You have a timer address (which you want to nop or manipulate in some way, I assume?). You found that address by searching or some other way. If that timer address is in your cheat table, just right-click on it to see which instructions access it. When you do that, a new window will pop up, showing you which opcodes are accessing that address.

In the new window, right-click on an empty, white space and select the option that lets you see whether or not the selected opcodes access other addresses. When you do that, you should see new numbers populate, that will be inside brackets, in the 'count' column. The new numbers, if shown, will be between 1 and 8. If any of the opcodes show a (1) in the count column, and it doesn't increase (even when you return to the game and play around - if possible), then any of those opcodes (if any) can be used for your filter. If all of the opcodes show a number greater than (1), then you will have to find a workable filter by some other means, as already described above.

I know you've already taken some of these steps...and I know what the images were in your previous posts...no need to point that out.

The count in (brackets) can not be ( 18 ).

Regarding your previous pictures...those pertain to instructions that are 'writing' to your timer address...not 'accessing'. You need to check which instructions are 'accessing'.

Only one image is needed. You must adjust your 'count' column so that all data is visible.

I don't know why the image doesn't show the count, but the top one is 2271 and the bottom is 3041

Are you messing with me?

No, I wouldn't think of that; asking for help as I am.
If you look at the address being accessed, it is wrong. The address of the timer is 0x06E0FF10, with that game opening, which will change the next time the game is started.

psxfin is an emulator.From my experienced creating ct for emulator, many of the address are shared code which means that an instruction processing many address. It would be hard to create the table using script only because changing an instruction for an address will change all address that being accesed by that instruction. You have to either isolate the address by comparing the unique value for that address or trace that variable until you found the instruction that only accesed that address.

Judging from that image that you had posted,06E0FF10 is the address,8008B0E4 is the value for the address, 1FFEF0 and 06C10020 can be both offset or base. Well, if I'm you ,I'm just going to trace that address manually.

The objective is to freeze the address, wherever the software places it in memory. There is a recalculation code that adjusts all the addresses after the game is started.

bknight2602-
The image that I posted was just an example. The address shown is not related to your target. Please read over the thread again so that we do not have to keep doing this back-and-forth and never getting anywhere.

As a side note, I agree with Cake-san regarding ps2 emulators...they can be a pain to work with for obvious reasons.

I see no back and forth, we were looking at the opcodes address the specific address, now what?

++METHOS · Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2016 12:39 pm Post subject:

You are not following my instructions. Even still, you have not checked to see if the opcodes that the debugger generates are accessing other addresses. I see the count number in your pictures, but I need to see the number of addresses being accessed (the numbers inside of the parenthesis). As I said, you have to right-click on an empty, white space inside of that window and select the option that will show you if the selected opcodes are accessing other addresses. If you do that, but still do not see everything, as depicted in the image that I posted, then you need to manually adjust the 'count' column so that all of the data is visible.

I did exactly as you asked and posted a image of a right mouse clicked(Max of 8 ), although I can't show you but here is todays version, there is a check mark on Check if found opcodes access...) There are no parentheses to check numbers inside.

ETA: Found a way to add image.

ETD 2: after expanding the column there are numbers in parentheses ( 8 )
to both of them.
Sorry for my not being familiar with the window. See new image
