1) If the value NEVER changes, add an instruction to the loading sequence to set that byte in RAM.
2) If the value changes, this is the only option. Find the main loop of the game and add an instruction to write to the RAM.
Accually, if I could just find the main loop, I might even be able to make a program to do this.
You're thinking of AR or Gameshark. Game Genie modifies the ROM, so you only need to decrypt the code and make the same change. |

Not really...
As for you, Keikonium, using the GG-Conv program (the one that isn't in DOS), type in the code and then click the 64k button. Then you open up your calculator in Windows (if you have that), set it to HEX, type in the HEX number it gave you to the left in GG-Conv, then follow the instructions for the finding of the offset.
Hope that helps. |

I have an editor, and have tried to edit values that people (like BMF/Neko) have said to edit to change the amount of lives but it hasent worked. I use XVI (I don't think many people have heard of it). It is a good hex editor IMO, so if someone could tell me EXACTLY what to edit to change lives started with that would be great. |

Use any HEX editor. I use Transhexlation, but that is just me. There are more, like Hexposure, but it is up to you to decide which one to use. Go to Zophar and you might find some hex editors. |

Thats awesome cpubasic! Thanks. Do you, or anyone else, remember a program that can edit values such as amount of lives to start with? I could use the GG code that I have, and use the doc to insert it, but with this program it will be eaiser. I still will use this doc for something very important if you want to have a all the levels in my hack.... |

You don't have to know ASM to do this. This is simple. Weasel made a document about this. Here is a link to it.

Just follow the instructions carefully and you will be able to do it. You just need a Game Genie code converter (name of the program is in the text). This may seem complicated at first, but you will get the hang of it. |

wait I think at zophars there is a program that does this! *goes to check*
I don't understand ASM.
I checked at zophars, but none for the SNES. There is one for the NES... |

I need to have a game genie code in my hack but the person playing shouldn't have to put it in. Is there a way I can use it by putting it into the hacks coding? This may sould like a weird question, but the code would be useful for this second hack I have in the works.
Also, I read awhile back about a program that can change certain values, like the amount of lives that you start off with. I can't seem to find that thread. Hopefully someone knows what Im talking about.
Thanks. |
