Coin Ops - Arcade ROM hacks

[BigBossman]

I finally managed to buy an Original Xbox with XBMC that had the Coin Ops emulator on it (plus NES, Sega Master System, & SNES emulators. The NES emulator is the only other one that has a cheat option on it. The SNES & Mater System ones don't). After tinkiering with it I managed to find a nifty cheat device built into it. I don't know what version of Coin Ops I have (its not Version 5) but, it works & there's tons of games already on it (There some it doesn't have that I'd like to have added).

I've been fiddling with two of my favorite arcade games of all time, Double Dragon 1 & Double Dragon 2. I didn't actually bring the codes that I found with me, but I did manage to remember one. While the address is exactly the same & has the same effect, each game has it's own glitches. I don't see a ROM hacks database, nor have I seen any hacks posted relating to this game on other sites, so here goes:

I'd still like to find a skin & clothing color modifier for both enemies & players (if they exist). I will have more hacks for these games coming soon.

Double Dragon

Player 1 Character Modifier
03A3 ??
Values
00 - Billy Lee
01 - Jimmy Lee
02 - Machine Gun Guy (glitchy)
03 - Jeff (Enemy similar to Bill & Jimmy Lee)
04 - White Abobo
05 - Black Abobo
06 - White Bolo
07 - Black Bolo
08 - Williams
09 - Rowper
0A - Linda (can also do back elbow attacks)
0B - Jimmy Lee? (looks just like the Lee Brothers with Red Hair & different colored attire)
0C - Oil Drum
0D - Box
0E - Boulder
0F - Knife
10 - Bat
11 - Dynamite
12 - Whip

NOTE: This will change your appearance, but will cause your character to rapidly flicker back & forth between Billy Lee & The character you wish to become. Sometimes the flickering will stop when the same character comes out. To play as the Green Abobo / Bolo, use values 05 & 07, & when you invade the enemy's base, he will turn from black to green. Also some attacks & actions can't be used with other characters. You can still climb ladders & jump even as characters that don't normally do that. Surprisingly the Abobo & Bolo characters have jump animations. When you complete a stage, the character will change skin & clothing color automatically. If you play as the Machine Gun Guy or any of the weapons, you can't attack the enemies.

Double Dragon 2: The Revenge

Player 1 Character Modifier
03A3 ??
Values
00 - Billy Lee

02 - Machine Gun Guy (glitchy)
03 - Jeff (Enemy similar to Bill & Jimmy Lee)
04 - Abobo
05 - Big Man Flat Top

07 - Karate Guy (glitchy)
08 - Williams

0A - Linda
0B - Masked Man (glitchy)
0C - Wood Stump
0D - Wooden Crate
0E - Metal Ball
0F - Knife
10 - Shovel
11 - Grenade
12 - Chain Whip

NOTE: This will change your appearance, but will cause your character to rapidly flicker back & forth between Billy Lee & The character you wish to become. Sometimes the flickering will stop when the same character comes out. Also some attacks & actions can't be used with other characters. You can still climb ladders & jump even as characters that don't normally do that. When you complete a stage, the character's clothing color will change automatically. If you play as the Machine Gun Guy, Karate Guy, or any of the weapons, you can't attack the enemies. Masked Man can only do a jumping kick, while it hurts the enemy, it won't knock them down.

Double Dragon

Player 1 Attack Modifier

04 - Elbow
07 - Uppercut
08 - Roundhouse Kick
0E - Front Bat Swing
0F - Rear Bat Swing
15 - Knee Smash

NOTE: These are some of the useful attacks. This will cause your character to do that attack no matter what button you press & even if you picked up a weapon. If you come to an area where you have to jump like in Mission 2 or 3, then disable the code until you pass that area. The knee smash doesn't do any damage, but you still can get points with every knee smash done. The front / rear bat swing will cause you to swing a baseball bat even if you don't have one.

Double Dragon 2: The Revenge

Player 1 Attack Modifier
03C0 ??
Values
00 - Forward Attack (Punch)
01 - Rear Attack (Back Kick)

08 - Jumping Rear Jump Kick

15 - Knee Smash

NOTE: These are some of the useful attacks. This will cause your character to do that attack no matter what button you press & even if you picked up a weapon. If you come to an area where you have to jump like in Mission 2, then disable the code until you pass that area. The knee smash doesn't do any damage, but you still can get points with every knee smash done. The front / rear shovel swing will cause you to swing a shovel even if you don't have one.

Player 1 Always has the Shovel
03C3 02

Player 1 Can't pick up weapons
03E4 01

Player 1 Can't climb any ladders
03D9 00

Player 1 Jump distance / direction modifier

Player 1 Gravity modifier
03B3 ??
Values
00 - Minimal gravity
FF - Maximum gravity
NOTE: If the setting is is for the least amount of gravity, when you jump or get knocked down you'll float up in the air slowly & won't come back down for a while. When using the Maximum amount of gravity, you won't be able to jump off the ground.

I have hacked Xbox and the emulators I use have built in cheat searching and you can obviously use cheats, can't remember the name but all you have to do is FTP into your xbox and you can transfer files back and forth from your Xbox to your PC. Emucr should have any emulator for Xbox.

I'm not familiar with FTPs & still am not set up with a PC still. I only have access to the work computer. Some things never change I guess. At some point, I'm going to get with a few people that I know & see if I can get them to show me (step-by-step) on how to A. Download more games, B. Download additional emulators, & C. Replace the Hard Drive if needed (with more space). While there are Youtube videos that show how to download, they don't show you the set-up you need before you download.

I also still have my PS1, PS2, Game Boy (& Pocket Game Boy), Retron 3 with the NES, SNES, & Genesis games & the hacking devices for those systems. At some point, I'll dust those off & get back to those again before too long.

[Helder]

Get a laptop or a used PC then hit me up I will explain how to do an FTP into your xbox (pretty easy) then you can transfer games and emulators back and forth. I used to do alot of Xbox modchip installs and I had a special disc that was configured to install everything I needed including emulators I chose. Best bet would be to hit http://www.xboxscene.com/xbox-tutorials.php as that will have everything you need to know on setting things up on Xbox.

Values

05 - Big Man Flat Top
06 - Bolo
07 - Karate Guy (glitchy)
08 - Williams
09 - Rowper
0A - Linda
0B - Masked Man (glitchy)
NOTE: These codes will change the appearance of the enemy characters, but some of them will be glitchy. If you make Billy or Jimmy Lee as an enemy, when you beat them, you'll be stuck. Some of the enemy characters won't be able to properly attack. They also will retain their normal properties. For example: If you modify an enemy into the Masked Man, he'll blink like most enemies when he's beaten rather than standing up & growling.

The Xport emulators were stacked with features, I believe most of them (if not all) had a cheat search. I recall the days of getting them all from xbins (aka "the usual places"). I still have two modded xboxes, filled to the brim with emus and games. I would find an Xport emu for every system, except perhaps ZsnesXbox for SNES.

I'll try to answer any questions you have as well.

As far as switching hard drives go, you just need to find a large IDE HDD. The size the xbox will support depends on the bios being used, so make sure you don't get one too big if you're using an old bios. The xbox uses signing features so you have to unlock the old drive before you switch them, then locking the new one is necessary for some features. This can be done with EvoX, another HDD tool, and some modchips could do it too like the xecuter or the smartxx. So the proper order would be to back up your current files through ftp, unlock the old, switch, lock the new, run a dashboard from disc, format, and ftp over all of the backed-up files. Make sure you include a G: drive if your hard drive is really big, like 500GB.

Just about any dashboard will let you ftp into your xbox, xbmc being the most fully featured. You will need a PC for that.

Found some player modifiers for the arcade version of Pitfighter. I like playing as the Masked Man or as Chainman Eddie.

Pitfighter

Player 1 Modifier
00FFEACD ??

Player 2 Modifier
00FFEBCF ??

Player 3 Modifier
00FFECD1 ??

Values:
00 - Buzz
01 - Ty
02 - Kato
03 - Chainman Eddie
04 - Southside Jim
05 - Masked Man
06 - Mad Miles
07 - CC Rider
08 - Executioner
09 - Heavy Metal
0A - Angel
0B - Chainman Eddie (Pallette Swap 1)
0C - Southside Jim (Pallette Swap 1)
0D - Masked Man (Pallette Swap 1)
0E - Mad Miles (Pallette Swap 1)
0F - CC Rider (Pallette Swap 1)
10 - Executioner (Pallette Swap 1)
11 - Heavy Metal
12 - Angel
13 - Chainman Eddie (Pallette Swap 2)
14 - Southside Jim (Pallette Swap 2)
15 - Masked Man (Pallette Swap 2)
16 - Mad Miles (Pallette Swap 2)
17 - CC Rider (Pallette Swap 2)
18 - Executioner (Pallette Swap 2)
19 - Heavy Metal
1A - Angel
1B - Chainman Eddie (Pallette Swap 3)
1C - Southside Jim (Pallette Swap 3)
1D - Masked Man (Pallette Swap 3)
1E - Mad Miles (Pallette Swap 3)
1F - CC Rider (Pallette Swap 3)
20 - Executioner (Pallette Swap 3)
21 - Heavy Metal
22 - Angel
23 - Buzz (Grudge Match Clone)
24 - Ty (Grudge Match Clone)
25 - Kato (Grudge Match Clone)
26 - CAUSES THE GAME TO CRASH & RESET

NOTE: Some chracters don't have certain animations. For example: Chainman Eddie doesn't have a kick animation, so he can only stomp. When playing as anyone other than the three main characters, you lose the grudge match every time even if you win. Angel & Heavy Metal don't have pallette swaps, but appear at different values. If Player 2 or Player 3 takes control of them, they may look like a black sprite. The Masked Man pallette swaps don't look right on him. If you push right, right or left, left as Chainman, you'll lower your head & ram your opponent. Its a very powerful move.

I wanted to ask, if you have been able to find character modifiers for The Main Event? I have attempted to find this & my search results always zero out. I always do a change of status search, both on the character select screen & while in a match, but never seem hit anything that works. I was trying to get it to where one could play a match with two of the same character. Thanks for anything you can come up with.

Its Wrestling game runs on TMNT arcade board?

normally, I do not take request.

I try take quick look at the game but no promises.

btw, those already in pugsy's mame cheat file.

Is MAME the same as Coin-Ops? Without an arcade game hacks database, it'll be hard to know what's been hacked & what hasn't.

[lee4]

Yes, both are Arcade Emulators
MAME (an acronym of Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is an emulator application designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems in software on modern personal computers (PC) and other platforms.
