With the release of final fantasy 7 remake I've been dying to get back into the original. Unfortunately, the only cheats I've been able to find online max gil, an max mp for barret and cloud.
What I'm looking for specifically is max ap after battle, but using the rudimentary knowledge I have, I haven't been able to make that particular cheat. I'd like to give back and help if I can by doing this myself, but if not, is there a way to saaaaay, use a gameshark cheat from the original ps1 game to accomplish this? If not, can someone maybe point out what I might be doing wrong? I believe the max amount of ap you can get is 4 digits, so that means it would have to be at least a 16 bit integer. I've gotten into a battle, won, searched for the amount of ap gained (still in cosmo canyon so its between 40-60 per battle), but after only one or two searches I'm told there are no hits left and I've tried using signed and unsigned.
I'll keep plugging at it and looking up tutorials, but if someone could enlighten me I'd be greatly appreciated. An all items code would be pretty good too.

You can't exactly convert old gameshark codes because it's not always a simple 1:1 conversion, but you absolutely should start with old codes when you have them because even though the addresses are not going to be the same, the values written to those addresses usually are. Knowing what type of value you are searching for is half the battle so use that to your advantage when you can. Do you have the specific gameshark code you are trying to recreate?
I would start by looking at the values in the old cheat. If the values are simple numerical values like 270F that probably means you could just do a simple search like you are doing, if it looks more complex, it's more likely an ASM (assembly) cheat, float value (not likely in this case) or even more complex values like double float (but I wouldn't even worry about those) if it is something more complex like Assembly, you wont be able to search for unless you know what the default value was (usually you can find that with a "Disable" cheat) and not what the cheat value is since that value doesn't exist in the game since it was a line of code that the coder added to the script not a value that you wanted to alter.
I have the game installed at the moment. I didn't think about looking for cheats since there was already a number of built in cheats, but I can try to give it a look

Yeah, this one is supposedly a max ap after battle code.

If using old codes can lead to new ones, I can find TONS of old codes all over. If I can figure this out, I'd love to make several work.

Its been like a billion years since I have had to even think about Gameshark so maybe somebody else can immediately dissect it much sooner than I could, but I can work on it later tonight if nobody is making any type of headway.
This is all that I have for now. I can add GP, BP, Chocobo and Mini-game cheats in the future, but I am not that far in the game yet to do that. Final Fantasy VII ver. 1.0.1 Title ID: 0100a5b00bdc6000 Build ID: 99B42A70EC0234B5

If you look in the Item ID list you will notice that ID's repeat (e.g. Potion and Bronze Bangle both have an ID of 00.) The reason why the quantity is so wonky is because every other number is the quantity for the opposing Item. For example:
[Item Slot 1 Mod - 10x Potions]
04100000 6920B634 00001400 <------14 is the hexdecimal value for 20. All even numbers will be the quantity for Potions.
[Item Slot 1 Mod - 10x Bronze Bangle]
04100000 6920B634 00001500 <-----All Odd numbers will be the same value just for the shared Item ID.

***I havent tested most of these since I am still in the beginning, it's possible that these are out of order, or dont entirely work, but I do know they at least work for Cloud, Tifa, and Barret. I fixed the HP and MP cheats to work better in battle, and no longer clash with the in-game cheats. They work best paired with max HP & MP cheats (for aesthetic reasons), but it works fine either way.
@starlitalpha@hot This is what I have so far. These were really easy to find, not sure why nobody hasn't looked before, (probably the same reason I didnt ) I'll keep adding to the list when I convert the rest over.

Oh my god, youre amazing, thank you so much! Is there a website or resource where I could learn how to do this sort of stuff? I'd love to give back to the community or find codes on smaller games with less demand.

Sorry I posted the wrong cheat, I updated my post with the right addresses for AP and EXP.
As for learning about this, these particular cheats were very basic, so any cheat making tutorial will work. Doesn't even matter what console its for because the basics remain the same, it's just learning how to right SXOS cheats in the right format that change. For that use https://sx.xecuter.com/download/cheathacker_guide.txt for the basic format
To learn how to search for values I recommend starting by downloading Cheat Engine, and running their tutorial. I wish I had that when I started, and it will even give you a basic idea of how pointers and more complex cheats work for most games. This site also has a lot of Switch specific stuff.
I'd like to ask something about Animal Crossing New Leaf. I asked this several times now but didn't get an answer so far.
There are codes which let you fish all fishes easily. Is something like that also possible for the bugs? I'd really appreciate that
because I don't want to time travel just for that. Thank you!

I'll change it, thanks. Im still working on a few more cheats like No encounters and Save Anywhere. I might also Post cheats for HP MP and Limit breaks in case people dont want all three at the same time like the built-in cheat. So check back later and I should have them posted.
Also added this one to make it look pretty (i.e. no big bar across the screen), based on your excellent previous work, I'm sure someone will ask for it in the end
