the game is
Time Diver Eon Man (U) (Prototype).nes

Today i'll go over handling basic writes
i'll take you through finding the raw codes and dealing with the debugger
the emulator i'm using to create these codes is FCEUXDSP v1.07
first i'll start with the lives
first thing to do is start by finding the raw code for lives
this type of search is an extreamly easy type to find
its exactly as it is shown on the screen
go to tools click cheats.

this is your Cheat Console

once the the part in which you play starts Click Reset Button you will
see a list of codes to the right then go to the Known Value Button and
type 02 in it and click search now that list to the right just got alot shorter
lose a life then type 1 in the known value box and click search now there should be
only one value left at 00B7

now click tools and debug and this should show up

in the upper right hand corner you can see the Breakpoints secion
click the Add button and this should show up

now the adress would be filled in with 00B7
click the write box
then click ok
to disable the Breakpoint double click where it says
$00B7 EC-W--
the E will disappear and it will not be active double click again and it will re enable it

loose a life

the game will freeze and the debugger will pop up
at the left in the big window you will see its changed from before the first line will read

$EACE:C6 B7     DEC $00B7 = #$02

what this is saying here is to decrease  00b7
so what we want to do is make it load instead of making it decrease
now if you don't know nes programming its ok i barely do one method
 i use to look for what to change it to is glance at the other code around
look for LDA however we don't want to break anything else in the game so
we have to keep it the same amount of data glancing down i see
$EADA:A5 8F     LDA $008F = #$00
thats going to be used as a refence only

so go to tools and click Game Genie Encoder/Decoder

now in the Addess box type  
EACE
in the Compare Box type
c6
in the Value Box type
A5

and the Resulting Code is
Infinite Lives
SXKVVZVG

another neat thing to do with lives and such is an inital write
after finding the raw code 00B7 and setting up the break point reset
now its going to stop right away hit run once the title screen comes up
 hit click over to the game  and hit start it should stop shortly after at
$FAC5:85 B7     STA $00B7 = #$00

scroll up untill you see

$FAC3:A9 02     LDA #$02
$FAC5:85 B7     STA $00B7 = #$00

whats happening here is its loading a value of 02 and storing it at b7
what we want to change is the 02
so open your Game Genie Code Encoder/Decoder
figuring out what address to use is pretty easy  its not at FAC3 because thats A9
its actually at FAC4

so just like before   

in the Addess box type
FAC4
in the Compare Box type
02   
in the Value Box type
09
 the resulting code is
Start with 9 lives
PEKYKZZE

 

now the only things that change from dealing with simple writes is the type of write and the way of finding the raw code remember every game is different some maybe harder than others 

Nice write up I'm going to have to try this for sure

This is awesome. Thanks hybrid!

its extreamly important to know which game i'm refering to

This should be expanded into an ezine article!

This is pretty cool. I'll have to mess around with this. How does it take the address and convert it to that creepy game genie code? What's the procedeure?

I agree with bunny on this one. This would make a pretty cool article. Earn yourself a pencil!

I ask, and the man delivers! Thanks Jeff.

heres a document on the techinal side of the Game Genie Code
its still abunch of stuff i don't understand

ok now we are going over what can be done with a Read breakpoint
we are going to find invincibility for Recca this time
starting the game and die one then opening up the cheat console once you re appear
reset and use the less than search a couple times if you can't make it before you die again
then use diffrent or greater than search type once you re appear do this until there is a few choices left
then test each one you will come apon 01A6 as the raw code for the invincibility timer.
open your debugger and set up a read break point. you will come to this
$F3AF:AD A6 01  LDA $01A6 = #$36
$F3B2:F0 18     BEQ $F3CC
$F3B4:CE A6 01  DEC $01A6 = #$36
$F3B7:F0 0D     BEQ $F3C6
$F3B9:29 03     AND #$03

basically its loading  1A6
then brancing if equal to

now by changing the First BEQ to a BNE
it will fool the game into thinking you are always invincible
BNE's Value is D0

so as before
Adress
F3B2
Compare
F0
Value
D0
and we get
ESUYZLEY

Remember i'm using the easiest examples for these types of codes other games maybe harder

For the basic explanation, the address/compare/data bits are shuffled around, then converted to characters instead of numbers. Would be like PASSWORD -> WSASDOPR -> 93132465.

Anyway to restore the pictures in the original post or maye a link to this tutorial that has the pictures intact?
 

yeah i can redo the pics i didn't think that people were still using this

I finally got curious enough to learn a bit about it. Sorry if it is an inconvience.

 

no inconvenience what so ever just give me a bit to redo the pics

edit all photos redone

Ah cool! I've been wondering what it would take to mess around with the GG some, and didn't know that there were resources already around. Thanks Jeff! Wow, seven years late, hahaha.

if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Thanks! Great stuff. I'll have to try this, doesn't seem that bad after looking through it.
