Helder's Sega Saturn Codes

[Helder]

Just made some new Game Shark/PAR codes for Radiant Silvergun (J), these are ASM so they cover both player. I hope to add more codes and more games to this thread as I make them, feel free to contribute or request something but be aware the Saturn has very few code types which limit what can be made.

Even though the Saturn Gameshark is limited, there should be some good codes to be made like Invincibility you think?


A little off topic:
I have a model 1 Saturn. Best Xmas gift I ever recieved back in 1996. I also have the Saturn Gameshark too. I bought it way back when at Toys R' Us lol. I actually bought it, brought it home and it didn't work (so I thought). I brought it back and they only had 2 at the store. I exchanged for the other one and brought it home to try it and it wouldn't work either. I found out that the contacts on the Gameshark were not quite fitting in the Saturn. So to make it wok I have to put it in, and pull it up a bit so the contacts match.

Would you be able to find any codes for Nekketsu Oyako - Hot Blooded Family (J)?

[Hacc]

Do you test your codes on an actual Saturn using a cheat device? Joker command codes are possible since I saw some posted on a Japanese site when I was figuring out how to use CEP with SSF. I knew they were since the AR has the "D" command. I'm not sure what commands the GameShark has. I don't have any requests at the moment.

I should be contributing some ASM codes once I figure out the Yabause debugger. My unreleased RAM hacks need to be formatted properly (not many). This was when I was using RAM dumps made with Yabause, and didn't know that the Saturn used big-endian.

I had a similar issue with mine recently but way back in the day it worked fine, I just said screw it and use my PAR/Ram cart/4in1 which does the same.

If I can find the iso I can look at it.

Just tested them on the Emulator but the addresses all match existing codes so I bet they will work,as for the D type code we just need to find the pad read address for the game and instant Joker lol. I will test the codes out in my real Hardware when I get the chance.

[Hacc]

The pad addresses can be found the same way as PS1. I've corrected my personal list to match this one. I use to just view my SS dumps in PS2DIS. The values were in little-endian format. I was mainly after button cheats (keep forgetting to post the ones I found). Here are the button values:

Nice this will help to find the addresses super easily now.

[orcanaoftime]

I'm excited about this thread! I have my Saturn hooked up here in my living room, I'm going to get my Saturn games from my closet and request some codes if it's ok helder?

[Helder]

Sure it will give me something new to do while working lol, be sure to look at the BSFree section for codes also so you don't request existing codes.

[Helder]

Would you be able to find any codes for Nekketsu Oyako - Hot Blooded Family (J)?

There ya go, as for the ammo its not a static address I wish this worked in the debugger so I could trace it back to the instruction and NOP it. I will make the stage codes later.

Excellent helder!

I'm bringing my Saturn games down to my living room from my bedroom closet tomorrow hopefully. I will have some requests then!

What is the difference between the 2 health codes for Megaman X3?

[Helder]

One is the standard ram code that everyone can make and every game has and the other is the routine that actually makes the ram changes, so its like the GG version of a PAR code.

[Hacc]

I think the weird side effect of the joker code activating all the other codes is because of the enable code itself. It's like this on the PS2 as well. Depending on the type of hook you make for your enable code, your codes and game will act funny. Try making an enable code in the pad routine (if that is possible) and see what happens then.

[Helder]

Good Idea, odd thing too was I used a different Master code and some codes worked like they are supposed to and others didn't then I tried this posted Master code and the other codes that didn't work worked and the others didn't till I tried to activate them during a boss fight.Well I plan to make afew more codes for the game and if anyone has any requests post here or I will just randomly hack different games.
