Shining Force (U) [!] Game Genie Genesis

[MIR]

I am looking for some store mods that modify the items sold at stores duing the first and/or second chapter.

Also is there a patchable GameGenie code that allows for infinite movement during battle. I cant seem to get Tony H's to work at all.

I don't think I ever made an "infinite movement during battle" code for SF1. Which code can't you get working?

[Hybrid]

he's probly talking about this code

DF3T-CWBC
When the Wooden Sword is equipped, your MOV will
increase by 25!! This means you can move ANYWHERE on
the screen for each turn during battle!

Sorry for the confusion. its the following code i cannot get to work as well.
When you use the Medical Herb, EVERYONE in your party will have their HP restored!! [Note 1]CKNT-F0A8Tony Hedstrom


This os the move anywhere code from the BSfree DB. i do apologise there is no name attached to it.

Go Anywhere In Battle PECT-FF8L

I didn't make the "Go Anywhere In Battle" PECT-FF8L code, so I can't help you much there.

As for the "When you use the Medical Herb, EVERYONE in your party will have their HP restored" code, I remember making and testing that code. Here are a few things that might be causing problems...

Make sure you have the "Shining_Force_(U)_[!].bin" ROM.

Also, make sure you aren't using any other codes I made that change what the Medical Herb does (ie. don't use these codes with it:

HBNT-F0A8
When you use the Medical Herb, EVERYONE in your party
will receive the Turbo Pepper.

HFNT-F0A8
When you use the Medical Herb, EVERYONE in your party
will receive the Bread of Life.

LFNT-EAA0 +
LFNT-EAA2 +
ABNT-EKT4 +
NPNT-F4J8
When you use the Medical Herb (in battle), EVERYONE in
your party will level-up to level 19.

And I think there are a few other codes I made that change what the Medical Herb does. Make sure NONE of those codes are turned on. You can only have one "Medical Herb" modifying code on at a time.

Also, note that the code will only work during battle.

One other question... have you gotten ANY Game Genie codes to work with SF1?

I am using the "Shining_Force_(U)_[!].gen" ROM. i am attempting to patch it using Ucon64 due to the fact my emulator doesnt have an option for using codes.

I am only using the one medical herb code. i read the note about them.

Yes. The code that makes it so you cant take damage kinda worked. it crashed the game though. i was in the first battle in chapter one and one of the goblins attacked Hans and at the point damage would have been calculated the screen went black and the game froze.

My guess is that the wrong offset/ROM address is being changed. I have an idea... I'll make a hacked SF1 ROM with the correct offset changed so that the code: "When you use the Medical Herb, EVERYONE in your party will have their HP restored" will work. You can see if that solves the problem. If it works, then we know that Ucon64 is somehow changing the wrong ROM address.

If you want to do that, just get your email address to me and I'll send you the hacked ROM.

You don't need to use Ucon64, just use any GG Decoder and a Hex editor to patch the ROM.
Genesis doesn't use mappers, so the offset given by the GG decoder will be the exact ROM address.

[MIR]

i am using linux and have Ucon64 installed and working. thats what i will use because its all i know

^^

I can teach you if you like, its really, really easy .
EDIT: Here's a Online Game Genie decoder.
So lets say you have the following GG Code:
98JA-B92A

You put it in the GG Decoder and it gives you:
Address: 009000
Value: FFFF

So you need to write FFFF in the address 009000.

How to do that?.

Easy, you open the ROM with any hex editor (I'm pretty sure there's lots of hexadecimal editors for linux).
Here's one of them.
Here's a online one.
Well, as I said you need to open the ROM with your hex editor, and go to the (hex) address 009000. Note the hex, since usually hex editors can handle dec addresses also.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Stay tunned, I will hack a SF1 rom for you, since I wanted to hack that game since a long time. ^^

[MIR]

I still need a Move Anywhere code. That would be extreamly useful.

Tony H my email is not hidden. i belive i pm'd you once before (about a Genesis GG). PM me agian

[Tony H]

MIR, It sounds like Whipon has your hacked SF1 ROM covered.

[Whipon]

Try this one ^^

Max Movement When You Open Character Profile,
A6WA-FEAT
You need to open the character profile to boost its movement. It will show 95, but its 255.

[MIR]

Thanks! i will try this when i get home tonight
