Uprising X Test menu

[Hybrid]

recently i grabbed a random game from my collection and decided to do a text search
i found a test menu listing
and today found the menu but i think i'm just hitting the tip of the iceberg theres another menu
called exit menu that if you select yes it takes you to the first training mission(probily level 0)
anyway i rigged it to take over the options spot on the main menu i still don't know what its purpose is or how to access it otherwise
the code is
D01A54C0 0008
801A54C0 0003

change the value (of the second code) to 0001 to go the exit menu screen i think theres alot more than what little i found. any help would be greatly appreciated in getting this thing fully working

Great find. I don't recall hearing of this game, ever. There may be a password to access it (from what I quickly checked about the game). I'll take a look at it later.

What the menu looks like via hybrid's code:


There should be a "Debug Menu" option in the pause menu.

Use this code to see the "Debug Text" in Mission 1:

This code unlocks more options on the main menu although useless right now since they can't be clicked on but we could map the debug or test menu to one of them.

Main Menu Option Quantity
301A50A0 000?

Normally its set to 3 with 0 being the the Start Game option and 3 being the option, so changing it to 4 or any other number will give you more options you could highlight but again its useless right now.

[Hybrid]

already found that the next option is called yes

hacc setting your variables code to value 0010 letterboxes the screen

[Hacc]

Yeah, I saw that. I don't know what that feature is called in the coding.

I missed this post last night (I was getting tired). It will be of use to me later. Before I fell asleep, I had found the password values. I'll post them around noon.

Update: I edited my previous post with the information.

Well I looked into what and how to load a menu to these other extra Menu Entries which wouldn't even do anything when X was pressed but I fixed that hehe.

Extra Menu Entry 1 Modifier
D01A50A0 0004
301A50A0 0005

801A512A 8007

the ? is the menu you want to load, I also found a bunch of different tables that have the values for the menus I will post a list sometime later or if you want to look for yourself just put a break on execute on this address when you open a menu anywhere 800782B0 and look at the value in v0.

Menu List:

00-Main Menu
01-Exit Menu
02-Memory Card Load
03-Test Menu
04-Black Screen
05-Black Screen
06-Messed Up Menu, then Loading Screen

Nice! You may want to add a check to your code, so that it doesn't interfere with the loading of anything else. For example, each mission loads from its own executable. Post the list still, as I have another game to work on. I can always look into it later.

[Helder]

It doesn't load anything during game play but it does have the addresses taken by other routines so I added a check so it works only while in the main menu, maybe Hybrid can test it out on real hardware to make sure it works without problems.

[Hybrid]

tried it for the test menu and it works but going in game seems to bring problems such as pausing and glitched textures running annnnd pausing
also tested with codes off began running smooth

[Hybrid]

found something interesting at the far bottom of the hex viewable its what looks like a table of addresses

[Hacc]

I finally went and tested my idea. Voila! Select the "Quit" option in the pause menu. I removed the debug mode code in my previous post, as those addresses are not written to when using the menu. Strange. The debug text code was left, because, hey, it's debug text. This menu hack trumps that modifier code anyways.

Debug Menu [Mission 1]
D00BBE74 5003
800BBE74 4803


I can get around to it later, but if you want to hack the menu for the other missions and game modes, simply search for "00005003" and replace the value with "4803" for the "Debug Menu", or "4081" for a hidden camera view option (toggle between first and third person). The debug menu and camera option values are only loaded outside of the missions.

[Hybrid]

wow just wow awsome work Hacc
although using a couple 'joker' codes you can still acess the quit option
D00C272A FCFF
800BBE74 4803

i've managed to find the addresses for the other missions

I guess I need a few more activators but the code is kind of useless unless we can map a debug menu to it.

[Hybrid]

i had an idea would't be better to map the debug menu to the 'pause' option then quit?
