hi there, quick question about the cheat stuff...

i'm using the following cheats:

7E5E30-FF
7E5EB0-FF
7E5F30-FF

which currently locks the character's in-battle hp to 255. problem is, near the end of the game you start getting a max hp upwards of 700hp, and the enemies attacks get stronger too.

if their attack is stronger than 255, the character acts like it's dead, and the battle timer starts over again. in one particular battle, i had to wait 4 cycles before i was able to attack with one character.

i tried widening the cheat search to 2 bytes, but i can't seem to find a way to lock the hp to higher than 255.

is there something i'm missing? maybe i'm using the wrong addresses?

any help would be great. thanks

modify the byte before one of the values above, see if it affects HP. if not, modify the byte after.

(e.g. for the first one, mess around with 7e5e31 or 7e52f).

given that there's a max of 999, which can be represented in 10 bits, it wouldn't surprise me too much if the upper/lower 6 bits are used for something else. when you adjust values, check ALL stats to see if something got bumped.

once you've found what affects HP, CLOSE OUT AND RELOAD THE GAME before using your newly-found cheat codes. you don't want any of your prodding to have unforeseen consequences to your stats etc.

thanks, it seems you're right.

7E5E31 is the higher bits, 256hp jumps, set it to 3 (768hp base)
and then 7E5E30 to E7 for the other 231hp, which gives 999.

so, the whole list should be:
7E5E31-03
7E5E30-E7

7E5EB1-03
7E5EB0-E7

7E5F31-03
7E5F30-E7

and for MP, it's:
7E5E34-63
7E5EB4-63
7E5F34-63

i had a feeling it was something like that... on a side note, these cheats probably shouldn't be left running continuously, i've noticed a few spots on the world map that are unpassable due to pieces of the map becoming replaced with glitched squares. (eg: getting to the xenan bridge from guardia castle, there's a couple in 2300ad as well)

now all i have to do is decide who i should take to black omen...
