GS Codes & Requests for Contender - PS1

[BigBossman]

I've brainstormed a few more ideas for this game:

1. Rankings modifier (Main Event Mode)

2. Infinite Time

3. Players start Main Event Mode with all special punches (no Jackal training sessions) Done (sort of)

4. Ring / Stage Modifier Done

5. Challenge any opponent (above or below you) in Main Event Mode

6. Player 1's Knockdown bar is always full

7. Player 2's Knockdown bar is always empty (or never fills up)

8. All players unlocked in Exhibition Mode

9. A code that eliminates that annoying trainer from shouting things out during your matches.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never understood why they had so many characters for this game & yet allowed you to only play as 8 of them (16 if you count those on Exhibition Mode). I don't know all of the values yet. As soon as I get the rest of them, I'll post them.

Player 1 Modifier (Main Event)
800705D0 00??
NOTE: You'll play as whoever you designate regardless of whoever you choose. Depending on the character you choose, it may freeze at certain points in the game when Jackal is showing you a new punch. I've skipped some values because it makes the boxer screen blank. When you exit from that boxer screen & return to it, its Jon Hawkins. You can also save the other characters & then play as them later with the GS code turned off.
Values:
00 - Lewis Hedges
01 - Henry Slate
02 - Lester "The Animal" Young
03 - Jon Hawkins
04 - Marvin "The Tank" Woods
05 - Don Brown
06 - Jade Van Horne
07 - Alexa Andersen
08 - Shin Fu
09 - Peewee Winston
0B - Opu Nui
0C - Benny "Bullet" Bass
0D - James "Turbo" Jackson
0E - "Sweet" Justice Ryan
0F - Lucky Day
11 - No. 13
12 - "Johnny Boy" Smith
13 - Hadji Zair
14 - Eusibio "Peligro" Pedroza
15 - Adam Minter
16 - Dugua
18 - "Kamikaze" Koga
19 - "Big Mama" Bates
1A - Ivan Bane
1B - Duke Jeffra
1D - Rob White
1E - Sonny Lasher
22 - Pekola Chokola
23 - "Cannon Ball" Wiseman
27 - Beastman

Alternate Player 1 Modifier (Main Event)
80070930 00??
NOTE: This a fixed cursor player modifier.
Values:
00 - Lewis Hedges
01 - Henry Slate
02 - Lester "The Animal" Young
03 - Jon Hawkins
04 - Marvin "The Tank" Woods
05 - Don Brown
06 - Jade Van Horne
07 - Alexa Andersen

I added to the values to the first character modifier. I'll check & make sure that both are exactly the same before I copy & paste. I still haven't found the values for Jackal & the other exhibition characters. I thought that it was strange that I haven't been able to access them yet. I have checked values 00 - 2F so far. I'll keep going to see if I can come up with the remaining 7 characters. When (or if) I do, I'll add them as well.

I got more codes:

Player 1 has all special punches
800529B0 0005
NOTE: This will allow your character to have all 5 special punches at the start of Main Event mode instead of having to go through a Jackal training session to get them. This won't eliminate the Jackal training sessions though.

For the following code, I haven't got the values totally mapped out yet, but I will add them as soon as I find them all:

Ring / Background Modifier
800792B8 ??XX
NOTE: The values for "??" seem to affect the ring you're in. "XX" seems to affect the background. Setting "XX" to 00 will cause the game to freeze.

every time a user tries hack a ps1 codes, do not read or follow the codetypes rules

8 = even address only (ends with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, A, C, E) and 2 byte values (0000 - FFFF)
3 = odd address (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, B, D, F) and 1 byte values (00 - FF)

yours codes should be this

Player 1 Modifier (Main Event)
300705D0 00??

Alternate Player 1 Modifier (Main Event)
30070930 00??

Player 1 has all special punches
300529B0 0005

Background Modifier
300792B8 00XX

Ring Modifier
300792B9 00??

I'm not sure I totally understand.

With the ring & background modifiers, I can understand that. That seems to simplify it. I'm not sure why the other codes need to start with a "3" instead of an "8". The others seem to work just fine with the "8".

Is there something I'm missing?

4 reasons why codetype 3 must be use

1. your values are 1 byte 00 to FF (less than 255) not 0000 to FFFF (2 byte write)
2. with 8 your are writing on two addresses, with 3 you are writing on one address
3. safer to not write null 00 or accidentally write on next address.
4. its proper to post the code.

Example

with codetype 8 two address writing (2 byte write) ?? is 000792B9 and XX is 000792B8
800792B8 ??XX

with codetype 3 single address writing only on 000792B8 without touching 000792B9
300792B8 00XX

this address ends with odd number 9 which is always codetype 3 and limited to 1 byte only and max of FF
300792B9 00??
