A: Searching for an unknown value is quite different from searching for a known value.
This example will be performed with Sony's Greatest Hits: SoulBlade title by Namco.
We will look for Player 1's Health Meter. Enter the game and again make sure the In
Game Menu code option is set to 'Codes are ON.'
Next, select Unknown Value Search from the Code Generator menu. Select which of the
9 areas of memory to start searching
Note: Even though most GameShark Pro codes can be found in one of the first 3 areas of
memory, that is not the case with the SoulBlade health code; please set the search to area
Four. After, selecting the area, select Start. After the GameShark Pro has read the
memory, return to the game.
Allow your character to lose some of his/her health. Now, make a "Less Than Last"
Search because the character's health meter has gone down; therefore the value of the
health bar has dropped.
• Hacking Tip: Occasionally, the inverse is true; i.e. as the health meter drops the
value is actually increasing. This occurs very rarely on only a few games.
Return to the game and repeat the above step, allowing some more of your health to go
down. If your character is killed during the round, at the start of the next round, perform
a "Greater Than Last" search after his/her health is restored to full.
• Hacking Tip: After you have taken a few searches, take a reading at the start of a
round, then allow your character to be killed and do an "Equal To Last". Search
at the start of the following round, as long as the health meter is full, you know
that the values are equal. This will greatly narrow down the amount of
possibilities.
Continue to search until the amount of possibilities is 10 or less.
Again, we are at the point that you need to select which code is the correct one. For
Sony's Greatest Hits: SoulBlade, the Player 1 full health code is:
800c017a 00f0
To test the code, follow the same instructions above.
Q: After I find a code, will other codes be generally in the same area?
A: Most of the time, if you have found one code, others will be in the same area. Using
the SoulBlade example above, the Player 2 health code is also in area 4 of the game
memory. This is a general rule and does not necessarily apply to every game.
Q: The code I have selected is not working. What's wrong?
