De Blob Cheats

[MadManMcReid]

Does anyone know if the cheats from the Wii version can be used in this?

[LupisLight]

Yes, they can! You just need to figure out the equivilant buttons.

[MadManMcReid]

I've been trying but no luck so far

I tried the original metheod (holding C and pressing a combination of 1 and/or 2 depending on the cheat, and couldn't get them to work. How do you use them?

Not having luck with guessing this either - the 1 and 2 buttons on the wiimote never did anything in-game so there's no way to figure out their equivalents on PC. On the wiimote the unlock all levels combo was B, B, A, 1, 2, 2, A, B on the start screen. B seems to map to RT on an xbox controller, and A would be either X or Y depending on the function (Wii a brought up compass and confirmed actions, which are two different buttons on PC port).

Really I'm just trying to unlock all the levels to mimic my old wii savegame. If there were a way to edit the saves on PC so as to match my progress on wii, that would be amazing but I assume is another order of magnitude more complicated than just the cheats.

Clarification, what I meant up there is that, eg. Jump button on Wii = Whatever your jump button on PC is.

I know I've managed to activate the invincibility cheat in-game. It was a while back, though, so I can't remeber how. Other than that I must have figured out which button to hold and which to press four times in a row.

[JpTiger0]

Huh. Can you remember what button that was? Whatever it is is the equivalent of the 1 button on the wii. So if you can figure that out, I'd be halfway to the level unlock cheat. Remember, there was no jump button on wii - just a swing of the wiimote. But I take your larger point I think (B on the wii is brake, RT on an xbox contgrollert is break, so anything that was B on wii should be RT on PC with xinput controller).

[LupisLight]

Um, actually, I never played DeBlob on Wii, just the PC version. It was all guesswork for me, IIRC. Sorry I can't be more help. Been trying to track down a pdf of the Wii version manual or something online that shows the Wii controls, but no luck.

I think I got by holding down Skip and then spamming buttons (or not), whilst I was trying to skip a sector scene.

Through what I have read on this and through a bit of experimentation I think that this is actually a slightly modded version from the old wii version. From what I tested "A" is "1" and "Y" is "2" so the invincibility, more time, and extra lives cheats all work in the same way as the wii. so for example; invincibility is "1,1,1,1" and input again to disable it. if playing on an Xbox One controller that would be "A,A,A,A"
I looked up some of the Xbox One ports cheats and that's how I figured this out. if what the above comments say are true then here's the listing of cheats that can be used in the game.

Hold down Back/Select during gameplay and input these buttons

Invincibility: A,A,A,A
Extra 10 Minutes: A,Y,A,Y
Extra Life: A,A,Y,Y
(assuming the buttons are the same, PS4 would be “A=X” and “Y=Triangle”)

Unfortunately, these are the only ones I can find that actually work (also the words are either backwards or in Russian(?) once they are activate/deactivated.) However I have been trying the ones that involve the “B” button in the code which is unlock all levels I don't think that would be plausible. Since this released onto consoles first, which is the Wii, and these are built-in codes these menu codes require you to stay on the menu until the code is finished. With the “A” button mapped to confirm this causes the menu screen to go to the stage select screen which then ruins the code. Yeah built-in cheats tend to be very picky this way, especially the ones that require fast enough fingers. It is entirely possible for the “B” button on the Wii remote to be mapped to the “RT” button but “A” for confirm throws the equation off.

Another interesting thing to note is that while looking through the local files, searching for the save file just in case the menu cheat worked I managed to find a file called “WiiYourself!” under docs, I believe this is some kind of Wii remote mapper of some kind. This pretty much makes me think that this is very much so the Wii version of the game and thus the controls are the exact same when using a controller or keyboard, which is why “A=1” and “Y=2” and the above cheats work. The last thing I want to note is that when searching for said save file I also ran into two folders under the folder labeled “Data”, these two folders are called “ShadersPS4” and “ShadersXB1” both of which are empty. Wheather or not that these were meant to be an option in the game or leftover from the new console versions is for a new discussion thread entirely.

Hopefully this answers most of everything.

Thanks. This is very in depth. I though that the "unofficial Wiimote support" on the Steam store page would come in handy :).

[MadManMcReid]

Thanks Sara'06. Works perfectly!

ive never been able to get the cheats working with my keyboard, any of them. what button do you hold down? the games manual says its Lshift and i feel like ive held every single button on my keyboard down well mashing space 4 times
