Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I'm trying to get the Gecko codes needed for the Monster Hunter 3 final English patch to work in Dolphin and not having any luck. Without these codes the text is all garbled and it's not really possible to play. After searching around, it seems like Gecko codes and AR codes (which Dolphin uses) are not compatible, so is there any way to convert the codes?

Here are the codes:

Here's an example of the text being messed up:


Maybe the devs can implement native loading of Gecko codes in a future release (though MH3 is broken in newer releases)?

Those codes aren't convertible. They're Gecko-only function codes that copy parts of the RAM to other locations. I'd have to make an AR code for pretty much every single one of the several hundred changes it makes.


Fortunately, I made a program months ago to do it automatically to test it out in Dolphin. It's been a while since I worked on any of it, but it shouldn't be too hard to sort out.

Thank you very much. I was looking for a way to contact you, but comments were disabled on the translation blog and I couldn't find your e-mail address anywhere.

Would you mind working on it?
