ROM Hack Question why can't I find any value with SX OS cheat search tool?

[daijobu]

I'm trying to hack the money value of Dynasty Warriors 8 DX edition. The max value of money is 9,999,999, so I picked 32 bit unsigned value and put the exact value of the current money I have, which is 101000. Found 146 results, so I spent 100 and put in the new value 100900, and then the cheat engine says no new candidates are found.
I tried with few other values, like materials, both with 32 bit and 16 bit, and the exact same thing happened.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I doing anything wrong? Any tip would be appreciated!

did you convert the value to hex before searching?

Are you saying that I'm not supposed to put the value as shown in game, for example I have 101000$, and that's what I put in the search. Was I supposed to put the hex value of that instead?
Thank you for telling me this, I had no idea.

Thank you for replaying! Are you saying that I'm not supposed to put the value as shown in game, for example I have 101000$, and that's what I put in the search. Was I supposed to put the hex value of that instead...?

yes, you could only search hex value when using exact value search with sx cheat searcher

Thanks a lot, I converted it to hex and found the right result. Last question, how can I save down the address in the form of those cheats that are found on the sx os cheats database so I don't have to re-search the value and change it manually everytime I reenter the game?

You'd need to find the base address which you can't do with SX OS and the process isn't as simple as finding a value, look it up on youtube.

after you found the address, write it down paper or something
then you need to verify the address is static or dynamic
if the address was found in Main then it should be static
if the address was found in Heap then it could be dynamic or static, reboot game and use the Ram Editor to jump to the same Heap address to verify the address has changed or not, if the address doesn't change then use this tool to convert the address into correct cheat format

I only have and needed these 2, since it's crazy how much you need to grind constantly for money and gems to level up everyone and get their best weapons. I only found the addresses, Stoned compiled them for me.

[9.999.999 Money]

[9999 Gems]
