mk.xml
Need to create a pointer to this addresses. Putting this here till I get that accomplished.
Code: Select all
<-----------Ram Pointer Modifiers----------->
Due to the way the MK games work, the pointer codes are only good for a fresh boot of the game with no activity (the games reallocate these memory locations with each interaction). I will be working to rectify the situation.
<cheat desc="Attract Mode Screen Modifier">
<comment>Will be the next screen shown after the one your currently on. Only works during attract mode. Only works on a fresh boot of the game.</comment>

I still don't know how to convert this cheat type (0x...) for classic format.
But this cheat is working very well in XML format.
Thanks!

There is really no point in converting them right now as they are still in a WIP state (they only work on a fresh boot with no interaction). To convert them, just remove the 0x, and use the rest as the value for the address specified in the "change" event (Ex: maincpu.pw@01053910=C0A0 = Winning streaks).

FYI
maincpu.pw@01053910=C0A0
will convert into
:mk:00100000:1053910:0000C0A0:FFFFFFFF:Winning streaks
apart from the fact that parent/clone sets can change between versions it really isn't fair to ask anyone to convert XML into DAT (which ceased being used as the MAME cheat format almost 5 years ago!!).

I understand, Pugsy. You is right! But MK games work best in old MAME. For example in MK1 you can't increase some backgrounds musics and effects in recents MAME (old MAME have more options).
Really this cheat don't work in classic format.
Thanks!

@Abystus Is this where Shang Tsung's body/moveset resides (01022050) ? I know there are no input codings for Shang Tsung, yet if i press high punch there is a movement, then game crashes, of course).

This code works like it should (no crashes during gameplay, everything seems right with the world and your initials actually save), but something is corrupting with the "Longest Winning Streaks" screen shown during the intro after entering your initials during a single player game, and may eventually lead to a crash if you let the intro play long enough. I'll have a look to see if I can correct the issue when I get a bit of time in the next few days (may require a custom routine due to how the code in this area is written). Seems the programmers went through great lengths to keep this a versus mode option only. I will move it to my main thread if I am able to correct the issue with the corrupted data, but it is here to test for anyone that wants to. You may have to reset to factory default or clear high scores to undo possible corruption caused by this code.
!!!!!Warning!!!!!
This code may corrupt your "Longest Winning Streaks" screen, and may cause the game to crash during the game's intro if initials are saved in single player mode.
Code: Select all
<cheat desc="Enable Single Player Wins Name Entry">
<comment>If your wins count ranks high enough to be on the list, you will be prompted to enter your initials just like in versus mode.</comment>

Excellent work, Abystus!
Well, I play in single player mode and enter my name 3 times and don't have problem in intro game.
I have only this problem with this cheat. If you get this screen after Endurance 3, the game crash, because Goro is programed for enter in lair after Endurance 3 Battle. Is possible change for enter in Goro's fight in Battle Plan screen?
Thanks!
