Description

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.

On Dolphin, button activated Action Replay Codes and Gecko Codes don't work.

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?

I tested it on 3.5 and many 4.0 development builds with a variety of Gamecube and Wii games.

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

It appears that Dolphin isn't able to interpret button activated codes correctly. Pressing the code specific buttons don't activate the code.

Action Replay support is pretty sketchy in Dolphin, so I don't know if this should be its own issue.

Actions #7

Updated by OMEGA345 about 9 years ago

This issue is still there, pressing the button to activate codes do not work, it's a hit and miss you have to keep trying it. Often times during loading sequences it may trigger it to work. Also i'am unable to edit the ini file to add my own AR codes. After adding and saving the ini they never appear in the AR tab list. I believe this issue is #608 which is marked "fixed" but the issue is still there. cheers!

Actions #8

Updated by Korados about 9 years ago

I'm still experiencing this issue. Button activated codes rarely ever work. If they work, they do just one time until I reset the game.

Why was this issue marked as questionable? There's something what doesn't work on Dolphin, so it's an issue, isn't it? Please don't underrate this just because it's about cheating.

I really would like to see this issue fixed! Why don't button activated codes work in the first place?

Actions #9

Updated by OMEGA345 about 9 years ago

The way Dolphin handles input maybe messing these type of cheats up. If we hold the button it's not reading it as held. So instead it's polling the controller constantly only seeing it held so often.
This will probably not be fixed at all due to it not being a "high priority" sadly.

Actions #16

Updated by Korados about 9 years ago

I really hope that it will be fixed soon, too. This would be very good! Many of the codes I'd like to use are button activated. I find it a bit sad that this issue is handled so low in priority because it's about cheating. I hope that the Status might be changed to Accepted, because it's not questionable.

Strangely, there is one button-activated code that partially(!) worked for me. Maybe you can use this as a lead? Toggling the code sometimes worked for me, sometimes it didn't.

I already starred this issue. And why is it set to WontFix now? Didn't JMC found something about this issue? How would you know that this is unfixable?

To be honest, I find it a bit ridiculous that this issue seems to be treated as if it's not worth anything. For me, it's pretty important, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. Sure, it's not high priority but just shoving it aside won't fix it.

Actions #23

  • Status changed from Won't fix to Accepted

You guys seem to get wrong message. First and foremost. The developers definitely do care about the issue but you have to understand that Dolphin is an open source project with a lot of different developers working on different parts. Developers mostly pick out the issues/parts they want to tackle and thus it may take a while for the issue to be resolved as it seems there's currently no developer looking into the issue; this has nothing to do about this issue being about cheating.

As for why delroth put it on WontFix. It's because OMEGA345 was telling people to star the issue to make it seem like you care. Developers know you care and the star feature is not intended for this purpose and it shouldn't be encouraged to blindly star an issue. By allowing such behavior the star feature loses its value since it becomes a popularity contest.

I'll be marking the issue as accepted now but please do not ask for people to star this, they can decide this by themselves. If anyone disagrees (delroth in particular) feel free to change the status and preferably leave a comment explaining why.

Actions #24

I recorded a video that features this particular issue at hand. Even if this report iself was invalidated for abuse of the "starring" feature, I would have just made another one.

Actions #25

Sorry i had said that, i had no ill intent but i can see your points both of you's as to why, there is no need to explain delroth. I look forward to seeing the developments of this "bug" and JMC4789's video and findings will perhaps help.

Actions #26

Updated by Korados about 9 years ago

Thank you, shadox! I know, this issue is not exactly vital, so I guess it maybe was just overlooked. But it really makes me curious why Dolphin isn't able to properly handle button-activated codes, while the others are working. Is there any kind of connection which is missing? I'm looking toward to your video, JMC!

Updated by Korados about 9 years ago

I just tested the button-activated codes for Wii Sports Resort and Mario Party 8 on 4.0-5525. The codes for Wii Sports Resort don't work at all. There's an infinite flytime code. It stops the timer and when you press 1+2+B, the timer should set to zero to finish the flight. On Dolphin, the timer is stopped, but the button combination doesn't work.

Interestingly, the codes for Mario Party 8, which are all button-activated, work flawlessly! I wonder why some codes work and why some don't. It may depend on the game, not the codes themselves.

Actions #32

Updated by shadoxfix about 9 years ago

I actually investigated this issue a little bit a few days ago but couldn't find what was exactly wrong. I was testing out the Wind Waker Press R to Mega Jump code. The conditional part of the code works fine (press R) and after that it does a 32-bit floating add code. I initially suspected that being wrong for whatever reason however that was not the case (the addition worked fine). So I decided to change the value it adds to 00030000 instead of 00000003. To my surprise the code actually worked and shot up in the air. The value 00000003 never worked except if I was in a state where I could not crouch. Hanging on a ladder and pressing R made me go up very slowly (hanging on a ledge doesn't work). If I was standing on the ground and pressed R the height of Link would always alternate between two values. The previous height and the height + 3 (which isn't noticeable).
That's where I stopped trying to find the issue. I couldn't figure out why it was happening and there's very little documentation (or hard to find) on AR codes. The comments in the code seem to suggest that AR codes were implemented slightly differently. ("The mechanism is different than what the real AR uses, so there may be compatibility problems.")

Actions #33

Updated by AHeinerm about 9 years ago

This reminds me of a much older issue where action replay codes were not updated frequently enough. The value increase from 00000003 to 00030000 could be an indicator that the code either isn't being interpreted correctly or the update frequency is too low.

Actions #34

Updated by Korados about 9 years ago

I just tested this code on the PAL version of Wind Waker. It's similar to the one shadox used:

Moon Jump (Hold DPad Down)
0A3F5018 00000004
423D1D38 01124204

It works flawless. Link is launched into the air immediately, in the exact same way as on an original Gamecube.

I can confirm that the respective codes for Pikmin 1 and 2 also don't work on the PAL versions.

Why were the codes implemented differently? Would it possible to change this? Maybe it would solve the issue.

Actions #35

Could you guys please post the actual codes that don't work? It's a bit hard finding what codes you're using since I don't have most of those games. (Or I have a PAL version instead.)

Forgot to mention i was using 4.0-5281 before updating today.

Actions #47

Updated by shadoxfix about 9 years ago

The build I sent you isn't actually 4.0-5569. It's a modified version I compiled for testing. As to why that one does work. I suspected that the codes don't get run often enough. Billiard26 noted this as well in issue 5882. So instead of running the codes once every frame I changed it to run every 1/60th of a frame (random number I used). Note that this is not correct behavior but it's merely for testing purposes.

Actions #50

Updated by shadoxfix about 9 years ago

The build I posted was targeted for AR codes and not Gecko Codes. So it shouldn't affect the Flytime and Infinite Jetski Time codes. The pikmin 2 code doesn't seem to be correct. It has a type of C5 which isn't a type (or atleast, not documented anywhere). Could you try to replace that with 5C, it might be that someone made a small typing mistake.

In my opinion, we don't need another thread because when I posted it I intended it to be for both kinds of codes. But I don't know if this issue is caused by two separate bugs. I can confirm that the button-activated codes for Zelda Skyward Sword also don't work on the PAL version. I tested it on 4.0-5841.

What still makes me curious is why all of the codes for Mario Party 8 work perfectly every time. What has this game what the others don't have?

But what did actually happen to JMC? Didn't he say he wanted to give us a video with the things he found? Maybe this video has a clue. This is really a headscratcher.

Could there actually be a solution or will it never be fixed? I wouldn't like to shout against walls.

Actions #71

Updated by shadoxfix almost 9 years ago

JMC47 actually made a "Datel: Unlicensed Product Showcase" (https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/03/09/datel-unlicensed-products-showcase/) blog post in which he mentions the bug and has a video of it.

As for where this issue is going. The problem is that the codes are executed at the wrong time causing some codes to not work. Increasing the frequency of the codes like I did #44 partially solves this (more chance to hit the right time) but is not a proper solution. AR codes should probably be handled in a way the original AR codes work.

The problem with this issue it that no one is currently working on it or is interested enough in working on it. This will likely get solved one day but probably won't happen soon.

Note that I did not look into Gecko codes at all and can't say much about why those are not working.

Okay was playing around with the trigger codes. I was correct what i said a while ago above.. To get some trigger codes to work, keep pressing the button required during loading sequences. You may have to try a few times before the button takes effect. I just got the time in the loftwing spiral minigame to work after repeating the button during loading sequences. The time remains at 120sec now.

The problem with your idea are codes which are supposed to be pressed while the game is running, like codes which freeze a timer and to set the timer to 0, you have to press the button combination. For example, there's a code which didn't work for Mario Sports Mix [RMKP01]:

*Press 1 + B to end game instantly

I just tested the Wii Sports Resort Flytime code again on 5.0-rc-19 but it still doesn't work. The timer is freezed at 5 minutes but pressing the button combination to end the flight session has no use. Doesn't this issue have any solution?

Yes i understand this. Nobody has time or cares to work on this issue as it's not top priority. If you got the original AR disc all codes work apparently.

Okay, we are on the new tracker now. I don't know if anybody ever had a look on this issue again, so I thought I just write something here.

I tried the usual codes on 4.0-7960 now but they still don't work. I'm not sure if this ever will be fixed but I hope
that someone might have an idea in the future.

Add Other M's button-triggered codes to the list, namely third-person missiles (NTSC-U Version). Still doesn't work on 5.0-1424.

You can shoot missiles while holding B button

I found that the code works fine in the Interpreter, but not JIT or JITIL. JIT sometimes only fires missiles even when not holding B even when out of them (or doesn't work at all) and JITIL just hangs on a black screen on boot with ANY code active.

Update: On 5.0-12685, this issue is prevalent in a different way in my case.

I have found that the majority of AR codes work for me, but some AR codes properly converted to Gecko do not work (but the AR version does), notably this one:

GZLE01
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Moon Jump (L)

AR Max:
Decrypted:
0A3ED84A 00000040
423CA410 01124204

Encrypted:
JHYB-MBM5-ZXCKR
UA88-7MDW-MWC0U
T302-ZVYT-5JMHJ

Gecko:
283ED48A FFBF0040
48000000 803CA410
DE000000 80008180
12000224 00004204
E0000000 80008000

The AR code works, but the Gecko code does not. Personally, I believe that the current Gecko codehandler implementation isn't being given read/write access to certain memory regions. No other explanation makes sense, since the AR version works just fine.

It's been 4 years since this was marked as Accepted, and the emulator has gone leaps and bounds since then in terms of optimization, so I'm optimistic that this will be fixed before the end of this year if it gets decent priority.

Some things could just be timing/icache related. I know with the action replay codes, it is due to Dolphin's Action Replay implementation being incorrect in some way. With Gecko Codes I'm not sure.

But why would you need Gecko Codes for a Gamecube game? Is there any difference?
