Hi !
I am using cheat engine to cheat TOD on pcsx2. I want to cheat the CC in battle so that i can use infinite CC. The value is easy to find, but there is a big problem. The value of the address is changed when the battle finish, and i cannot freeze the value because it will break the game state and cause the emulator to crash. I used "find what write to this address", and code injection to give infinite CC and it worked. But the address of the instruction is changed after the battle finish too. The attach image show what write to the address when i modify the value in battle.

Create a symbol and pass the register's value/address into the symbol at that point (injection) and use it as a table entry, so it should always update properly. Just be sure that the instruction you're using isn't for a ton of different addresses, otherwise use the commonality scanner to limit the pass.

Sorry for my late reply^^. It did not work, the instruction address changes each time the battle scene start so the code only works in 1 battle, and when the battle is out, i have to do the injection again for the new instruction address. I am still learning so there could be something that i misunderstand from your post !

This isn't really a topic for general discussion. It should be in general gamehacking but that aside. Did you scan for commonalities like Birdi suggested?

Hi, sorry i did not know that Sad

. yes i did commonalities scan to find the CC value, then find out what write to it, and finally i use code injection but it did not work.

Scanning for commonalities will tell you which offset/value to use for comparison.

After searching the forum, i found a post that has similar problem to mine. So as DarkByte said in that post, i have to search by AoB for the opcode because the address of the opcode is changed everytime the battle start. And from there i need some comparision because dec and inc CC opcode have the same byte. I am still newbie to this so a big thanks you guy for helping me out !

I am still having problem with this game but as you suggested, i made a topic in game hacking ^^. The infinite CC in battle is too hard for me to cheat, even the pcsx2 cheat library does not have this cheat.

I'm not sure what game TOD is. I would suggest looking for pro action replay codes or xploder codes because, in my opinion, emulators are strange things to work with when it comes to modifying memory. They emulate hardware which is based on a different architecture than a typical PC and that's why I believe that they are more difficult to hack.

Sadly, the game that i am playing does not have any cheat code because it is the translation version of the original game (JP).But even in the original cheat code, they confirm that infinite CC in battle did not work, too. So that why i come here to find a person that can do it ^^, but after reading your post, i am feeling sad. So there is no other way though.

I'm not saying that it can't be done, just that personally, I can't give advice on how because my efforts have been somewhat limited. I tend to use the built-in cheat code system because it works.

You still didn't mention which game you are trying to hack. Is it Tales of Destiny?

Hello.
I got a problem while using Cheat Engine on PCSX2 1.60.
After I active the codes and change the value, nothing happened.
Some values are lock, -1 and 3305 yet I change them to Unlock and active it.
The game is Digimon World Data Squad.
The Cheat Engine said it works on PCSX2 1.60 only yet I used PCSX2 1.60.
Is there any specific setting to make it work?
