New AR codes: Dual 1v1 mode, disabled stage stuff, c-stick in 1p modes

Back in February I asked on this board if any hackers could make a code for my Smash group that allowed us to have 2 1v1 fights at the same time. No one volunteered, so, for the last month I've spent all of my free time researching how to hack GameCube games myself and actually doing the hacking to make the code I wanted, and I did it! It is now posted on my web site here along with details on how it works.

I also went ahead and created some more codes to do stuff like disabling annoying stage features and using the c-stick for smash attacks in single-player modes like training mode.

NOTE: These codes are mostly for version USA 1.0 of SSBM since that is the version I use, though for some I have also found a version for USA 1.2 since I was able to find a copy of that version. I do not have any way to hack these for PAL or version 1.1 US - sorry!

If you don't want to go to my site, here is the codes and how to use them:

Dual 1v1 Mode:

This code allows this by letting all 4 players play at once, but each "set" of 1v1 players can't directly interfere with the other fight (beyond things like messing with the camera or edge hogging). Once each pair has a winner, the two winners can battle it out for the overall winner of the match! It also as a side effect disables any attacks from "neutral" team doing anything (i.e. stage hazards). There is an alternate version on my web site that lets neutral attacks still work if you really want that.

The only downside is that you can no longer play team matches with Friendly Fire turned off - but no one worth their salt plays Teams without Friendly Fire turned on anyway.

To use:

1. Turn Friendly Fire to OFF.
2. Switch to Team mode and set the team colors so that each set of players that should fight each other are the same color. Players will only be able to hurt other players set to the same team color.
3. (Optional) Switch Team mode back off so players can switch to whatever costume they want.
4. Start the match
5. When the match is over, re-shuffle team colors as desired (this step can be skipped using another code further down!).

Shuffle teams based on rank in Dual 1v1 mode:

The Dual 1v1 mode is pretty cool, but having to switch teams around after every match can be tedious. This code gets rid of that step by automating the shuffling of team assignments based on the rankings from the previous match. With it, there is no need to switch to Teams mode at all, unless you just want to check as a reminder of who is fighting whom.

The players that recieved 1st or 2nd place will be set to fight each other for the next match, and the players that got 3rd and 4th place will fight each other. When the game is first booted everyone can fight everyone, so you can treat the first match as a FFA "placements" match that determines the pairings for the first paired-off match.

Of course, even with this code enabled, you can still at any time manually switch to Teams mode and change around the pairings before starting the next match. Also, this code will not interfere with normal Teams matches when you have Friendly Fire turned ON.

Note: In the unlikely event of a tie, this code will not compensate and will still assign directly based on rank. You will want to manually go into Teams mode and fix the color assignments in this case.

Disable some stage features:

Many stages have annoying features that interfere with a straight skill-based fight. Argue fairness as you will, but we would rather not have stages do some of this stuff. This code disables the following stage features:

• Brinstar: Rising lava
• Corneria: Attacking ships and Great Fox gun
• Dreamland 64: Wind
• Fountain of Dreams: Moving platforms
• Green Greens: Wind, apples, and falling blocks
• Peach's Castle: Switches and Bullet Bills
• Pokemon Stadium: Transformations
• Yoshi's Story: Shy guys

C-stick smashes in single player:

I can't believe I didn't think of doing this code earlier - its always bugged me that you can't use the c-stick for smash attacks in things like training mode.


If you want more details on how to modify these codes or how they work, it is all spelled out on my web site at http://www.zauron.net/smashmeleecodes.php. Hopefully some other smash group out there will find these codes enhance their play. Enjoy!

Not going to test it, but I remember your previous thread.

Super kudos for the "do-it-yourself" attitude, and great job on working this out.

how did you come up with it?

You don't happen to know a method to hack the default settings in VS-mode (2mins and friendly fire off). I'd love to have a hacked iso with tournament settings as default...

I would love Stadium without the transformations

Lava and Randall make those stages what they are though haha

Randall is eww but ditching the wind in Dreamland makes me sad.

Gotta have Randall techskill yo

OMG!!! Do want!
I think I will have to get an AR now.
Only things I dislike are removal of Randall and the stationary platforms on FoD is kind of pointless; it's basically Battlefield.

I would LOVE to have a frozen Poke Stadium, especially for tournaments (I'm sure most people would agree to it, but maybe I'm wrong).

Also, while the dual 1v1 sounds neat, edge hogging someone you aren't even playing would be stupid. :/

See? All our apathy and unwillingness paid off in the end, and arguably to a better conclusion for you.

So you're welcome.

good job by the way lol

Turns out removing Randall was a tad buggy, so I got rid of that part of the code entirely and made a new one.

On Fountain of Dreams - we just have a player in our group that hates those platforms because when they are low to the ground or are rising up from the ground they can screw up combos pretty good - but they aren't stationary, they are just plain gone with this code. So its somewhat of a new formation in that it only has a single floating platform high above in the center, and the main surface below.

Any of the individual stage codes can be turned off by using the information on my site, so you can just turn off the parts you want to and leave the rest as is.

I will say having Green Greens as a playable stage is pretty cool .

I was not able to find a way to make edge hogging not work on players from the other set, however, the point of Dual 1v1 mode is not to guarantee 100% that there's no way to be a jerk and mess with other players' fights, but just to make it so its far less likely to happen on accident. We played using this method all the time anyway - we were just careful to try to stay out of each other's way, but it was often frustrating to die to a random smash from the other group that you happened to get knocked into and caused the occasional yelling match between players.

My efforts to get this code was to allow us to continue using this method (we only get our lunch hour to play, so no one wants to wait out 2 matches whenever they lose) but reduce the amount of irritation from accidental interference. Since being all in the same place still causes a bit of difficulty seeing what's going on, most of the time we are still on opposite ends of the stage and thus far no one has managed to accidentally edge hog someone from the other group since we started using these codes (I've been testing Dual 1v1 mode for about 2 weeks now).

Amazing, Pokemon Stadium without transformations.

Incredible work :D

Awesome stuff.

Now all that's left is... freaking c stick in 1 player mode. someone get that **** done please

This is really cool.

Do you think you could work on a code to make the single player cstick work like the multiplayer cstick?

PW of melee lol

making peach's castle a counterpick..



...too good.

Peach's castle needs the tower in the middle removed to be a cp still...

is it possible to have codes that limit pokemon stadium's transformations to a specific transformation? ie the stage stays on leaf the whole time or only transfers to leaf.

also is it possible to make peach's castle only spawn a certain color switches? or have the stage default on a specific switch formation and never change?

if either of these were made possible i'd buy an AR right away and film more berserker 2 lol

Someone buy Lovage an AR. NOW.

this is actually incredibly useful for me. I just need to find an old ar now

Well some of these code requests are a bit beyond my skill, and honestly I'm not planning to spend all my free time hacking from now on - I really got most of what I wanted (though I'm tempted to take a crack at making it so up=jump can be disabled, but I can't figure out how it would be set on a per-player basis easily even if I could get it to do that).

However, getting the c-stick to work in single player was easy and something I've always wanted but just forgot about, so I added that to the original post. Enjoy .

Yes! C-Stick in single player ftw!

Anyone upload a youtube match of this dual 1v1 in action? Great work Zauron, seriously awesome.

Teczero said:

Does that mean you got the c-stick to not control the camera in training mode too?

If so omgomgomg do want

Can someone confirm if this works on versions besides 1.0?

Click to expand...

Yes the code makes it so in all modes the c-stick does smash attacks instead of controlling the camera, no matter what. It completely disables c-stick camera control.

The code most likely won't work on other versions since the memory addresses vary from version to version. I don't have the other versions and I'm not sure if there's an easy way to know how much to shift the memory addresses to get the same effect on other versions.

OMG

FINALLY I CAN PLAY 1P MODE PROPERLY

Zauron you are a beast.

good **** on these codes but where can i find the v1.0 of ssbm? if its inappropriate to ask for roms here then just tell me a site where i can look it up.

Made a slight change to the Stage code - on Peach's Castle characters with capes and such would have them fluttering all over the place and the little flags on the castle were stuck in a stiff position. Now the wind acts normally but the bullets and switches are still disabled.

Thanks for these awesome codes Zauron!

Hint for those who have a wii and want GC AR: google "action replay v1.14 loader".

So in dual 1v1 the characters can still "push" each other by being nearby?

Yes Dual 1v1 mode is not perfect, it still requires a bit of an honor system, its just easier to prevent accidentally messing with people than it is otherwise.

You can still push people around and edge hog them just like you could your teammate in normal teams with FF turned off. And you can always just stand in the middle of their fight and make it hard for them to see what's going on.

This is not going to work as a tournament setting or anything because of these drawbacks, but if you were already doing free for alls because people didn't want to sit out for as long, but would rather have a more 1v1 feel and trust your friends not to be jerks, this code makes it a lot easier to prevent accidentally injuring/killing a player you weren't intending to fight.

C-stick in single player. You are my hero.

I probably should have asked before ordering, but I bought this:
http://www.datelgaming.com/Gamecube_Action_Replay_p/dus0003.htm
and cannot figure out how to enter codes. Should I have bought this one?
http://www.datelgaming.com/Gamecube_Action_Replay_Max_Evo_p/dus0003 - evo.htm

Also, if I end up having to buy the second one, will I need any additional stuff? It says it just comes with the disc. I have 2 memory cards and I'm guessing you can use a regular memory card instead of the AR specific one. Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Nvm. Thanks Moose.

I love you.
I need to get my 1.0 back from Kris2u now.
****. So amazing.

Oh my god. Zauron, you rule. C-sticking out of multiplayer was the Holy Grail of the AR codes.

.. but the sad thing is that I have 1.2 PAL version. I need someone to convert it!

If anyone is using these, I fixed capes freaking out in Pokemon Stadium and Yoshi's Story and updated the first post.

Also, should this thread be moved to the Melee Workshop, or is that board only for hacks related to changing graphics and sounds and such?

Can somebody please convert the "c-sticking outside of multiplayer mode" code to NTSC V.1.2?

Great codes, btw.

what was the answer to your question?

Subbin before I lose track of this topic again.

1P C-stick wins.

omgh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
