INTRODUCTION

THis guide is intended to allow you hack game saves with the aid of a Dexdrive.
Other game savers such as Playsaver or saves using Bleem may work, but I wrote
this FAQ using The American version and a Dexdrive. You will also need a hex
editor. I use the editor in PSXGameEdit, which can be found here:

http://moberg-dybdal.dk/psxge/

You'll also want a hex converter, but I don't have a recommendation. I simply
use my calculator, but I have no idea if yours will do Hex.

BASIC TUTORIAL

Hex is system with 16 digits in "each place" from 0 -
F, A being 10, F being "15"

For example AA = 170. *Hex Workshop comes with a
converter*

0x20B0  1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0x20C0  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.

*I get rid of the 0x in front when displaying addresses in the faq*

*APPARANT MAXES*

level: levels go higher than 60, but I'm not sure what good it'll do you

!!Spell levels start from 0-2, 0 being level 1, 2 being level 3 The value given
below is the point for the first one. they go on 1 byte for each spell.!!

HP: 999
MP 999
Attack 99
Magic 99
Defense 99
Agility 19
Movement 9
Jump 9
Throw 9
Catch 9
Counter-Attack 9
items 99
equipment 99

*IMPORTANT INFO*

!!Stats like attack are actually five times what appears on the status screen.
So if you wanted an attack of 20, you would multiply it by 5 then convert. Any
values in between multiple of 5's are rounded down when displayed on the status
screen.
