Updating Practice Codes

The codes are stored in the Codes.xml file. If you want to add or change codes edit the XML file. Note that GMSJ0A refers to the NTSC-J 1.1 release of Super Mario Sunshine. (It's not actually called version A but that's what we've been calling it for years due to a misconception on what the A on the back of the box means).

When adding new codes keep in mind that the English title/description are mandatory.

Reserved Memory

Some codes store some states in the games memory starting from address 0x817F0000. To avoid collisions use a memory range in the unallocated ranges:

Adding translations

1. Create a new file <lang>.json in site/.vuepress/i18n, where <lang> is the language code you want to add. Copy the contents of en-US.json into your file and translate each entry in the JSON file.
2. Create a new folder with your language code in site (such as site/de for German). Create a new markdown file for each existing page (guide.md, index.md, ios58.md, ...) and translate its contents from the English version.
3. Create a new entry in site/.vuepress/i18n/locales.json with the site metadata and navigation items for your language.
4. Open Codes.xml and add a translation for each code (<title> and <description>).

Updating Guides

You can find the guides in the site folder. Simply edit the corresponding markdown file (.md).

Note that in the code reference files everything following the <!-- injectionpoint --> tag will be removed during the next build.

Site Development

If you intend to change site code you need NodeJS version 14.X LTS installed on your local.

# Install dependencies
npm i

# Run project in watch mode
# This will serve the page in development mode on http://localhost:8080
npm run dev

# Build project
npm run build

The XML codes will be written automatically to the json file and code reference during the following actions:

• Starting the development server with npm run dev
• Building the site with npm run build

If you want to inject the codes at any given point you can use npm run codes:inject.

!!! Note that if npm was used, npm run codes:clean is ran automatically as a pre-commit hook, removing all injected codes and staging ALL changes. If you want to commit changes without cleaning codes first you have to commit through git commit --no-verify.

Build and preview the site (Docker)

The project root provides a docker-compose file, which creates a clean build (with the same configuration as the production build) and spins up a minimal Apache server on your local, serving the resulting build on port 8080.

# Build and serve the site on http://localhost:8080
# Press CTRL+C to stop the container
docker-compose up --build
