Armored Core: Last Raven Portable

[LunaMoo]

I don't really have AC games, but my online pal had 4 of them and while I didn't wanted to even think about making CWC hack for it since finding it the first time was pretty time consuming which sucks with having only remote access, I decided to at least give it a quick check.
3 games of this series turned out to be using same engine as Bleach games(O.o) for which I made CWC hack yesterday or at least had exactly same labels for some functions placed near the function that I needed, so with tiny and easy to find info I was able to copy&paste my existing CWC workaround from Bleach Soul Carnival games for those 3 AC games.

Hopefully they have no other suprises and people will be able to run those games with it on official versions also on systems where everyone is lazy/nobody cares to build modified versions like iOS, anyway here it is:

Code:

_S NPUH-10024
_G Armored Core: Last Raven Portable
_C0 Hang Workaround
_L 0xE0010003 0x002BB274
_L 0x202BB274 0x34070001
_C0 Hang Workaround [Disable]
_L 0x202BB274 0x28A70003

If you have a different version of the game and want me to make a hack for it, I will need your help, I belive disassembly can only be used in windows version, so you have to be able to run the game on windows, and follow my instructions:
- run the game, open ppsspp disassembly either by pressing ctrl+D or by going to Debug->Disassembly...
- click "Funcs" in the upper left of the disassembly window that opens, there find a label called "dl_write_enable_disable" and double click it, that should bring the view in the large part of the window to this function,
- now notice that fields in that window are colored, each change of color is pretty much a separate function, I'm interested in function directly above the "dl_write_enable_disable" which you found, so move it a bit up(you can use mouse wheel) to the top of previous function which will look like:
   
and either make a screenshot of it, or even better, right click on the "slti a3,a1,0x3" which I marked on my screenshot and select "Copy address" then paste it to the post in reply here or PM me with it as you preffer, if you can make your own cw cheats, you could just replace the address in the existing cheat for other version by yourself, it's very easy.

On a side note I hope AC:Formula Front wasn't affected by this issue;p, because that's the one that possibly uses different engine.

Edit: I had a chance to look at this game recently and someone was requesting this, so posting here as well for everyone:

Code:

_S NPUH-10024
_G Armored Core: Last Raven Portable
_C0 Remove blur
_L 0xE0012825 0x00093D68
_L 0x20093D68 0x34050001
_C0 Remove blur [Disable]
_L 0xE0010001 0x00093D68
_L 0x20093D68 0x00002825

Important when this cheat is activated in-game it might require entering cheat menu and leaving it second time before the effect will be seen since this patches an argument in delay slot and those are somewhat bothersome.

The CWC cheat code hack that LunaMoo posted should do just that. I don't have Last Raven to test with, but I'll see if I can implement it on a known problematic and repeatable mission in Silent Line that gives the same issue. The cheat code definitely worked for the Windows version.

EDIT:
Confirmed that this cheat fixes the problem on Silent Line with Android v1.1.1. I recommend giving it a try. If you don't know how, you'll need to create a file in the "Cheats" folder named "NPUH10024.ini" and paste the following text in it:

Code:

_S NPUH-10024
_G Armored Core: Last Raven Portable
_C0 Hang Workaround
_L 0xE0010003 0x002BB274
_L 0x202BB274 0x34070001
_C0 Hang Workaround [Disable]
_L 0x202BB274 0x28A70003

I found it easier to make the file on my PC and copy it in place to the "[Internal Storage]\PSP\Cheats" folder. It's slightly different for each game, so if you're not using it for Last Raven, look at the appropriate topic for LunaMoo's directions.

Thanks again, LunaMoo!

I'd just like to thank LunaMoo for posting the fix and MechaBouncer for explaining how to do it on Android. I can confirm that the fix works for Last Raven. No more crashes as far as I know. Now I can finally enjoy the game! Thanks a lot.

Wow, here I am fiddling with making my own version of the hack and having absolutely no idea what I'm doing, and the solution ends up as elegant as this. Thanks LunaMoo

[aesoh]

ok so I have a big problem when trying to play aclr in emulation. I have got the hang workaround patch/cheat enables so actually completing missions is fine...

BUT... when I finish a mission and it goes the mission results screen, as soon as I press the confirm button to return to the garage the game crashes then the ppsspp emulator program ITSELF shuts completely down...

I have no idea what causes this, I've done vs area and after defeating a ac the game returns to the garage fine, its only when I have to go through the mission result screen does the game hard crashes.

no idea what is the issue. I am running the game on windows 10 (god forbid) but all other aspects of the game seems to work fine. any suggestions?

[nineball]

Having a issue with last raven atm. Most of it works fine with the hang workaround cheat mod up but once I finish a mission and I am at the mission result screen ( screen with your total earnings and deductions, repairs, ect) once I press the confirm button to go back to garage, the game freezes then hardcrashes the ppsspp causing it to close the entire emulator. Is there any work around?
