Are you using an NTSC ROM? Did you press the equivilent L button on your keyboard/controller?

If it still doesn't work, post again and I'll try to help.

Great, I'm glad this code has become a little useful!

Well, it doesnt let me add the code! I try removing the spaces in the end...but alas, nothing =(

"Super Mario 64 beta spin jump" code to create that action:
D033AFA1 0020
8133B17C 1080
D033AFA1 0020
8133B17E 08A4
To activate the action, you must press the L button... Still better than nothing! Do a double jump, then upon the triple jump, press the L button, and there's your spin jump!

By using the second action RAM address as an activator instead of the button RAM address, you can make replace Mario's triple jump with the spin jump without having to use the L Button! When the value for the triple jump(0882) is detected, the values for the spin jump will be placed into the RAM addresses for Mario's action.

D133B17E 0882
8133B17C 1080
D133B17E 0882
8133B17E 08A4

Likewise, if you want to replace the sparkly spin jump, use this code:
D133B17E 08AF
8133B17C 1080
D133B17E 08AF
8133B17E 08A4

And here are a couple more values:
0C40020A: Coughing (Hazy Maze Cave)
0002033B: Stuck in snow/sand (Butt in snow/sand)

I have been following this topic and so far I have found it useful for my hack but there is something i don't understand.
Lets say that insted of changing Marios triple jump I want to change his backwards jump insted, how would I be able to acheve this?

With some knowledge of assembly, one could use this technique to reprogram the flow of Mario's movements fairly easily...messiaen, do you have any stuff on this in your C header files?

Fun story; when I was making those MM0 codes, I noticed that my use of the GameShark code types was similar to programming, and shortly after started learning assembly so that I could do some real programming on the grounds that if it was easy to conditionally define behavior using cheat device codes, it wouldn't be that much harder to learn a slightly larger instruction set and program with that instead.

I wish more people would attempt things like that instead of resorting to the typical "I can't" or "I'm happy with what I can do".
