YS SAVE STATE HACKING GUIDE

INTRO
To hack savestates you need a Hex Editor, I use XVI32, which you can
find at
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de
BASIC TUTORIAL
Hex is system with 15 digits in "each place" from 0 -
F, F being "15"
For example AA = 170. *Hex Workshop comes with a
converter*
20B0 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
20C0 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 FF00 0000
Most editors have the address located at the left hand
column i.e. 20B0 or
20C0. Each "byte" consists of two dights. So 11 is
located at address 20B0,
while FF is located at 20CC. So if say wanted to
change your level,
to 21 You would go to the address that it's located
in: 20C7, Then you would
replace 01, with the number that you wanted (in this
case 33). Also for numbers
requiring more than 1 byte,the bytes are entered in
reverse. For example
9999 = 270f. So you would enter it as 0f27, NOT f072.
note: For XVI32, it has the address location of the byte highlighted; displayed
at the bottom of the screen.
ADDRESS LOCATION
16F - Strength
170 - Defense
*note - your total strength and defense is the previous value, plus the values
located in the next 3 addresses:
171 - str bonus of sword equipped
172 - def bonus of shield equipped
173 - def bonus of armor equipped
changing these values, do nothing, so if the total value exceeds 255, you
values will start over from 0 again.
458 - Current HP
549 - Max HP
changing your max HP also, does nothing, as it is a function of your level

For max level, just enter FF for 45A - 45B
