I suspect I might know what the issue is in "finding what writes to this address". A lot of the codes I'm finding are on "byte" and I don't have Big Endian "Byte" value type. I got 2 byte, 4 byte, floating, and double for Big Endian.

If anyone has the Big Endian "byte" value type, please share.

The reason I'm having trouble finding a base address is because none of the usual tools is cooperating and working as they normally should on dolphin. I think its because of all my value types not being "Big Endian", but what do I know I'm just a noob.

[quote="Turtle"]There was one Gecko code that worked for me

$blessed weap after use
283c9396 0000B83C
003c9221 00000090
E0000000 80008000

You have to add it as a gecko code.

If all else fails you will have to do what I did.

First use the dolphin search to find the slot quantity, that will be your first step. Then you will have to run dolphin in debug mode by adding /d after the exe in command prompt.

In debug click on the memory view, switch it to ASCII view.

There will be 2 boxes on the top right, the first lets you GO TO the address you enter, the second box is where you enter a new value for that address.[/quote]

The problem I'm having is the game wont boot in debug mode.

You have to press play again after you load it in debug, this is cause the debugger pauses it on load.

have u tried to lock the addresses so u don't have to keep finding them over and over? i myself was having the problem on my game FF7. i keep having to find my addresses over and over every time i booted the game up but now i don't have to. if u don't know how to do this (lock the addresses) use this posting the guy in it told me how to lock the addresses.

cmon man, you had to find dolphins base adress, dark gave you an ex and i gave you mine as well...

should look something like mine i guess dolphin.exe adress base 0x00blaaa(something in decimal) is not that hard... dolhphin should even tell you in its menus.Try in help or info or something(dont even bother with loading a game just run the emulator and find its base adress)

my adress base was x00400k wich is 61A80(hex)

and the value adress i was looking for(timer),
points to:
(timer) (istruction)
57 0052ED97 - 881401 - MOV(ECX +EAX), DL

Click on int

and you ll in its adress something like:
adress Bytes opcode
ggpo.exe+12ed97 881401 MOV(ECX +EAX), DL

ok, (52ED97) - (12ed97) = 400000 (base adress, ggpo.exe)

i think this is it... maybe im wrong....

No, that is the emulator base address, you need the emulated base address.
Check the memoryregions view to find where it starts and then find a pointer to that

Turtle · Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:01 pm Post subject:

You don't need pointers, or base addresses.

The values are 95% static, that's why people have posted hundreds of codes publicly for this game.

See here: http://geckocodes.org/?c=RFEE01

The problem is that Dolphin emulator changed its built in cheat system so those codes have to be corrected now with offsets. Those codes still have the same structures in Ram but have been shifted due to the software changing.

mm it starts at 00000000
but at 10k it starts to read+write so.. find a pointer to 10k?

This is how you will have to change the values in the mem view:

The top box is the address you want to change, the second is for the new value. Blue means blessed, infinite uses. Set it to 271 or 279.

View->memoryregions
There look for the region that contains the address of a variable in the game,and tben try to find the base
Then try to find a pointer to there so you don't have to manually find it next time

This is just too much for me to comprehend. I'm content with being able to modify stuff even if I gotta search for it every time. I'm not able to understand what you guys are telling me as to how to solve this. Instead of wasting any more of your guys time, I'll just admit all this is way over my head.

If the difference between base and address is not the same between reloads then no idea. Are you sure you got the correct base address ?

Ok I found out what writes to a specific address. For example it says the value of the pointer that writes is 808926D0. I put that in search and it comes up with nothing?

Using the Dolphin debugger - I got not a clue what to do here. I search for values and addresses and its not giving me anything close to what I'm looking for. For example, I search for a value of 25 in the second box and it gives me a random address with a value of 00000000 or whatever - completely wrong. Also if I search in dolphin debugger for an address that Cheat engine tells me has a value of 35, it says its 0000000 for the value? This is why I'm totally freaking confused here.
