Hey guys. I've been a long time lurker for the past year or so. I just really got into ps2 emulation this summer. Anyway, guys, naturally I want to play some of the games with codes. I'm trying to understand the structure for this specific code.
406D2F80 000700D4
00000079 00000000
From little what I understand, it's writing the values 0007 and 00D4 at that specific offset. But I don't understand why the bottom line is even there or why it just has 79 and a bunch of zeros.
Or is there maybe a guide somewhere that gives a breakdown of the raw code format andformats?
That's a condensed type of code(more advanced level if you don't understand how the basic ones works)
It's a type of code that modify multiple addresses but it's two lines long
In the example above you are writing D4 to 7 addresses and the difference is
206D2F80 000000D4
206D2F80+79(I don't remember if that was a hex 79 value or dec)000000D4
above address + 79 000000D4
and so on 7 times
You get the idea but that's only for normal codes
Thanks for the quick response. I'm actually interested in learning how to make codes and so on. Where or how did you learn to read coding? Is there a section on the site dedicated to learning programming and making codes?

There is no single place I learn everything but this can help

Okay I see, thanks. I found the other two links a while back when I was working on developing some personal codes for the ds. But I've never stumbled across that codemaster's site. Thanks for sharing it with me.
If I have some more questions would it be okay if I shoot some of them your way?
Also, the code you gave me is a bit wrong. The 79 is the value that's supposed to be written. I did some testing and I think the code means write the value 79 7 times every D4 spaces.
But thanks for the help anyway. It really helped me understand that code.

Yes,I was wondering how it was...I'm starting to forget some things because I more and more rarely do anything related to PS2 codes.
You'll actually want to read this one instead for the 'how pnach files work' guide.

It's an updated version and explains it a bit more thoroughly.
And as I told you in PM:
Code:
406D2F80 000700D4
00000079 00000000
Let's disassemble this a bit:
406D2F80 XXXXYYYY
AAAAAAAA 00000000
406D2F80 = The starting address. (The 4 indicates a 32-bit multi-address type of code aka condensed code).
XXXX = The number of addresses it will write to.
YYYY = Increments each address by this number.
AAAAAAAA = Value to be written to each of the addresses. (in this case 79 makes no sense, for Tales of the Abyss you'll want 15 (0000000F)
