I've been coming to this site on and off since about '04-'05, but I never felt a need to join the forum until now. My gamecube died a few years back, and I've finally been able to get a computer fast enough to run the Dolphin Emulator. Because of this, I've spent the past 3-4 days scouring the internet and teaching myself how AR codes work to create the code that I'm about to share.
This code will give the chao in the first slot of your memory card an S-grade, level 99, and stats of 3266 in all attributes (including luck and intelligence!). Please note that this code is for SA2B on the GameCube only!
Perfect Chao Stats
Below, I will explain the separate parts of the code in case anybody wants to change it for themselves.
You must place the first line (881CC189 00000001) at the beginning and the last line (00000000 40000000) at the end of the code.
I will provide maximum and minimum values for each section of the code. If you want something in between, use a decimal to hexadecimal converter and place that value in place of the xs.
-Chao stat level editing
Use 00 for level 0 and 63 for level 99 in place of xx
*Editing the stat level without editing the stat value will not increase your chao's skill in any way. Levels have no meaning except as a counter to determine when stats will stop improving (at level 99).
Use 000 for stats at 0 and CC2 for stats at 3266 in place of xxx
*You can go higher than 3266 (3266 is the highest that is obtainable without hacking) if you really want to, but you may encounter glitches when racing if you do so. I would not recommend going any higher than 4000 (FA0).
Use one of the following numbers to get the respective grade in place of x:
S=5, A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, E=0
*Don't use a value higher than 5! Unexpected/unwanted glitches may occur.
You can pick and choose any line or multiple lines of this code to suit your needs, but don't forget the opening and closing line (881CC189 00000001 / 00000000 40000000)! They are required!
Heres an example:
Thanks, and I hope this helps somebody! I compiled this because I couldn't find a reliable way to edit stats on gamecube chao without using a GBA. It's still not super simple, but it is a little easier.
