Thanks this codes worked. Can you point me to a tutorial on how you made this codes. I tried to do some myself using vita cheat, but I could not get it to work.

I'll have to test these out, but good job. The game uses a type of memory segmentation that makes pointers difficult on lower versions of Vitacheat, but super easy on z06.
If they work, it'll be cool for folks who don't want to upgrade to 3.68.
If you're interested, the other Neo Geo games (King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, Last Blade 2, Garou...) should be very similar, pointer-wise.
The codes myself and a few others have made for higher firmwares were fairly simple to make, and the approach you use to one game applies to others.
Also, if you're not using it, grab Pugsy's Cheats for MAME, and you can easily figure out offsets to port over to Vitacheat. They're not always the same as the cheat database, but they're a good resource to have. You'd want the mslug3.xml file for more possible codes. The other games are in that database, too.

Thanks for the Codes.
But... The codeslist not showing in my vitacheat version z.04 beta. What's Wrong?? I'm on 3.60 ENSO.

If you just copy and pasted the codes, they have unrecognized characters in the codes and there's stuff that shouldn't be there

So, how should I proceed? Because copying and pasting the codes in a .psv file using notepad does not work, for example...

You have to edit out the stuff that shouldn't be there before pasting it into the PSV.

you can do a search on youtube for 'How to search pointer codes using tempar pointer for vitacheat part'. There are quite some tutorial out there. However, note that even if they provide you some basic hacking, you'll sometimes need to find the other half yourself. Some game requires multiple reboots to find the next pointer which is the same case as this game.

How do you change this codes to PSV file
Or what are the steps to make this work
