Action Replay Discussion/Codes/Pictures/Videos

Kyasarin · Last edited by Kyasarin on Sun Mar 22, 2009 4:56 am; edited 20 times in total

This will become the main topic for all discussion relating to the Tales of Symphonia Action Replay doings. This includes the normal codes like "max ___" to the more complicated codes like the modifiers.

This means that this topic will take the place of all the others, like mine, Meowzy's and LizzyRed9000's topics about the Action Replay. In this front post, I will link to every significant post in their topics, and as this topic goes on, I'll link to the significant posts here, too.

So for all future codes, findings, questions, answers, pictures, videos, requests, and anything else regarding things accomplished on Tales of Symphonia only through Action Replay or some other cheating/hacking device/method, please post here instead of the old topics.

Now, moving onto the posts.

FAQ

Q: Is there a code to activate the Devil's Arms without defeating Abyssion/to modify the parameters of the Devil's Arms?
A: No. There is no known code to do anything with the Devil's Arms other than placing them in your inventory or equipping them to a character at this time.

Actually, I have the ISO of the NTSC version. It downloads pretty fast by torrent, and the GCN file that it has can dump all the files. I have the files directly in a folder on my desktop as well. I simply lack the equipment and knowledge to look through them. I messaged Renegade Of Life about this as well.

Also edited the first post just now to include yours and Reeg's stuffs.

But I do have the equipment to record clear video, so if anymore requests for techs come in, I'll handle a few of them if you want. (Though I'll only do the ones that interest me.. I know, selfish.)

It takes certain viewer programs or ISO/virtual drive programs that cost money. None of the free programs that I've found or been suggested have worked. If you want, I'll zip up a few of the files for you to try first, since 2gigs is an awful lot to download if you can't do anything with it.

And I'd actually been planning to try a couple cutscenes as soon as I had all the savestates before most cutscenes. (Which I'd be working on on my second gradeshop playthrough) But.. since I'd be in a hurry, I'll probably do a cheated playthrough with maxstats and all so I can get all the cutscenes faster. I have a select few I'd like to try out... hehe.

Same. But I'll need a few more codes mapped out for what I wanna do.. And then it may turn out oddly. You know, character movements and all. (We've seen what happens with some... army walk... *shudder*) So.. some arms may be IMPALING a character or two... xD

So, do you want me to zip a few files for you to try with?

Sorry xD! Having many conversations at the same time and just skimming the forums.

Kyasarin · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 1:21 am Post subject:

'tis okay. And on the US/PAL version, the only extra voice files that weren't used in normal gameplay were..

Raine's "Sacred Light"
Zelos' "Judgment"

As far as I know, at least. The others shouldn't have voice files.

I knew that one. I was kinda lost because you mentioned something about "Shining Bind" for Collet and Valkyrie something for Raine o.O...

Kyasarin · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 3:42 am Post subject:

Ah, yeah, I remember that. It was in the Japanese GC version. I don't have that version, so I can't tell you if it's correct. I do have the clips from the PS2 version, but the only thing that resembles the beta techs is something that sounds like it might be Listra, but I pretty much doubt it.

I edited the first post to include specific post that has the list of techs that supposedly had voice files on the Japanese GC version. In case everyone forgot, it's this:

Colette:
Sephiroth (Confirmed)
Grand Fall (Confirmed)
Grand Cross (Confirmed)

Genis:
Fearful Flare (Confirmed)
Tetra Spell (Confirmed)
Nuffil Soul(?) (Confirmed)

Raine/Refill:
Valkyrie's Javelin (Confirmed)
Magic Shell (Confirmed)
Sacred Shine (Confirmed) (Sacred Light on US/PAL, also confirmed)
Fairy Circle (Confirmed)
Inspect Magic (Confirmed)

Kratos:
Shining Bind (Confirmed)

Zelos:
Zelos Flash (Confirmed)

Mithos:
Shining Bind (Confirmed)
Stigmata (Confirmed)

Kvar:
Judgment Gate (Confirmed)

And if those were indeed accurate, and they had voice files for those techs... hm.. That also brings the techs on the technique modifier in. From the list from Reeg and Judgment-0, the following beta techs have appeared on the NTSC version...

Final Justice (Lloyd)
Sonic Burst (Lloyd?)
Aurora Slash (Lloyd)
Holy Guardian (Lloyd)
Listra (twice) (Colette)
Grand Fall (Colette)
Mirage Saber (Colette)
Dancing Sickles (Colette)
Final Fury (Colette)
Grand Cross (Colette)
Sephiroth (Colette)
Gungnir (Genis)

Divine Power (Genis)
Tetraspell (Genis)
Magic Shell (Raine)
Spirit of the Earth (Kratos)
Eternal Chaos (Kratos)
Ultimate (Presea)
Finality Infliction (Presea)
Eternal Wind (Presea)
Dragon Strike (Regal)
Heaven Rising (Regal)
Dragon's Talon (Regal)
Rage (Regal)
Sacred Light (Raine)
Inspect Eye
Time Stop
Summon: Heart (Sheena)
Fairy Circle (Raine)
Holy Binds (Obviously supposed to be Shining Bind) (Kratos/Zelos)
Mirage Thrust (Unison?)
Innocent Edge (Unison)

EDIT3: Colette's unused chant that is supposedly for Sephiroth is "kami no mina ni oite.... sono mitsukae o koko ni tamawaran koto o hossu. ware, onmi/omi/oomi (?) no daikousha de aran koto o negau mono nari. hirake, seikai no mon!"

Which, approximately translated, means "In the (grand - or something like that) of god, I desire that this service be honored. I, wishing (to become? - not sure at all) the successor of ????. Gate to the holy world, please open!"

I gave a crack at modifying that, and came up with the following: "In the audience of God, I desire that this service be honored. I wish to become the successor of my Lord. Gate to the holy world, please open!"

Yeah, I used the word "onmi", which um.. as far as I see the definition going, was going to be translated as "You" with a capitol Y. ... Y'know, as.. God? So... Yeah. Whatever. >_> Just a shot in the dark.

... So um... wow. There's actually a LOT of beta techs. As far as I know, the only one of these that works is Time Stop. ... Yeah, we've got some working to do. >_> Especially now that I KNOW WHAT THE HELL I WAS DOING WRONG WITH THE FILE VIEWING. *headdesk* x_x Gimme about a month or so.. the guy helping me with it NOW is the slowest damn person on the planet.

EDIT: No more spelling errors.

EDIT2: Added confirmed signs onto the ones we know have voice files.

EDIT3: Thanks to Yume Hanabi for reminding me that Kvar and Kratos sound much alike in Japanese, and it's actually Kvar saying Judgment Gate. However, he doesn't use this in the GC version anyway, so it's staying up. Also added Colette's chant.

EDIT4: Just a translation on Colette's Grand Cross, to clear up the confusion of Sephiroth and Grand Cross. Credit goes to Yume Hanabi.

"Reimei e to michibiku haja no kirameki yo, waga koe ni mimi o katamuketamae. Seinaru inori, touwa ni tsumugaren! Hikari are, Grand Cross!!"
"O sparkling of the conqueror that guide us to the dawn, I beg thee to listen (attentively) to my voice. May the Holy Prayer be weaved eternally. Let there be light. Grand Cross!!"

EDIT5: Added one.
