SSX Tricky: SSX Tricky 4-button Grabs for GameCube

This is a mod for SSX Tricky for the GameCube which adds a 4th grab via the "X" button on the controller.

When SSX Tricky was released on the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, several grabs were made inaccessible in the final version of the GameCube release. This mod adds those grabs back in.

==Two Different Configurations==

Two button layouts are offered. In the first configuration, PS2 Grabs, grab combos work just like they did in the PS2 version of game (e.g. "Experimental Air" is "L1 L2 R1 R2"). This option is recommended for controllers with 4 shoulder buttons.
Note: This option requires remapping your controller's L1 button to the GameCube's X button in Dolphin's settings, meaning it is not compatible with console.

The second configuration, Pro Grabs, is made for the GameCube controller. It uses "X" to complete new grabs. Please select the "Pro" controller setting in Tricky to use this option. This option is recommended for controllers with 3 shoulder buttons. The configuration takes a little getting used to, but it has been designed and tested to be comfortable. The old grab combos have not been changed.
Note: The "A" button acts as a trick modifier (tweak), in addition to jump. Be careful! With this setting, ubers can be activated using "A."

==Features==

Here's what to expect with SSX Tricky 4-button Grabs Mod.

- Compatibility with all 3 regions (USA, Europe, Japan)
- Accepts either ISO/GCM or Nkit
- Choose between PS2 Grabs, Pro Grabs, or PS2 + Pro Grabs
- Perform more grabs using the GameCube's "X" button

==How to use the Patch==

1. Extract "SSX Tricky 4-Button Grab Mod (GCN).7z" to a folder.

2. Drag game onto "DRAG GAME INTO HERE.bat".

3. Follow instructions on-screen. The modded game will appear in the folder after.

-=Patch Instructions=-
====================================

1. Drag game onto "DRAG GAME ONTO HERE.bat".

Note: If your game is on a network drive, move or copy it to this folder first.

2. Follow instructions on-screen.

3. Look inside folder for a new, modded game.

An unmodified dump of SSX Tricky (.gcm/.iso format) is required,
or SSX Tricky NKIT (.nkit.gcz format).

Full-sized games are required for .gcm/.iso format. (1,459,978,240 bytes for Gamecube)

4. If using a 4-shoulder-button controller (i.e. not the original GameCube controller),
bind your controller's L1 button in Dolphin's settings and make it act as the GameCube's "X" button.


============================
-=Introduction=-
============================

SSX Tricky was released on the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, but several grabs were made
inaccessible in the final version of the GameCube release, likely because the GC controller
lacks a 4th shoulder button.

This mod assigns the X button on the GameCube controller to be that 4th-button, restoring
the lost grabs on the GameCube's version.

You can choose either "Default" or "Pro" controller settings in SSX Tricky, by going to
"Options," and then "Configure Controller," and selecting settings for Player 1 and Player 2.


================================
-=Mod Descriptions=-
================================

1. PS2 Grabs Fix

This controller setting changes all the grabs to match the PS2 version of Tricky.
The GameCube's "X" button becomes L1. You need to remap your controller's L1 button in Dolphin
to the "X" button. Choose the "Default" controller setting in Tricky to use "PS2 Grabs" with this option.
**Select this option to play using a controller with 4 shoulder buttons, or to play using the original grab combos.

2. Pro Grabs Mod

This controller setting changes 4-button grabs to be comfortable for controllers with 3 shoulder buttons.
The "X" button becomes the 4th grab button. Use the X button in combination with L, R, and Z, to grab.
The "A" button acts as a trick (tweak) modifier, in addition to jump. Be careful! You can activate ubers using "A".
Choose the "Pro" controller setting in Tricky to use "Pro Grabs" with this option.
**Select this option if you are using a GameCube controller, or a controller with 3 shoulder buttons.

3. PS2 Grabs Fix + Pro Mod

PS2 Grabs will become the "Default" controller setting, while Pro Grabs will become the "Pro" controller setting.
**Select this option if you switch between different controllers.

-=MD5 Checksums=-
=============================

Search the web if you need help finding a file's checksum or hash.
These are mostly used for troubleshooting purposes (if something fails, check the checksum of the game you are modding).

Example:

MD5 47C64F8E60ECD70161B772ADB7F25109 SSX Tricky (USA) Original (.iso/.gcm)
^Your original copy should match this MD5 checksum.

MD5 F6004E90E18ECBFA0FA4419132955BB4 SSX Tricky (USA) (Pro Mod)
^Your modded game will match this MD5 checksum.

======================================
Troubleshooting
======================================

1. Patch tells me to look in the folder for a game, but there isn't any.

Fix: Please confirm your game is compatible using the table above, and
try again.

2. A message pops up with a blue screen saying "Windows protected your PC."

Fix: Right below the error message, click on "More info" and then select "Run"
or "Continue" to run the patch.

3. A black window pops up and then quickly closes, or the patch seemingly does nothing.

Fix: Try running the patch from the CMD prompt. You have to open the
CMD prompt. Click on the folder location bar at the top of your window
where your patch folder is located, and in the bar, type cmd and hit enter.
Once the cmd prompt opens, type Drag and then hit "Tab" once, and it should
auto-complete to "Drag game onto here.bat" with quotes, just like that.
Insert a space after, followed by the name of your game (e.g. "SSX Tricky (USA).iso")
also in quotes, if it has spaces, and hit enter to run the patch on that file.
Make sure the game is located in the same folder as the patch. You can auto-complete
entries and cycle through available names in the folder using the "Tab" key.

4. Still doesn't work.

Fix: Right-click on the patch file and select "Create shortcut."
Right-click on the shortcut you just created and go to "Properties".
On the properties page, look up to the box that says "Target", with the
name of the patch "DRAG GAME ONTO HERE.bat" inside of it. Put your cursor at
the end of that name, and put a space after the quotation mark. Type in
the full file name of the game you are trying to patch, and make sure it
is surrounded by quotes. For example, it should say
Target: ..."DRAG GAME ONTO HERE.bat" "SSX Tricky (USA).iso"
or whatever your game name is, just like that. Note the space in between the
two names, between the different quotation marks. Make sure the typed file is
EXACTLY the same as how the name of the actual file is, including the extension.
You can rename your game to make it simpler, or you can right click your game and
go to "Properties" and look at the top there. The full file name will be in
a box. The file name must have quotation marks around it, like the example
above. Make sure you have everything saved correctly, and then
double-click the shortcut file.
NOTE: If you right-click and go to the shortcut's "Properties" page and
click "Advanced" in there, an option to "Run as administrator" will become
available. Do not select this option at first - selecting it may cause the patch
not to run at all. However, in the case that the patch didn't run anyway, you
can try selecting this box afterward anyway and try it again. Just make
sure that the file name is exact: you must have quotes and you must also have
the file extension and have the extension inside those quotes. Refer to the
example above as a guide.

Fix: Re-download the patch and extract the files again, double-check all of the steps,
and make sure you've read any error messages closely.
