Other game savers such as Playsaver or saves using Bleem may work, but I wrote this FAQ using The American version and a Dexdrive. You will also need a hex editor. I use the editor in PSXGameEdit, which can be found here: http://moberg-dybdal.dk/psxge/ You'll also want a hex converter, but I don't have a recommendation. I simply use my calculator, but I have no idea if yours will do Hex. BASIC TUTORIAL Hex is system with 16 digits in "each place" from 0 - F, A being 10, F being "15" For example AA = 170. *Hex Workshop comes with a converter* 0x20B0 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0x20C0 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 FF00 0000 Most editors have the address located at the left hand column i.e. 20B0 or 20C0. Each "byte" consists of two dights. So 11 is located at address 20B0, while FF is located at 20CC. So if say wanted to change your level, to 21 You would go to the address that it's located in: 20C7, Then you would replace 01, with the number that you wanted (in this case 33). Also for numbers requiring more than 1 byte,the bytes are entered in reverse. For example 9999 = 270f. So you would enter it as 0f27, NOT f072. *I get rid of the 0x in front when displaying addresses in the faq* *APPARANT MAXES* level: levels go higher than 60, but I'm not sure what good it'll do you !!Spell levels start from 0-2, 0 being level 1, 2 being level 3 The value given below is the point for the first one. they go on 1 byte for each spell.!! HP: 999 MP 999 Attack 99 Magic 99 Defense 99 Agility 19 Movement 9 Jump 9 Throw 9 Catch 9 Counter-Attack 9 items 99 equipment 99 *IMPORTANT INFO* !!Stats like attack are actually five times what appears on the status screen. So if you wanted an attack of 20, you would multiply it by 5 then convert. Any values in between multiple of 5's are rounded down when displayed on the status screen. *CHARACTERS* ARC Level: 0538 Spell Level 0544 Current HP? 054C-054D Max HP? 054E-054F Current MP? 0550-0551 Max MP?
