Editing the raw hex code, cheats do this usually, but using a hex editor can let you permanently change something.
Hi TomodachiWorld, I'm new today at early hours in the morning. I signed up for gbatemp because Anderxale gave us all advice on how to downgrade a PS VITA from 3.74 already within a day of the OFW from being released LOL.
I'm wondering if you have any experience on being able to find hex addresses from String References. For example, let's say I have a memory editor and I searched for something like "MaxHealth". How could I search for a string and find the location for where the health is stored without having to search for a specific new value? Like, say I have 100 health and I search for a byte of 100 and then I get shot where it decreases to 74 in order for me to search for 74 to grab the address, how would I do a string search to get the address instead?

depends, if it’s an rpg like final fantasy 1 or 2, then you should be able to look at all the values, see which ones go up or down from healing or taking damage, and you should find it.
Also if you must know that some games have values for starting max health for brand new save files, you should only edit that if you‘re romhacking a game, but if you‘re trying to cheat then it’s fine, but either way it’s not recommended at all.
I didn't realize that the server message block v1 protocol could be hex edited, but it's disabled by default anyway in Windows 10 & 11. 
What are the recommended hex edits to make it look like Mario has his dick out?

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -

@The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
