ROM Hack Question CHEATS CODE - Main address ?

[merlin555]

I have a game to cheat where as an address,
MAIN takes and has 10 positions.
When typing at the Ram Editor, however, you can only enter 8 digits
and with the CHEAT file it says it has the wrong format.
Do I have to change MAIN's address?

Who knows more?

its likely the format of your code, can you upload your txt file.

codes must be as follows

[cheat description]
XXXXXXXX AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB CCCCCCCC

A= code type
B= memory address
C= value
X= if you want to add an activator (optional)

So a code example:

[99 Lives]
01010000 006c7640 00000063

0X010000 - X= equals the byte size
01Y10000 - Y= If its a heap put as 1 (may not work if its address is dynamic)
010Z0000 - Z= register to use

Byte explained
1 byte if you want more than 255 (FF)
2 byte if you want more than 999 (3EF)
4 byte usually can give maximum the game can give 999999999 (3B9AC9FF)

This is just basic, it can go more in depth such as adding button activators

Thanks!
That's clear.
But the address is 10 digits and you can't enter in the RAM editor
at all and that's why SX OS also reports wrong format.
I thought that can sort of convert it.

Like Main+0x (0000000000) !

a screenshot would be nice, we've never seen Main + 10digits

do you have a screenshot?

 

[Retrojunkies]

that's ok, just forget it if too much work

 

[merlin555]

Unfortunately, I didn't take a screenshot.
The search goes on for a very long time at Starlink

yes, unknown search takes a very long time, could be 1-2 hours per search
it would be great if tx could add whatever section we choose to search

 

[merlin555]

What do you mean by searching section?

 

[DocKlokMan]

Some code types support 10 byte addresses. Though I’ve never used one personally.

 

[dsrules]

What do you mean by searching section?

I meant in ram editor you could see all the different sections
Main+
Heap +
Base+
choose which ever we want to search in

It is the "BASE" section not "MAIN" for the game Starlink where it stores the addresses.

yeah, that makes more sense

Is this a limitation of SX OS that you can only enter 8 digits or the hardware of the Switch?

tx doesn't support directly go to Base
you need to get pointer from Main that links to Base
