Memory Hacking

Using memory hacking tools, complex glitch ideas can be tested fairly quickly and with reasonable effort.

 Setup (Project 64 + Artmoney)

ArtMoney settings

Download the following files:

• DK64 Address Table
• ArtMoney
• Donkey Kong 64 (U) ROM
• DK64 101% Native Save
• Project64 1.6

Extract and move the native save to %localappdata%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Project64 1.6\Save. After installing ArtMoney, adjust the settings as shown in the image. Start Project64 1.6 and open the DK64 rom. Also open up the address table in ArtMoney. If it asks you to convert the table to 64-bit mode, click No. The "select process" menu should automatically pick Project64 from the list. If it doesn't, select the process manually. Now all the numbers in the table should correspond to a value in Project64.

Additionally, you may want to add the Moonjump code to the Project64 cheats.

Setup (BizHawk + ScriptHawk)

Download the following files:

• ScriptHawk
• BizHawk (1.11.0+ recommended)
• Donkey Kong 64 (U) ROM

Extract BizHawk to any location. Extract ScriptHawk to the Lua subdirectory in your BizHawk folder then load up EmuHawk and the DK64 (U) ROM. To load the memory address table, click Tools->Ram Watch and load the .wch file included with ScriptHawk. To load Lua scripts click Tools->Lua Console then Script->Open Script and pick the .lua file you wish to load.

Included in the script pack is:

• Moonjump
• Mad Jack Minimap
• Lagometer
• ISG Timer
• Refill Consumables
• Get/Lose Keys
• Grab, Focus, Encircle & Examine objects
• Unlock Moves
• Unlock Mystery & Multiplayer menus (also enables "The Main Event")
• Memory address table

Addresses and Values

To edit a value, simply click a number, type in a new number and press Enter. You can also freeze a value by clicking the empty cell to the left of the address name.

Address	Description	Values
Map	The map you are currently in. The value is changed as soon as a screen transition begins. To warp to your desired destination, freeze the value or edit it during a fadeout.	full list
Exit	This address determines where you appear in a map. Just like the map value, the exit value is changed as soon as a screen transition begins. To warp to the desired exit, freeze the value or edit it during a fadeout.
Destination Map	Whenever you are in a bonus game, character hut, or Troff 'n' Scoff room, this address connects the map to where you entered it. If you edit the value and leave, chances are the game will crash.	full list
Destination Exit	The spot where you will appear in the destination map.
Background	Any background number corresponds to the background of a map.
File	The file that is overwritten when the game saves. If you switch to a different file by changing the value, the current Adventure flags will be replaced by the flags of that file, but the Adventure numbers won't change.	0 - file 1 1 - file 2 2 - file 3 3 - temporary file
Mode	There are two mode addresses. If you change the value of the first one, you will disable screen transitions and essentially softlock the game. To enter another mode, edit the second value during a fadeout.	0 - Nintendo Logo 1 - Nintendo & Rare Cutscene 2 - DK Rap 3 - DK TV 5 - Main Menu 6 - Adventure / Kong Battle 7 - Loading Game Over Cutscene 9 - Game Over 10 - End Sequence (Adventure) 11 - DK Theatre 12 - DK Bonus / Bosses 13 - Snide's Bonus Games 14 - End Sequence (DK Theatre)
Character	Change this value to choose your character. The effect takes place instantly, but the character model is only changed after entering a loading zone. 8 and 9 tend to crash the game as you move around.	0 - DK 1 - Diddy 2 - Lanky 3 - Tiny 4 - Chunky 5 - Krusha 6 - Rambi 7 - Enguarde 8 - Squawks 9 - Squawks
Health	The current number of melon slices.
Camera	Whenever this value is 1, it means a cutscene is playing.	0 - default (follows the kong) 1 - cutscene 2 - fixed camera 3 - DK Arcade 4 - Jetpac 6 - zipper
Cutscene	Every map has its own set of cutscenes. This value shows which cutscene is playing. To test cutscene values, freeze both the map and cutscene addresses and start a DK Theatre scene. You may need to hack into Adventure mode and unfreeze the addresses to see the full effect.
Intro Story Fadeout	The current Intro Story scene. This value only augments during a fadeout triggered by Intro Story. If you delay the fadeout by not watching any cutscenes, it won't change. By changing the value, you can manipulate the time left until the next fadeout. With 6, you can do whatever you want without getting pulled into Intro Story. After waiting through the first scene, you can trigger a fadeout at any time during a cutscene by typing in 0 and pressing Enter.	6 - prevent fadeout 0 - trigger fadeout full list
Speed (DK Isles)	Speed address that only works in the overworld map of DK Isles. If you enter another map and come back, it may cease to work.
Key 8 enabled	When you are in Hideout Helm, this address tells you if your camera angle makes the key count.	0 - fake key 1 - real key
Water Physics	Edit this value before entering Adventure mode or it won't take effect.	0 - swim above surface 8 - default
Play Time	The number of seconds spent in a file. This value only changes if you view or start a file (other values that count frames are used to increase the play time and write it into the file). While in Adventure mode, you can change it and save the game in order to manipulate the play time.
