Sonic Advance 3 RAM hacking

Great job! Keep up the good work.

 

Kickass, dude. I haven't even loaded up the damned ROM yet =P

 

Thank you, L0st. This should save me a hell of a lot of time.

 

Time for the inevitable. Sonic GBA game + me = codes.

Icy: Dunno why you didn't hack player 1's character.
LOst: Because I want you to find it for me :P

So I did, and then some. First, the raw codes.

Player 1 Character Modifier: 030015E8

00 = Sonic, 01 = Cream, 02 = Tails, 03 = Knuckles, 04 = Amy, going by LOst's list. Also, 07 gives you a Sonic that always looks up (carrying something?), 09 gives you a looking-down/spindashing Sonic, 0B gives you a Sonic that...uh...see for yourself, 0D gives a Sonic similar to 07 (but crashes game), 0F gives something similar to 09 (but crashes), and 10 and up seems to be repeat digits.

I'll encrypt these for use on an Action Replay later. If you want to use them on a Code Breaker, your code is 330015E8 00??, where you replace ?? with the value of your choice.

Hold L to Levitate: AE61406D 696214E5
4F8CF861 DFED57F7

Sorry, AR v3 only for that one. But the raw code is:

0A400130 0000FF01
023015DA 0000FCFD

I think Code Breaker would be:

74000130 FF01
830015DA FCFD

That's all for now.

 

The game hasn't already been released yet and we already know some RAM addresses...

It HASN"T been released yet...right?

 

It has only been leaked.

 

Uhhhh, Lost? You know all you need to do to get everything unlocked is set the save type of VBA to "None" or "Flash 128k"...... right?

 

he knows that now.... he didnt when he posted it :P

 

But is'nt that the type of save type the GBA uses? The only other time I heard that was when people had trouble with SMA4.

 

Uh... yeah, that's why the option is labelled "save type". With no save available, it defaults to "all things unlocked, levels beaten, bosses not beaten". It seems it's not programmed to cope with Flash 128k (or that option is buggy in VBA).

 

To change how many hits Eggman has left to be defeated in Route 99. (Eggman boss only. Works on Cream and X or X and Cream combo's)


[3974768] Change the 08 or howmay hits Eggman has to take to get defeated to whatever the hell you want to be.

00 = instant defeat.


This will work with X and Cream or Cream and X combos only. Will look into more, later.

 

Just curious (although it defeats the entire purpose of the way you play SAdv3), is there a way to "4E 75" your CP partner (sometimes he/she is more of a hindrance than a help).

 

You can tempoarly make your partner useless, (as in not doing nothing, just idiling)


Go to offset 3001735 and change the 08 to whatever you want.

I've been on the search for the other hitcount (s). No luck.

 

it's good to see people cracking away on it this soon. I might just have to download the game to try out some of these hacks...
