Melee Gecko Codes + Guide and Discussion

[Dan Salvato]

Is there a way to convert these codes to v1.00?

They have to be converted by hand by someone who knows what they're doing. It's a pretty lengthy process.

 

[Kou]

Has someone ever explained that process somewhere?

 

[ShockSlayer]

I think there used to be a guide or something on AR central, the offsets are different and they also scale depending on where in the code they are, I think. Also IE's codes are different than your standard code so that probably brings it's own challenges.

[kiw1]

is there a way to change the input delay timer? right now it seems like you start to predict the timing and it gets too low (sometimes i get 1% and i got way more lag for sure)

I was testing out these codes in dolphin, and I found 2 problems I was hoping you could address.

1: The L-Cancel training wheels code doesn't work, as dolphin spits out an error about it containing a master code that is unnecessary, and it apparently chooses to ignore the code as such. The other codes work fine. I'm sure it works great on an actual Wii/GCN but it makes dolphin have a sad.
2: The rolling = death thing works great, but I was wondering if you could make it only affect certain ports? I tried it out vs a CPU and it was rather unfulfilling seeing them SD constantly. I wanted to try to break my habit of rollspamming by fighting some CPUs until the muscle memory was gone, but I can't really do that when they just keep dying randomly.

It's a Gecko code, not an AR code. Add it to Gecko codes.

 

[kiw1]

is there a reason why the widescreen hack code causes desyncs in online play? (even when both are using this code) ?

 

[Malurth]

Aha. Thank you.

Is there an infinite shield code for gecko?

 

[el Gusto]

Is there an infinite shield code for gecko?

Use http://gbatemp.net/threads/use-gamecube-cheats-with-neogamma.313218/ with codes from for example http://viper.shadowflareindustries.com/antigsc/?codes&dev=ar&system=gcus&game=ssbmv12/playercodes .

EDIT:
Testing this myself tonight. If there is a better way, I would like to be notified. Google wasn't as helpful as usual when I tried to learn how to do this.

 

[el Gusto]

Didn't work. I will get into .dol hacking instead.

 

[Goatlink]

if you knew where the animation was pointed to in Falcon's .dat, I could easily do this

do you think it would be possible to add in win screen animations for giga bowser and wireframes so the game doesn't crash when they win?

 

[Kadano]

I have a request: activating debug mode’s Y+↓ frame text even when in normal mode. It would be really useful for creating tutorials. I know I could just use develop mode, but that removes damage staling and proper C-stick usage which isn’t acceptable.

Also, a while ago I stumbled across an excellent video guide on how to read Melee code and use Dolphin’s search function. If somebody here has the link, please give it to me, I can’t find it anymore.

 

[Rep]

Does anyone know what causes the blue/yellow flash while using the Flash on L-Cancel hack? I've got my .Dol modded, and usually the characters will flash white, just like invincibility, but occasionally (usually when the player is doing combos), the L-cancel flashing colors will be yellow and blue. I've heard multiple reasons for this, but a straight answer from the creator, InternetExplorer, would be nice.

Pretty sure I don't properly set all eight color values when I apply the flash, so if some of them are already set to a certain value then the color gets messed up.

IE6-

any possibility of getting taunt wars to work in dolphin netplay? maybe somehow compile a cracked iso the two users could download.

Just add it as a Gecko code to Dolphin and it will work fine. I even write all my codes using Dolphin.

 

[Sashimi]

Is there a way to get hitboxes to show in regular game modes?

Would it cause a desync if this code were used during netplay?

 

[Dan Salvato]

I ported the latest widescreen code to v1.00 for use at a tournament later today. Just in case anyone is interested or has been looking for it. It's in the OP.

 

[TerryJ]

Is there any way you could make an endless Classic mode or something? It's a great way to play against lots of different characters quickly but I hate having to do the credits and stuff. All the code would need to do is make it so you don't advance past the first stage in Classic mode.

IE doesn't accept cool requests anymore.

Just messin' with you IE; we all love ya

Well, that would actually be more difficult than it sounds. I believe the character list is generated when you start Classic mode, so I'd have to figure out how to give you a new character every time. If it was a one-line code that took 15 minutes I'd probably do it.

How about turning off items for 1P mode, or better yet, having it set to whatever Melee mode has set?

 

[TerryJ]

One more thing I've been meaning to ask. Is there really a code to make FIGUREGET the trophy dropping stage playable? I've read that there is somewhere but days spent on Google say otherwise. Disabling the trophy from spawning might do the trick, but if it could be playable with them dropping it would be crazy fun.

If you make any one code that I've requested, please let it be this one. <3

I was trying out the salty rematch code the other day and noticed that it would only work for player1.
Went through your tutorial on twitch, reverse-engineered your code and found the reason for it

That's brilliant, great job dude. Certain codes such as that one were designed with little testing so I'm happy you caught this. Hope it was a fun learning experience :]

Came across this while checking stuff for other codes i´m planing to write.
This code skips the result screen after VS matches entirely, meaning it saves 1 loading cycle from the disk and in return less time is wasted in between matches.
I haven´t had a melee disk since 2006 so would please someone spare 5 minutes and test this for me on a Wii?

Would you be interested in applying for the Project M Back Room? I think you'd be a great help in some of our plans for Project M moving forward.

I tested 1.0 on Dolphin.
I confirmed that it worked well on Dolphin.

Gotta take care of a few melee hacks first. But after that sure.

 

[Kou]

NOT me, My smash friend, Ato made a new ASM cheat.

”The Stock Handicap"!!
http://atokigedesu.github.io/ssbm_cheat_code.html
This is dol mod and for v1.00.

When the game starts, input your controllers D-pad.
・Up of D-pad -> minus 1 stock
・Right of D-pad -> minus 2 stocks
・Down of D-pad -> minus 3 stocks
・Left of D-pad -> minus 4 stocks (in the general ruleset(4 stocks battle), the game will finish immediately lol)


I think this cheat is so convenient for the crew battle in the big event.
We will not have to suicide to adjust stocks in the crew battle any more.
It makes the process of a event be shorten.



*In addition*
I tested on Dolphin and on DiosMios of Wii.
On Dolphin, it worked correctly.
But on Wii, it didn't work and freeze the game before start the game.

I'll tell him about this problem.

 

[Todd Bonney]

Does it prevent changing stocks after "Go!"?

 

[Kou]

If you are pressing D-pad when a set is being loaded, stocks will decrease at the beginning of the set.

If anyone of you tried the old "skip result screen"-codes, you probably noticed that the stock counter never showed up.
That´s because the value of how many stocks you´ve taken gets updated somewhere in the result screen.
This code instead uses the stock counter to show the placement of the last match (1st place will have 1 star, 2nd place 2 and so on).
If you quit out of a match it will show who had the stock-lead at the moment.

The only time it doesn´t skip it is after the sudden death if a timed match ends in a draw.

Warning: when using this code you will NOT unlock anything you would normally after a match (new stages/characters etc), only use it together with save files where you have already unlocked everything

Attached a txt with my notes in case someone is curious about memory addresses used and whatnot.

That's brilliant. Very innovative way of using the stock stars.

 

[Dan Salvato]

By the way, you may have noticed this thread has been stickied and renamed. That's because it will be turned into a general codes thread, rather than a "my codes" thread. It will be great to have a centralized resource to list and download Melee codes and the necessary tools for them.

If there are any codes you'd like to contribute to the main post, please either post it here or PM me and I will add it. There are MANY old codes that deserve to be added here.

 

[Jazriel]

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but is there a code for turning off items in 1P through Dolphin? I don't know much about this AR/Gecko stuff. Also has anyone managed to make something so that hitboxes are always displayed?

 

[Achilles1515]

If I set a memory breakpoint that brings me to here, how do I know where it was in the code a few steps behind this (because its not right above it...)? I need to figure out how the current value of register 0 got there.
