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

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

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.

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!

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
