MiSTer FPGA Forum

I've been trying to get one game done a day. Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't.

Weekends I have more time. Not much else to do in lockdown.

I really hope you do get to some of the RPG's like Shining Force and Vay. Dark Wizard too. Shining Force and Vay will have to wait a while, I'm going through games in alphabetical order. I'll get to Dark Wizard well before I get to the others. RPG's will slow me down, for two reasons: 1/ I don't really enjoy them and 2/ In order to cheat on them, ...

I test all the cheats before posting them to make sure they work correctly on MiSTer. It takes time, a lot of time :) I don't know Soul Star (I have it), and I'm sure I'll get to it eventually. If it's an RPG, I will admit, I'm not a fan of them. Although I do try to go through the game as best as possible. I tried some Japanese games, but they're ...

My pleasure. I've never done any Sega cheats before. It's a lot more of a challenge compared to GBA cheats, or even arcade cheats. The Sega CD has 3 banks of ram, and programmers did some interesting things. Hopefully I can knock over a few more game today. +1 for weekends in lockdown. Very little else to do.

After a lengthy discussion with Sorgelig, and the fixing of a few bugs in the SegaCD core, we now have properly working cheats for all memory locations. I'm not sure if this new version is out yet for general public consumption. I can be found on the GitHub page in the issues thread I started. Unfortunately gamehacking.org outputs malformed and bro...

Thanks for your help. I've been chatting / getting help from Sorgelig. I ended up opening a bug report and we've managed to find and fix 2 bugs on the cheat engine (well, Sorgelig found and fixed them, I just pointed out what wasn't working on the MegaCD).

Now, so far, all the cheats I've made work fine.

I'm trying to figure out why some cheats work in some games, but not others. I noticed there was a distinct lack of cheats for games on the Sega CD / Mega CD, so I figured I'd write my own, and share them around (ie post to gamehacking.org), so we can all benefit. Finding / making the cheats is a time consuming, but not overly difficult thing. Work...
