What's new
I’d still like Rumble Fish 2, it’s just one code for the extra characters.
Can @MetalliC do Atomiswave port edits?Not doubting his skill, just wondering if something about the conversion process makes this harder.
If Atomiswave is on the table, IIRC... doesn't Neo Geo Battle Coliseum have several unlockable characters which there is no code to quickly unlock, and you're stuck with Time Unlock which takes thousands of hours or something ridiculous and doesn't even save if you swap games (at least on the Atomiswave motherboard).

Also back to Naomi, the four boss characters in CVS2 aren't playable at all in the arcade version from what I can tell, possible to hack them in?

Power Stone 2 items and char unlock patch:
Code:
offset   old new
00004BB2: 0F 05
00004BB3: C9 E0
00004BBC: 0F 01
00004BBD: C9 E0
please test and let us know if it works
@MetalliC can you please explain how will I change the offset ?
I just try to find offset datas with HEXedit program, but it couldn't find anything ?
 
I've never used HEXedit, in WinHEX you may open PowerStone2.bin then click Navigation - Go To Offset (or press Alt+G) then enter file offset hexademical number, then change old value to new value.
or simply scroll down until needed file offset.
 
I think what's confusing him is the way Hex editors only list the value of the starting address (not every single address, but it will still find the values if you search).

I thought about answering this question, but yea... The jerk in me says "if you don't know hex this isn't the place to be asking" ;)
Maybe start a "Hex Editing for Noobz" thread?

Thanks,
i made it but it doesn't work on Emulator. It is normally working but if I change the Values , Emulator freezing.
I tried on Retroarch Reicast core...
 
perhaps you did something wrong ? I'd imagine entered text characters instead of hex numbers.
it works fine here at emulator, I was more interested in test on real Naomi
 
Ok so Power Stone 2!
First I took some screenshots while I patched it to help out @hursit because again I think his issue is offset.
maybe we should make a small tutorial to edit hex files. Any volunteer?
Super small, but I think it will help. :)

I use HxD Hex Editor as it is my fave/free.

Open the PowerStone2.bin file
under the "Search" option use "Goto..."
input the Offset value @MetalliC provided

As you can see, after entering "00004BB2" it takes me right to line starting "00004BB0" and the "02" column (this is offset 00004BB2).

As MetC said, the original value is indeed "0F"
Change that, as he instructs to "05"
Code:
offset   old new
00004BB2: 0F 05
00004BB3: C9 E0
00004BBC: 0F 01
00004BBD: C9 E0
and so on and so on until all values have been changed (I like to double check this).
Good? Click here if you just want this done for you...

Ok now onto the game!

Seems to boot perfectly...
This "Pride" guy (with a name like that I figured his colors would be rainbow *chuckle*) is definitely new/never seen him before...

Even without seeing the weapons you just need to let the attract mode run for a (long) while.

Mark this down as another big win for MetC.
Now make them donations to The Dumping Union in his name! :thumbup:

Tested this and it works perfectly fine. Love the boss mode :)
 
sure, there was unlocked both character and weapons.

this game also have code path, where it ignore weapons unlock, but at practice it seems never takes that path (tried different regions, in event mode, with VM kit). not sure why it's there, perhaps debug / development code leftovers.
 
I also tried everyting possible with VM saves etc. Never got it working without the codes (previously).
