are you saying how to convert a cheat to a different region?
could you give an example?
That's exactly what he is saying. I did the same for my Fantasy Life US Codes. I got them from my EU Version and took a look at someon else's US Code that would have the same Effect.
(So I could add Codes to the US Database that weren't there already without the need of an actual US Version)
Example:
EU Fantasy Life Dosh Offset:
039A5C0C
US Fantasy Life Dosh Offset:
039A0C0C
Subtract US from EU
039A5C0C - 039A0C0C = 5000
["Port from"-Offset] - ["Port to"-Offset] = [Difference]
EU Fantasy Life EXP Offset:
039A5C04
Estimated US EXP Offset:
039A5C04 - 5000 = 039A0C04
[EU Offset] - [Difference] = [Est. US Offset]
["Port from"-Offset] - [Difference] = [Est. "Port to"-Offset]
Now let's compare if the Port would be correct.
Actual found and tested US EXP Offset:
039A0C04
039A0C04 = 039A0C04
Est. US EXP Offset = Actual US EXP Offset
Therefore this Port works.
Explanation:
In a lot of games the Version depends where the game gets loaded into the RAM. Therefore there can be a difference between the Offsets for their specific region.
The Game's structure however will usually stay exactly the same. Therefore you can calculate estimated Offsets for the other Region if you have 2 Offsets for the same Game but Diffferent Region that point to the same Thing (for example Money).
