I used some program to get the Game ID from the ROM and got AKYE-6665C7F8 for the US version, which seems to be correct. But neither of the codes works for me. I confess I am using an R4 and the ROM. I don't have the cartridge yet either. The R4 let me access the cheat menu with that game ID though.

these codes worked in renegade64 and no$gba perfectly, but they don't work anywhere else. can someone with more skill tell me what's wrong?

Oh, it's the second bit. You have to change it to a 2. So, for example, money is 021E8194 0007A120. I tested both codes and they worked after this change. However, when doing this, it wouldn't let me load my game; it said it was corrupted. But making a new game and then using the codes and then saving and reloading without the codes worked well without corrupting the save.

I'd also suggest changing the skillpoint code to 99 skillpoints instead of 1, just for convenience since the first time you save and quit after using the codes is the last time you can use them.

Edit: Anyone reading this, he added jokers which circumvent the need to create a new game, so don't be scared off.

ugh that's annoying

yeah, the saves have a checksum. welp, looks like i'm starting a new game. i messed up some of my builds anyways

actually, let me try using an activator

SCORE!

Ah, that's great. This game is surprisingly difficult, so a lot of people will probably want these. The game also seems to be flying under a lot of radars, so I think you were pretty much the only person working on codes for this game at the moment.

how did you know to add a 2 as the second bit? i've not read that anywhere

why didn't you make it 99SP, 63 hex

because shut your face?

because you're a n00b hacker and 63 is a big number?

do you honestly think i didn't know how to write 99 in hex?

80 is a nicer number. having everything be 99999999999 99999 9999 99999999 9999 all over the place looks like shit

also, don't insult the people who bring you new codes, fuckhole

No, it was 69%, now its 71%

Whatever...

fixed a duped line in the second code, should affect the 16th character now

Some remarks...
First, your conditional codes don't have the D2/D0... (=endif) code type after them. They are mandatory !

Second, your 80SP set of codes can be shortened a lot by using the C0... code type :
94000130 FCFF0000
C0000000 0000000F
221E7BA0 00000050
DC000000 00000064
D2000000 00000000

thanks learn something every day

i knew there was a way to shorten it, i was just unfamiliar with how. now i know :3

how do i toggle a constant-write?

added a code

That games seems to be nice (I usually like dungeons games). Not quite sure what to do for it... So I came up with these stupid codes.





Btw KingMengHuo, your max hp/tp code is a bit wrong. For exemple, you seem to be (or should be) aware that the block of data for each player is 0x64 bytes long, but you write above these 0x64 bytes (ie. you overwrite data of the next guildmember) ? Also, when using your code, the gauges gfx go too high. Oh, and the HP/TP values are 16 bits, not 8 bits...

Anyway, I've tweaked your code to make it use pointers (as the game uses pointers - which does not mean the data is moving, but just in case it does), and I also added a 'cure' effect (all bad statuses, even death, will be cured after a fight), and I changed the 255 health/tp to a max health/tp (the code will copy the max value to the current value) :


Had to put an activator, else some quests were impossible to finish (like the one where you need to be petrified).

Edit : Put a second activator, else the code was lagging the game way too much. The code will only be applied when B is pressed AND while the camera isn't moving (but you don't have to stand still, it'll still work if you press up (to move) while pressing B, as the camera pauses briefly between 2 tiles. However, if you press B very fast between 2 tiles, the code will not be applied).

thanks. can you try to come up with an in-battle HP+TP restore? i've been trying for hours and hours and i can't seem to pin it down. if you could do it and then tell me how you did so, that would be immensely appreciated, i just can't let this one go unsolved but i don't know that i can do it at my skill level

Oh dear god YES.

As you asked, here is how I found the in-fight HP(/TP) code (you need the TT of course) :

Enter a fight. Search for the HP of the first player (new 16 bits search, then 'search again' for the value of the HP).
Now make all your players defend. Do this until the first player gets hurt.
Make a 'search again' for the new value of his HPs. You should have 2 results.
Try to change the values of these results, and look if the value change in-game. For my case, only poking the value at 0x0223395C was also changing the value on the NDS screen. You'll also notice doing this that, for the in-fight player data, the health (and all other values) are 32 bits.

Now make a ram dum of 0x02000000-0x02400000. Call it 'etrian' for exemple. Open it with my Pointer Search tool, and make a pointer search for the address you found (go in the 'Pointer Search' tab, click on 'File 1', select your etrian ram dump, then enter the address you found in 'Address 1', and click 'Go !', then go to the the 'Pointer to ARDS' tab).

I had one match : 020F0F14 0223379C

You'll also see in the left memo of '0223395C'. It's the address we searched for. Add ' 000000FF' to it. Click 'proceed', and you'll have the codes for the health of player 1 :

620F0F14 00000000
B20F0F14 00000000
000001C0 000000FF
D2000000 00000000



That's about it. Now by looking at the values near [020F0F14]+0x1C0 (ie. near 0x0223395C for me) you'll spot the max HP, and the current/max TP. Also, I saw that the next player health data is at 0x2233C54, which means the in-fight player data is 0x2F8 long.
You can also find the statuses, by dying and looking at what value changes.

Also, going at 5*0x2F8+([020F0F14]+0x1C0) (=5*0x2F8+0x0223395C), ie. going to the '6th player', will actually put you at the start of the monsters data (change the value there, and you'll see the health of the first monster decrease).

Sooo... We can do 2 set of in-fight codes here :
One for the Party (max health/tp & cure)
One for the monsters (1 health for exemple).



This code will read the max HP (D9000000 000001C4), and will write it over the current HP (D6000000 000001C0). However, the D6 is an incrementive write, so after it, we'll have offset = offset +4. That's why we don't have D9000000 000001CC for reading the max TP, but D9000000 000001C8 (=0x1CC-4), and same for writing the current TP (0x1C4 instead of 0x1C8). And as this second D6 also adds 4 to the offset, to get the next player data we finaly add 0x2F0 to it (=0x2F8 - 4 - 4) (same for the statuses : they are 'normaly' at pointer+0x260, but as we used 2 D6 codes before, we need to remove 8 from it : 0x260-8=0x258)

Now for the monsters, let's make the 1hp code. Not quite sure how much monsters will there be at max... I finaly set this number to 8 (as you can get up to 8 items after a fight, wouldn't that mean up to 8 monsters are allowed ? - edit : indeed, I checked the game asm and it search the fighters data up to (base address + 13*0x2F8)) :



These codes will need testing, but they should work.
Of course from there other codes could be made, as there is a lot of data for each player/monster.


Edit : found a small problem with my codes. They were only working properly if there were 5 heroes in the party, which might not be always the case. So I added checks to make sure the codes make the difference between the heroes and the monsters (but it makes the codes a bit longer).

Edit2 : Just in case (might be not necessary), I added some checks to make the 1hp/fullhp code not write to place where there are no monsters/allies. These code should now be final.

Thanks Y.S. for the clever ideas.

Replace the two 0x1116 with another number to get another item (I'm not going to make a list, and beware putting a 'wrong' number might/will crash the game).

This code doesN't seem to work. Tested it last night and all it does is freeze the screen at the beginning of the opening credits. Maybe adding an activator like "Press L+R to activate" will fix the problem?

Anyways, Thanks for the good work, though. Other two codes work like a charm.

-

Strange... What do you mean by opening credits (when do they appear - I can't see any...) ?
Also, try to use the code alone (without other codes). Problems might appear when two codes are conflicting, or when too many codes are used.

Oh, sorry. Actually, I was thinking of the wrong code. I can actually get to the main screen of the game where you are asked to load a saved game or new game. If you select load your saved game it tells you that the file is corrupt.

Any way to add an activator to that?

Yeah, easy :
Press L+R to...
94000130 FCFF0000
//insert the codes here

However I still don't have any problem (no file corruption)... May I ask what you are using to apply the codes (r4/m3 ? dipstar ? nitrohax ? CBDS ? ARDS ? something else ?) ? And did you try using only this code (and no other) ? Also double (triple) check that the code has been entered correctly.
