.
• The logos and music should be the logo of the actual winner instead of player 1.
• The code works for teams now.

The main limitation is that if you hack it so that sudden death times out, it still makes the highest priority port the winner, but I have an idea of how to fix that, but that'll go in the "Tournament Overtime" code.

It lets you see your KO score during Time. Normally unlocked after 5000 KOs.

I am slightly surprised almost nobody is using the newfangled Melee Codes subforum located conveniently at the top of the Workshop.

Is there a preference to this thread?
