Final Fantasy 3 NES Save State Hacking Guide by: EmeraldThunder21 Contact: Evolutionrise@hotmail.com or my AIM Screen Name (EmeraldThunder21) --Intro-- 1. An NES Emulator with Save State capabilities 2. A Hex Editor, which you can download a free demo of at www.bpsoft.com. There is also some free, full-version hex editor at http://www.filelibrary.com/Contents/Windows/123/7.html (try HView or hexworks but they don't have as many feature HexWorkshop 3. Some idea of how to hex edit because im not very good at explaining... But I guess I'll give it a shot for any beginners out there. When you open your Saved State File it'll probably be set up something like this, depending on which editor you're using. Example: 00000000 | #### #### #### #### #### #### 3E## #### | ................ 00000010 | #### #### E0## #### #### #### #### #### | ................ 00000020 | #### #### #### #### FF## #### #### #### | ................ 00000030 | #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### | ................ Each pair of ## represents ONE offset, going from 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-A-B-C-D-E-F. 00000000 | 0001 0203 0405 0607 0809 0A0B 0C0D 0E0F | ................ The value 3E represents the offset position 0C, E0 would be in position 14, FF would be 28, and so on. Also, somewhere down near the bottom of the offset's list it shows the actual offset itself so you don't have to count from the beginning of the row. Thats about all you need to know to use this guide. If you're still having problems (which I'm sure many newcomers would after reading this garbage) then contact me and occasionally if someone sends me an email with their Save State file attached, and specifications for what they want, I'll edit the hex myself. NOTE: When changing a character's status, open their job selection screen and then cancel for it to work, and if you change your job the status will return to normal. Also, For Level and Skill Level the max value is 62. -First Character Offsets- Level 101 Job 100 Max HP 10E,10F Current HP 10C,10D L1 Max MP 130 L1 Current MP 131 L2 Max MP 132 L2 Current MP 133 L3 Max MP 134 L3 Current MP 135 L4 Max MP 136 L4 Current MP 137 L5 Max MP 138 L5 Current MP 139 L6 Max MP 13A L6 Current MP 13B L7 Max MP 13C L7 Current MP 13D L8 Max MP 13E L8 Current MP 13F Skill Level 110 -Status- Str 112 Agl 113 Vit 114 Int 115 Spr 116 -Equipment- Right Hand 203 Right Hand Quantity 204 (01 unless the character is holding arrows, then 01 to 14 (20 decimal) ) Left Hand 205 Left Hand Quantity 206 (Same as Right Hand Quantity) Head 200 Body 201 Ring / Hand 202 -Second Character Offsets- Level 141 Job 140 Max HP 14E,14F Current HP 14C,14D L1 Max MP 170 L1 Current MP 171 L2 Max MP 172 L2 Current MP 173 L3 Max MP 174 L3 Current MP 175 L4 Max MP 176 L4 Current MP 177 L5 Max MP 178 L5 Current MP 179 L6 Max MP 17A L6 Current MP 17B L7 Max MP 17C L7 Current MP 17D L8 Max MP 17E L8 Current MP 17F Skill Level 150 -Status- Str 152 Agl 153 Vit 154 Int 155 Spr 156 -Equipment- Right Hand 243 Right Hand Quantity 244 Left Hand 245 Left Hand Quantity 246 Head 240 Body 241 Ring / Hand 242 -Third Character Offsets- Level 181 Job 180 Max HP 18E,18F Current HP 18C,18D L1 Max MP 1B0 L1 Current MP 1B1 L2 Max MP 1B2 L2 Current MP 1B3 L3 Max MP 1B4 L3 Current MP 1B5 L4 Max MP 1B6 L4 Current MP 1B7 L5 Max MP 1B8 L5 Current MP 1B9 L6 Max MP 1BA L6 Current MP 1BB L7 Max MP 1BC L7 Current MP 1BD L8 Max MP 1BE L8 Current MP 1BF Skill Level 190 -Status- Str 192 Agl 193 Vit 194 Int 195 Spr 196 -Equipment- Right Hand 283 Right Hand Quantity 284 Left Hand 285 Left Hand Quantity 286 Head 280 Body 281 Ring / Hand 282 -Fourth Character Offsets- Level 1C1 Job 1C0 Max HP 1CE,1CF Current HP 1CC,1CD L1 Max MP 1F0 L1 Current MP 1F1 L2 Max MP 1F2 L2 Current MP 1F3 L3 Max MP 1F4 L3 Current MP 1F5 L4 Max MP 1F6 L4 Current MP 1F7 L5 Max MP 1F8 L5 Current MP 1F9 L6 Max MP 1FA L6 Current MP 1FB L7 Max MP 1FC L7 Current MP 1FD L8 Max MP 1FE L8 Current MP 1FF Skill Level 1D0 -Status- Str 1D2 Agl 1D3 Vit 1D4 Int 1D5 Spr 1D6 -Equipment- Right Hand 2C3 Right Hand Quantity 2C4 Left Hand 2C5 Left Hand Quantity 2C6 Head 2C0 Body 2C1 Ring / Hand 2C2 -Job Values- 00 Onion Kid 01 Fighter 02 Monk 03 White Wizard 04 Black Wizard 05 Red Wizard 06 Hunter 07 Knight 08 Thief 09 Scholar 0A Geomancer 0B Dragoon 0C Viking 0D Karateka 0E M.
