Dolphin Gecko Troubles.

I'm having some trouble getting any Gecko codes for Radiant Dawn to work on my Dolphin emulator. It is Dolphin 3.0 and the codes I received were by clicking the "Download Codes (WiiRD Database)" option. None of them work, on either my PAL or my North American versions (yes, I have different codes for each) I also have cheats enabled. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dolphin changes the addresses. I don't know why, but they offset the addresses.

If the microsoft excel calculator I have doesn't work for you, then you're pretty much SOL unless you port them yourself.

This Calculator is the one I used to get this to work.

Thanks a lot for the help. I'm trying not to sound like a complete idiot, but I'm not that experienced at all working with any of this type of stuff, how am I supposed to use this to change the codes?

Open it in Microsoft Excel.

Copy the first code if it's a character code... like say for example... Micaiah's EXP value... Paste it on the left one. Your proper result should be on the very right.

Thanks, you really are a huge help. I just have one last question. Say I wanted to put in the control enemies code, or the end battle when hitting end turn code. Where would I put them?

Those should work as is without even using the calculator.

Be warned. You should take out the button activators. Dolphin doesn't support them. You should use savestates and then enable and disable codes after restarting dolphin and then using the savestates to get back where and when you want to activate the codes.

So I enable, activate the code, savestate, disable, and then restart on the savestate? Also, how do I activate the codes without using buttons? Thanks again for your help.

You don't activate the code via buttons. Because Dolphin doesn't support those codetypes.

You take out the button activators on the code itself.

Quick Game Over (push B+A on WiiRemote then end move) [g6flavor]

283D78DA 00000C00 <--- These lines

003CAFFC 00000002

E0000000 80008000 <--- Like this

It ends up being:

Quick Game Over (push B+A on WiiRemote then end move) [g6flavor]

003CAFFC 00000002

As soon as you move. It will be a game over. Same concept with other codes, such as the instant win or chapter warping codes.

Basically, you savestate WITHOUT codes. Enable them, and then load the savestate to resume where you left off.

You stop Dolphin emulation. Check on the Gecko codes tab (by right clicking the game on the Dolphin menu, clicking properties and enabling/disabling codes under the Gecko Codes tab) and make sure to enable it. Then start the game again, load the savestate.

If you want to disable a code, for example, one that's not game over. Savestate with it on, close emulation, uncheck the code, start emulation again, and load the savestate.

Thank you very much, this made the Quick End Turn work for me. What would I get rid of in this one?

$Make All Enemies Player Controlled, push 1&+ ON,1&- OFF v1* [g6flavor]

283D02FA 00000210

20666C68 705F6E6F

00666C84 00000000

E0000000 80008000

283D02FA 00001200

20666C68 705F6E6F

00666C84 00000001

E0000000 80008000

Or this one

$Make All Enemies Player Controlled, push 1&+ ON,1&- OFF v2* [g6flavor]

283D02FA 00000210

20697784 01000000

00697784 00000000

E0000000 80008000

283D02FA 00001200

20697784 00000000

00697784 00000001

E0000000 80008000

Thank you so much.

Essentially, those are two seperate codes into one with button activators.

First part:

283D02FA 00000210 <---

20666C68 705F6E6F <---

00666C84 00000000

E0000000 80008000 <---

Taking out those:

00666C84 00000000

Makes all enemies player controlled.

Second part:

283D02FA 00001200 <---

20666C68 705F6E6F <---

00666C84 00000001

E0000000 80008000 <---

Taking out those:

00666C84 00000001

Makes all formerly enemy controlled units turned player controlled back to enemy controlled.

Be warned. DO NOT BATTLE SAVE while enemies are under your control. Loading that battle save will make them PERMANENTLY on your team.

Thanks, it still doesn't work for me. Does that mean I should use the other version? If so, could you do that one too? I hate to be so needy, but I can't myself. Thanks in advance.

Uhh... If you mean the program to use it with... it's a Microsoft Excel sheet.

Now as for figuring out the offsets to shift it by in the first place? The Microsoft Calculator.

Hello, I would like to use this calculator, but it appears that the link is no longer active. Could you send it to me? Thanks!

Hi. I'm sorry for my english... I'm brazilian.

I did it. First, I already checked my dolphin emulator and the cheat codes has been activated. After, I went in [properties] of radiant dawn [gecko codes]

Then, calculating...

Micaiah 99EXP

00886D8F 00000063

+B880

results:

0089260F 00000063

right?

I modified in [edit configs] and don't work...

Do I need to change other thing?

I did the same thing and it didn't work.

I even tried to change the position of the codes, but i got nothing.

I remember, about 4 months ago, that i played this game and used gecko codes and it did work, but now i can't make it run with the codes :/

Any tips, dudes? Thx btw
