ROM Hack Noob needs help creating cheat code SXOS

[MrNerf]

Help noob trying to create first cheat.

Using SXOS (latest version).

Game Luigi's Mansion 3. Can't find any cheats for my build...

I used SXOS Cheat Searcher to lookup the number of hearts (99=63 hex). It found 4 addresses after narrowing it down a couple of times; won't get lower than 4 results.

the first 3 addresses remain the same address even after restarting the game and it holds the number of hearts displayed. When i take damage, the number continues to show 99 which is not accurate and if i disable the cheat, it shows the actual number of hearts (less than 99).
HEAP 0x1975f538, 1975f61c, 1975f620

The fourth address is the good one; it holds the proper value, however that address changes every time i restart the game... Upon changing the value in this address, it updates the first 3.
e.g. HEAP 0x231ce9c0, 245e0fd8, 245195a8, etc (new address after every restart)

I don't get any results for MAIN which apparently is more stable...

I'm totally new to memory cheats and need help... Read something about pointers but not sure how they work or if it's applicable here.

Using SX Cheat Code Tool, and a youtube as an example, I created the code but the problem is with the 4th address changing after every game reload. Memory write / Write to HEAP, 32 bit.

041F0000 1975f538 00000063
041F0000 1975f61c 00000063
041F0000 1975f620 00000063
041F0000 231ce9c0 00000063

My code also does not look like cheats for other builds found in common sites. E.g. I see 63 hex=99 but don't know where the other addresses come from and how to find them
[[99 hearts]
580F0000 019272D0
580F1000 00000018
580F1000 00000020
580F1000 00001130
780F0000 00001EF8
640F0000 00000000 00000063

I don't understand this. I read the guide to SXOS cheat creating but don't understand the concept.

-Can you help me understand a better way to access the 4th address after restarting the game?
-Can you help me understand how to convert my 1 line of code to look similar to the other cheats?

thank you in advance.

Other than that, maybe check this:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/cheat-codes-ams-and-sx-os-add-and-request.520293/page-685
and ask beardchub if any codes were found, or, ask there--you might get what you're looking for or a tutor?

Pointer is about finding address in main that has value containing closest address to heap address you want to edit and additionally adding offset if it's not pinpointed.

For example heap address you want to edit is 5010203040506070
In main you find at offset 0x123000 value 5010203040506000
So final address is
[main+123000] + 70

And you need to check after restarting game that this final address still works, because heap addresses can change with each run and main offset may not be consistent in this case, so you need to try different main offsets, because there will be many possible pointers in main to use. Just check tutorials how to use Noexs.

hello, I take help to create a .txt since there are no tricks, the problem is that I don't know how to do it since I don't understand when it's BASE +

This is my code:
[BASE + 0x5e579a3d4] (0x121)

all base address and dynamic address need to find pointer address

all base address and dynamic address need to find pointer address

# Code Type 0: Write to memory

0TMR00AA AAAAAAAA YYYYYYYY (YYYYYYYY)

T = width of write (1/2/4/8)
M = memory type (0 = main nso, 1 = heap)
R = register to be added as offset
A = address relative to (M)



I found this code:

[BASE+0x5e579a3d4] (0x121)

but, I don't understand what I should put if it's not 1 (heap) or 0 (main)


If it were HEAP it would be the following code:
[Gold Coins = 9999]
04100005 e579a3d4 0000270F

or if it was MAIN

[Gold Coins = 9999]
04000005 e579a3d4 0000270F


But it's BASE, how can I just write in memory?

use pointer tool to find a static pointeraddress if you could use noexs and atmosphere cfw

use pointer tool to find a static pointeraddress if you could use noexs and atmosphere cfw

i use SX OS

 

[dsrules]

i use SX OS

then you can't use the pointer tool
