Hi All! Computer Wizards Wanted!

I've been wanting to port some cheats that I read about on GameFaqs

because, let's face it folks, who DOESN'T like playing as the BIG BADs?! ;D

OK, so here's my reasoning, chances are good that no one is going to make these codes available for the PSP version & available for PPSSPP unless someone actually makes it. Since I am rather inexperienced where coding is concerned (but have used a hex editor at times to cheat games), could y'all brain nerds give some pointers or ideas as to how I'd go about converting these codes for the GameSharked PSX version of FF Tactics into our CWCheat codes? Would I actually need to edit the master script or is there some relatively easy (not necessarily uncomplicated/simple) way to go about doing this? I know running a debugging script or Hex editor can be highly useful as it can artificially change stats in game based upon the numbers. You look for sets of hex via searching the code to find what matches up with it. My guess would be that if I can find the item codes for job classes, then I can make some kind of basic modification if the cheat codes are simple like changing health or gold in Might and Magic games.

Any suggestions?

Really, their needs to be a thorough tutorial so people can make up their own cheat codes. Otherwise, we'll be dependent on others. I want to see it done myself if no one else will. I could punch it out in an afternoon if it's just simple hex editing.

Interested folks, mind giving me some ideas?

Thank you SO MUCH!

And to clarify, I mean taking a particular stat and searching for it (HP is pretty simple) then looking to see what the current number is. Then you get hit by an attack, so the hex value changes. Searching for the changing code means that you can isolate current HP. Doing so means that the editor can edit the program/they are working on to isolate current HP and place in any arbitrary value that they desire, thereby making the HP anything, such as battling the final boss and making your characters have 2,000,000 HP.
