N64 Madden NFL '99

[Phil The Hammer]

You're prolly aware that I hacked a buncha codes for Madden '99 for PSX. Now, I have a question about Madden NFL '99 for N64.

My question is: WHAT ARE ACTIVATOR CODES? I saw them on another site(Ya prolly know which one) and wondered what they're for. I'm trying to get attributes codes to work on created players & can't do it so far, & I'm wondering if those activator codes have anything to do with it.

Thanx in advance for any help!

These are to be used in conjunction with activator (Joker) codes:

Normal Activator 1 Quantity Digits - Quantity Digits - Button Pressed to Activate

01 Right Directional Pad
02 Left Directional Pad

Multi Buttons To use any combination of buttons, like, press Right Directional and Z to enable the codes. Just add the two digits up for Right Directional and Z. 01 plus 21 equal 21, so 21 would enable the codes when you push Right Directional and Z on the Controller 1

Question: Answer:

What is the Activator? It is a code whose address is a position in RAM, that tells when a button on the controller is pressed!

Does everygame have an Activator? Yes, EVERY GAME has an Activator, but some are non-normal though!

What does an Activator do? It is used to avoid lockups during the intros or varios places in the game, or when you only want to activate codes at a certain time and not constantly have the effect of the code. ITS PURPOSE IS TO ACTIVATE CODES AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON!

Can you activate all codes from an Activator? As of NOW, No! It will only activate the code that is below it, when you press the correct button on Controller 1

Once I Have The Activator in, How do I Use it? When you press the button/s specified by the Quantity Digits below, the value that you change the '????' to, inside of the game, it will activate the code you have put in under the Activator code.

When Entering an Activator. Be sure to enter the code that you want the Activator to Activate RIGHT UNDERNEATH of the Activator code!

EXAMPLE USAGE Say you have Infinite Health for a game. the Infinite Health code is, 8012C04C 00AA, and the Activator is D0012876 00??., and it is a Normal Activator. And in the game, Z doesnt do anything!

Well, take a look at the Quantity Digits and you will see that Select is value 20 for a Normal Activator. So you enter the following codes, D0012876 0020, and under it 8012C04C 00AA. Now when you are in the game with this code on, when you press Z it will refill your energy!

Or if you hold Z and no other buttons it will give you Infinite Health! HOWEVER, once you let go of Z, you no longer have Infinite Health, so get a little farther in the level, you notice that you have lost some energy, so press Z to FILL back up your energy. And so on!
