(Request) Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo (PC-E) - Maria Codes

[Liquidpolicenaut]

Does anybody have any codes for Akumajo Dracula X specifically for Maria as the codes and hacks listed don't seem to work for her...

[King Of Chaos]

I use RetroArch with the Beetle PCE core, and the already available RAM cheats works fine when converted to RetroArch's native cheats feature for both characters - I just tested Maria and it works fine.

These are the contents of my Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo (Japan).cht file, which you can load into RetroArch after starting the game. Do note you can only use one of the "always have" codes at a time. I also couldn't yet figure out why the invincibility or 1-hit kill codes don't work yet.

King Of Chaos are this codes but they don't work in retroarch I don't know why
INVENCIBLE: F83460: 1
KILL THE HEAD 1 HIT: F812B8: 1

if you don't try to INVINCIBLE: F83460: 91 but you have to convert them to retroarch format and I don't know if they will work

[King Of Chaos]

Like I said above, I already tried to get those two codes working in RetroArch via the native cheats support, but they don't work. Look at both of them, they're not the typical F82-style RAM cheats.

Somebody else will have to figure those out.

[Liquidpolicenaut]

Thanks for the reply and explanation again KingOfChaos. You are right that the codes DO work when played on my PC but I was trying to see if I could get these to work on my Retropie which DOES use Retroarch but I believe a different version of the core so this is probablyp why many of the cheats don't work. What DOES work are any codes converted into hex values and can be used with a Hex editor to alter the file itself (just like the Sega CD ones). I used luc-itas codes posted 2 weeks ago for invincibility in Rondo of Blood and it works perfectly albeit just for Richter. I guess I'd have to see if anyone can convert or find the value of invincibility just for Maria and maybe also convert the codes for other games (like Sapphire and Valis) into something usable with a Hex Editor...

King of Chaos friend you can share your .cht file of tricks because I do not get the tullos tricks to appear in retroarch when the charges are closed and nothing comes out. see if you could share yours .cht

[King Of Chaos]

That is the contents of the .cht file that I posted above. Just copy and paste to a .cht file and load it in RetroArch.
