Howdy Folks! I'm Here to talk to you about Zelda 3 And a awesome program known as "Cheat Engine" (Google It...)

Basicly, What this program does, is first, you select a program you want to look for values. Lets say were running ZSNES and have a Zelda 3 Rom running. First you would find that running EXE in the process list. Next, make sure the setting are set to this.


Scan Type: Exact Value.

Value Type: 4 Bytes

Memory Scan Options: 32bit

Hyper Scan Checked

Also, In Settings, Change Max # Of Adress To Display to 250.

Were Going to search for the rupees adress.

So, Under the Value, put in whatever amount of rupees you have (It Will be easyer to find the adress depending on your rupee ammount)

So Enter in The Ammount, and hit first scan. You Should see a list of alot of adresses. Next, go get another rupee and go back into cheat engine and enter in the value of your rupees now and hit "Next Scan" Now Hopefully the adresses should be lower. Now take allok at the values of these adresses and keep a eye on them. Next, go into zelda 3 again and loose a rupee or gain one. If you see a value change to that ammount, you know thats it. Now hit the little arrow to bring it down and check to box to freeze it. Now Go over to value and change it to you want. There Ya Go! Easy Adress Hacking.


PS. Sorry If I Sound like a n00b. I'm Still trying to look for the health adress.

Many emulators have their own cheat engines. Those are much more useful if you intend to actually hack the game, because you can find those addresses in the actual rom. You won't be able to use the addresses 'Cheat Engine' gives you.

On the other hand, an external program is sometimes the only way to get to sram.

The Windows build of SNES9x has, in my opinion, a better cheat finder than ZSNES. I've always found the ZSNES UI to be very clunky, and the cheat finder is especially clunky to use.

The only time I generally use External Cheat Engines is when I want to modify subroutines in real time to see what a particular instruction does.

The SNES9x cheat finder is fine for most basic exercises in finding an address. I found a myriad of addresses in Megaman X within minutes using it. There are a few quirks of using it but once you know them it's pretty versatile.

ZSNES needs a ram window like in FCEuxd where you can freeze and unfreeze values directly.

I totally agree. I actually love to just pick a RAM address and just start overwriting it with garbage. For one thing, crazy things usually happen, and for another thing, its a decent way of finding out what RAM addresses store what.

Sorry for the late reply all...

Cheat Engine is an awsome program since you can cheat with it on sites internet gamming sites. It works with anything IMO including DOS games and Window games. There is many flaws with it though since there is ways to break proccessing instructions to crash your computer though...so be carefull when messing with it.
