Debug Stuff

I made a gameshark code today that enables different debug features. 800B67C0 0001 for the (U) version. 800B0FC0 0001 for the (J) version.

First thing you'll probably notice is the text displayed when playing cutscenes. You can press L+Start to go to the SRAM editor. There's a bunch of stuff you can modify, and I made quick notes of the addresses.

00 Displays rotation/positioning?

01 Frame buffer text

06 Disables land rendering

07 Renders land nearby

10 Displays CLIPRATIO

13 Disables HUD

15 Disables Skybox

19 Disables player rendering

1D Disables rendering

1F Game locks up when you try leaving

24 Prevents you from turning

25 Activates ring game

27 Disables land nearby

28 Debug numbers I'm not sure of

29 Debug numbers I'm not sure of

2C Debug numbers I'm not sure of

2D Light/Fog editor (use second controller)

32 Lets the AI take over

36 Displays "Pres"

38 Displays [PCO Frame30]

39 Cuts the sram screen in half

46 Displays サンプルABCDEFG (can move text around and change colour with controller 2)

47 Displays X/Y/Z/Attr? of player

4A Close-up of the player's golf club

5F Edit random numbers with controller 2

68 Displays Player0 EXP 0

6D Use D-Pad to display different messages

70 Displays square texture to the left of the screen

71 Displays Prec: 10

You can also do stuff with controllers 2, 3, and 4. Press start to display different numbers. L will freeze the game and pressing left on the D-Pad will cycle through the frames. Press right on the D-pad to continue playing. --Fkualol (talk) 18:02, 12 November 2013 (EST)

Wow! Good find. There's really a lot of information here that needs to be added to the article. I've investigated some of these, but there's certainly need for someone who understands a lot more about this game's code than me. Even still, I've investigated some things here and I'll be adding it to the article ASAP. Anyway, congrats! That's a good bit of debugging information. --RanAS^TC 05:50, 29 December 2014 (EST)

PAL distance differences?

I know the PAL version (and J i think) uses metres and NTSC uses yards, but doesn't this have an effect on putting? i remember my pal copy's "short, medium, long" being 10m, 20m, and 30m, but in the NTSC version it's 30ft, 100ft and 200ft. i don't know much about impreial measurement but that seems like the putting distances have been changed or at least adjusted in certain ways... — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Timic83 (talk • contribs)

That is slighty wrong. Although the US version changed 10m, 30m and 60m (used in the Japanese and European versions) to 30ft, 100ft and 200ft respectively, that's a conversion from meters to feet, yards are used in all versions of the game. Also i just tested it and no changes on distance were made, only the numbers are different. --RanAS^TC 07:58, 28 October 2014 (EDT)

Dummy Character

There is a character called ダミー (Dummy) in the Japanese version of Mario Golf 64. It uses Mario's model, but has limited animations and will use the wrong head sprite in-game. It can be unlocked with GameShark code 810BC84E 000D. I don't know if it's in the US or European versions. --Grandta13 (talk) 06:45, 8 June 2015 (EDT)

Interesting. Maybe it's an early/unfinished version of Metal Mario (as far as I know he was only in the international release). N. Onymous (talk) 07:33, 8 June 2015 (EDT)

Password Screen

Since no one has taken a thorough look into this yet, I would like to note there is a password screen in the game. It's enabled by highlighting the Clubhouse option on the main menu and holding ```Z + R + A```. One of the cheats does enable Donkey Kong on the character select screen, so I'm wondering if there's something more to this option. It also may have been disabled in the European version, which I'd like to get confirmation on. --From: CounterDiving (talk) 16:48, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
