By the way, don't blame me if you ruined your fun playing with the cheated
version of the game.
I'm a game hacker, i only do this for fun.
You just have to be wise enough to use codes not to make the game too easy.

= 1. HOW TO USE IT :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well i assume that you have the great VisualBoy Advance emulator, otherwise you
are going to experience some problems. I am not yet skilled enough with the new
Code Breaker internal codes to provide you with the relevant codes. So wait for
a while till i get my hand on some docs, and if you have some
explanations send them to me.
Just take to code you are interrested in, check its adress and edit your
current value.
Enter it in the "Cheat list" menu of the emulator, with the "Add Code" button.
Note that you can enter several of them in a row just by putting them each one
under the others. Don't forget to keep the semi-colon between the adresses and
their values. (xxxxxxxx:yyyy)

= 4. EXPLANATION ON COMPRESSED BYTES :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well this one is a bit complicated for non regular game hackers.
So here's a little and brief summary of game/binary explanation
Let's say that you're coding a game, and that you have to store some items'
values.
The logical way is to store an item on each byte followed by its quantity,
and so on. You can also use a table of items, stored somewhere and a second
table for quantities.
An example of the last one is how are stored items or the character's specification.
This method is efficient when your values are expandables.
But when your items are unique, this method ain't the best since there's a lot
of optimization you can do.
Instead of having one memory adress for each item, it's more relevant for
coders to use a byte compression in order to save some rom space.
You give a specific (and unique!) value to each item that you have, and then
you divide them into rows.
With this method you only use 1 or maybe 2 bytes insted of lots more.
Enough with the thoery, here's some examples.
The adress for the relics is 02018834, and the value is in the ABCC-DDEF format
To know which relic is on or not, each item is given a value.
This part computes the 'B' part of the byte.
Gecko Tail +1
Silph Feather +2
Griffin Wings +4
Spirit Orb +8
This part computes the 'A' part of the byte.
Fairy Scroll +1
Monster Tome +2
Dracula's Eye +4
Dracula's Heart+8
Now you just have to compute each item you wanted to obtain the relevant value.
So if you want to activate Silph + Griffin + Spirit but not Gecko :
2 + 4 + 8 = E, the "B" value is set to E
(yes we're working in Hex, so E=12)
And all the rest of the relics :
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = F, the 'A' value is set to F
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = F, the 'F' value is set to F
Ok, i hope that you understand a bit this method, because it's not often used
but you have to if you wanted to perform your own hacking.
Before ending this section, i must add a word about memory adressing methods.
You can adress datas by :
8-bit : $12 <- 2 digits
16-bit : $1234 <- 4 digits
32-bit : $12345678 <- 8 digits
So in our previous example, the values would have been :
Format : Values :
ABCC-DDEF -> FE0E-FA0F
If you wanted to poke memory, you should have poke adress:values, thus :
02018834:FE0EFA0F
But ... not. It won't work this way.
Heh ? What ? Why ? You have to reverse the values bytes.
The way to adress bytes, support 2 formats, the Intel and the Motorola format.
Motorola is the coolest one : adressing by bytes from left to right.
Intel is the worst one : adressing bytes from right to left.
Let's say you want to poke $12345678, you would just write... 1234-5678.
(poke = write and peek = read memory, good old time hacking...)
But the fucking Intel format is a real shit, when you want to poke 12345678,
you just have to reverse the whole bytes, so to obtain our code you have to
poke 5678-1234. (weird isn't it ?)
For 8-bits, you just reverse... nothing it's exactly the same.
For 16-bits, you just reverse... by couples of 2 digits.
For 32-bits, you just reverse... by couples of 4 digits.
Format Motorola Intel
------+-----------+----------
8-bit: 12 ! 12
16-bit: 12-34 ! 34-12
32-bit: 1234-5678 ! 5678-1234

= 5. CODES SPECIFICATION :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
5a. Spellbooks :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The code format works this way : ABCC (in my case, the values are : 01)
A : Activation status code (in my case, selected and unused)
If the book is selected and used, the value is set to : 8
If the book is selected but unused, the value is set to : 0
B : Current spellbook selected (in my case Fire book)
1 : Fire book
2 : Ice book
3 : Thunder book
4 : Wind book
5 : Summon book
Exemple : so if you want to have the summon spell activated and that you don't
have it yet (but it's obvious, otherwise why would you be cheating instead of
activating it by the menu ? silly me) enter the following code 0201872:85.
Note that this one is not a compressed one even if we use an "A and B part" to
make one byte.
(i don't know the English for "bit de poids fort et de poids faible")
And because we don't compute values on the fly to make one byte. Ok ?
5b. Sub-weapons :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Sub-weapons can have the following values :
01: Knives.
02: Axes.
03: Boomerang-cross.
04: Acid.
05: Holy books.
06. Hands
07. White star (unusable)
5c. Relics : CAUTION - COMPRESSED BYTES - READ PART 4 !!!
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The value is in the ABCC-DDEF format
To know which relic is on or not, each item is given a value.
This part computes the 'B' part of the byte.
Gecko Tail +1
Silph Feather +2
Griffin Wings +4
Spirit Orb +8
This part computes the 'A' part of the byte.
Fairy Scroll +1
Monster Tome +2
Dracula's Eye +4
Dracula's Heart+8
This part computes the 'F' part of the byte.
Dracula's Ribs +1
Dracula's Nail +2
Dracula's Fang +4
Dracula's Ring +8
Now you just have to compute each item you wanted to obtain the relevant value.
So if you want to activate Silph + Griffin + Spirit but not Gecko :
2 + 4 + 8 = E, the 'B' value is set to E (yes we're working in Hex, so E=12)
And all the rest of the relics :
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = F, the 'A' value is set to F
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = F, the 'F' value is set to F
Now jump back to our codes, the format used here is in the ABCC-DDEF form.
(in my case, values are :bb0e-fa00)
A : Compressed byte
B : Compressed byte
C : always 0E
D : always FA ??
E : always 0 ??
F : Compressed byte
BUT REMEMBER ONE THING - THE CODE MUST BE REVERSED !
All relics found and activated :
So our code should be FF0EFA0F, enter it this way :
02018834:FAOFFF0E.
