NGC Pointer Only Working On Dolphin

[lee4]

no, money is in gc's vm

scratchpad is cpu data buffer, you must not touch.

After reading up a bit I've heard the GC has an extra 16KB RAM bank called a scratchpad, is this where the cash value is located lee?

using big offset not best thing to do

[CosmoCortney]

Ohh.. that's too bad

[47iscool]

Game freezes right after the warning screen, Thanks anyway though.

[47iscool]

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

[CosmoCortney]

I see.
i downloaded the dumps you have postet on the first page.

ive got following results:

406b0040 243b087f
406b0040 243b09ff
406b0040 243b0aff
406b0040 243b0bff

48000000 806b0040
DE000000 80008180
14243b08 7fffffff
E0000000 80008000

the initial address isnt much smaller
but maybe it works

I use both GCNPPC and pointer search v4. Only time I need the pointer search v4 is when hacking Wii games though.

I don't know what pointer searcher you are using. But in the case of GCNPCC you can edit following settings:

The "max offset radius" will search for pointer offsets being equal or less than this value.
Here's a code i have recently made: 4017aa60 66c7f011
small initial addres (and a greater offset).

the pointer's initial address is huge. try researching for the pointers with a larger radius. try out any of the pointer codes having a small initial address and a larger offset.
ba+8fd4d4 does not look very common to me. most of my pointer addresses are smaller than ba+2XXXXX.
idk if a smaller initial address would solve the problem. but you could give it a try.

oh, and for the gecko code type i recommand you to use E0000000 80008000 instead of E2000001 80008000. I experienced that the E2000001 80008000-termination didnt terminate if-conditions.

Not sure what you mean by "larger radius" but I already made an ASM version that works.

Thanks anyway for trying to help though. When you are on the "my cars/add cars" screen the value is EEEEEEEE, then when you go to the car list it changes 000F0001. If you want you could try it yourself as I'm assuming you have Carbon from one of your posts on YouTube.

no, was not in user's memory which why we could not find anything

your picture / save was helpful.

Was it (the data) scrambled? Anyway, thanks for all the hard work.

I don't know how you did it but the cash code works. Sadly the car list code does not work.

Also they, even individually lock the game up when going to quick race. But you can still save your profile with the cash code on and keep it, it doesn't require a specific profile either.

Amazing work all in all, if I may ask how DID you find the cash code? I'd basically given up on pointers for this game.
