I made a tutorial on how to use breakpoints.
I hope you can understand what I say because i'm Dutch xwink

I used this assembly quick reference (http://class.ee.iastate.edu/cpre211/labs/quickrefPPC.html)


Please give feedback, this is my first video tutorial ever (http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n31/Romaap/cf1a750f.jpg)

Sound works completely fine and all but i get no video, was i supposed to? Did not work with my VLC. Tried WMP and it worked fine.
Dont worry about language, you're fully understandable and you actually helped me a step further to understand how breakpoints can be used differently than pure RAM codes.

+1 Thank You.

If you understand this, then it is much easier to understand ASM.
This is almost the same as ASM.

thanks for the tut. your accent isnt that bad. if you want to upload onto youtube try using the bulk uploader. it works almost 98%

Very good work!

Only issue I had was: "Stw" -> stores a word and you said a word is a 16 bit value.. this is the only issue: a word in power PC cases is 32 bit.. but other than that.. excellent!

great stuff, thanks dude!

just to note in case nobody realized: what I meantioned in the announcement.. here's the first demo: MP4 video directly embedded!

thanks for the feedback, and thanks Link for hosting it (http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n31/Romaap/cf1a750f.jpg)

WOW great quality :D

Hmm... since a pointer is needed when doing a "normal" code for Mario's health, isn't is needed when doing an ASM code?

Nice video Romaap, your accent is just fine. I was able to understand you very well. You did very well at explaining this!! DO MORE! Would be nice if you could get a video capture device instead of holding the cam up to the TV, but it was acceptable in this instance. Nice use of a camcorder held up to the TV. It also shows that it was real and not editing magic.

Im glad someone else finally did a tutorial video. Would you like me to host this for you on the BSoD HTTP File server? Im not a fan of MegaUpload and Rapidshare. I would be more than happy to provide space and bandwidth for you.

the stw command stores the value to a address that is stored in a register + an offset (stw rD, O(rA))
O is the offset and rA is the address, that address is stored in the registers so it is changed when you enter another level.


I feel honored :D

just out of interest which is more stable ram write or asm?

They are both very stable if you know what you're doing.
But ASM can have some dangerous results if you mess with it too much.
So if you just make an ASM code without knowing what it does and run it, it can freeze the game, do some weird things to the game or (according to brkirch) maybe brick your wii. but that will be very unlikely. :P

oh that happened to me once, i tried to make a code yesterday so that you can have unlimited friends on ur friend roster in ssbb so i found the address which shows how many people are on your friend list and i nopped it and i got stuck in the friend roster, next thing is (not responding), i lost my search and i was stuck in the friend roster and had to turn my wii off

Very Very Very nice Romaap!  :) This will help alot!

one thing confuses me say if i was making a code like marios health from foxxs tutorial you search for the value do what foxx does but i dont understand how do you find the other lines i understand the end line but where does the 2nd line come from cause if your searching for a code you find its value and that how do you find the other multiple lines?  :confused: sorry if that made no sence (i dont have a usb gecko but its a question thats been bugging me)

What do you mean?

never mind I cant explain it

Hmmm can you explain a bit more? But I think I know what you mean...
there are some codetypes you need to use that take up other lines

nice vid dude

Wow... sorry for bumping, but I really have to say my thanks!!!

Thanks ._.

LMAO

Thanks. Very interesting vid.  ;D

nice vid

great Video, wish i had seen this sooner. Thanks alot,
time to have some fun.lol

wow thanks man !!all you guys that ar hero memeber or legendary really know how to explain those stuff!! ;)

Well done! Thanks for taking the time to explain that, I just got my USB Gecko and that kind of Video is making it easy to learn how to use it properly. ;D

Thanks, Brad

This is making more and more sense to me now...huh...hopefully I will be getting less frustrated now and make some good codes to post to this forum..

Thanks for the Tut.
This will certainly aid in my quest as I learn the Gecko.
More Tuts. would be nice.  :)

With the site's last downtime, i upload the video as a back to the Gecko FB page
