Hacking Circle Pad patches for Super Mario 64 DS and other games (in TwilightMenu with TWPatcher and RTCom)

[solidgui3]

Hello,I would like to request a patch for transformers: deceptions,If it's not too much trouble.

 

[JASONJACKSON1948]

Any way to use these circle pad patches for all games from the usrcheat.dat, while also keeping the general cheats (infinite lives, etc.) in the usrcheats.dat file from the cheats database? i have no idea how or if i can combine .dat files lol

 

[solidgui3]

You can manually add the cheats from one into another

any way to get the cheats from the .dat files themselves? opening them in notepad is just incomprehensible text

 

[solidgui3]

There's a file with the codes themselves in the main post

On the OP there is a link when you click on the r4cce. which is the program used to edit and add codes

This person combined the regular usrcheat.dat with all these patches, I checked it for a few games and it looks good:

I need some help, I was using circle pad cheat before ther was "c-stick to control camera" support in kingddom hearts games.
I am using an european new nintendo 2ds xl with twilight menu ++ set to USA, all games work perfectly but after added c-stick support, even when using the cheat without it, the game really wants to push the camera up.
is this a bug? DId someone encounter some simmilar? As I said, it is only kingdom hearts 358/2 days, re:coded works fine, I checked both USA roms and EU, can someone please help?

I use on Super Mario 64 and work fine but how to use different game? I need made same steps game for game?

Everything should be the same for other games, just grab the correct cheatcode for your game and that's all

Metroid only for N3DS?

Yes, the "main feature" of my mod was to use the CStick and gyroscope on N3DS. The former is not present on O3DS, and the latter has a different interface and I can't get it to work. The best I can do for O3DS is to map the camera to CirclePad (in case you're left handed or something)

Okay, I'll check this out

This is indeed a bug. I have fixed it and reuploaded the cheat. Please test it and thanks for reporting.

I have downloaded the cheat for kingdom hearts 358/2 days and have swaped it with r4cee, it now works perfectly, I am greatful for quick anwser and for fixing and reuploading the cheat so quickly, keep doing what you're doing, it's cool

The cheat file is not a plain text file. That's why we need R4CCE to edit it. I made you up a usrcheat.dat with just the codes for this because you said you had difficulty adding cheats with R4CCE and this is the minimum file to get this one game working. You can rename your existing cheat file to any other name and use this one for MPH, and rename mine and restore your original when you use other games.

If you feel up to using R4CCE, you should add 2 cheats to the entry for Metroid Prime Hunters USA with no version number (attached so this post isn't loooong):

Dual Analog (copied from the text file from the metroid.zip on the first post)

A=L to shoot, X=A to confirm in menus (copied from the text box at the bottom of the NDS remapper linked to in the first post, with: Cpad unmapped from dpad, 3DS A= NDS A unchecked, A=L checked, X=X unchecked and X=A checked)

What point in adding cheats with R4CCE are you struggling with?

Hi, thanks for helping me earlier. Do you think you could make another control modification for me? I would like Super Mario 64 DS to switch the L and R buttons.

Thank you very much for this patches! Been enjoying Rune Factory 3 a lot with this! I'm sorry for asking, the same could maybe be done for Rune Factory 1 and 2? Thank you so much again!

https://shocoman.github.io/sm64ds_remap_codegen/ will let you remap SM64DS controls however you want, and generate a code to copy into R4CCE. It has the advantage over the generic version that it tells you what each button *does*, not just what button did that thing originally. You need to specify what version of the game you're using, and you can remap the different control modes separately.

Thanks, SM64DS is so much better now.

I have another question. I heard someone say that it's better to switch to Touch Mode for this C-Pad patch. Is that true? Does switching to Touch Mode make things work smoother?

Hey guys, I'm playing SM64DS, but how do I play recroom games? I'm not able to choose them from the title screen and when I go up to the drawer, nothing happens. I can't talk to it or anything. I'm playing the widescreen modded USA v1.1 with the C-Pad mod. I also can't draw on the faces of Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario on the title screen either.

@felixsrg @solidgui3 I've finished the mods

Hello,I would like to request a patch for transformers: deceptions,If it's not too much trouble.

I could miss something, but the general movement seems to work fine (plus a little bit for the scanner and steering a car). Although, I couldn't get it to work when shooting with a blaster (on Y), so it's still 8-directional.

Personally, the only thing I can think of is that it hides unnecessary buttons from the touch screen. And the third control mode ("Dual" or something) won't work properly at all, because it maps different keys to the DPad (cpad will still trigger it)

Works fine for me on this exact version, both from the menu and from the drawer. I didn't test with the widescreen mod though.
I would suggest you to try it without any mods first, and only if it works, enable and test them one by one.

Rune Factory ones work gret, thank you so much! This really does add a new level of gameplay, I will make sure to enjoy them anew, thank you again!

Yeah, I and a modder who makes SM64DS mods figured out that the recroom mini games have been removed by the widescreen patch made by gamemasterplc. He also removed the introduction custcenes in New Super Mario Bros for the DS. I don't think it's possible to get the recroom mini games back from a widescreen patched rom of SM64DS and I doubt that it will be possible to get the cutscenes back from a widescreen patched rom of NSMB.

I've added the shoco's Circle Pad patches (update 2023-08-13) to the DeadSkullzJr's NDS(i) Cheat Database (update 06/06/2023). I hope that I haven't done any mistake.
Thanks go to @shoco and @DeadSkullzJr.

Thank you so much for your work! So far these mods/patches have been wonderful, for Super Mario 64 DS it's literally a game changer on 3ds. ^w^

Usually I'm not the type to ask for a request but there's one game in particular that I think well benefit as much as super mario 64 ds, which is "Super Monkey Ball Touch and Roll". This game already has touch screen implementation for analog movement as well. I honestly think that'll make it more playable to some super monkey ball fans who missed out on this title due to controls.
