Dark Cloud 1 PAL defense pnach codes

[TMProjection]

//Defense, the last 2 digits represent a hex value, ie 99 in decimal equals to 63 in hexidecimal, 50 in decimal = 32 in hexidecimal
//so say you want to turn a decimal number that is 66 into a hex number, google "convert decimal to hex"
//https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/math/decimal-to-hex.php
//IMPORTANT, only use one of the codes per character

//Toan
//patch=1,EE,01CF0194,extended,00000042  //66 defense (this is the max Toan can official achieve if all the "Fluffy Doughnuts" he ate were +7, best use this code after you collected and used all of this stat boosting item to max it out, otherwise youre bypassing the game initial limits)
//patch=1,EE,01CF0194,extended,000000??  //put whatever hex value you want in place of ??

(Below is the initial questions I asked to get the above codes working correctly)

Hey guys, so a few question, I am trying to get certain codes for the built in injector for PCSX2

http://us.codejunkies.com/search/codes/D...13___.aspx

the problem is the folder code doesnt convert using Omniconvert

for example, say i have:

(M)
R9F8-PC9F-1W99R
THTM-YT0N-76580
57ZY-XUHV-K4YZF
VFE7-FK9B-M32EA
KQEK-5ZFB-F8UP9

Cash Codes
N8UU-714Z-RX6J6

Infinite Cash
G2VM-VQ7Z-BZB7Y
JAPP-4PN6-6YAQP


if i convert that to raw i get:

(M)
F01410D0 001410D3
900F0094 00000001

Cash Codes

Infinite Cash
11CDD892 0000FFFF


so nothing works, also another reason i THINK this isnt working is that i believe these codes are for Dark Cloud NTSC, and I am running PAL / Europe version, thoughts?

Thank you for that, ok it sort of helps, one thing i noticed, I put in around 20 hours into the game now and I initially used this code:


//Infinite Cash
patch=1,EE,21CF0192,extended,0000270F

what i noticed was that this code also reset Toans defense back to 0, turned the code of, gave him a fluffy doughnut (to increase his defense) and it confirmed it that his defense has been lowered back to 0 as it went up by 5 and stayed now at 5.

i tried loading a game with the code disabled at a point where i didnt use that code and the defense was fine, isolated that code to be enabled by itself and yes it is that code that resets his defense to 0

the link you gave me with the cash code doesnt do this and works fine:

//Infinite Cash
patch=1,EE,11CF0192,extended,0000270F

theres only 1 number thats different and its odd that it creates a problem
patch=1,EE,21CF0192,extended,0000270F
patch=1,EE,11CF0192,extended,0000270F

i found these codes where i could get defense boosting item so it builds up correctly through games mechanics but i think its for NTSC only:

That is strange...
I don't have this game, you should ask in the cheats section:

The difference in these two is the range of bytes being written. Since the most significant digit of the memory address is outside of the PS2's memory space, pnach format uses it as a flag to control how many bytes of the value to actually write. So if the address leads with 2 (as in the first code), all four bytes of the value are written. If it leads with 1 (the second code), only the two least significant bytes are written. If it leads with 0, only the least significant byte is written.

[vsub]

Or in other words,if the game is using those two addresses
01CF0190
01CF018F
for something else and the game don't like the value to be 0(which is what you are doing when you use 21CF0192),you may encounter problems

Some games don't like values above certain number for something specific,other games use 2 bytes for items(01CF0191 for item enabled and 01CF0192 for how many you have of it(if the limit is 255 or less))

When you convert the value from hex to dec,if the value is
Less or equal to 255,use 0
Less or equal to 65535 but higher than 255,use 1
Less or equal to 4294967295 but higher than 65535,use 2

270F = 9999 so use 1

270F = 9999 so use 1

ill be honest, this is out of my understanding, so basically im left with the main characters, defense, being reset to 0, and the only way to put it back up is to give him the stat boosting items, but i only have around 4 left, which would only bring him back to roughly 28, instead of his max which would be around 70, is there any way to use the NTSC codes on PAL game, converting the codes somehow?

[vsub]

What codes did you use it when his defense become 0

[TMProjection]

What codes did you use it when his defense become 0

//Infinite Cash
patch=1,EE,21CF0192,extended,0000270F

100% this one

so now i put in around 30 hours into this game and im stuck with his defense on 0, i have around 4 items to boost his defence but its nowhere near as high as it could be due to this cheat code bug

i loaded up a save i made around 10 hours into the game before i enabled any cheat codes, with just this code enabled, and it reset his defense to 0, just to check which code caused it, it definately is this one, so im just trying to see if theres a way i can go around it to sort out his defense, or stat boosting item, i dont want to go over video game limits that were implemented if that makes sense

like some codes modify actual stat numbers that are not actually achievable, im just enabling codes like infinite money to save time so i dont have to grind in dungeons for hundreds of hours haha


so here is some great codes i found that would fix my problem for example

http://www.codetwink.com/view-cheats-459...cloud.html
http://www.codetwink.com/view-cheats-459...ge-22.html

1E Code Breaker Version 1-5
Enable Code (Must Be On)
FA7A006E 32C68449

2E Code Breaker Version 6+
Enable Code (Must Be On)
9AC4449B 18161F9F

it has item code modifiers, which means i could put in the stat boosting items fixing the problem, but another problem, i believe these codes are for NTSC version, as i havent been able to get them to work, i believe i converted them correctly from codebreaker to raw, but as im running PAL theres no way for me to be sure

It is weird this code to change something so unrelated to money.

Download Cheat Engine,run the game(don't enable the pnach\cheats)with with not affected save,select pcsx2 from cheat engine,open this file and show me what it says

Make a screenshot also of the affected save

The easier way to get max items of the item that affect the defense is:
1.Make a save state
2.Select pcsx2 with cheat engine and when you are at the screen when you are about to use the item,search for the amount of it that you have
3.Use it once and search again until you have only one of it
4.When you find the address,add it by double clicking on it,load your save state and change the value in cheat engine

Set the value type to byte when you are searching

Some games don't display a change in the number even if you change it until you go to some other menu or exit enter it again
