I was wondering if its possible to have cheats from the cheat.dat file from gbatemp for Dragon Quest V into a SCC file. Thanks

[jphriendly]

*Edit* Seems the first scc file I uploaded doesn't work. I have made another file and it is tested working (meaning the menu comes up on startup). You can grab it below.

Also, I attached dat2cht2scc which can be used to convert the dat files to usable SC format for future reference (hope it's ok to upload here).

sorry.could I just confirm, as I can't really follow up, the second file is the Scc fix for DQV?

Correct. It is named that way as that is how dat2cht2scc exports it's data. That is the rom id instead of the release number.

thanks, I'll retry..I was kinda worried when I renamed it and the cheat screen didn't pop up.

Did everything to the letter and the cheat screen doesn't pop up...I hate "super" card...

After running through ar2cht you should get:

Use the r4 cheat software and grab the game id and add it to the bottom like this:

Convert to scc with cht2scc and rename the scc file to 3426.scc (the release number if supported in ndsinfo.dat) or YV5P_9d159278.scc (the actual rom id information) and stick in your /scshell/cheat/ directory.

That should do it! Now, this is only how I USED to do the converts. I now use R4 Cheat Code Editor to add my codes. I then run the saved dat file through dat2cht2scc, which I posted earlier. This has proven, atleast for me, to be a lot less of a hassle than doing it the way it is suggested on the SC site. Hope this helps.

*edit*
Here's a converted version of the cheat codes in Narin's dat. Converted using usrcheat.dat (I run YSMenu as my main loader) and running it through dat2cht2scc. This includes exp multiplier codes as well as the bypass and a bunch of other codes.

I may make up a quick web page that I will post all the cheats that are produced from dat2cht2scc. For those that would like to use the codes contained in Narin's dat file. While jmr's work on keeping the scc cheats thread up to date is amazing, this is just a much simpler way of getting newer cheats for your SC imo.

Hey guys, I'm having some issues with this. Hopefully someone can help.

Right now, my cheat screen displays two cheats: Piracy Check B and Backlight Code. I assume the Backlight Code doesn't matter. I've tried with both Piracy Check B on and off and I still can't get past the ship captain (if I talk to him and then exit the room, the ship still won't dock).

Is it possible I need to start a new game with the piracy check on/off (whichever one is correct) to get past him?

Also, cheats in red are off, right? I should have the cheats in green, correct?

I renamed the file to identify with the release number (3424) rather than the original ROM ID so it sorts more nicely. Could this have caused the problem?
(I kind of doubt this is the issue because the cheats are displaying correctly when I do l+r+start+up)

Also, my firmware is only version 1.85 from March 2008. I've seen some references to "unofficial" firmware, do I need to try getting a different firmware for this to work?
