Step 5

Let’s dump the moveset! Right click -> Dump, For Player 1’s moveset, put “8008DC34” as the start address, “8008DCE8” as end address, filename can be whatever you want it to be, but it has to end in “.bin” and the format has to be “RAW - Big endian (n64)”, no more, no less, press dump.

Step 6

Let’s dump the parameters/fighting style/artificial intelligence! Same thing as above, just use the following adresses for P1: “8008DCFC” as the Start address, and “8008DD1A” as the end address

Done. You should now have the moveset and parameters files.

Player’s Moveset Address:

P1 - 8008DC34 - 8008DCE8
P2 - 8008DD28 - 8008DDDC
P3 - 8008DE1C - 8008DED0
P4 - 8008DF10 - 8008DFC4

Player’s Parameters Address:

P1 - 8008DCFC - 8008DD1A
P2 - 8008DDF0 - 8008DE0E
P3 - 8008DEE4 - 8008DF02
P4 - 8008DFD8 - 8008DFF6

Tip: You can dump up to 4 movesets/parameters using Tag Team/Battle Royal matches!

Part 2 - REPLACING THE MOVESET

Step 1

For this I will use VPW Studio. Make a copy of your rom, to use as the base rom, and create a project using VPW Studio.

Step 2

Go to Project -> File Table.

Go to Navigation -> Search (or Ctrl + F) and search for “Wrestler Moveset” or “Wrestler Params” and find the wrestler you want to modify.

Step 4

Right click his moveset or parameter file -> Edit Information (or Ctrl + I).

Step 5

Choose the path to your file in “Replacement Path”.

Step 6

Press OK, do this to as many files as you need to replace, then press Ctrl + S to save your project, and then choose Build ROM. You’re done.

Keep in mind this modifies the AI too, so you should edit the CAWs AI before doing this.

Have fun.
