1)Introduction
===============================================================================

This is a guide for all of you cheaters who like having all those items you are
given two or three of each at the amount of 99 or so. I won't explain how to
change a memory address value, I suppose that if you are reading this guide it's
because you're used to all this stuff and didn't want to spend one hour or so
searching for the exact place where the amount of items is stored (yeah, it's a
really easy thing), so don't email me asking. If my English stinks, sorry, I'm
Spanish :P

It's not dangerous altering memory addresses if you don't touch what you shouldn't
touch, I mean, if you change what I say you can change and the way I say you can
change it you'll have no problem. Other way I don't know what can happen to your
game or your saved game and I'm not responsible for it.

This is my first ever FAQ, and I don't think I'll update it. If you want to change
an amount of an item I've not listed just take SkyBlazerW's Item FAQ and go counting
from the last item I've listed to the item you want to change to get the address,
it's that simple.

===============================================================================
2)List of codes
===============================================================================

Some basics before you go crazy changing values on memory:

- All values are always 1 byte (8 bits) long, meaning that values go from 0 to
255. Don't try to be so smart as to put a 999 amount of an item (I guess whatever
you use to change the values won't let you do such a thing anyway). Other thing you
can extract from this is that if Item1's address (hexadecimal) is 020297b1, Item2's
address will be 020297b2. Easy, huh?

- If you enter an amount of more than 105 items/skill parts, the game will crash
when you try to see the 106th slot, that is trying to see page 16 of the list for
that item to assign.

- Entering an amount of items over 128 makes the game think you don't have any of
that item. You get to see an empty list of slots for that item when you select it.

- If you're using an emulator, once you change the value you can just let the value
you entered constant or deactivate the cheat and let the value grow when you get
another item of that kind. It's quite recommended not to let consumable items
constant unless for what could happen when you use up one. Just try to not let the
amount of items go over 105 in your game and nothing bad should happen.

020297e0 - Emergency Food

I've read SkyBlazerW's item guide and I've found that there're some kind of
Seishin Equipping Items that go after the Emergency Food, but I've not reached
the point of the game where you get that kind of items (I haven't even finished
the game once, don't have enough free time...) so I won't list them. You can
try with a savestate of an emulator if you wish and change the values after
020297e0 and see what happens, it's up to you.
