2. Why am I writing this?
------------------------------------------------
You may think I'm crazy for writng a guide for a game that's 15
years old, but hey, it's a classic. But that's not the point. I'm
writing this because... Well, I feel like it.

Oh, by the way... This is "copyright" me, Cary Simon, because I wrote
it. So, don't copy it, and if you really want to use it that badly,
just ask me. My e-mail address is at the top.

3. Save state editing? Huh?
------------------------------------------------
First off, you can't do this on a real Sega Master system. You have to
use an emulator and a ROM. I used the MekaW emulator (extension *.s00).
Second, you'll need a hex editing program. You can find a good one at
BreakPoint Software's site, www.bpsoft.com.

And... Don't ask me for the ROM... You should have the game yourself,
and only use the ROM for a backup...

4. Hexidecimal 101
------------------------------------------------
Hecidecimal is a number system that, instead of ranging from 1-10, it
ranges from 1-F (16). To use the addresses listed below, go into Hex
Workshop, go to the Edit menu, and click Go To. Then in the place
provided, type the address that you want to go to. Or, you can scroll
down to it, if you want. Then, type in the value you want for
whatever
you're editing. It's that simple.

The maximum values for most of the addresses ahead are either FF
(255)
or FFFF (65535).

5. The addresses
-----------------------------------------------
These are the addresses where the important values of the game are
located. For experience and level, set it to FFFE and 1D, respectively.
Get in a battle and you will level up to max level. This way you will
have all the spells.

*Note* Although the max level you can get to legitimately in the game
is 30, you can go over. This is useful, becuse even if you change the
stats, they will reset to the preset values for the specific level
that you are on. Just make sure you don't go too high, or your stats
will reset to 0 and start going up from there.
