Cheats Dolphin Emulator Android

[Lu Rounsaville]

Ifyou're into playing classic console games on your smartphone, you probably would have come across Dolphin Emulator, a free, open-source video game emulator for Nintendo GameCube and Wii. It's available on all major platforms such as Android, Linux, Windows, and macOS. And thanks to the active developer community, the emulator keeps getting better with new features and improvements. Case in point: the team behind the project has just shared the progress report for the month of October, detailing various changes and improvements they have made to the emulator.

Most notably, Dolphin for Android is finally making it easier to use cheat codes. While the Android version always has had the ability to hook into various types of cheat codes and patches, it lacked the proper GUI for it. But that is no longer the case as the team has finally incorporated a new cheats menu that lets users access Dolphin's Cheat interface. Previously users had to go through the trouble of setting up cheat codes using text editors or use the desktop version to create the settings file they wanted.

Another big improvement for users running Android 11 and above is that Dolphin Emulator is now fully compliant with Google's Scoped Storage requirements. As the team explains, "Dolphin is reliant on accessing tons of files in quick order. If access to those files is too slow, the user may see noticeable lag, or in dual-core games could even crash. When using directories other than the app-specific one, performance on accessing files is terrible, so much so that it would impact emulation in a negative manner." The team says they have done their best to make sure Scoped Storage changes don't negatively affect performance and overall experience on Android 11 and above devices.

Dolphin has also added support for Riivolution, an on-the-fly game patcher that lets you create large-scale game mods for Wii. The team says Dolphin's Riivolution support uses the same mods you download for consoles, and you can try it out in the latest desktop Dolphin builds and Android.

I have successfully got varies cheat codes to function correctly, but the one cheat that I haven't been able to correctly execute is item creation. I use the most common method of item creation on Ike with a button combination that triggers the cheat.

I know this is a necro, but I got the solution to the OP's issues: what helps for me is turning on the code, which does make the unusable item appear. RESET the game (don't close it, you can set a custom hotkey to reset on Dolphin under the Options tab). Now the correct item should appear. Save/suspend your game and then turn off the code if you only wish to create one instance of the code (if you trade the item it'll keep duplicating itself).

Note that doing this on the map is risky since if Ike gets equipped with something he can't normally use, his sprite will turn black and the game will freeze if you equip something else (game can't decide what sprite to load so it hangs, hence the black sprite).

So this is best done in the base but might also work in the prep screen.

Hope this helps!

In Dolphin, right-click on your Path of Radiance game and click 'Properties'. Go to the AR Codes tab and select 'Add...'. Name your code (doesnt matter, just anything you would recognize), and paste the code. The code to give Ike an Arms Scroll in his first item slot is:

042B16D0 80935F30 (specified item)

002B16D4 00000001 (item uses)

Click 'ok' and 'close' and run your game. Once you're at the main menu, reset the game (best to assign a hotkey for it so you can do it fast). Now load up your save file and it should work. Save your game if the code worked, exit the game and then disable the code.

Alternatively you can edit the config itself, allowing importing/toggling more cheats at once more quickly, but whatever you find most useful.

Also note, as far as I know, cheats won't ever work while the game is running and you need to reboot the game for them to work.

Im looking for the code that lets you control enemies unit. I want to acquire enemy units, raise them, then beat the game with there own units. I usually play on gamecube with the original game, so dolphin and ar codes are new to me lol

I'm using dolphin version 5.0-15260 for Android and every code works except for item creation. It puts the item in the correct slot in Ike's inventory with the correct number of uses but I can't get any of the items I want. Everything is random useless garbage. I tried scrolling though one value at a time adding and subtracting but that's growing very old. I did find a neat "band" I could equip that was listed as a sword but if I put it in Ike's item slot and equipped it, it gave him +27 max HP, massive boosts to both defense and resistance (can't remember exact numbers and it randomly glitched and disappeared but I think it was over 60 resistance) and like 1 or 2 of all other stats. But I'm really hoping there's an accurate list somewhere or some specific mathematics to get the exact items I'm wanting

Hey Rouge, I had the same problem, there are two list of codes in this page, try the other list, the numbers are different :). I can't tell why, but it is, maybe the results are different depending on the version of the game you have

Just made these codes for myself and thought I should share here as well. This will add all weapons and items into the convoy by pressing the respective buttons. I also included another code to remove everything from the convoy if that is desired. It helps with getting rid of items and weapons that cant be sold or dropped. ?

Hey guys ive been trying to get the Debug Menu code i have downloaded for PoR on dolphin but i cant seem to get it to work and has no description or instructions on how to use it ingame. Ive also tried AR version without success. Ive read that you have to press Z+B*(RB+B on xbox controller) to make it appear but no matter what code i use i cant get the debug menu to appear. Can anyone help or provide a current working code or instructions on how how i can make this work! Thanks in advance!

Also, if you're gonna file issues on this issue tracker, always test on the latest development build. 4.0.2 is ancient at this point and has a ton of bugs that have already been fixed. -emu.org/download/

One small thing that would be easy to fix:

The instruction cache for ocarina codes is only cleared for the code handler, and not for the codes. But there are codes that contain instructions:

=1

(see asm codes, codes starting with C0000000)

What games and codes are you trying? Some games don't even like Gecko OS's code handler(something being at 0x80001800). But some codes will most likely not work for some yet unknown problem. The way Dolphin hooks into the game, to force it to run the code handler once in a while, is completely different from the way Gecko OS works for example.

One semi-bug that I noticed in Dolphin is that Gecko codes will not work if there are two cheats with the same name. If this is the case, go into the game ini and delete the duplicates or rename the cheat say that they have unique names.

What codehandler are you using, skidau? I'm using the one that ships with dolphin, and it just crashed MP3 with that exact code. And before anyone asks, yes, I have a verified good dump of MP3 (RM3E01).

I am using the default codehandler.bin (crc32: 3cfd63e4) under Dolphin 4.0-3655. Settings are JIT64, Windows 7, DSP LLE, OpenGL. Pressed the Gecko code download button to get the "Have All upgrades" code. Enabled the code and Enabled Cheats.

Make sure you are not falling over on the "line breaks" bug in the game ini. You can tell if you open up the game ini under Notepad and all of the lines are joined together. If this is the case, open the game ini with a good editor like Notepad++ and save the file in DOS format.
