Cheat Engine

I'm trying to create a cheat table for Breathe of Fire III on PCSXR. I found a thread but it doesn't really help.

The address changes each time I reload the emulator. I managed to find a work around by putting a piece of the address then offsetting it by a value I find in a register.

Ex.

Item Quantity Modifier Slot 1: 0014524C --> That's the address in the game, without taking into consideration what PCSXR does.

What I have to do is put in 0000524C on the table, then offset this by a value in a register. How I find the value of the register, is I edit the quantity of items in slot 1 to find the address, then attach a debugger and look at the values of the register at that address.

I know I can use gameshark codes, but I really want to make a table.

Do I need to find an address that has the value that PCSXR is offsetting the game memory by? If so, it's weird in that, for example, the item quantity value for slot 1 is stored in 0014524C in the games memory, however looking at how PCSXR handles the address is always 0000524C + a value in a register such as, 00BE0000.

EDIT:

For prosterity, in case finds this and wants to make their own cheat tables for PCSXR.

Do a google search for "Cheat Engine & pSX v1.13" and you'll come upon oldgamehacking and from there, there is a tutorial on how to find the values of L2 and R2 while they are being pressed down. And from there you can see which values you need to offset the address. If someone is really trying to do this, post questions below and I'll try to answer, but if someone understands to this point, they can figure it out.

There is a different using CE and other Memory Scanners. I suggest you use Memory Scanner only for PSX.

Is that an Emulator? Find a plugin with Memory Scanner.

PSX Users use Gameshark or Game Genie Mermory Scanners. Try that.

Use google to find Gameshark codes for Breath of Fire.

Thanks for the heads up, I pretty much know what's going on. I'm just exploring trying to figure how to different stuff with cheat engine and emulators. Like my next idea is how to make cheat engine do a proper infinite health codes, that is, like look in the memory for current HP for example and then make that the value for the HP. Instead of just setting it to some high value, I want it to be elegant. Lol
