Hacking Tutorial

ALL I WANT TO DO IS FIND THE "FIND STRING" THING!!!!

it is found on this tutorial:
http://www.codemasters-project.net/...al/cmp_plugins/content/content.php?content.55

that is all I asked for, and I want to find something.

plus, you do not need a dump! I am following the guide lines on the tutorial!

jees....ok, I am cool.

 

For KH2, you need a dump. Not all games are the same.

 

that ur taking over the hacking tutorial and u need the abilty to edit the thread or make him a coder but w/e. can u give him that ability?

thats wat i said

 

What did she say? Oh, she's offline now.

 

ok, can someone please explain why I need a dump!

anyway.....since that over with, I seriouly want to try something like "items * 99" mod or something like that, and I need to the "find string" thing to do that......

but seriously, I know that YOU KNOW what I am talking about, it is just that you guys are stalling me because you don't me to have that kind of info...well, atleast that is what my gut feeling is telling me.

anyway, PLEASE!

by the way, I have the beta form of ps2dis, so is that my problem?

 

You need a dump because it will show the amount of the thing you're searching for. The ELF won't. Anyway, everyone grab FFIV's ROM. The GBA version.

 

roms are illegal though........
also, what ps2 game do you think is perfect for hacking?

 

depends how you get the ROM that makes it illegal
arcade style games

assist in what

 

so like capcom classics collection?

@ kh1212 - do you know how to access the find string function in ps2dis?

EDIT: nv....

anyway, I am going to try to hack guitar hero's menu with a new trick I learned at cmp!

 

Listen guys, sorry that there was no tutorial update yesterday, but there's some business that has to be taken care of first. Hang in there. I'll update it soon.

 

cool.

I am trying to hack guitar hero, and I ran into this label called "cheat_beat_song".


I am trying a code right now.

 

guitar hero is amazingly easy to hack. anything you want to know how to hack about it, pm me.
oh anc cheat_beat_song is the line that activates when you put on the no fail cheat (so you beat the song)

 

so 20139c00 24a575c1 would activte it, and 20139c00 24a3575c0 dis-activates it?

 

~TUTORIAL UPDATE~
Welcome to the NEW hacking tutorial run by me. I hope everyone has fun and learns something.

Today, we will be maing a 32-bit RAW code, and then converting it into 2 16-bit Codebreaker codes. Sound tough? It's not tough at all, and I promise you that you will get it right away. Grab FFIV's ROM and start up VBA.

Now, when you get to the world map (TUTIMG1) hit pause(TUTIMG2). Note, your pause menu should look different than mine because the text on mine has been hacked by an experimental code of mine. Check your money, then open up your trusty Windows Calculator. Type in the value displayed for your money exactly as it is shown. Then, click the HEXIDECIMAL option and the number will automatically be converted into Hex. There we go. We have a money mod.

But, it's not over yet. "Aww man. I have this stupid 32-bit code that won't fit into my Codebreaker." Not a problem. This code can easily be changed into two 16-bit codes. Go to disassemble on your VBA and type in the address of the money mod and it should take you to the address. Now, when you get there it should be one 32-bit code, but, not to worry. Change the game's code writing from Automatic to THUMB and the 32-bit code will then be changed into two 16-bit codes for you.

Now, you change it into a Codebreaker code by changing the first 0 in both lines to a 3 because 3 is the 16-bit encryption for the GBA. Note, I did not give out the end code because I wanted people to figure it out for themselves. Hope everyone found that easy because it's just the beginning. PS2 is next.

 

Thanks guys! Sorry I forgot the attachements.

 

dude you are a saint!

I am working on a ratchet and clank 1 bolts mod:

here are two codes I came up with; they are NOT tested.

x015f274 yyyyyyyy

or

x015f27c yyyyyyyy

x = 0, 1, or 2, depending on y; 0 for 2 hex digit amount and under, 1 for 4 to 3 hex digit amount, and 2 for 8 to 5 hex digit amount.

y = amount of bolts in hex.



like I said, it isn't tested, and I hope it works because those are the only 2 addresses that had "00000000" under the "bolts" string label, and plus, with the bolts string label, you cannot refer to another address, leaving only those two addresses.

what do you think?

 

I think you need to GET A DUMP. Seriously, dude.

 

beyond that subject, where can you get the FFIV rom legally?

\

if what I think I saw; the syntax, within the lines that were exactally above the those lines, I think I can add to them, and it will effect the game via bolts.

trust me, I know what I am doing.

if you want to know everything about all 4 lines, ask me in this thread, and I will give you the lines, the syntax, commands, ect.

-----------------------------

EDIT: OK, I havn't tested it yet, but I just wanted to say I am sorry for doubting you, If you want, I will get a dump, but where do I get a dump and where do I plug it in?

 

extract it from your legally bought copy of FFIV

 

oh, right yah, I don't got FFIV so I will wait till he makes a tutorial using a game that I have!

a.k.a. = chain of memories/RE: chain of memories, kingdom hearts/ kingdom hearts 2, ratchet and clank series, jak combat racing, and others that I have.
