The Do's & Don'ts' Of Adding & Editing Cheat Codes.
Q: Why don't the cheats work in 1964 ?
I ticked what i wanted to use but it does nothing on
all games i have tried.
What can i do to make them work ?
A: Make sure you have the Use Cheat Codes ticked, if not then Tick the Box.
(see
picture below)
Clicking on the Use Cheat Codes will activate the cheats effects in
your game.
If you would like to leave your cheats selected but wish the
cheats to be inactive
Just untick the box to stop the cheat codes being active in the
game.
Q: Why cant i
see any cheats in the Menu, it is Blank ?
A: Well this could be several reasons.
01: The game you are playing has no cheat support at the moment,
so either follow the links to a site
to add yourself some cheats or wait until they are
support for that
game.
02: Make sure that the 1964.cht file is in the
main 1964 Root folder .
03: You are using a different
Rom Version and Only Good [!] V1.0 versions are
supported in the 1964.cht File, so although you see the Cheats in the menu they will
not work as
Your Rom is a v1.1 or v1.2 etc
All
version Roms need Different Version Cheat Code.
So
unless you are using a Only version or V1.0 [!] Version of the Rom,
the cheats just will not work.
04: Check your
Rom with Goodn64 it might be because of the following reason.
You have a Rom that is a Bad or
an Alternative Rom with a different Internal Name
that isn't recognised.
You can do 2 things here: to fix this
problem:
04A: Check
Paulob's "GoodN64
Bad2Good Patches"
you will also need
IPSWin 2.0
to Patch the Rom.
These are available from the
superb
Emutalk.net
Downloads
>
Misc >
Tools
and see if it has your Roms name in there, if it does then patch it to be recognised as
the Good Rom
version leaving you to play on
with no problem at all.
04B: You would need to
add a cheat into the blank menu and then close 1964.
Then go into the root folder of 1964 & open the 1964.cht file in a text
editor.
Search for your Games name:
In your case Super Mario 64 Internal Name = [SUPER MARIO 64]
so search for [SUPER MARIO 64]
Once you have found it:
Copy what you need to a new blank page now copy
the Region Rom codes only to it.
All Countries: ,0=0,
USA - NTSC : ,1=0,
Japan - NTSC : ,2=0,
USA & Japan NTSC: ,3=0, [In other words JU Region]
Europe - PAL: ,4=0,
Australia - PAL: ,5=0,
France - PAL: ,6=0,
Germany - PAL: ,7=0,
[SUPER MARIO 64]
NumberOfGroups=(Amount of Cheats)
Cheats Name,1="Cheats Note",0,Code,
Cheats Name,(Region),Code,
Now once you delete all the other regions on that new page and are only
left with your
region, you then count the
number of cheats you have & put it in the:
NumberOfGroups=(amount of
Cheats)
you then copy that and then go back to the 1964.cht file and scroll to
the very bottom
where you will see the
one you added earlier.
Paste the one you just copied under the new one and then copy the new internal Name
onto the one below.
So it ends up looking like:
[SUPERMARIO64]
NumberOfGroups=(Amount of Cheats)
Cheats Name,1="Cheats Note",0,Code,
Cheats Name,(Region),Code,
Now delete the one above leaving this one the only new one added.
Save As and then say
ok/Yes to overwriting the file and then close.
Happy Cheating!
05: You are probably trying to use this
cheat file with a older version of 1964.
The cheat file higher then v0.8.3 was designed only to work with the
0.8.3 & higher.
Q: How do i
use cheat codes in 1964 ?
A: For a full Visual Explanation on using Cheats click on
the
Using Cheats
link
Q: Where do i find cheat codes to add myself
into the Cheat file ?
A: You can find a list of links by going online to:
Emu64cheats & then
Cheat Sites.
Q: How do i add cheat codes in 1964 ?
A: Click on
the
Adding
Cheats link for a full explanation.
But please remember that you do not need to add
Enable or Keycodes codes.
These are only used on the real Console Cheat devices,
1964 does not need them.
Q: Can i add
or edit cheat codes in 1964
without opening the cheat file in a text editor ?
A: Yes you can add, edit & delete through
the GUI.
Click the
Adding link for more information on
Editing and Deleting
(it will be on the bottom of the page)
Q: Can i add or edit codes in the 1964.cht file in a text
editor ?
A: yes, but 1st: i'd have to say you dont need to, as you can do all
this through the GUI
but if you feel you want to then...
Open the Cheat File In Word pad, & search the Name of
the Game & Region.
Example: SUPER MARIO 64
Once you have, Make sure that you look at how the
Cheats are written in the file.
[SUPER MARIO 64]
NumberOfGroups=6
Infinite Energy & Breath,1=0,8133B21E-08FF,
Infinite Lives,1=0,8033B21D-0064,
Infinite Energy & Breath,4=0,813094DE-08FF,
Infinite Lives,4=0,803094DD-0064,
Infinite Energy & Breath,2=0,81339EAE-08FF,
Infinite Lives,2=0,80339EAD-0064,
Also If you would like to write a note to the code
like:
Example:
Ostrich Mario,1="Mario runs with his head
buried in the ground",0,8033B3BC-0090,
The note will now be displayed in the cheats menu
when
you click on the chosen cheat code
it will be displayed on the right hand side along with
the code/s & the country code.
Notice how the codes are written & how the code's are Separated by
a -
like XXXXXXXX-XXXX, & not all in one code XXXXXXXXXXXX,
(If adding them through the cheat menu though. either way is fine)
also in case you are wondering, the ,1=0, shows us the Country
code (Region) ,1=
& if you want the code on ready to use the 0, is off & 1, is on.
The
NumberOfGroups= is the amount of cheats in that Game.
Regions
most of the time are in the same group unless they have a
different Header
like
SUPERMARIO64, Super Mario 64 or SuperMario64 .
So for each region make sure if writing them through the .cht file
using Text Editor
that you know what the correct code for that region is:
[All Countries: is the Default Setting],
but do not
use, only use the Code for Country, & you can not go
wrong ;)
All Countries: 0
USA - NTSC
: 1
Japan - NTSC : 2
USA & Japan NTSC: 3 [In other words JU Region] IE: 1080
Snowboarding
Europe - PAL: 4
Australia - PAL: 5
France - PAL: 6
Germany - PAL: 7
Q: Is there a limit to how many codes i can i put in a game,
and what would
happen if i went over it ?
A: You can put 500 cheats in per game, IE: NumberOfGroups=500.
(This also includes all regions of that game combined)
so if there was only U cheats for the game !!
you could
use that entire amount of 500 for that one game.
If you Had both U & E Region Codes, or even all regions
like U,E,A,F, & G
Codes for the one NumberOfGroups then try to Balance it out
& do not
go over the limit that is set.
If you were to put more codes in 1964 through a text editor & not
change the
NumberOfGroups=
only the last cheats that was in there would show up in the cheat
menu.
But when entered through the Cheats Menu it will Automatically
change the
NumberOfGroups=
You can put in 100 codes per cheat.
IE: All
Guns,1=0,xxxxxxxx-xxxx,xxxxxxxx-xxxx, (up to 100) Codes per line.
There is also no real limit to the notes as long as they are in
reason.
If you was to try to write an Essay in the fields then it will end
up truncated
& send the
codes themself messed up.
so like the above example:
Ostrich
Mario,1="Mario runs with his head buried in the
ground",0,8033B3BC-0090,
you should have no problem adding or even editing your notes,
just make
them informative & to the point.
Q: Can i use Stacked Activators for hacked moves,in No Mercy ?
A: No at this moment in time 1964 does not support these.
Q: I have seen this Cheat code on a site but it starts with a 50,
88, 89, D0, D1, D2 number.
and what about the ones ending with ?? Can i use this In
the 1964 cheat File.
A: Yes you can, in fact there are already many many codes just like
it in the cheat file.
Previous Versions of 1964 never had these capabilities
implemented correctly
and have just been introduced into version 0.8.3 & higher
How the 50
Codes work will be explained a little further down.
The 88, & 89 Codes are GS (GameShark)/AR (Action Replay) Button Codes !
and they are available to use
Via the F8 On your Keyboard
to use on 1964 for a Quick
injection code like Press F8 for 99
coins.
The D0,D1,D2 Codes are Activator Codes !
& are used to activate the
use of a Codes at a push of a button like
Press L to Levitate, Press
R for Full Health Etc.
As for the Values ending in ?? These are modifier codes & can not be
used in 1964.
Modifier means to change the Value (00??) to change either laps to a
race,
number of Coins,
a Play as multiple choices of Characters,
or even What level to
start on.
But you can always just put in the values you want & name the Cheat
Play as Neo Conker,1="Do not use this with another Play as
Option",0,
that way you can still use the codes & just warn through a note etc.
Q: Are there any codes that i can not use because they are not
supported ?
A: Yes, there are Codes that are not supported & all those codes are
listed below.
Here is a list of codes that are & not supported.
Supported Codes: N 6 4 C O D E T Y P E S

Q: You said something about Serial repeaters (patch Codes) how do
they work ?
A: The 50 numbers = Serial Repeaters (Patch Codes) What they do is
patch (compress)
100's of codes down to a small Patched Version.
example: California Speed Have All
Cars,1=0,50001504-0000,800AAE5B-0001,
50001504 0000,800AAE5B 0001 = 21 Codes:
Changing by 4 Hex Higher in
the last Digit in the Memory
Each time & the start off point is the
2nd code after the 50 Patch.
Take a look & count up the 4 Hex jump.
To help you understand how the numbers in Hex go up
The Hex Count goes from 0-9, A-F & then 10-19, 1A-1F & so on.
So where the Decimal count goes from 0-255 Its Hex Equivalent =
00-FF
so if you can imagine a decimal count of 0-31 the hex Count would be
0-1F
Dec:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31
Hex: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, A, B, C, D, E,
F,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1A,1B,1C,1D,1E,1F
So on and upwards, and that should give you the idea how the Hex Count
works.
So then how do we make this Patch 50001504-0000,800AAE5B-0001,
Well the 50 patch codes works like this.
You tell the patch how many codes there are & how much they change
from each other.
Now this is a Serial repeater, Meaning that the main memory Address...
has the same Value.
The memory Address being the 3rd to 5th number & the Value the last
4 9th to 12th.
The 1st to 2nd code is a standard 8 Bit = 80 this also indicates
that the value
will only be the last 2 digits & will only go as high as FF the
equivalent of a Dec 255.
Lets look at the code we are going to see change from:
800AAE5B-0001
- 800AAEAB-0001,
800AAE5B-0001,
800AAE5F-0001,
800AAE63-0001,
800AAE67-0001,
800AAE6B-0001,
800AAE6F-0001,
800AAE73-0001,
800AAE77-0001,
800AAE7B-0001,
800AAE7F-0001,
800AAE83-0001,
800AAE87-0001,
800AAE8B-0001,
800AAE8F-0001,
800AAE93-0001,
800AAE97-0001,
800AAE9B-0001,
800AAE9F-0001,
800AAEA3-0001,
800AAEA7-0001,
800AAEAB-0001,
You can see by looking at the last Digit of the address,
that it is
going up by 4 Hex on each Code.
Now all we have to find out is how many codes there are.
So lets start with a plain 50000000-0000, to begin with until we
know how many codes
and what the
increase is.
Starting from the 1st code we can count it up to 21 codes at a 4 Hex
Jump each time.
We now know that there are 21 codes so we add that in like this.
How many is 21 in Hex ?
The guide above tells us that 21 = 15 so we will add that in
50001500-0000,
Good, now how many does it go up by 4, so we add that in
50001504-0000,
So now we add that serial Repeater to the 1st code
50001504-0000,800AAE5B-0001,
& there you go, 21 codes brought down to the number of 2.
You can also add a long line of Patches that could amount to a huge
amount
but would
it look like 10 Codes but you could also have as much as:
500 codes in
one patch.
A Question of regions.
As i always say, & really can not stress enough.
Do not try to add NTSC (U) (Gameshark) Cheat Codes
to PAL (E) Games.
You will find a link for both PAL (E) & NTSC (U) Region Games
on The
Emu64cheats
Website.
If there is something you are still unsure of that isn't covered in
