Here is a simple guide to perform a very simple value modification.
This method is best suited to perform a one time cheat on large number, example: money or exp.

Note:
This cheat only applies once. Once the value has been modified, perform a game save so that the value will be saved.

Steps:
1. Run the game of your choice.
2. Prepare the value that you want to cheat. If you want to cheat on Money, try to earn a bit on it so you can search for it easily.
3. Note down the value of your money, example, let's say your current money is 62543.
4. Go to any dec to hex website and convert those decimal into HEX, in my example, it would be: 0000F44F
Note: you can use this site: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/decimal-to-hex.html

5. Open SX cheat menu, perform new search on 32 bit signed (game uses this format to store money, most of the time).
6. Once done, perform next search: with "Exact value" and enter the converted hex value from step 4, example: 0000F44F
7. If you have more than 2 results, go back to your game and spend/earn some money.
8. Go back to step 3.

Do step 3 to 8 until you got 2 results left.

9. Select either one, if you got 1 "Main" and 1 "Heap" listed, try the "Main" one first.
10. RAM editor will be shown for the selected address. The HEX value that you searched will be listed "BACKWARD"
Example for my case, I would look for: .. .. .. .. .. .. 4F F4 00 00
11. Go back to your hex to decimal converter, pick a new value you want to key in.
For me, I set my money to 962543. (I just added '9' in front). The Hex value would be: 000EAFEF

12. Enter the new HEX value into the address that is shown in RAM editor, earlier.
The old value .. .. .. .. .. .. 4F F4 00 00
I changed it into .. .. .. .. .. .. EF AF 0E 00

13. Go back to your game and see if the value is changed.
If not, go back to step 9 and select the other address and repeat steps 10 to 12.


I hope this helps, at least to those who just want to cheat the Money value and make the game slightly less "grindy".


Nice. My first Try on Fifa 19 for Transfer Budged is done whitout complication.

But how can i save the codes? (Main adress)

It's a quick one but try this:

Cave Story+ v1.2 (0100b7d0022ee000) (5d678e584423275c.txt)
Code:
[Disable Fix]

[Inf. HP]
04000000 0034aca0 000000XX
Replace XX with how much HP you want. Until Team Xecuter adds the ability to write a register to an address this is the best I can do without also changing your Max HP. (XX is in hexadecimal, so take a value between 1-99 and convert it to hexadecimal first [0x00 - 0x63])
Thanks to you, I can finally finish this game :yayswitch:
.......... the first ending, at least :unsure:

i meant what's the highest amount of used bits. like on PC where the biggest address of a process is 48 bits in length.
However, I guess it'd be the best to leaf the remaining bits blank to preserve this codehandler universal.
it uses 64bit address like ps4 000000XX XXXXXXXX
so, I guess the highest address could be 000000FFFFFFFFFF?

Any advice on where I would start on tracing back pointers from HEAP to MAIN?

I used to be a dab hand in making Action Replay codes back in the day, would be nice to start that again on current gen!
I think we need a tool to read the real address 64bit address in the ram dump, you know like Gateway ram dumps on 3ds can be read using Gateway Ram Tools

Yeah i have done that and cant get the megaman legacy cheats to show on the X series one it says no cheats. here is what i have done.

1 Downloaded the cheat file from official sx pro site.
2 Unzipped and put it into the root of the SD card
3 Went to the first message in this thread made a text file with the same name and copied and pasted all the contents and replaced the text that came standard as it was the same name and codes.
4. Loaded up the megaman legacy X series and then pressed home, back into the sx os cheat section and clicked select cheats and it says no cheats found for this game.
the TX cheat file is for Mega Man Legacy Collection, not Mega Man X Legacy Collection

You have to actually add the cheats yourself.
From TX's own guide on how to use the cheats.....

Cheat codes are placed inside the sxos folder on your microSD card. In order
for SX OS to pick up your cheat codes they need to be correctly placed in the
right subfolders. This subfolder format works like this:
/sxos/titles/<titleID>/cheats/<buildID>.txt

Hey only me who can't get the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 inf money cheat to work?
make sure everything matches when you go to the Cheats Tab
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 v2.0.0 (0100e95004038000) (6d34a75dbb68d4fb)
if everything matches and it still doesn't work then it might be a problem with the cheat code

While in the cheat menu make sure you press the "+" button after you enable the cheats or else they wont work even if they say enabled
