--Intro--
1. An NES Emulator with Save State capabilities
2. A Hex Editor, which you can download a free demo of at www.bpsoft.com.
There is also some free, full-version hex editor at
http://www.filelibrary.com/Contents/Windows/123/7.html
(try HView or hexworks but they don't have as many feature HexWorkshop
3. Some idea of how to hex edit because im not very good at explaining...
But I guess I'll give it a shot for any beginners out there.
When you open your Saved State File it'll probably be set up something
like this, depending on which editor you're using.
Example:
00000000 | #### #### #### #### #### #### 3E## #### | ................
00000010 | #### #### E0## #### #### #### #### #### | ................
00000020 | #### #### #### #### FF## #### #### #### | ................
00000030 | #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### | ................
Each pair of ## represents ONE offset, going from 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-A-B-C-D-E-F.
00000000 | 0001 0203 0405 0607 0809 0A0B 0C0D 0E0F | ................
The value 3E represents the offset position 0C, E0 would be in position 14, FF would
be 28, and so on. Also, somewhere down near the bottom of the offset's list
it shows the actual offset itself so you don't have to count from the
beginning of the row. Thats about all you need to know to use this guide.
If you're still having problems (which I'm sure many newcomers would after reading
this garbage) then contact me and occasionally if someone sends
me an email with their Save State file attached, and specifications for what
they want, I'll edit the hex myself.
NOTE: When changing a character's status, open their
job selection screen and then cancel for it to work, and
if you change your job the status will return to normal.
Also, For Level and Skill Level the max value is 62.
