I want to find the required amount of EXP to level up.

For this I did the following:
- Start a new game
- Get Ryu and go on the first random battle map

Ryu starts with 0 of total EXP, which leaves the "next" exp on 10. I saved the state and had a fight. By the value change of the "total" exp I could find the address. The problem is the "next" EXP, I can't find it when it changes. I guess it is not stored, just displayed after being applied on some formula.

I am trying to find out what this formula is, I guess if I find out I might find the graph of each character EXP, that's my goal.

I'm running Breath of Fire IV US version on ePSXe 1.7.

The relevant address I found (Ryu on slot01):

Check out what codes are accessing to Your EXP when You get some EXP. Maybe You will find a cmp instruction in the codes (as it has to compare the exp to the exp limit for sure).

On the status window it constantly updates. I can get 4 different places that access the exp. I tried to place some breakpoints with no luck. It seems my breakpoints fall in a generic method, I saw even float values over there. (The exp is a 4byte for sure)

Check out the codes which are reading the exp and find out what is the program doing with the value. It has to compare the value at some point.
