In case the values in the game are not represented by exact values, you will want to do a fuzzy search. A common example of this is a health bar, which is often represented by float and is rarely a value = 100 when full.
Here's some tips to get you started:
-Navigate to the exact search menu. Make sure you are starting with a fresh search, if not press start to reset the search. Press the R shoulder button to bring up the "Fuzzy search" menu.
-Start with all default values (initial value = 0, search type unknown, value type 32-bit, range 0x81000000-0x83000000) and click First Search.
This search may take some time and will result in many records. Once the number of records is shown, press circle button (ok). Now we want to reduce the number of records using process of elimination:
-Return to the game without resetting your search. For this example, let's pretend you have 90 inventory of a particular item. Now use one of the items in a game. Return to the search menu in Vitacheat. Leave Value as 'latest'. Since we decreased the initial number of items, we want to use the '<' search type. Leave everything else the same and click 'search again'.
-This will result in fewer records, but still too many to investigate. So we want to again, use the item in the game, go back to the search menu and repeat the procedure above to reduce the number of resulting records.
-After many searches, using this process of elimination, you will be left with only a few records. Now you can try manipulating these records to see which record is the value you are looking for. Easiest way to do this is to press the Triangle button to 'List records' , then put the cursor over your address of interest and and press Triangle again to go into the memory. Here you can modify the memory value then return to the game to see if you item of interest has changed value. Repeat this procedure for each of the remaining addresses from your search until you find the correct one (some game variables have more than one address/value).
There are ways to make your searches more efficient; for example, instead of constantly decreasing the value in-game, try increasing the value a few times. Another trick that narrows down the search results faster is to use the '=' search type by playing the game for awhile leaving the inventory of your item of interest unchanged.
