This was created using the ZSNES emulator, and Breakpoint Software's Hex
Workshop. They can be found at www.zophar.net and www.bpsoft.com, respectively.
This is my very first FAQ, and there are likely a lot of holes. I typed up all
I could think of, so if I left something out, please use the e-mail at the
top. Criticisms or words of praise are also welcome.
Everything was written using both ZSNES and Hex Workshop.
Each emulator uses a different form of save state, so this guide won't work
for anything but ZSNES.
Version History:
--Version 0.25, October 10th, 2002: Just started. Got stats, items, and gold.
--Version 0.30, October 14th, 2002: Added spells, and a capsule mod. What am
I missing?
--Version 0.30a, October 15th, 2002: Did some minor reformatting, and fixed
some mistakes I made, cuz I'm a dummy.
--Version 0.30b, October 17th, 2002: Added a quick note about editing the hex.
I don't think I'll be updating this again, because I can't seem to find the
offsets for the inventory items. That's the only thing I can think of to add.
It kinda bugs me, because I look, and look, and the numbers threaten to turn
my brain to goo... *runs to a corner and sobs, pitifully*
--Version 0.50, October 30th, 2002: I'm just making up these version numbers.
Bunch'a corrections, and an inventory mod thingie, all courtesy of
Phoenix 1911.
--Version ?.??, October 24th, 2003: Been a year, and I've given up on versions.
Relnqshd sent me a neat little e-mail about floors and dummy items. So...
yeah. Update! Oh, yeah, also added a the list of dummy items, as suggested by
relnqshd. Thanks!
-Fun with numbers-
I thought this guide was pretty easy to use, really. Until my friend showed me
differently. I forget that not everyone knows how to do this. Sparing you all
the annoying details, I'll walk you through it.
Assuming you're using Hex Workshop (because I've never worked with another
editor, so I don't know how they act), simply find what you want to change,
from the lists below, and make a note of the number beside it. Then you go into
your editor, and open the save state. Right click in the place with all the
numbers, and select Go To > Offset. Or you can just hit Ctrl+G. Either way,
once the find menu is open, enter the Offset in the box, and make sure that the
bubble next to Hex is filled in. Then you just hit Go. It'll take you right
there. Then you enter the number you want, in hex.
So, let's say I want Tia's attack to be 219. I find Offset 1AE1, and enter DB
as the digit. Hex Workshop comes with a nifty little calculator for figuring
this stuff out.
Bigger single-offset numbers, like hit points, work in a different way. I can't
find a good way to explain it, but HW has a nice visual aid. Find the offset
for the character you want, Arty, for example. The offset for his max HP is
1A1F. So I enter that, and search for it. When it comes up, the box in the
lower left corner has a bunch of numbers in them. Usually, the first two numbers
will tell you what the digit is. For HP and MP, you want to look at the second
two. The Signed Short and Unsigned Short. They're the same, so it doesn't
matter which. But that will tell you the number.
So. Let's recap.
Open editor. Load save state. Hit Ctrl+G. Enter offset. Change number. Save.
Reload the state into your emulator.
Yeah, that's not too hard, is it?
Useful digits to remember are:
(decimal) (hex)
1 01
10 0A
20 14
50 32
100 64
255 FF
65535 FFFF

(When entering large numbers, like for experience, you have to take the
number, break it in to pairs, and enter it in reverse order.
Basically, if you want 264918 experience, the hex is 040AD6. You would enter
it as D60A04, in the hex editor.)
-Item Stuffage-
From Phoenix 1911:
Items: 16A0-175F
Every item takes up two bytes and is stored in reverse order: item 1 is 0000,
item 2 is 0100, etc. Item 256 is FF00, and item 257 is 0001. There is no more
than 512 items, which means the second byte is either 00 or 01. The amount is
stored in that second byte; double it and ADD it to either the 00 or 01.
Example: you want 99 Egg Rings. Look it up in the item digits list; it's 6801.
Double 99 (198), convert it to hex (C6). Enter it as 68C7 in the hex editor.

I found the offset of the byte holding the number of the next floor, in
the ZSNES save states taken inside the Cave. It's offset $1F2A9. Example:
If you are on floor 5, the value of the byte at offset $1F2A9 is $06. If
you set it to $63 (99 in decimal) with a hex editor and play, the stairs
of your current floor will lead you to floor 99! Forbidden floor numbers
(0; 100 to 255) give various results: some cause the game to reset when
you use the stairs, others cause weird glitches, others work fine (Stairs
on floor 255 lead you to... floor 01).
