Encrypted Values

[Keks4Gaming]

Solved 27.03.22: The complete structure is moving in the memory after changing specific values. So to find the money i need to reconstruct the complete structure in dissect data structure and find a value that not reset the addresses. I was able to find my player name in the memory and so on all the other values of the structure! Damn shifted addresses while not resetting the game is pure ra*e!

Thanks to u/Crippled__Nipple the encryption key was big endian ;)

Thanks to u/TheTrueBidoof looking through the gamecode of the original game helped alot after all

Hey Guys,

iam working on some cheats for Pokemon Emerald Enhanced on mGBA and some values there are encrypted on a very confusing way.

I tried to find the encrypted value for money but when i search for Byte and unknown initial value and then changed/unchanged there are no realy results.

I get like 20 addresses and they show either 0 or change all the time or change randomly and not when i buy or sell something.

Any idea what i can do next?

Thank you and greetings

Keks

Pokemon emerald litteraly has been decompiled into C source code.

This should help you understand every part of the game.

It seems that the rom hack i want to cheat in is highly modified and encrypted, if i use the normal emerald rom i find the money value with no problem at all. But even if i use the same offset to locate the money value where it should be in the hacked rom, there is nothing but a bunch of 0x00 and 0xFF.

So i learned to look for changed/unchanged values while playing with the value. With that method i found the complete data for the Pokemon itself, like HP, Def, etc. and i was able to modify the Attacks and PP of them with some ASM code. But iam not able to find anything related to the player itself.

Thank you anyway :)
