Remove Countdown Font [Vega]

I'm sure somebody has made this already, but it's not on the forum. So I went ahead and made my own version.

Start Boost Modifier [Vega]

This code allows you to set what kind of start boost you get at the beginning of the race. There are two different configurations to this code. 1st config effects both you and CPUs. 2nd config allows you to choose between effecting you or effecting CPUs.

ZZZZ = Start Boost 'Index'

ZZZZ Values:
FFFF = Blowout
0000 = No Boost
0001 = Small Boost
0002 = Less Small Boost
0003 = Medium Boost
0004 = Good Boost
0005 = Perfect Boost / Perfect Start

X (2nd config only)

X Values
1 = Code only effects You
0 = Code only effects CPUs

Let's say I wrote a code that uses the Hollywood Registers or the GPIO unit.

I've noticed (from the PPC side via a simple Gecko code) if I write something like to light up the Disc Drive or change the output color of the VI_SOLID, it can only take effect via Virtual Mode.

If I execute the same snippets of code in Real Mode or during an Exception, there is zero effect. I've tried loading/storing to 0x0D00XXXX, 0x0D80XXXX, 0xCD00XXXX, and 0xCD80XXXX during Real Mode. No effects/changes happen. The game doesn't crash at all using any of those address schemes, it's just as if the snippets of code don't exist.

Can somebody explain this?

Enables the flag for mirror mode in time trials.

EDIT (7/25/2022): For unknown reasons, this code is having issues on MKWii (problems of IABR being set and 'overusing' Resume button). Code works fine on DBZ BT3. Code will reside in this forum for the time being.

Instruction Breakpoint [Vega]



GCN Port 1 Only

Works for all Wii Games that implement GCN usage. Obviously meant only for real Hardware, code is useless on Dolphin.

This code allows you to set an Instruction Breakpoint on any *Virtual* Address (for noobs: Virtual just means any plain jane address). Once the Breakpoint has been triggered, the game will be halted. At this point, you can press your "Resume" button to continue from the Instruction Breakpoint until you hit the Breakpoint again, thus the game now halts again. The code also has the feature of turning on/off the Instruction BP at any time.

With this code, you can set up an Instruction BP on an address that occurs once every frame, thus having the ability to "Frame-Step" on real Hardware.

• XXXXXXXX = Instruction BP Address
  
• WWWW = Button to Turn On Breakpoint
  
• TTTT = Button to Turn Off Breakpoint (there are two TTTT values to fill in, make sure they both match)
  
• RRRR = Resume Button (resume Game after a BP hit, but keep the BP on)
  

• Address's 0x800002FE & 800002F4
  
• Address's 0x800009EC thru 0x80000A2F
  
• Address's 0x80001500 thru 0x8000158F
  
• Instruction Address BP Exception Vector
  
• Program Exception Vector
  
• Decrementer Exception Vector
  

Win VR/BR When Disconnecting [Unnamed]


As the name says, this code makes you win VR/BR if a DC occur. It gives you the same amount of VR/BR as if you would finish first.

Upper/Lower VR/BR Change Matrix Modifier [Unnamed]


This code modifies the positive and/or the negative Values of the VR/BR Change Matrix. An Explanation what that means is found below.

NTSC-U
04528D3C 3860XXXX
04528DEC 3860YYYY

PAL
0452D1B0 3860XXXX
0452D260 3860YYYY

NTSC-J
0452CB30 3860XXXX
0452CBE0 3860YYYY

NTSC-K
0451B208 3860XXXX
0451B2B8 3860YYYY


XXXX Values = New positive Values in Hex
YYYY Values = New negative Values in Hex


To understand how this code works I have to explain you briefly how the calculation of the VR/BR change works:

"For the purposes of rating calculation, each player is paired individually with each other player and a change is computed. The winner of those two players gains rating according to the change value and the loser of those two players loses rating according to the change. The total change in rating is simply the sum of the losses and gains of that player." (from wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Player_Rating)

All the changes can be summarized in a Matrix containing the changes of all players. In the upper part of the Matrix, all positive Values are found, in the lower part of the Matrix, all negative Values are found. I have an example for you (this was calculated using Wiimms SZS tools, credits to Wiimm for his Tools):


              9000  8000  7000  5000    Sum
1. 9000     X       +9     +6      +2     +17
2. 8000    -9        X      +9      +4     +4
3. 7000    -6       -9       X       +6      -9
4. 5000    -2       -4      -6        X       -12


The new code now modifies the entries of the matrix. The upper code line changes all Values of the upper part of the Matrix, the blue values. The lower code line changes all Values of the lower part of the Matrix, the red values.
You can use this code for example to modify the lower part to 0, so that you will not be able to lose VR/BR anymore.

Important Note: Only you will see the effects on your screen. Other players will still have normal VR/BR Changes.
