Helder's Sega Saturn Codes

[MathUser]

So, could you hack a master code for castlevania that don't require holding the reset button? Or is there a reason the reset button must be held? Some codes dont seem to work long with the enable code, like always running code. Alucard just runs once then quits.

[Helder]

The way the GS works on the Saturn is not like the PSX especially the Joker commands which sucks since this game could have had more codes working properly. Only ASM codes work perfectly once they activate once, I would love to have someone rewrite the code engine but I'm not familiar with coding programs for the Saturn. So we have to deal with what we got.

How are the Panzer Dragoon Saga codes supposed to work on the system itself? (http://gamehacking.org/game/84339)
I put in the boot code correctly, but I still get the "Please remove the cartridge" message if I turn on any of the additional codes. They work fine on SSF (Though Max EXP seems to make it impossible to actually level up), but I still don't know how one other person managed to do this.

[Helder]

You're playing on the real console correct? I'll have to take a look at the Assembly to see if I can defeat the whole check but since my Saturn is in storage you will have to be my guinea pig hehe and test the codes when I make them.

I'm sorry, were you waiting for a reply? I'd be glad to test them out and give feedback.

[Helder]

This damn game crashes the emulator on MESS right after the Andromeda screen so I can't even get in to the game to try things but I did test the code on Yaubuse emulator with the AR/GS code to skip that message and it worked if I manually edited the code in since the AR Rom doesn't actually make cheats work. So you still get the message even with the proper boot code? What master code are you using?

[AgentSkyblueM7]

Sorry, I just now checked for a response. The master code was:

F6000914 C305
B6002800 0000

Apparently this is the default Master Code for my Action Replay whenever I add a new title, but I checked on several websites that it's the one would make the boot code work (and it did). Is there something wrong about it? It seemed like a lot of games used it.

[Helder]

So code worked but you're getting some other error?

[AgentSkyblueM7]

At least the boot code works, but I get the message if any other code is entered alongside it. I even tried it on a patched disc that doesn't require the boot code to be entered.

[Helder]

Try a joker code with your codes, one code needs the Joker only since the way the AR handles jokers in a fucked up way and activate them when in game.

[AgentSkyblueM7]

I've only found the joker for up on the control pad. What are the others?

I've only found the joker for up on the control pad. What are the others?

Edit: Nope, it still detects anything that isn't the boot code.

[lee4]

you talking about this right?

[Helder]

What did you do lee4 to get that message? I'd like to see if I can find the ASM code to get rid of it.

I had AR cart option enable in yabause
to simulate this error for this Panzer Dragoon Saga game
