I need help with Melee in Dolphin and action replay

[GimR]

I'm trying to record some footage in Dolphin for a trailer I'm making. Everything works fine until I turn one of the premade codes on for melee(I need debug mode on so I can freely move the camera around). It just crashed. has anyone else had this problem? If so were you able to fix it?

You should try looking for help at the melee workshop.

 

[Dan Salvato]

You might not have the right version of Melee. Make sure you have v1.02. There's a version converter floating around.

 

[GimR]

How can I tell what version ISO I have?

 

[Dan Salvato]

Throw Link's boomerang, and use his zair right before he catches it. If the boomerang cancels the hookshot animation, you have version 1.00.

Or just download the converter and try converting from 1.00 to 1.02. If you don't have 1.00 then the conversion will simply do nothing.

 

[GimR]

yeah, the converter did nothing. I looked it up and other people also have problems with Dolphin crashing when trying to implement Action Replay Codes

 

[Dan Salvato]

Try this code:

024D68BC 00000602


Make sure it's the only code you have enabled.

 

[GimR]

boomerang cancels the hookshot btw. I'll try that code right now

okay, so I put that code in and it worked. What code is it?

 

[Dan Salvato]

All the default Dolphin codes have something like this as their first line:

00084DC5 08000000

If there's a top line with "08000000" then REMOVE THE LINE and the code should work just fine.

 

[GimR]

Okay, I've got codes working now except for the (M) code I got from AR central. It's only one line and doesn't have 08000000 in it

I got it to work by converting the Action Replay Code myself instead of letting dolphin do it, thanks!

 

[Dan Salvato]

Yeah, don't use any (M) code either. Dolphin doesn't need them.

Okay, so I figure I'd rather revive this thread than post a new one.
I tried removing the 08000000 line from all the codes, and now they do nothing. Before that, they caused the emulation to instantly stop as soon as the game tried to advance past the title screen (I'll assume that's the crash issue that GIMR was having). Any ideas?
