Request: Dracula X (PC Engine SCD)

[orcanaoftime]

Hi,

could someone please make an invincible code for the game Dracula X (PC Engine SCD). I would really appreciate it since my skills at making invincible codes are zero.

Thanks in advance.

Use these codes with Magic Engine.

Infinite health F82098:92
Infinite hearts F82094:153
Infinite lives F8208D:153
Invincibility F83460:1
Kill boss with 1 hit F812B8:1

Squaresoft74 from magic engine forums made these codes

thanks very much.

Hi, this is for helder or anyone else who could help.


I am using the mednafenx PC Engine emulator for Xbox. Any codes on this site made with the Magic Engine emulator I can convert to use on the Xbox one.


The codes for Dracula X have all worked great except I can't get the Invincibility one to work:


Infinite health F82098:92
Infinite hearts F82094:153
Infinite lives F8208D:153
Invincibility F83460:1
Kill boss with 1 hit F812B8:1


thanks to helder, what you do is drop the first 3 characters, and add 800 in hex
then add this to the code format that the emulator uses 3000XXXX 00XX.

Any suggestions would be great,

Thanks.

try 30003460 0001, I see that all the other codes are in the F82XXX range or below except the Invincibility, perhaps the emulator's cheat support doesnt cover that range of ram.

Thanks for the reply helder. The code did not work. It's the only one I really want for the game.

I hate being bumped back when I get hit, I always end up falling as some of the later levels are really hard.



edit 1: I found an invincibility code that works perfect doing a search in the emulator's cheat search! My first invincibility code.




I did a bit of looking around on the internet for any "how to make invincible codes" and came across a post on the magic engine message board from Chris Covell:


Quote:

"Usually games that have characters who become invincible for a short period of time when they get hit store their invincibility data in one of two ways:

1) Have a countdown timer that starts when the character gets hit. It usually starts at a value of (for example) #$C0, then decrements this value every 60th of a second, until it's 0. While the counter is non-zero, the character is invincible. To make a cheat, you can thus search for a steadily decrementing counter right after your character gets hit, and make a cheat that freezes the value at what it was set at. If the character flashes while he is invincible, and when you freeze the value, the character disappears, try a different value (one less, for example).

2) Have a variable somewhere that is 0 if vulnerable, 1 if invincible (or vice-versa) that is toggled by the above type of countdown timer. Sometimes if you find the timer variable and freeze it, but the character still gets hit, you need to hunt for a value that is 0 when the character vulnerable, and 1 otherwise, and freeze it at 1.

This works for almost any game system."




Now I tried searching for an invincibility code before for Dracula X with no luck, after reading the above, what I did was wait UNTILL I was hit first (I was searching as soon as I started the game before), then start a search for values less than before and did a search every few seconds after I was hit. It came down to about 7 results and just tried them one by one. The last one was the invincibility:

30001C60 0026


Hopefully I can find more invincible codes for this system and other systems too!

there ya go, its usually the same method for most games using this type of invincibility.

Congrats, I know how that feels :P

someone would be so kind to transform these codes for the retroarch emulator for android please thanks.
