• How to apply a PC game patch

  First of all you need to make sure that you really want to change to game (thats what a patch does, it make's it able to by-pass the code checker on the game), cos in most licence's of game's it says that you are NOT allowed to modify the the game. Well thats the legal stuff over now for how to att ually do it 1. unzip the game and patch into the games dirctory, we will assume this is c:\games\gamename. then go into that directory (by going on start menu then run and brouseing the drive, or by goiing on windows explorer), and finding the games patch, double click on the patch then run the game.

  How to make your own cheats!!!!

  There are two ways to make to make your own cheats, by using zsnes(which i prefer) or by using snes 9x (which is still very good) Zsnes First figure out what you want to increase or decrease. In this tutorial we are going to use the game Chrono Trigger and we are going to increase the amount of silver points that you have got. Step 1) Load up the Chrono Trigger rom into Zsnes, make a new game, go to the millenium fair, and go to the soda guzzling stall BUT DON'T USE THE STALL! Step 2) Press escape and go to the cheat menu, select search Step 3) On the new window that comes up select 1 byte, Dec and exact value search. Then click start. Step 4) On the next window type the number of silver points that you have got(if you started a new game and you didn't pick up any silver points then this should be 0 ) in the text box. Then click search. Step 5) Then return to your save game and get some silver points in the soda-guzzling contest (check out the Chrono Trigger walkthrough for a tip on how to win this easily). As soon as you have finished taking to the man press escape and go back to the cheat menu then select search. Step 6) Now click view and a hell of a lot of gibberish will come up all you have to do is look at the column that says value and look for the amount of silver points that you have now(if if you started a new game and you didn't pick up any silver points before you used the stall then this should be 5). Step 7) when you find it select it and press add (there may be more than one of these values if so then repeat the next few steps until you do them all). Step 8) in the first text box type how meny silver points you want (you cannot put it more than 255 unless you select 2 or more byte at the start) and in the second box type in a description of the cheat to remind you what it does, then click add (ignore the rest of the text boxes). Step 9) Go back to your game and you will have what ever number you entered into the box as your silver points! You could put this to use in other game by just substituting silver points for lives or something. Snes9x(this ones from the snes9x readme) Lets give ourselves infinite health and lives on Ocean's Addams Family platform game: Load up the game, keep pressing the start button (Return key by default) to skip past the title screens until you actually start playing the game. You'll notice the game starts with 2 health hearts and 5 lives. Remember that information, it will come in useful later. Launch the cheat search dialog for the first time, Alt+A is its accelerator. Press the Reset button just in case you've used the dialog before, leave the Search Type and Data Size radio boxes at their default values and press OK. Play the game for a while until you loose a life by just keep walking into baddies, when the game restarts and the life counter displays 4, launch the cheat search dialog again but this time press the Search button rather than Reset. The number of items in the list will reduce, each line shows a memory location, its current value and its previous value; what we're looking for is the memory location where the game stores its life counter. Look at address line 7E00AC, its current value is 4 and its previous value was 5. Didn't we start with 5 lives? Looks interesting... Note that some games store the current life counter as displayed on the screen, while others store current number of lives minus 1. Looks like Addams Family stores the actual life count as displayed on the screen. Just to make sure you've found the correct location, press OK on the dialog, and play the game until you loose another life. Launch the search dialog again after the life counter on screen has been updated and press the Search button. Now there's even fewer items in the list, but 7E00AC is there again, this time the current value is 3 and the previous value was 4. Looks very much like we've found the correct location. Now that we're happy we've found the correct location, click on the 7E00AC address line in the list and then press the Add Cheat button. Another dialog, Cheat Details, will be displayed. Type in a new value of say 5, this will be number of lives that will be displayed by the lives counter. Don't be greedy, some games display a junk life counter or might even crash if you enter a value that's too high; Snes9X keeps the value constant anyway, so even if you do loose a life and life counter goes down by one, less than 20ms later, Snes9X resets the counter back to the value you chose! If the memory location you add a cheat on proves to be wrong, just go to the Cheat Code Editor dialog and delete the incorrect entry. Now lets try and find the Addams Family health counter. While two hearts are displayed on the screen, visit the cheat search dialog and press the Reset button followed by OK. Play the game until you loose a heart by touching a baddie, then visit the cheat search dialog again. Press the Search button to update the list with all memory locations that have gone down in value since the last dialog visit. We're going to have to try and find the heart memory location now because there were only two hearts to start with. Look at address line 7E00C3, its current value is 1 and its previous value was 2. Scrolling through the list doesn't reveal any other likely memory locations, so lets try our luck. Click on the 7E00C3 line, press the Add Cheat button and type in a new value of say 4 into the dialog that appears and press OK. Press OK on the Search for New Cheats dialog to return to the game. At first sight it looks like 7E00C3 wasn't the correct memory location because the number of hearts displayed on screen hasn't gone up, but fear not, some games don't continually update health and life displays until they think they need to. Crash into another baddie - instead of dying, the number of hearts displayed jumps up to 4! We've found the correct location after all! Now every time you play Addams Family you'll have infinite lives and health. Have fun finding cheats for other games.
