Mario Party 9 [SSQE01]

[MasamuneMarth]

I've been recently hacking this game since i had got it yesterday. It's not much, but here's what i have so far.

Max/Infinite Party Points
05752242 0000270F

Max Points - Fungi Frenzy
056F871B 00000063

Max Points - Bumper Bubbles
0572659B 00000063
*NOTE* the counter will go back to 1 after getting a new balloon, but will go back to 99 when the minigame is over

Max Points - Plunder Ground
0573231B 00000063
*NOTE* kinda the same as the code above, except the point count starts at 00 until it says "Finish", then it goes back to 99.

I'll add more when possible. Currently working on a One Hit Kills Bosses code.

Also, i tried to make a one hit kills Bowser Jr. during the minigames where you have to shoot him down, but it only affected the heart HUD's. it still requires you to hit Bowser Jr. three times.

[Bully@Wiiplaza]

nice but please use ASM/Pointer or you won´t get far...

[roblsnead]

Has there been any one else working on cheat codes for this version of the game?

I would but that requires me to locate and buy or trade the one I have.

[IAMASOMBODY]

For those looking for codes for this version of the game, just use Bully@Wiiplaza's PAL codes. Trust me most of them works for NTSC-U. So it seems that Bully@Wiiplaza can add the codes to the NTSC-U WiiRd database.
There are some that does not work or does not work as intended.
Starting with the one that does not work:
These codes are all hacked by Bully@Wiiplaza.

This code I could not get to work on both the PAL and NTSC-U version of the game. So, maybe I did something wrong?

E0000000 80008000

These code does have effect, but not the way it is intended or has a "fake" effect like for example: the codes may show the value modified but the actual game value is untouched.
Again these codes are all hacked by Bully@Wiiplaza.

The graphic aspect of the value is change, but the actual value remains. Other player can still beat you regardless if P1 has the code enabled or not. Also it appears that P3 also have the codes effect as well.

Cheep Cheep Shot
One Hit Kill
20370D58 80030000
04370D58 38000000
E0000000 80008000
This code does work, however the game goes to an infinite loop animation. Does not freeze the game.

Other then the above codes, the rest of the PAL codes seems to work really well on the NTSC-U version of this game. Kudos to you Bully@Wiiplaza!

[USBGeckoman]

Can anyone please get the Infinite Mini Stars code to work in both Party and Solo mode and for the NTSC-U? Or at least the USA version of the game?

[Bully@Wiiplaza]

thank you for this analysis, IAMASOMBODY. You´re pretty right with these code issues. I´m wondering how my score codes only affect the display?
I could replicate a few of these things also, but not all... I´ll work on it, I´m not done yet with this game. More coming soon! O0

[MasamuneMarth]

Very awesome job there, IAMASOMEBODY!
i never would have guessed that the PAL codes would even work with the NTSC-U version.
thumbs up to you! Excellent job! :D

and my guess on the minigames is that they have 2 kinds of values, the visable ones we know of, and a hidden value, which only appears when a certain action is performed (like Bowser Jr. losing one of his 3 heart points).

also, is it possible for a code to one hit kills the bosses to be made? i've tried, but it only just effected the score of the player.

[Bully@Wiiplaza]

pokepower...
maybe trying the codes out would be kinda useful instead of telling me to port all of them? (Like you did before)
And you are a hacker yourself, go and work on it. It´s your interest to have them ported in the first place, not mine.
Luckily, we´ve nothing to port for this game. ;)

There´s a value for display, real and one fake (I remember).

Didn´t you check the codes I made?
One Hit Kill Bowser Junior (3 hearts eliminated at once).

I know how to make it work, also did this to Cheep Cheep.
But the animation gets stuck on Health Bar Bosses... I need to figure the fix. :p

[IAMASOMBODY]

@Bully@Wiiplaza
Probably the reason why that the problem cannot be all replicated, is due to that you're using PAL version of the game. I tested the PAL codes on an NTSC-U version of this game. Other then that Great work and your welcome! Keep up the good work :cool:.

@pokepower
Thank you for the complement! Like you, I would have not ever thought about using codes from one region to another region, because by default the always never work directly, or at least not without porting them. The upper-memory areas of the codes tends to be region free though in my experience. The reason I decided to make an exception is that I was trying to port the codes over to NTSC-U and the results were shows exactly the same codes as the PAL. This prompted me to just simply try the PAL codes directly, into NTSC-U using WiiRd and to my surprised most of them worked!

I tell you this game is a pain in the arse to hack, I tried my hands at ASM, and that was an epic fail LOL. I know some ASM commands, but don't know how to use them, how to put them together in Asmwiird, or it could be that I don't know wtf I am doing :D.
I have a couple codes of my own for NTSC-U:

The activator codes was hacked by Bully@Wiiplaza and will work on NTSC-U version of this game. The activator is used in one of my codes

Notes:
Hold your button(s) to keep moving.
Good button placement is required or multiple button combo is recommended, or will render the game unplayable in Bob-omb Factory stage by accidentally activating it to soon aka player order screen.
The graphical aspect may remain ineffective, but the actual move counter is effected by the code.

[Bully@Wiiplaza]

my codes were already working...

[IAMASOMBODY]

my codes were already working...

It was? :o That's strange, the Infinite Steps and the Infinite Mini Stars codes of yours did not work for me. Perhaps it's because I used WiiRd and USBGecko?  ???

nope, I always use my USB Gecko for coding related stuff.

NOTE: For some odd reason it tends to freeze on points of the game on solo when the board or animation changes or when activated out of turn for some unknown reason.

i would love to see a code that lets you alter the amount of stars the mini game rewards are for regular and battle mini games..

like upping the amounts each place wins.. i wonder if a code like this is even possible

sure it is, could be tricky though (to increase the reward by some factor like x4)
