Melee Gecko Codes + Guide and Discussion

[UnclePunch]

I don't know how much you know about MCM, but if I wanted to convert a gecko code into a format that MCM can read, would I need the assembly code too?

You can have MCM manually change the hex in the start.dol by dissecting the gecko code.

Codes that start with 04 are just static overwrites. The process for these codes consist of taking the 04, replacing it with 80, putting that address into MCM's memory offset -> dol offset tool, and placing that address in the mod construction under static overwrite > offset.

Codes that start with C2 are injection codes, meaning these run additional codelines where one codeline was. It does this by branching off to free space in the .dol, running its code, and returning to the line after the injection point (effectively adding code to that spot). The process for converting these to dol mods consist of taking the C2, replacing it with 80, putting that address into MCM's memory offset -> dol offset tool, and placing that address in the mod construction under injection mod > offset. Then take the remaining lines (excluding the 000000XX to the right of the C2 line) and paste that in the injection code area.

Also, you said that MCM inserts the gecko codehandler into the iso...does this mean that the game is able to run the gecko 'engine' in-game on its own, allowing for any gecko code to be run independently, or does it mean that the codes themselves are put into some format that the game reads as if it was in the game's code originally?

Yes the gecko codehandler (or engine as you referred to it as) will run with the game and it will place gecko codes into the start.dol every frame (most codes only need to be placed once, but this is just the nature of how the codehandler works).

Note that MCM Static Overwrites and Injection Mods are doing what the codehandler is doing outside of the game. MCM changes the code and saves the .dol when you save it on the program. Using the code handler is technically modifying a (mostly) vanilla dol during runtime.

I think my biggest question is how a game can actually run a code. Is the PowerPC processor really able to do thousands of computations every frame?

Yes the PPC Processor is godlike, I pray to it every morning.

I understand how it can execute code through moving and manipulating values, but how is the processor able to know when something happens in-game (like a character landing, for example)? When it knows that a memory value changes, does it know from checking to see if it changed, or is it 'told' by memory? Is the game constantly scanning every single value all the time to determine when something changes? This is a concept that I don't understand. Sorry if I am not making much sense.

I will have to briefly explain how the game engine functions to answer this question. Every in-game frame, each player has about 4 big functions that run. These functions are unique to each action state and are a big part of how the move functions. I'm talking about the move logic functions you may have seen in Crazy Hand. The big ones are IASA interrupt function (change action state with button inputs), animation interrupt function (change action state when an action state ends naturally), collision interrupt (change action state when interacting with the environment (ground to air, air to ground, wall interactions), and physics function.

What you're asking about pertains to the collision function. I'll use the aerial Falcon Punch collision function as an example. This collision function is unique to aerial Falcon Punch and runs every frame Falcon is in this state. It's main purpose is to determine if Falcon is still in the air by calling other in-game functions that check for this. These functions return 0 for still airborne, and 1 for touching the ground. When the collision function see's that it returned a 1, it enters Falcon into the grounded Falcon Punch action state. The grounded Falcon Punch has its own collision function that will run next frame. This function will check for if Falcon went from ground -> air and adjust his action state accordingly.

It may sound confusing and I'm sorry I can't explain it better at the moment but I hope this answered your question.

No, you made perfect sense, and thank you for taking the time to write an in-depth response.

LOL. That is pretty cool, but I guess their speed and accuracy is why we use computers, after all.

Okay...before I continue digging into the MUCH more complicated stuff, is there a way to get practice making an assembly code, converting it to Gecko, and injecting it into a game using the information you have given me? What did you do to learn? If there is like a simple change/project I should do (from the first step of looking through the Dolphin debug code to find values in memory, all the way to the final step of running the code in-game) that you think will help me get the hang of the way it works, then I would love to give it a go. Maybe doing this will help clear up any questions I have before I begin learning about the more complicated aspects {like how memory values for player values are stored at different offsets depending on which stage you are playing on (or at least I think they are)}.

I'd like to jump in and point out that the Offset values in MCM for static overwrites or injections can be DOL file offsets, or RAM addresses. So the step that UnclePunch mentions about taking the RAM Address and putting it into the converter can be skipped.

Also, you said that MCM inserts the gecko codehandler into the iso...does this mean that the game is able to run the gecko 'engine' in-game on its own, allowing for any gecko code to be run independently, or does it mean that the codes themselves are put into some format that the game reads as if it was in the game's code originally?

Is the game constantly scanning every single value all the time to determine when something changes? This is a concept that I don't understand. Sorry if I am not making much sense.

Well, slightly more than 8.1 million calculations per frame, to be exact.

To answer some of your questions in another way: essentially, Gecko codes are a language that's an extension of (or probably more accurately, a library that is written out of) the PowerPC's assembly, written in hex. So the codehandler's job is to, as you said, translate the code in the codelist (the list of Gecko codes you want to add to your game) into the format that the game runs with normally, which is assembly. So one Gecko code line might translate into multiple assembly commands, which culminate in doing something like overwrite some area of memory with some new user defined values or code. Like UnclePunch said, it does this every frame, which is why they're considered less efficient (though I think for some codetypes it can tell that a Gecko code doesn't need to be run and will skip it for that frame).

The processor never "knows", intuits, or is "told" that something has happened per se. It's possible to make timers, but typically things aren't running in response to events or triggers like you might see in higher level languages. The processor is only ever told to do such checks by code, explicitly, which is one of the things that the functions UnclePunch talked about do as they go about their business; for example, commands to read a specific memory address, store it in a register, compare it with a value in another register, and then zoom off to some other place in code based on the comparison result. So the game isn't constantly scanning all memory addresses for changes, but it is constantly looping over specific functions that each look at some specific places to see what is there, and conditionally branching to other functions, until it once again comes back around to the main loop and runs all the core functions again.

 

[Dodoshian]

Like UnclePunch said, it does this every frame, which is why they're considered less efficient

What do you mean? Gecko codes are less efficient than what? You said that a gecko code manipulates RAM addresses every frame, and this I understand. So how does the rest of start.dol (vanilla, non-Gecko parts) work?

the Offset values in MCM for static overwrites or injections can be DOL file offsets, or RAM addresses. So the step that UnclePunch mentions about taking the RAM Address and putting it into the converter can be skipped.

I don't quite understand. Why can this step be skipped? Maybe I am not understanding the difference between the RAM offsets and the DOL offsets. The DOL offsets are stored in start.dol, correct? And the RAM offsets are the code that the game is currently running, like the DOL code loaded into the game? Why do the two have different addresses for certain values? Did I mistakenly assume somewhere that the RAM addresses and DOL addresses are the exact same? I thought that since you can convert from one to the other that they are basically the same.

So start.dol holds all of the game's machine code, right?

So when you start the game, what is loaded into memory, and where does this come from?
I know that other files like Plxx.dat, stage files, audio files, etc. are loaded into the memory. What tells the game where to load this code? Are the values for things like action states and hitboxes pulled from the Plxx.dat and loaded in all at once, or are they always updating? I just don't understand, functionally, how a Gecko code is able to make changes. I understand that you said it is just

Also, why do RAM addresses move around, like if you go from from stage to stage? If the RAM addresses are loaded from the start.dol, which is a file that isn't dynamic, why do the addresses of values (like P1%) appear at different memory offsets if you play on battlefield as opposed to dreamland? It is entirely possible that this is a misconception I hold, though.

================

tl;dr: I don't understand the relationship between things like the Plxx.dat files, the start.dol, and other files with regards to how they are loaded into RAM. Since the addresses for values in RAM vary depending on the circumstances, how is a Gecko code able to consistently change a specific value? How does the whole puzzle fit together?

Ugh...just when I think I kind of understand it, I get super confused again. I am like a madman rambling.

Ah, well...back to writing my English paper.

 

[UnclePunch]

I don't quite understand. Why can this step be skipped? Maybe I am not understanding the difference between the RAM offsets and the DOL offsets. The DOL offsets are stored in start.dol, correct? And the RAM offsets are the code that the game is currently running, like the DOL code loaded into the game? Why do the two have different addresses for certain values? Did I mistakenly assume somewhere that the RAM addresses and DOL addresses are the exact same? I thought that since you can convert from one to the other that they are basically the same.

DRGN made it so MCM will automatically detect when you entered a mem offset into the dol offset field, and convert it automagically.

So start.dol holds all of the game's machine code, right?

In Melee's case, yes. A good amount of games load code from files within the disc to be used in addition to the .dol (Brawl does this as well as some Sega games).

So when you start the game, what is loaded into memory, and where does this come from?

The dol is loaded into RAM during some OS-level function. I don't know specifics about this but it is always done.

I know that other files like Plxx.dat, stage files, audio files, etc. are loaded into the memory. What tells the game where to load this code?

These files are loaded in via functions from within the .dol. The process usually is, run the file load function with a parameter being the file name string, some function within that searches the file tree to see where on the game disc the file is located, another function gets the length of the file, another function finds free memory for it, and another function reads in the data starting @ XXX that is length YYY and stores it at the free memory location. After this a pointer to the file is stored in a safe place so the game can access it easily.

I just don't understand, functionally, how a Gecko code is able to make changes. I understand that you said it is just

A very large portion (almost all) of Melee Gecko codes are modifying game code. What we're doing is finding how the code interacts with memory and the logic behind it and tweaking the assembly to do something slightly different. Combine the ability to do this with knowledge of where things are and what does what collected over the years, and you can make some powerful edits.

Also, why do RAM addresses move around, like if you go from from stage to stage? If the RAM addresses are loaded from the start.dol, which is a file that isn't dynamic, why do the addresses of values (like P1%) appear at different memory offsets if you play on battlefield as opposed to dreamland? It is entirely possible that this is a misconception I hold, though.

That's just the nature of memory allocation. Files and structures are stored where space is available. Kind of just a basic memory management thing. Depending on what is in the game's RAM at the time will dictate where the new stuff is stored. Stages/music files vary in size so memory won't be the same between two stages. What doesn't change is the code that interacts with these memory values, so the same codeline that increments damage % on Yoshi's is the same codeline that increments damage on Temple.

 

[DRGN]

Hey, UnclePunch , you want me to move this conversation to one of the Gecko or coding threads to keep this one dedicated to your code?

I don't quite understand. Why can this step be skipped? Maybe I am not understanding the difference between the RAM offsets and the DOL offsets. The DOL offsets are stored in start.dol, correct? And the RAM offsets are the code that the game is currently running, like the DOL code loaded into the game? Why do the two have different addresses for certain values? Did I mistakenly assume somewhere that the RAM addresses and DOL addresses are the exact same? I thought that since you can convert from one to the other that they are basically the same.

So start.dol holds all of the game's machine code, right?

So when you start the game, what is loaded into memory, and where does this come from?

As UnclePunch said, yeah, the DOL is the main "executable", containing the code that the processor runs through to run a GameCube game. This is loaded into RAM by the Apploader when the game boots up.

When we talk about DOL Offsets, we're referring to file position (i.e. where things are) within the file, such as for reading or writing. The position is in terms of the number of bytes from the start of the file (or chunk of data). So the beginning of the file is position zero, and position 0x200, for example, is 0x200 bytes from the start of the file data (offsets are usually given in hexadecimal, rather than decimal; note the "0x" at the start to denote that). Also note that we're talking about viewing/opening/reading the file as binary, where we're looking directly at the data in the file using a hex editor (unlike text when viewed in notepad, for example, where the file's binary is automatically decoded into human-readable text when you open it). The hexadecimal characters we're usually looking at is basically a more compact way of viewing, representing, or working with binary; e.g. "0111" in binary = just "7" in hex, and "01000100010100100100011101001110" = "4452474E". In the latter example, you're looking at 4 bytes of data, or 4 * 8 = 32 bits.

RAM Addresses are this same 'location' concept, except that it's in respect to an area of RAM rather than file data. Dolphin gets its own area of your system RAM allocated to it when you run it. Within that, Dolphin sets aside an area of RAM to treat (emulate) as GameCube memory, to store the GameCube game's files, and everything else the GameCube would use RAM for. The location of this GameCube RAM area (relative to the start of Dolphin's RAM space) is 0x80000000, which is the "base" address that other game addresses are referenced from. (This is why RAM Addresses always start with '0x80'.) So when the DOL is loaded into memory, its 'offset 0' isn't aligned with the game memory's offset 0 in RAM. Far from it, actually. Not only that, but multiple parts of the DOL are broken up and placed into different areas of memory (which is why you can't use one specific value difference for all conversions between the two different kinds of locations). So this is why I made the RAM Address Converter in MCM, which allows you to get a DOL file offset from a RAM address and vice-verca. Luckily, these individual dol sections are at least static for any particular game, and always load to the same place (determined by the DOL file itself).

What do you mean? Gecko codes are less efficient than what?

I meant less efficient than Static Overwrites and Injection Mods. Both of these kinds of mods are done outside of the game, before it's running. So there's nothing that is running during the game in order to put this code where it needs to be in RAM; it's loaded into RAM just the same as the vanilla code would have been when the file it's in is loaded.

A static overwrite would be, for example, simply changing some value in the code from one thing to another (in-place):

While an injection mod modifies code at some place slightly, adding a command to point to ("branch" to) new custom code which is stored elsewhere. The game then executes the custom code, and then goes (branches) back to where it left off (where it was before it left to execute the custom code). Thus, the custom code is essentially "injected" into the game's normal code and execution flow:

Unlike with a Gecko code, the custom code in this scenario is only ever executed in very specific situations (when the normal game execution reaches the place where the initial branch is, known as the "injection site"), for example if you wanted some code to execute only when the game is updating the percentage display, or when a character is crossing beyond a blastzone.

Interesting,
this was caused by projectile + melee hitbox collision skipping the rest of the collision bubble checks



The projectile hitting the white detection hitboxes caused the projectile + hurtbox check (among others) to be skipped, making raptor boost "invincible" to projectiles

Hey guys!

I'm hoping to find some help with a specific audio hack. I was wondering if it would be possible to output two mono signals out the red and white RCA, one of game sound, and one of music. I'm trying to make some really comprehensive and modular setups for player headphones and multi-track capture, and this would be an excellent feature. I'm not opposed to doing the legwork myself if it doesn't exist yet, but I never made any codes that specifically worked with audio before. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

I'm an Extremely New Rookie here! Just wondering if anyone has created a code that makes all sound in melee to be 50% Faster and prefferably 50% higher in pitch. This is just to go along with the 30 fps code.

 

[Savestate]

for those of y'all working with assembly, i found out that there's some assembler directives for the gnu assembler you can use to help make encoding floats/strings way more sane.

you can define float values with the .float directive and strings with the .string directive. normally .string doesn't ensure 4-byte alignment, but the .align directive takes care of that if you place it underneath. .align 2 will pad out where it's placed with zeros until it reaches 4-byte alignment. (implied .align 2, 0x00 since the fill pattern is omitted). also yes, the string is null terminated!

Before:

This thread will house a list of Gecko codes for Melee, along with a guide on how to use them with a softmodded Wii. Most of these codes will only work on Wii using Gecko OS Mod or DIOS MIOS, or in the Dolphin emulator.


Guide: SSBM codes on a Softmodded Wii

Spoiler: How to run Melee codes on a softmodded Wii

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage done to your Wii by using these tools.


Part 1

1. Download this SSBM Code Tools file.
2. Take everything in the "SD Root" folder and copy it to the root of your SD card. If you already have an 'apps' folder, it will merge with the one being copied.
3. Make sure your Wii is connected to a wireless network.

Part 2
(Note: If you already use other mods for USB loading or GC backup loading, skip this part)

1. Remove your Gamecube memory cards.
2. From the Homebrew Channel, run the IOS236 Installer.
3. Choose to install from network.
4. After installation is complete and you're back at the Homebrew Channel, it is safe to re-insert your memory cards.

Part 3
(Note: If you already use other mods for GC backup loading, skip this part)

1. From the Homebrew Channel, run the Homebrew MIOS Patcher.
2. Press A on your Gamecube controller to install the patch.

Part 4

1. On your PC, load Ocarina Code Manager, select "Open TXT file", and open GALE01.txt, located in the Ocarina Code Manager folder.
2. Check the codes you want included. I've added some of my favorite codes to the file, but you can also add your own.
3. Click "Export to GCT" and choose "store to file". Name the file GALE01.gct
4. Copy GALE01.gct to sd:/GeckoOSmod/codes/GALE01.gct

Starting the Game

1. Load Gecko OS Mod from the Homebrew Channel.
2. Enable Ocarina, the default hook type should be fine (VI, I believe)
3. Start the game!

Gecko Codes

NOTE: Most of these will NOT work as AR codes.

Spoiler: Stage Striking

Stage striking a la PM [Sham Rock]

Stage striking now works like it does in P:M
X = ban currently selected stage
Y = ban all stages that aren´t allowed in random, unban all that are allowed
Z = unban all
Banned stages can´t be selected anymore, however they can still be selected when someone chooses "Random".

More notes on the code.

The line "XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX" in the below code(s) need to be replaced with either
"9A900024 1E12001C" for the "black"
or
"9A900000 1E12001C" for the "white" version of the code.

Gameplay Mechanics Codes

Spoiler: Attacks that Deal Less than 1 Damage Have No Hitlag or DIability

Makes stale 1 dmg hitboxes (only affects some things with lots of hits) work like in versions 1.00 and 1.01 where they aren't A/S/DIable. Being able to ASDI these hits a full 3 units half a dozen times or more through the move makes some of them a joke to escape and bad in 1.02 and PAL. May be missing a couple here but the attacks it affects include the rapid hits on Zelda's f/u-smash and neutral-b, Samus' u-air and up-b, Peach's up-b, YL's up-b, Mario's up/down-b, Mewtwo's u-smash and n-air (bottom hitboxes only), ICs down-b (outer range), Ness' PKT1 (tail), and CF/Sheik/Kirby/Fox/Falco/Kirby/Link/YL's rapid jabs.

Spoiler: Ledge Invincibility Attrition

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.

Spoiler: Wall Bracing

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).

Spoiler: Stock Control/Crew Battle Replaces Handicap Mode

Essentially, the hack gets rid of damage modifier for handicap and replaces it with controllable stocks so that one player can spawn with say 6 stocks and another can spawn with 4.

When handicap is set to "ON" you can set custom stocks per player (1 stock - 9 stocks).

When handicap is set to "AUTO" you can set custom stock per player (1 stock - 9 stocks) just like when handicap is "ON." However, upon re-entering the character select screen, your handicap will be set to the amount of stocks you had at the end of the game. If you had zero stocks (as in you lost), the game will set your stock to the current stock setting (any stock amount higher than nine will be set nine). This allows for easy crew battles. You can still change the stocks manually if needed (rage quits etc.).

Spoiler: Capped (Tennis) Mode

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.

Code Notes

Spoiler: Input Delay Tester

Note: This code has reports of causing the game to freeze.

Description: This code tests the input delay of your setup. Plug into P1 and start a match. Press D-pad Right to enable and D-pad Up to disable. While enabled, your character will flash red at a rate of 120bpm. Tap D-pad Down at the exact moment your character flashes red. Each time you do so, your character's percent damage will change to reveal the number of frames between the red flash and your input. This is the approximate number of frames of input delay your TV has. Note that your human timing has a margin of error, so this will only give a rough estimate of your TV's input delay.

If you want to have the codes applied to the ISO, use Melee Code Manager. Almost all of these codes come with the program by default. If it's just for simple testing on Dolphin, right click the ISO on the list > Properties and Show Defaults, then add the code at the end of the GALE01 text file.

Hey, so I've been searching through this thread and haven't really found what I've been looking for and have a weird request.

Anyone know of a way to disable the announcer? Doesn't even have to be completely disabled, but preferably I would like it so he doesn't speak on the CSS menu.

I've looked through that google doc and the 20xx melee "facts" doc, but haven't really found anything I thought would help. I don't really know the ins-and-outs of the game code to figure it out.

Hi! I was wondering if somebody had a Gecko or AR to disable the background in Battlefield and Final Destination. I found some useful codes that allowed me to disable some stage features and even to display them in their basic geometry but I really would like to know if somebody had some codes specifically for those two stages. Thanks.

Apparently you can just use the '=' operator instead of .set:

I feel stupid for not knowing this.


Also, I did a couple of tests last night on the trophy collection array that suggests the following unused bools are safe to write to without any prerequisite code, and will not interfere with (or be clobbered by) trophy collection:

for 293 hwords at 8045C394:

    bits in mask 0x3F00 can be used to store variables in the memory card

It’s only 3/8ths of the space afforded by this mastercode, and it’s non-contiguous (though still index-able). The fact however that it can be done right out of vanilla melee is invaluable, since it then does not require a mastercode in the DOL, or a GCT file to keep the data valid. Even with the mastercode installed, these bits in particular are safer as they are not threatened by writes from vanilla trophy behavior if the mastercode blocking it is ever uninstalled.

I've actually been working on a second version of that stage geometry code, and was wondering about how I could get some pesky details that persist in spite of using the developer flags to black out certain stages. I developed this code a little while ago in part so that I could do some research into the problem. On its own it does nothing, but it lets you selectively disable the displays of any GObj, including the ones containing things like stage elements and particle effects -- which might help in selectively disabling certain aspects of a stage like the background.

There was a code I was working on a longer while ago that involved setting up new lighting scenarios for different scenes in final destination that might help me look into this. I'll try to dig that up soon and take a look. In general though, the circumstances will all be slightly different depending on the stage.

Hey, I was wondering if somebody could help me with a problem I'm having? To just summarize, I am currently not being able to find the controller address at all for some reason... I have seen this being used as the address in codes > 8046B108, but when I try to create a code with it, like a "Press UP on D-Pad to play as Master Hand" type thing, it doesn't ever work. I also have some other ideas with button conditionals, but I need some help with this please. Here is the code I was talking about right here, vvv

"D-Pad Up When Selecting Mario to play as Master Hand" (v1.02)
2846b108 00000008 < Button Conditional
243f0b40 081a0200 < RAM write 081a0200 to replace 08080200
cc000000 00000000 < On/Off Switch
e2000001 00000000 < End If

I'm still new to this so please let me know of anything I did wrong.

EDIT: I got it to work, although I'm wondering what the Male and Female Wireframes External IDs are?

 

[JoshuaMK]

Also, I created a character striking code, but in order to be able to individually strike each character would take over 100 strings of code with the method I'm using, so I was wondering if someone could tell me if there is a more efficient way of making this code work...

Currently the code stands as this,

Strike Mario Press Y (v1.02)
2846b108 00000800 < Button Conditional
043f0b40 08080000 < RAM write 08080000 to 08080200
cc000000 00000000 < On/Off Switch
2846b108 00000800 < Button Conditional
043f0b40 08080200 < RAM write 08080200 to 08080000
cc000000 00000000 < On/Off Switch

Again, this code does work, (By locking the character) I'm just wondering if I can make this code smaller, or if there is a more efficient method of doing this. Because I need this to work for ALL characters.

EDIT: For some reason I can't get Z to work as a button conditional as well down, left, and right on the D-Pad??? + I shortened the code by one line by getting rid of the second On/Off Switch which proved useless.

Hey, welcome to the workshop! Nice job with this code; it’s very informative. I’ve never really looked into CSS mechanics before, and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered those button gecko opcodes.

For info on things like character IDs and data offsets, check out the SSBM Data Sheet mentioned in this thread.

---

I used a memory breakpoint on that data address you were changing for Mario in your striking code, and found a point in a large update function for the CSS that seems to interpret button presses to update the menu. The line at 80260c14 can be used to hitch a ride.

If you create an injection opcode at this point, then you can check the state of each cursor's current button presses from saved r28, and access data in volatile r3 to change the lock status like you were doing with Mario -- but for the currently highlighted character underneath the cursor. This should give you a very efficient context from which to write a short code that can apply to any character.


One problem with this is that the strikes are all reset when the CSS is re-loaded. I found however that if you NOP the instruction at 80264808 then you can cause the game to just load all characters as though they were unlocked by default -- and any strikes you make will have the locked status preserved between CSS loads there-after.


Here's an example of these small modifications, with some heavily commented ASM for the injection code:

C2260C14 00000003 # Injection
73800800 88030002
41A2000C 68000002
98030002 00000000
04264808 60000000 # NOP



1.02 ------ 80260c14 --- 88030002 -> Branch
# inject code at CSS input monitor function
# -- just before bools are checked for a highlighted character

# context:
# register r0 is not currently in use
# r3  = address of highlighted character CSS data
# r28 = controller input bools for "instant" button presses

andi. r0, r28, 0x800
# the bit mask 0x800 will check for Y button presses in r28
# the AND mask result is put in r0 temporarily, so it can be checked for TRUE/FALSE
# the comparison stores the result in CR, so r0 is free to use again

Wow, this is great! I'm really thankful that you took the time to write all that out, because I am not good at reading ASM and would have gotten lost for sure...
Speaking of that, it's also really useful that you described everything you did, because that will help me learn more about ASM!

I only take credit for having created the Gecko version of this code that led to this version by Punkline. I then edited the button conditional to Z to keep from messing up what costume you have picked. Again, thank you Punkline for helping me out with this!

What did you set your breakpoint to in order to see the piggyback address? I'm trying to learn how to do that stuff.

What did you set your breakpoint to in order to see the piggyback address? I'm trying to learn how to do that stuff.

I used a memory breakpoint on the address you used in your gecko overwrites to address 803f0b40:
‘043f0b40 08080000 < RAM write 08080000 to 08080200’


To have debug dolphin break when the byte you were modifying gets read or written, you can create a special data breakpoint by clicking the +MBP button in the breakpoint panel. (If you can't find the breakpoint panel, make sure you have have it enabled by going to view -> breakpoints.)

The menu that pops up for +MBP lets you specify a range of addresses that is accurate to the byte instead of full words, so you can reference just the byte in question by adding 2 to the address:

Not specifying the address as part of a range might cause the MBP to not catch references to single bytes that aren't aligned with the word, so I usually use ranges instead of just single addresses. Using a range that includes this byte (even if it's ONLY this byte) will show us where in the code it is referenced as the code executes.

With the memory breakpoint set up like shown above, the game will pause when the byte storing the lock variable for Mario’s CSS icon is read from, or written to. This includes any functions that reference mario as part of a loop, like you can see when the CSS initializes:

Thank you! This is gonna be really helpful!

Goodness gracious the problems won't stop... I was trying to set up a better Debugging Dolphin setup, and the one I'm currently situated with, being
5.0-3977, it and everything 5.0 (Because I did test this), always cant detect the code, nor the Memory, when it is actively playing the game. This is something that works a-okay in anything 4.0 and earlier, even Memory engine doesn't work right because of this. It's only when I pause the emulation that codes and memory suddenly pop up fine... any help with this?

I couldn't get pics to upload here so just use the link. Also I don't think it tracks it properly even when paused...

EDIT: BTW I am using this version because it is included with Melee Toolbox, and I heard is is the least buggy when it comes to debugging while also supporting Memory Engine.

I’ve found sometimes that memory breakpoints won’t trigger for me unless I run Debug Dolphin as an administrator. Make sure you’re doing that if MBPs aren’t causing the game to pause. I find that I also need to do this with Memory Engine before it will hook into Dolphin.


Concerning the code view: in 5.0+ the disassembler will only print when the game is paused, and will then show the location that the game was paused at. This shouldn't affect the behavior of breakpoints if you are running as an administrator, but it does mean that you can't browse the disassembly while the game is live like was possible in older versions. (I remember reading something about how that was unstable, but I don't remember the details.)

Breakpoints are used to pause EXACTLY at a target, making that the focus of the disassembler on break. If you just pause normally though, it will end up displaying some random line in the game code that it happened to be on when you pressed pause. While paused, you can type in a target address to look at, or browse your symbols map.

(BTW, I highly recommend installing the community symbol map. It will fill out some function names in the code view; which can then be browsed, and will be referenced in branch instructions. You can copy disassembled functions from the code view as text if the function is mapped, which can be useful for analyzing externally.)

---

Displayed memory values will also only update when the game is paused, stepped through, or when clicking on the values in the memory panel. I usually rely on Memory Engine (or sometimes Cheat Engine with an older version of Dolphin) if I want to watch a value as it updates in real-time, but you can also use the Memory Watch panel to set up some quick addresses to watch within Dolphin.

I don’t update Dolphin very often, but I’m currently using build 5.0-4681 for use with Memory Engine. It’s probably not very different from the version you’re using, but I’ve had no problems with it aside from some broken icon graphics and a benign error message that pops up when I launch with the log panel enabled.

When using Cheat Engine, I use build 5.0-1103; as well as a special CE setup, detailed in this thread.

ME does most of what CE does with less hassle, so I use that most of the time. CE has better tools though for choking your scans’ search ranges, defining value labels for a watch entry, evaluating expressions, opening multiple memory viewers simultaneously, copying/pasting watch entries, copying/pasting raw hex data, and better features for creating and saving organized watch lists. The graphical memory viewer is also particularly handy for recognizing structural patterns in big blocks of unknown data.

Oh okay then! Knowing now how it works it isn't so much of a problem then to use now that I know how this works... Although a definite fix was running Memory Engine in Admin mode, so thanks for that!

Could someone point me to a code that unlocks Sound Test if possible? Thanks!

Could someone point me to a code that unlocks Sound Test if possible? Thanks!

There is a code in the original post in this thread that'll do it for you, hidden in a spoiler.

I've also just now updated this sound test code to force the option to be unlocked in a way that's saved to the memory card.
