Where is the Cheats Unknown Value Search in the latest Dolphin builds? - FlappyFalco - 10-25-2018
I originally posted this on the Subreddit, but got no reply. I believe if anyone can answer this, they're on here.
So I am trying to make a Gecko code for Xenoblade that makes the characters look like they are wearing their default gear while still getting the stats of other gear (sort of like the 'fashion gear' option from X). Thing is, I don't know the value for the gear's model that is stored in memory, so I can't search for it. What I want to do is an unknown value search, change gear, search for "not equal to" and continue until I have my code.
I have seen this done in earlier versions of Dolphin, such as in this video, but I can't find it in my version (5.0-8937). Does anyone know if it was removed? I presume it was causing crashing or the like when there were too many entries. If so, what was the latest version that still had this feature?
Thanks in advance.

The Cheat Manager still exists, being accessible from the Tools menu as long as a game is running and cheats are enabled. It has just been redesigned a bit.

Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer. I know the cheat manager is still there, but can you still do an unknown value search or is that gone?

Ah, okay. You should be able to use an unknown value by leaving the text field empty. I'm not sure if Dolphin's GUI actually tells you that you're able to do that, so it's a bit hard to find...

I thought that too actually, but I tried freezing the game, leaving it blank and hitting 'New Search' and then tried again with 0, and I got the same number of entries. I tried with a different number and got a much smaller number of entries. This was with 'equals to' selected from the drop down. I have tried this with Melee as well, so it's not just Xenoblade. So Dolphin sees a blank text box as a zero. Is this a bug?
I initially tried it with blank but couldn't find my code, and always wondered why the last few addresses left always had zero as their value. So I figured out the issue.

Hm, I guess it might actually be unimplemented then... I recall there being something in Dolphin that had a special behavior when searching with an empty text box, but maybe it wasn't the cheat manager.
I'd suggest leaving a report on the issue tracker, so that we can keep track of that this needs to be fixed before the next stable release: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/projects/emulator

OK, done, as you have seen.
