Secret Song Unlockable!!!!

**phnord** · Joined: 08 Apr 2006 Posts: 19

There's a song in the game, previously inaccessible, which a gameshark code has just been created to play!

This code is the only way to unlock the secret song "*Trippolette", by "Andrew Buch." It has the hardest section in the game (harder than the end of Bark at the Moon), but the overall shortness of the song makes it beatable.

The code will replace the bonus song "Guitar Hero" in the setlist screen (and shop) with Trippolette while it is active (when you reset, the Guitar Hero song is back).

The code is very long (33 lines), and is as follows:

(M)ust Be On
F0273744 00273747

Have fun with it!

P.S. Sorry for the double posting - I wasn't sure of which forum it should be in.

For those of you with a Codebreaker (V7+), the code has been officially released, and you can downloaded it as a day 1 file (along with some other cheats, which I don't recommend using) at www.cmgsccc.com

Is this something worth adding to the main rankings? I gave it a shot; after failing a lot, my best score was an atrocious 55k w/ 3 stars, 35 note streak, and I think 59% hit rate. The song is a blast to play, though, and I'd like to see how others progress anyways. Also, there's another song out there (Graveyard Shift - see http://home.rochester.rr.com/gendreau/vgsplayer/), so when that gets unlocked, there could be another entry to the main rankings.

I've been thinking of writing up a code for graveyardshift at some point...however, it isn't nearly as fun to play as Trippolette, and the sound quality is not so hot...

But anyway, I definitely think this should be added to the main rankings. It is the hardest song to get good percentages/scores on, so it can be a true test of ability.

I tried using this code, but GH keeps freezing when I load it up from gameshark. Usually on one of the opening logos. Any suggestions, besides double checking the code?

You must have the code in wrong. All of the memory address that are written to in the code are very specific, and if you don't have them in right it will freeze, as you'll be writing to parts of the memory that are necessary for the game to run correctly.

One suggestion besides double-checking is if you have a Codebreaker, to go to cmgsccc.com and download the Codebreaker Day 1 code to a USB disc (or download it straight to your ps2 if you have the internet hooked up to work with it).

The only other thing is that this code is for Gameshark/Codebreaker. It WONT work on Action Replay - I'm planning on converting it so that I can put it up as a code for Action Replay as well.

Just read all the codes to someone else looking at the shark codes, and they match exactly. Any other ideas?

Edit: This is my first time using gameshark, or any cheat system. Anything I should know of that's something that experienced users would know?

I just added my own game under 'expert cheats', then added a cheat "M" for the master code, and put in the single master code there. Then, added a cheat "Bonus Song" ... and put in all of those codes under the bonus song cheat. Then selected both cheats and tried to use them.

hmmm...I'm not sure

This is my first code I've hacked for a console, and from what I understand there might be conversions that need to be done between different versions of gameshark...I'm trying to get in touch with someone to help me convert the code to all the different cheating formats.

In the meantime, what version of Gameshark do you have?

You also might want to make sure you entered via these instructions (taken from gameshark.com):

Gameshark 2, Game Codes W/ Media Player or Broadband Enabled or CHEAT CODES for PS2:

1. Choose "Expert Cheat Mode" or "Select Cheats" on the main menu and press [X] on the controller.

2. The alphabetical game list should appear now. Press [circle] on the controller and press [X] on Add. You will now see the virtual keyboard and New Game will be at the top of the screen. Use the arrow at the top right of the keyboard to delete the words New Game. Now enter the title of the game you are adding then press [X] on the middle arrow (enter) at the right of the keyboard.

3. The title you just entered will appear in alphabetical order in the Expert Cheat Mode menu. Move the cursor over the game title you just created. Push [right] on the D-pad of the controller to bring up a blank screen with the game title headlining the top of the screen. This is the Cheat Description screen of the game title.

4. On the Cheat Description screen, push [circle] then press [X] on Add so you can enter the name of the new cheat. Just like when you entered the game title, use the keyboard to get rid of New Cheat so you can enter the name of the cheat you are adding. You always want the Master code to be first on your list. When you get codes from our website, this is always the first cheat listed. Just title it M for Master then press [X] on the enter arrow on the keyboard.

5. You will then be taken to a new screen. You will see the name of the game at the top and the M code directly under it. Move cursor over the new cheat name, push [right] on the D-pad to bring up another blank screen. This time, the cheat name will be headlining the top of the screen. This is the code entry screen.

6. On this new screen, press [circle] and then press [X] on Add in order to enter the 16 character cheat code. Use the virtual keyboard and cursor on the screen to enter this information. Do not worry about the space, it will take care of itself. Just type all 16 digits in a row. When you have the first line of code in, press the enter arrow which is now found at the bottom right corner of the virtual keyboard.

7. You will now see a screen that has the cheat title at the top and the first line of code you just entered. If the cheat code consists of multiple lines, you will need to enter all of the lines to complete the cheat code. To enter multiple lines, press [circle] on this screen and then press [X] on Add. Enter the second line of the code then hit enter on the keyboard. Once this line is entered, it will appear underneath the first line of code previously put in. Press Left on the D-pad to get back to the Cheat Description screen so you can begin entering a new cheat.

8. Repeat steps 4 thru 7 until you have completed adding the codes you want on the Gameshark.

9. If at any point you wish to save the new information entered on the Gameshark, press [start] on the game controller. As long as you have an officially licensed PS2 memory card plugged into memory card slot one, the Gameshark will automatically ask you to save the information entered.

10. Once you are finished saving the codes, reset your PS/2 and then activate the codes you wish to use.

I think you should add it but it should have no effect on your overall total in any of the categories for the same reason you just stated, alot of people don't have access to the 2 hidden songs because they don't own a cheat device. I see no harm in posting the songs to compete with other players. I would put it under the category of bonus songs. The song would have no effect on rank on bonus songs, on easy, medum, hard, expert, overall score, and should not be counted in the total songs in the game or 100% list for players score cards.

It would just be posted for competing with others.

Regarding your Gameshark, is it 2.0 V 3 or above? If not, you'll need the code converted - which I'm in the process of doing. I'll post links to converted versions of the code as soon as I have them.

Would anyone be willing to take a video of the song? I'm curious to see what it's like but I really don't have the time or money to track down a Gameshark at the moment.
