When I load up USB loader, there are no games om screen, in dios mios they show up... ANy reason for this?

Check USB Loader settings. I had to play around with it to get it to work.

ok dumb question, what all do you have on your usb then? Im guessing the usb loader/ installation files on sd and the game iso on the actual USB?

Sounds about right.

what format would the USB be in? NOT FAT32 right?

in dios mios booter, hit B and it will bring you to an options menu. then hit R and the next page will have a "cheats" toggle. turn that baby on.
and yes, when I said my path had brackets in it I meant it was
sd:\games\[GALE01]\

I figured it was time for me to learn ASM and make a code out of it, so I took your original "Always Skip Results Screen" code and modified it so that it does, in fact, keep track of player's KO totals like normal. This became a hell of a little mini-project once I found out that the game doesn't keep a running total of KOs for a given player. It separately records how many kills a player has on each other player, and these values just get added together at the Results Screen. So after each game, P1's previous kills need to be pulled up and then his kills on P2, P3, and P4 need to be added to this value and then stored back in the rightful memory location. And then repeat this same procedure for Players 2, 3, and 4.....
Anyway, here is the new code:

I feel like Im missing something obvious but, I want to use dios mios to play ssbm with ocarina cheats. Where should the cheats be in relation to the dios mios folder?
I have cheats in the Gecko OS like IE. There isnt a way to put the cheat codes into Dios Mios is there?

I use DIOS MIOS with CFG Loader. It detects the GCN games just fine just like any other games, and I can enable Ocarina for codes. No special configuration was ever required for me.
Sempai
Smash Ace
so How do you use cfg loader with dios mios?
I dont understand, is it you go into cfg loader fiddle with some options then go over and boot the game on dios mios?
Mine doesnt seem to detect any games. My game iso is under games/GALE01/game.iso So Im veryconfused that nothing is showing up?
Edit-I dropped Gecko OS and am sticking to DOL modding, and its worked perfectly ever since

That´s my boy.
Have you checked if everything is okay with the debug menu?
should include
cmpwi r11,32
beq- 0x(to 1 line after li r0,0)
somewhere in the header
r11 = 20 (32 dec) when you are in the debug menu

Thanks for notifying me of this. It did break the debug menu. I'll update it all right now.

Just a thought guys, is there a way to change the CPU 'type'? Normally it would bring the 'NORMAL' type when playing against the CPU in versus, I was thinking the 'COOPERATE' type would be a good replacement since it actually runs, and I've also seen some short hopped aerials from that type as well (so it's slightly less stupid). If you play around with the CPUTYPE SET in debug menu you'd understand what I mean.

- Filling an Old Request -
I saw some codes on Arcentral relating to changing the starting stamina HP. They didn't work....but gave me some clues as to where this value is stored. So I did some poking around and found it.
500% Stamina Mode - All Players
(Gecko, AR) (1.02)
024530E4 000001F4
02453F74 000001F4
02454E04 000001F4
02455C94 000001F4
Line 1 of that code is for P1 and going down, line 4 is for P4's starting percent. You could take one of those lines out and that player will have the normal 150%.
Also, 1F4 is the hex value for 500. That can be changed to any number you'd like.
When a character gets hit in stamina mode, the total damage they have taken on the stock gets subtracted from this value that is modified, above. That total is what is displayed on the screen. So if you started a game with 500%, got damaged down to 400%, then manually edited this memory value (Debug Dolphin, GeckoUSB, or used something like a button activator to enable a new cheat to change this value) to, say 1F9 (505), then your onscreen percent would immediately be changed to 405%. The game is constantly doing that subtraction and looking at the memory value that this code edits. Just a fun fact.

could you find out how the game calculates the KB in stamina mode?
1ampercent
Smash Journeyman
For me it works in 1 Player mode as well, Training mode platform when respawning is always Red.
I just tested your stamina mode code and it works, though sometimes it takes a little while for the % to reset during multiple stamina matches, but other than that it's all working fine.
According to my tests, KB seems to be the same throughout the match, but moves can still stale which reduce KB slightly. So it shouldn't too hard to calculate if that's true.
If playing on Yoshi's Story, some super lightweight characters are able to die early if DI is poor,via attacks such as Marth's tippered fsmash, Roy's sweetspot fsmash, Jiggly's rest etc...
Jigglypuff could possibly die to reverse Blazer from Roy, but could also survive Marth's Dair spike. Some fun facts I guess.

Thanks for this. Yeah that statement was very false....I think I fixed it though. I updated the code in the original post.
Btw, yes we can change the CPU AI and I do know how to do this. I'm trying to integrate that info in an upcoming "important discovery" post, among other things...

it just always seemed like the game treats people like they're around 30ish dmg when using stamina. for example, when you're at 1 hp you don't seem to be launched as far as you would when at 149%

Well I get everything running now, except this ocarina loader.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to get it to run with wiiflow.
The dols were pretty easy, but the ocarina stuff just doesnt work. I only really want lcancel flash and white shield stun lol
Anyway, I go into ocarina and go to GC settings and set the hook type to VI and ocarina to on. Then I go to wiiflow, and it says no cheat codes exist so I click download. It gives me 4 cheats (the number I had selected on the manager) but they arent the same. They are 4 random cheats.
Am I doing something basic wrong or? The gct file from ocarina is saved in pretty much every codes file on my sd card. codes in the ocarina as well as willflow.
Ty for everyone who has helped me so far. Can I get one more ? :D
Edit-Dropped Ocarina for strictly Dol modding.

I actually discovered something yesterday that turns my previous code that "wasn't very good" into it working in the way that I'd like. I'll try and put it all together and figure out the [more] final code during my next session and then post it here. Until then, I have to finish schoolwork....sigh.

This is almost perfect. In addition to hitboxes, it also allows setting the different CPU types. I actually find EVZELDA often DI's away, and is not annoying where it runs away constantly or mindlessly runs up and jabs constantly either. AIR is pretty good too. Anyway, there's still the problem that in develop mode there is no stale moves decay. Could that be implemented too? Because than you could play w/ hitboxes, c-stick function, and stale moves and it'd be just like a normal game. I have no idea why develop mode doesn't do stale moves though so it may be hard to figure out.
Achilles1515
Smash Master
Kadano and I were talking about this a few days ago. I didn't realize the staling issue until he mentioned it to me. I have no idea if move staling is like an on/off switch somewhere that gets triggered when going into Develop mode, or if it's something much more complex than that. I'll try and take a look into it when I get a chance, but as of now, I have no idea where to search.

Can someone explain how endif statements work with gecko?
How would
E2000001 80008000
be different than
E2000005 80008000
or
E2000001 00000000

(what I learned about endifs after writing my colored revival platform code)
First and foremost, an endif is basically a curly brace at the end of an if statement when typing one normally. It literally ends an opened if. It also clears the code execution status and sets it back to true, meaning the following code lines will be executed.
E2000001 applys one endif. And E2000005 will apply 5 endifs (would use if you had 5 if statements still open...)
The second word in those lines is for resetting the base and pointer address.
E20000N XXXXYYYY
So if you had the code
E2000001 81008000
04123456 00000000
Instead of writing 00000000 to 80123456 (like you normally would think), it would add 123456 to your newly designated base address of 81000000. So it would write 00000000 to 81123456. The same applies to pointers (which I am not all that familiar with...). Writing 00000000 to the second word of the terminator keeps the base and pointer address at whatever they are currently set to.
In a nutshell, you only need to use 80008000 when you change one of those addresses in your code using codetypes such as 40,42,44,46,48,4a,4c, and those same ones but with a 5 instead of a 4 (for pointers). Otherwise, just use 00000000. It is very important to set it back to 80008000 (normal) at the end of your code if you do change it though, otherwise the following codes you have applied will use your modified base/pointer address and will likely not work as intended (unless the following codes reset the address at the beginning...which no ones does).
Back to endifs -
Say you wanted to write a code that had two if statements nested within another if statement like so:
if (....)
{
In Gecko, you would write this (using 16bit if statements for the example and 0's as to what those if statements are comparing to)
28______ 00000000
To avoid writing so many endif terminator lines, Gecko has built in shortcuts. Because there are only 16 & 32 bit if statements, the last bit in the first word of your if statement will always be even. 28123456 <--- this one. If you make this a 7 instead of a 6, then it will apply and endif and then start the regular if statement comparing 80123456 (not 123457!) To reemphasize,
28123457 00000000
is doing
endif
if the value at address 80123456 equals 00000000
......
So, the more efficient way to write the above example would be:
28______ 0000000
I hope this clears some stuff up. Let me know if you have any more questions.

N=number of endifs
ba = 0xXXXX0000

I´m having some trouble using these codes in Dolphin (4.0), whenever I have one of them activated, Dolphin crashes (all I see is a black screen and I have to restart Dolphin). I have a Melee iso 1.02 and the correct codes for this version.
Do I have to enable them via GeckoOS and a virtual SD-Card to make them work?

Can someone port these to 1.0? I have a start (I think), but these codes are more difficult than usual because they're ASM. The yellow shield stun seems like it should be simple, but I can't figure out what offset to write the ASM string. If someone can at least give me some direction I will be happy to work on it and test it.
I own 1.0 and have my Wii set up to run Gecko codes for it. I don't know how to USB load a 1.02 ISO and then load codes for that, and I really don't want to do that anyway. I just want these 2 codes to work

I actually remembered I had found this and tried to convert them to Gecko Codes (I want them to be codes, not dol edits, based on how I want to use them with the game I own). I tried doing this by using the 04 function and adding 3420 (in hex) to the dol addresses you listed. It crashed on entering the game. I have several more ideas on how to port that so I'll try every angle I can think of and report back.

04004B68 48066B50I listed IE cause he first came up with the code obviously, but the offsets I used are based off the DOL offsets which Standardtoaster had found for 1.00. I put quite a bit of work figuring out how to connect the pointers and everything to work. I learned a lot and am really glad I got it to work.
I also made a hilarious mistake on the flash on L-cancel. If you change line 11 to 04004a40 480BB358 (just +4 of this code) then you will blink on L-cancel until your next attack.
I have tested these and you could add them to the OP.

Turn "Yellow" is much better !!
Could you also make this code for dol mod?

Just to be clear, Internet Explorer made a code on page 6 for v1.02 for the yellow flash, and I just converted it to v1.00. I am pretty sure I could make a DOL mod out of it. Do you want it for 1.00? I could do 1.00 or 1.02 easily, but 1.01 or PALl would be more effort because I'd have to figure out what the offsets are, and I don't even have those ISO's on hand. In any case, I probably won't get to it for a few days.

I had a little downtime cause I'm doing a little programming and the thing takes like 2 min to solve (not my fault), anyway I remembered I could probably just use standardtoaster's dol mod and edit it slightly. I haven't tested this yet, but I THINK this should work:
Turn Yellow During Shieldstun .dol Melee 1.0
0x1700
7F03C378 81C30070
2C0E00B5 40820038
3DC0C200 91C30518
91C3051C 91C30520
91C30524 39E00000
91E30528 91E3052C
91E30530 91E30534
91E30520 39E00091
99E30564 8001007C
48066F70
0x68294 - 8001007C -> 4BF9904C
If that doesn't work I can look into it more. Try it out if you get the chance. I may or may not get around to it soon. In any case, all the credit goes to Internet Explorer and standardtoaster.

For now, I tested it on Dolphin. It worked very well!
Thanks a lot!!

Just to let you know, the 16:9 Widescreen ( v1.02) code that is in the first post is missing a line. As it is, the current code crashes the game on load. I believe it should be this:
C2021ABC 00000002
39C00001 38600006
60000000 00000000
C236A4A8 00000007
C03F0034 2C0E0001
41820024 3C004080
90010030 3C004040
90010034 C0010030
EC210032 C0010034
EC210024 39C00000
281E0000 00000000 <-------------The missing line
I don't know much about how Gecko codes work or assembly (just some basic MIPS stuff from class XD) but by comparing the new one and the "Code Notes" version I saw that the last line seemed to be missing. I added it in, and the game doesn't crash anymore and is in glorious widescreen with an un-stretched HUD.

I think that missing line you pointed out, got added to the bottom of the 1.00 widescreen code instead (theres two of those lines there). Thanks for pointing this out.
