The infinite Ammo code ported please

[ceevee]

Can anyone create infinite time when fighting bosses?

[dcx2]

I tried making an infinite time code, but I couldn't find any timers.  I can keep trying later, but I didn't show up empty handed...

Infinite clip [DCX2]
04087848 60000000
(don't have to reload, works with side-quest weapons like sniper rifle/rocket launcher, doesn't work with fully auto)

Infinite fully auto [DCX2]
040889E0 60000000

Take no damage from friendly fire [DCX2]
04034178 60000000
(g6flavor's infinite life code only stops enemy fire)

Take no damage from enemy fire [g6flavor/DCX2]
04033E20 60000000
(based off of g6flavor's infinite health code, but might be less buggy)

Thank you!

Here's an example of a timer during a boss fight. Boss Fight timer

Yeah, I tried finding several timers - the countdown timer on the mission select screen, the countdown timer for sub-plots like disarming the bomb in mission 1, and the boss timer.  The issue is I'm not quite sure whether I'm looking for something that counts down, or counts up, and whether it's an integer or fixed-point or a float, whether it's 16 bits or 32 bits, or whether the time is stored separately as whole seconds + fractional seconds, etc.

To make it harder, most games usually put the fun stuff starting at address 0x80000000.  However, Ghost Squad prefers to use addresses in the 0x90000000 range, which is twice big and therefore takes twice as long to search.

I have an idea, though.  I found where the "current item" value is stored (dot sight, high cap magazine, armor, etc).  Some of the items, like Dot Sight, are timed.  So I'm going to see who clears out the Dot Sight and from there I might be able to walk the stack back to a timer, then I'll know what kind of beast I'm looking for.


EDIT: Success!  I found several timers, and even some more goodies!  I still need to find the the sniper timer.

(380000xx controls the number of levels open.  0F makes it 16, 10 would make it 17, 11 would make it 18.  The game doesn't appear to crash on higher levels, it just makes timers even shorter, enemies harder, and so on.  Not sure how big it can get before crashing...)

04120404 60000000

EDIT2: Okay, so the infinite boss time only affected the screen's display of the time, but not the actual time.  This time, I sat through to make sure this code works.  It worked on Mission 1 boss (chopper), but I think it didn't work on Mission 3 boss (boat).  What's weird is that it looks like the boss timer is an up-counter and not a down-counter.

I'll look for the other boss timers, but it's a slow process...

[dcx2]

I've gotten the hang of finding timers.  Seems like there's a different one for each event.  Still need make a Mission 2 boss timer hack...will do that after I wake up.  Until then...

A random goodie - the mines in mission 3 that you have to repeatedly press the action button on can now be taken care of in one click!

And, finally, my masterpiece...this one took a looong time to figure out.  It's a "give yourself items" code.  I had to find the code that gets run when you shoot an item, and learn what specific values I needed to write into memory (including calculating an indexed pointer!) to convince the game you shot an item, and where to put the code so that it had access to the necessary pointers and only ran at the right time.  My Wii locked up at least fifteen times...it was very frustrating, but I think the code is worth it.

38000000 90040010
380001C2 90040014
7C9F2378 00000000

One change can the button activator by changing 70000200 as appropriate (0200 is button 1, which never does anything in this game as far as I know).  Another change can alter the item that you get by changing 3800002D (see below for partial list).  As a side effect of receiving the item, you get 1000 points per frame while you're holding 1 down.

I haven't made a comprehensive list of items, but you can give yourself pretty much anything - the GS meter upgrade, health boxes, medals, dot sight...I even think I found a hidden weapon!  Sometimes it won't work if your gun doesn't support the item (like GS upgrades, or compensators on non-automatic weapons).  Here's what I have so far...

nothing = 0x32
Armor 2 = 0x30
Armor 1 = 0x2F
High cap mag = 0x2E
compensator  = 0x2D
Dot sight = 0x2B
Grenade = 0x2A (GS upgrade)
Full Auto = 0x29 (GS upgrade)
3 shot burst = 0x28 (GS upgrade)
2 shot burst = 0x27 (GS upgrade)
0x25 = medal
0x24 = first aid
0x1E = "hidden" grenade launcher

[ceevee]

Tried all infinite time codes and they work great! Your masterpiece works too  ;D

single click clear mine so useful.

dcx2, awesome finds for this game!

[dcx2]

Okay, so infinite mission 2 boss timer is less useful than you would imagine.  After the boss gets into the airplane, your rifle won't hurt him anymore, so infinite time is useless.  On the bright side, he has several frames where he stands still just before getting in the plane.

I also found a way to fool the game into thinking every gun has the dot sight and compensator for free without the items.  Almost negates the need for the item code (almost...)  In order to see the dot sight you need to turn the aiming reticule off.

But the best part is that I completed the item code, and I found a LOT of hidden goodies!  First, here's the code

This code requires the nunchuk.  Here's how it works.  While holding C, pressing any other button will give you an item.  This allows us to load up to 11 items at any time.  Since the previous two codes make most items obsolete, why would we want 11 item shortcuts?  The reason is because the game uses item shortcuts to switch guns during events!  We can use this code to switch to any gun at any time, even during events, cut scenes, or boss fights.

There's more.  There's a secret grenade launcher that you can't normally get, the GGL50.  There are also "items" that cause the Action button to throw grenades of various types.  I think the grenades were supposed to be an option that was cut out of the game before release, because it seems their collision detection with the floor is poor, so you have to spam grenades sometimes to get them to work.  Some grenade explosions are small, others are quite large, and one's even a smoke grenade, but it sucks 'cos it doesn't impair the enemy vision.

Here's the list of items as given in the code.  Remember that you have to press C + the button listed

Left - SG112 for shotgun â€" 0x17
Right - SPR11 for sniper rifle â€" 0x15
Down - M45R for pistol â€" 0x0F
Up - XMW21 for machine gunâ€" 0x09
+ - Action button will throw flash grenade â€" 0x21
2 â€" shitty (but secret!) GGL50 â€" 0x1E
1 - CPG7 for backup machine gun (better penetration, faster reloads) â€" 0x04
B - Action button will throw poison gas grenade â€" 0x20
A - Action button will throw smoke grenade â€" 0x1F
-  - Action button will throw huge grenade â€" 0x22
Z - for user's to replace (0x2A = GS upgrade)

Here is the nearly-complete list of items.

>=0x32 = death
0x31 = M209 (again?)
0x30 = Armor 2
0x2F = Armor 1
0x2E = High cap mag
0x2D = compensator
0x2C = blank??
0x2B = Dot sight
0x2A = Grenade GS upgrade
0x29 = Full Auto GS upgrade
0x28 = 3 shot burst GS upgrade
0x27 = 2 shot burst GS upgrade
0x26 = blank??
0x25 = medal
0x24 = first aid
0x23 = action button throws explosive grenade
0x22 = action button throws huge grenade with action
0x21 = action button throws flash grenade with action
0x20 = action button throws poison gas grenade
0x1F = action button throws smoke grenade (annoying)
0x1E = GGL50 grenade launcher (actually sucks)
0x1D = action button throws regular grenade
0x1C = SAW24
0x1B = CAC80 (single shot)
0x1A = CAC80 (single shot)
0x19 = SAN92
0x18 = ABG1
0x17 = SG112
0x16 = M4E
0x15 = SPR11
0x14 = SR308
0x13 = SPR3
0x12 = CAC82
0x11 = Guardian 1
0x10 = Guardian 2
0x0F = M45R
0x0E = P44M
0x0D = P4512
0x0C = PM6
0x0B = TM9V
0x0A = M209
0x09 = XMW21
0x08 = SAW24
0x07 = G50
0x06 = TR14
0x05 = AR4A
0x04 = CPG7
0x03 = TK1B
0x02 = MP10
0x01 = M94R
0x00 = XM-2119

If you want to change any of the items, look at the code for the multiple 380000xx's and replace the xx with the byte for the item you want.  I tried to choose default items with the best stats.  In fact, the SPR11 has better penetration than mission 2 boss fight's CAC80 - you actually *can* shoot him while he's in the airplane cockpit if you switch guns with this code.

dcx2, you are a god when it come to codes for this game.  I only have two requests for now that haven't been done yet (by you) -

Single Click Detain Hostages
Infinite Time Basement Mission

I've thanked you for all the other codes that you have posted thus far!

Keep them coming!  :D

[dcx2]

Hi Warlock, thanks for the suggestions!  It was actually pretty hard to find the hostage stuff.  First I had to find the count of hostages saved so far with code search, and that got me close to hostage code.  Set some breakpoints, walked some stack, followed some pointers, and found a float that went up with the hostage percentage bar.  Found who wrote into that percentage, walked the stack some more, and stumbled on the integer count of "clicks" on a hostage.  Funny enough, the code gets run whenever you click on a hostage or when you hover over them!  So I found the branch that is taken after a successful hostage detention, and made it always taken.  This code is even better than what you requested...you don't even need to click!

Hover to detain hostages [DCX2]
040BCDDC 48000008

I tested this on Missions 1 and 2 and it worked on both of them.  I don't remember if Mission 3 has a hostage scenario.

What mission has the basement timer that you want froze?  It must be on a higher mission level than the ones I've been using.

The Basement Mission is on Mission 1 I think Level 8 and above!

Thanks again!

I also made a new infinite mine time.  The old one would freeze the timer before it was displayed to the screen, which made it hard to see mines sometimes.  The new code freezes the timer at a value that makes it displayed, so it's easier to see the mines

I'll have to try them out later.  The detain hostage one works perfectly!  Thanks again dcx2!

FYI, I moved everything over to the regular Wii Codes forum post for Ghost Squad.

They're all the same codes, except for this one...
