Hey everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well and I would like to thank you all for all of your assistance in advance.

I know the program itself basically, but I have (for the first time) problems with the program in the game Pokemon Crystal - GBA. I use the program to "LVL UP" my Pokemon and as far as I know, the matter is quite simple: New Scan - Enter the number of EXP you gain as first scan, fight with another Pokemon, that will provide you with a different value and use it as a next scan, then simply change the value and instead of 31 EXP you will get 300 EXP. But it doesn't seem to work anymore. I've read a couple of posts and I've changed "Value Type" to just a Byte, or else it wouldn't find anything but now I'm having issues with value setting. When it actually finds me some values, it won't let me change the "Value" to 1000 I am attaching a couple of SS.

Kind regards,

1 byte of memory is a value between 0 and 255 inclusive. The number 1000 can't be represented as a single byte.

Hey,

thank you for your reply.

It worked perfectly on previous versions of Cheat Engine. Because the amount of EXP you get is calculated in the end and before it is "added" you need to "confirm" it by pressing an "A" button to continue. So you simply just changed it in CE and instead of, for example, 31 EXP you gained 1000 EXP.

But for some reason it is not working anymore.

1-byte values have never been able to store the value 1000.

Maybe try 2-byte or 2-byte big endian instead.

Thank you again for your time and help.

That's just a thing. In previous versions, I never had to change anything. Just make a fist scan and then a second one and it worked.

I am truly sorry, but would it be possible to provide me with additional assistance in what or how should I be doing a scan?

Maybe you were using a different emulator that used little endian. Maybe you misremember. I don't know what else to say other than it clearly doesn't work the way you think it did.

Enable the big endian custom types in Edit -> Settings -> Extra custom types
("Edit" refers to the text that says "Edit" at the top of the main CE window)

If you need a video walkthrough of how to click the "Value type" box to change value types, try looking up a video walkthrough of step 4 of the CE tutorial. Instead of changing it to "Float" or "Double", you should select the 2-byte big endian type.

I am interested in this as well, would you kindly post an update after the extra custom types edit?

if this is allowed, would you kindly share the CT?
