| 1. Introduction |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Welcome to my FF5 State Save Hacking walkthrough. I made this because
I was impressed at how DracoStar made one for FF6. Being able to edit your
characters and such seems too cool to pass up. So I decided to make one
for FF5. Simply enough it only took me 20 mins. to figure out how to do this.

***Before reading on, be advised that you need the following so you can have
the full extent of this guide in use!***

A. ZSNES Emulator
B. Final Fantasy 5 ROM (I used the FF5 Translated
into English version.)
C. Save/Freeze State of your 4 Characters
D. A Hex Editor Of your Choice. But I would use
HexWorkShop which you can download for free at
www.bpsoft.com (I believe it's a 30 trial version)
E. Hopefully you know how to HexEdit. Because I
really don't feel like teaching, but I will
put a few pointers for you I suppose.

**Instructions**
All you have to do is open your Hex Editor program, open your save state
file, Usually it would be ff5.zst or ff5.zs# (with # as 1-9) which is located
in your zsnes directory. Then edit away!
Any ways I hope you all enjoy this and e-mail me if you have any problems.

| 3. GP/Gill Offset |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you want lots and lots of GP's for your save state, but don't feel
like selling coral rings over and over again like I said under my handy tricks
and hints section, then this is for you, all you need to do is go to the following
offset and type in the following hex digits. You should have however much GP you
want then (listed below) Hope your happy!

155A

If you want -> 500,000 GP Type 20 A1 07
1,000,000 GP Type 40 42 0F
2,000,000 GP Type 80 84 1E
4,000,000 GP Type 00 09 3D
6,000,000 GP Type 80 8D 5B
If Your GREEDY get 9,999,999 GP Type 7F 96 98

________________________
| 4. Character Offsets |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
OK, Here we have the Offsets to each of the characters in FF5. One thing
I have found is there is no point in editing the HP and MP to anything
different because they will just reset once your change your job once your in
the game. If you want to change your HP and MP, the best thing to do is make
your level higher. All you do is go to that offset and change that hex number
to whatever number you want (without going over the Max - listed below) And
when you return to your game, the changes should be made.

- Level
Your Characters Level of course. If your are familiar to the Final Fantasy
Series, then you should know that the highest level you can possibly get is 99.
Therefore don't try to put anything over level 99 because I have no idea what
might happen.

- Total Experience points.
This is your experience points. Instead of just editing your level, you could
just add a ton of experience points on yourself. Then fight 1 battle and gain a
few (or a lot) of levels via exp. You need to add to what your experience is at
currently or you might not get what you want. Example would be if your character
has 7777 experience points currently. And you want to let him have 2000 more exp.
then you need to type the hex of 9777 to get the correct experience.

- Hit Points
Your characters hit points. Again, if you are familiar to FF, then you should
know that the highest hp you can get is 9999.

- Magic Points
Your characters magic points. Again (this is getting old). 999 is the max.

- Strength
Your characters strength (duh). I'm very sure the Max is 99.

- Agility
Your characters speed. Max is probably 99, I tried it and I was going
very quickly already, almost too fast.

- Vitality
Your characters vitality. Not sure exactly what this does, but the Max is 99

- Magic Power
Your characters magic power. The strength of your magic. 99 Max.

- Job Level
Your characters job level. Example if your character is a knight and has
level 2 knight. That is what this offset is. I haven't really tried to edit
the level to something higher or lower for the Job. So I think its more safe
if you wish to master a job after 1 battle, do edit the ability points (below)
instead of trying to edit the job level.

- Ability points
Your characters ability points toward your current job. This uses up 2
hex bytes. This is the best way to master jobs after 1 battle. Type E7 03
at the offset of your character to get 999 ability points when you reload
your state save. Then just fight 1 battle. and your get 1000 ability points
and earn all (or almost all, in some cases) of the levels in that job thus
mastering your job. Some jobs take more than 1000 ability points to master
so all you need to do is save state, reopen your hex editor, and put 999 more
ability points under that job, reenter your game, fight 1 battle, earn 1 ABP
and thus you get another 1000 total and this should master your job.

___________________
| 5. Item Offsets |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Basically the same as above. You have about 255 spaces for items in the
game. Below I have listed every (known) item in the game and their hex number
so you are able to put anything you want and how ever many of that item you
want. Know that the Max amount per item is 99.

Example: If you want a Masamune Katana in your items list. Simply go to Offset
1253, then type in 2F. Then go to Offset 1353, and Say you want 5 of these
Katana's. All you do is type 05 on that offset. And your done!

Another Example: Say you want 3 Excalibur's, 99 Elixir's, 4 Genji Armor's and
35 Holywaters. Start at offset 1253, then type 15 (for excalibur), E3 (for
elixirs), C8 (for genji armor), and E6 (for holywater)... Then go down to offset
1353 and type 03 (for 3 excalibur's), 63 (for 99 elixirs), 04 (for 4 genji
armors), and 23 (for 35 holywaters). And your done! Good luck.

1253 beginning of item list (item itself)
1352 end of items list (item itself)

1353 beginning of item list (amount of item)
1452 end of items list (amount of item)

____________________
| 6. List of Items |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is the list of all items/weapons/armor/ect in the game. This is used
with the above offsets to set your items and amount of items for your game.
This list might be incomplete but I am very positive I have everything here.
All of the weapons and armor are listed by weakest to strongest. This doesn't
include the special advantages/disadvantages that each item may have.

Example: The Thornlet Helmet may have a better defense than the Genji Helmet,
but it's disadvantage is that your character gradually loses HP during battle.

I also added a * (star) next to the 12 Legendary Weapons just for kicks. Enjoy.

I'm not sure about the rest of this. But it seems like the original
programmer's didn't know what to do with the additional space so they made
everything else say Item0000 with a sword icon next to it. Basically the
rest of this is useless, unless you feel like seeing it for yourself.

| 7. My own personal list of handy tricks and hints |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Need some GPs?
OK, Say you want to have a ton of money in your game. The best way to do
this is to add 99 CoralRings to your inventory, and just sell them. I believe
you will get about 4,000,000 GP for that.

*Update* If you don't wish to do this, go to my GP/Gill Offset Section above
and get however much GP you want right away.

Here I have made a chart for converting dec. to hex. To get a certain amount
of whatever stat. you want, look under the Dec side for the normal number, then
look under the Hex side which are across from each other, to get the hex digit
to type in order to get the right Dec number.

Dec / Hex
For Level, Stats... 30 1E
50 32
70 46
99 63
For HP, & MP... 100 64
200 C8
300 2C 01
500 F4 01
700 BC 02
999 E7 03
HP Continued... 1000 E8 03
1500 DC 05
3000 B8 0B
6000 70 17
9999 0F 27
