Basic Code Hacking [Guide]

[Smacktalks]

We make this Guide for you for getting a better feeling to hack Codes. So we take many examples how we hacked Codes (mostly with Labels).

In-Game Options

Turning Off and On

In-Game Options

Code might be pointless, but they are there especially if you have

parents who wont buy you games with blood or violence.

IF not, then this will help you build your confidence to look at

labels or symbols more carefully.

Game: Max Payne 2

"AutoAim Toggle"

005b8c70 6f747541 .byte

Jump it

002625d0 24a58c70 addiu a1, a1, $8c70 ("AutoAim Toggle")

Inf Health

*Special Enemgy attacks can do damage though, the rest go right through you.

Weapon/ Item Manipulating

Weapon/ Item Manipulating (.word)

First of all, NOT all games would have codes like these! They take alot of searching if you never played the game. I suggest you play the game for some time until you feel comfortable that you know what you want to look for. You can use this to get weapons or change the attributes of some weapons/items in some games. This is very usefully when building your Item/Weapon Mod. values

Game: Legacy of Kain- Defiance

Jump to the address 0026feec which is Kain's Reaver

0026feec 0028d3c0 .word ("Kain's Reavers")

0026fef0 001317b0 .word $001317b0 (__001317b0)

the 2nd lines data/value is the value for the reaver

Always Have Kain's Reaver

2026FEEC 001317B0

Since this is his default weapon it would be the best address to use. So we have

Kain's Reaver Modifier

2026FEEC xxxxxxxx

**Raziel's Reaver Modifier

2026FED4 xxxxxxxx

look below and you show see ("Spectral Reaver") and the line below it with the data/value 00131810

so now we have

001317B0 Kain's Reaver

00131810 Spectral Reaver

go through the rest of the area and get the Reaver values..

You should have a list like this

00131790 Raziel's Reaver

001317B0 Kain's Reaver

001317D0 Material

001317F0 Blood

00131810 Spectral

00131830 Dark

00131850 Light

00131870 Air

00131890 Fire

001318B0 Water

001318D0 Earth

001318F0 Spirit

00131990 Sprit Kain

00131970 Dimension pillar

00131910 Conflict pillar

00131930 Time pillar

00131950 Energy pillar

NOTE!!!

YOU DO NOT WANT HAVE TWO (2) OF THESE CODES ON AT THE SAME TIME. IT WILL FREEZE YOUR GAME.

The best thing for you to do is Joker the values

Example-

Kain's Reaver Modifier

D.......0000????
