Golden Sun: Character Swapping

[DarkCrecent]

Darn it, Dora, stop dancing!

[Yukikebuki]

Garet: Well this turned out badly, wouldn't you say?

Saturos: No.

[AnimeRose99]

lol@the giant boulder XD

[Themassassin]

The rock was the best, LOL! :D

[DeUitdager]

ok thanks, I don't blame you, it is just a puzzle to test them all.

[DeUitdager]

erm, could you describe each characters code's working, I mean, which sprite will change onto which other sprite

[AtriusV]

@DeUitdager They all change the player's sprite into whatever character the code is for. If you're referring to the animations that don't match the players, I don't have that information for all of them.

[UnderAvg]

Wow, Felix jumps weirdly.

[awnadge]

the wise one lost his eye and turned brown without it XD

[FilanaxD]

HEY I DONT FIND SATUROS IN THE SPRITE LIST WHATS THE NUMBER?

[MrDebug3]

[chaoschao455]

Hmmm... a boulder named Felix... Uhhh... That's weird... XD

[MrDebug3]

I dont know how to use it and all so it screw up my game I hacked it for I can have 2000000000000000000000000000 Hp and now it deleted my profile thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[yahootooloo]

[Dellazice]

OH MAY GAWD!!! GIANT RUNNING ROCK!!!

[uforia77]

this is awesome!

I'm thinking of making a GS Abridged series, so this code would really help me put in some stupid extras :D

[AngelMeteor]

Code 180 in Atrius' list is Dullahan lol

[ZulJim09]

what's the code for alex?? =O

[Jonkswa]

loved the boulder!

[universa13]

lol, poor Isaac/Jenna keeps twitching at the begining. :P

[NintendoLover64]

9:47 - 9:50 PLOT TWIST!

[fanoultimatev2]

TIME PARADOX xD

[MeNotThatKindofOrc]

Wow, rofl

[mushishi9999]

nevermind, i found it

[mushishi9999]

rofl....which sprite is the boulder 1, if you remember :)

[goodie120]

ok, i have a question that will probably never be answered in amillion years...

Why is the main character always mute? because in GS1 Isaac is mute but Felixis not.but in GS2 Felix is mute but Isaac is not.

[aladdin445]

the programmers want the hero to be you so it will be you yelling at them and them responding like they didnt hear you, and you can make the stupid decisions.

[goodie120]

HA!  i bet yur rite

[Q9R42]

Shigeru miyamoto even said that he wants the player to be link and not for link to talk.

I'm pretty sure most developers having a mute main character that you control was inspired by the father of gaming.

[goodie120]

um... ok. thanks

[colummcclelland90]

miyamoto didnt invent mute protagonists haha

[Q9R42]

Which is why i said "inspired" and not "invent".

[colummcclelland90]

its basically the same thing like, Miyamoto couldnt inspire someone to do a good shit, Zelda games are as intresting as watching Paint dry lol

[Q9R42]

That has to do with an opinion though! I was merely speaking about facts.

It's a fact that the man who perfected the art of gaming has inspired more game developers then you can imagine.

[blueswan1984]

Lucky for you in the ending of GS2 both characters talk.

[takomashi101]

Cool, break-dancing on ice towers rising from the icey midst of the sea. I almost mistook her as a flopping goldfish.

I was like:

???

LOL.

[Alexi5ix]

the wise one in vale!!

[spud1239]

lol 2 jennas awesome

genius

[crazybuizel]

Playing as Menardi lol

I love when Kraden goes down the stairs.

[Ragnaroxxor]

Felix looks sick o-o

[Valladones321]

whata 2 jennas?!

[ElectriceGA]

Two Jennas! lol

[Superhotshotbowser]

So let's see. Kraden and Menardi are having seizures, Alex loves to jog in place, skate, and moonwalk, everyone thinks the dog is Issac, a boulder has run amok, and Issac's mom loves to act like a gopher? Wow awesome. 5-Stared

[MugRootBeer22]

lmao the boulder!

[Ragnaroxxor]

THE BOULDER

DO WANT

[Gamesta94]

wtf a rock and a dog -.-

[Lecron4]

kraden keeps falling asleep lol

[itachidia]

i love how saturos jumps out of the statue!

[XChrisButtonX]

That's so cool. *favourited*

[ShadeMoth]

LOL the boulder! XD

[tagyrt]

omg 8:19-9:24 makes me think of the wise one lol....

[Imdeadblind]

Two words! Identity theft!

[keyblademaster0011]

jenna has a twin i thought she doesnt use psynegy when not fighting

[Miguelalberto28]

lol menardi

[Augurk6]

man...

at 2.16 he walks out the sol sanctum

use retreat....

[ohyesbenny]

OOOOMMMMFFFFFGGGG!!!

[aquaguy34]

lol at 1:03 the jenna in the middle was like "i hope he doesn't realize i'm jenna's twin.

[icelez]

I never knew this game exsisted

sadly rpg maker still can't make snes quality rpgs (six-way movement jumpin or even paper mario(rpg) attack style)

but if you ever used rpg maker(s) you know why the npc character spirites were like that when playin as the main character. sure makes events a whole lot easier = )

[icelez]

Oh and that's where the "use the sun and mirrors" idea for Twilight Princess must've come from

[weckar]

valian houses have amazing roofs :)

and how Jenna pushed those statues... no comment that wouldn't get this comment deleted :p

[RhymesWithEmpty]

Felix's cape, green, like it should be! If only his sprite looked like that when you actually played as him, yarrr.

And controlling the boulder = epic, haha.

[DOODMANO]

LOL the ending!

[Vane5a]

That is so coool!

[xxxisaac454xxx]

how to do that?

[AtriusV]

There's a URL to a list of VBA codes for nearly every character in the video info.

[luigirulze]

Kradem: Menardi, do a barel roll!

[PekoponTAS]

This made me laugh. I had always wished there was a way to play as Ivan or Mia. Now there is!

[yurt14]

XD 2 jenna's

[maxtervan]

why you dond do it playing as the final monster??

[SolGunRock68]

Lol, Now thats interpretive dancing! way to go Felix and Garet xD

[OMFGWTFBBQLAWLZ]

Lol menardi does barrel rolls!

[TedizMayne]

Wow, i think kraden tripped when he went down the stairs at 7:07

[TheCassyJenelle]

Being the rock reminds me of the wise one.

[cloudownage666]

after all da years of playing oglden sun i just noticed sumthin..... issac looks like cloud from ff7

[GojiraAVGNFanSSJ4]

@cloudownage666 RPG CLICH #1: SPIKEY BLOND HAIRED PROTAGONIST

[DogbootsGod]

Too much win in this video.

[ironjones]

fucking boulder

[colummcclelland90]

man could you please tell me how to do this... walkiing around peirs would rock. is there some sort of text document that you have to change the values in... like modding the rules in Command and conquer RA2

[AtriusV]

Nah, no text document, you have to edit values in memory while the game is running.

If you have an Action Replay, or cheating device like it I could probably generate a code to play as any character you want. Piers' sprites aren't in the first Golden Sun at all though, I checked.

[colummcclelland90]

ahh i see, what about the VBA emulator can you generate a AR code for the lost age making the main character Piers

[AtriusV]

VBA doesn't use AR codes, which is unfortunate cause I can make them automatically disable themselves when they would otherwise cause problems, and they do cause some odd glitches.

Here are the VBA codes for Piers though:

03002100:0007

03002107:03

03002108:0830821C

0300210C:08303BD4

[colummcclelland90]

OMG it works amazing... so seeing that comes up felix as Piers , whats the code to change Piers to Felix...

hmm, what all can you edit. text? if you could lol you could make your own game lol like a rom hack.. its been done in Super metroid and Pokemon games..

[AtriusV]

To change back to Felix all you have to do is disable the codes, and enter a different area.

These codes don't actually alter the game code/data at all, they just alter values in memory that the game is using. That said, so far I have figured out most of the Animation format (For character Idle/Walk cycles and such), 2/4 Sprite formats, and a small amount of whats used for NPC behavior. I think I have information on the Text format somewhere, but I still couldn't do a full rom hack right now.

[SteamonDemon]

colummclelland90 there is a tool called gstoolset that allows you to edit the text in the first game then patch it after, you should search it, im not sure about the lost age.

[colummcclelland90]

really?, nae this i gotta see.

[SteamonDemon]

Do you the codes for the rest of the characters handy. im using VBA also.

[AtriusV]

Yeah I should just put the whole list up shouldn't I?

*Edits it into the video description*

There you go.

[Suichimo]

So is this only Golden Sun or is there a version of this for TLA?

[AtriusV]

Yeah, GS and TLA work in the same way for the most part so I can do it in that game pretty easily too.

[BradStaubin]

Omfg Menardi seizuring was frigon hilarious

[TadanoNika]

I love the fact that you were walking around as a dog and a boulder xD

[sakurafae]

I am envious. Extremely so.

I know it's pushing it, but is it possible to get the mugshot and batlle character graphic to match the sprite?

Also, how does this work on the world map?

[AtriusV]

It doesn't change sprites in battle, on the status screen, or the world map unfortunately. It actually causes minor graphical glitches on the map, and in battles, nothing that interferes with playing though.

I'll look into it, but it's probably gonna be a lot tougher to accomplish.

[sakurafae]

Waaah, yay. =D You are awesome. In the video I responded with, the cons changed, the voices changed, EVERYTHING changed... Except in battle. x-x Weird, huh?
