ROM Hack Looking for Children of Mana Saves

[WangJang]

I am looking for any children of mana saves from any device, from any point in the game, i would appreciate it

Thanks.

I'll upload my save which is quite far in the game later (it will be an m3 save).

I hope this means you going to be making a savestate editor for this game as the only thing i could change without fixing the checksum was the money and only too 9999 from 5675

I'm Level 40, 463HP and 208MP, play time 13:40, and $7602.

EDIT: you can download it here http://normmatt.com/ds-saves/c23Children_of_Mana.dat

 

[WangJang]

Thanks a lot!

Thanks to you, i have saved a lot of time

I have already located the checksum routine, and i have a patch ready to fix the checksum, i will need to rewrite it from arm assembly so i can recreate the checksums without patching the rom.

Thanks again.

 

[Normmatt]

Ohh cool.

I have been looking for any values for my stats in the save but was unable to so i'm assuming the data is compressed.

But still i'll be happy when i can max out my stats as i'm currently suck in the game

 

[WangJang]

You won't find them because they are not there, hp/mp/stats are all based of your level + equipment.

i doubt i will create a editor for this, as its not really playable so here is the code to fix the checksum.

[Normmatt]

Bah, I wasn't reading it right

Btw, is BYTE just declared as an unsigned char?

EDIT: I've got this working, but when i change the level which i assume is at 0x39 in my save the level of my character doesn't increase but when i change the money located at 0x33 it works fine.

EDIT2: I've found the location of the items and i may make an editor for this game ..... though it will probably just end up being a max out utility

EDIT3: Hahahah, theres a debug weapons called "Ultima" which have 999 attack too bad i cant seem to get them to equip

EDIT4: It appears if you max out all your items you cant equip any new equipment ... i should of known that would happen

 

[WangJang]

Glad you got it working

I saw the debug items yesterday, there is also a debug armor with 999.

If you take 0x0C (where you pass to the checksum routine) as the base, then for instance.

base+0x215 is Knapsack size, 0 to 4 (smallest to largest)
base+0x053 is Playtime
base+0x027 is Gold
base+0xDBB is Experience (Level) change this to 0xF1 0x08 0x01 0x00 for level 99

Cya
