now then. on to the Instructable. please make sure you are familiar with the format of action replay codes and hexdecimal.

in part one of this you learned how to change the back 8 numbers in the code. in this you will learn simple and complex ways to edit the code. the complex way uses emulators and roms and hacking systems so only pros should really attempted complex.

you said emulators are illegal your using one

Ok, since I've been arrested for this type of stuff, listen up! Emulators, they are NOT illegal to have, run, or share (Unless the emulator is created as payware, and you didn't pay).

It is illegal to OWN A ROM..... PERIOD. There isn't any imaginary law that says "If you own the game, you may make as many copies as you like", there was a "law" sony released a while back that attempted to limit the use of music CD's once you've purchased them.... thats about as close as it gets in Northamerica, or Canada.

Microsoft also allows you to copy windows, since it isn't the disk that is special, but rather your CD key for that version of windows.

I don't know of a single game maker that allows you to make copies of their games, whether you've purchased them or not. It's part of their intellectual rights, and the rights assigned to the game. There has been a rumor for a while already that once you purchase a game, it's YOURS..... actually you just own the plastic CD it's printed on, you do not own the rights to that data, just because you paid $29.95 for it!! LOL

This is a prime example of why you don't believe everything you hear, even if you've heard it 1,000 times from 1,000 different people..... before the great explorer's of the world set out, 1,000's thought the world was flat!

wait dsman your doing this so your " robing a bank if the police aren't around"
Jul 30, 2009. 1:19 PMDJ Radio says:
Nothing like this should be illegal on the internet. Piracy rules.
Dec 29, 2009. 8:27 PMDJ Radio says:
The point of a ROM is to emulate a game system so that a certain game is playable on the system right?  And most of the time it isn't used on new games, but rather on older games, that nobody sells in stores anymore, and therefore make no money on.

dude you must smoke a lot of pot if your this paranoid, who agrees
Nov 2, 2009. 8:31 PMDJ Radio says:
Well, it should be OK if the company doesn't sell the game anymore since it's so old.  You have no other way to get the game otherwise.
Feb 15, 2010. 2:48 PMSypran says:
agreed specially if its one of the rarest games (lets say only 1,000 are made) selling it of course = illegal, but playing around with your own personal use  and the games no longer sold by the company they make no money off it anymore. I agree it should be legal.
Whats the chances that your going to stumble on an NES game that was never released, never fully completed? well demo cart is undoubtedly going to be extremely rare. probably slim to none. a rom would let you be able to play the game. and it's not liek they made money or are continuing to make this game.

and wait I found the code i needed how can I make it an action replay code? I don't need it for my emulated game, but I need it for my physical game
Dec 28, 2009. 9:15 AMcdousley says:

Jun 18, 2009. 12:38 PMIgnorantZebra says:

I will admit, I'm not an expert with the Action Replay in specific, but at the end, when you say "subtract or add 2", you would probably be better off adding/subtracting 4 in many cases. If the second half of the code is the "value", it's a 4-byte value: each pair of 2 hexadecimal digits is one byte.

0123456789AB
A_B_C_

If you entered the address of A, you'd have the value "01234567". If you only added 2, and entered the address of B, you'd have the value "456789AB". Lets say you CHANGED A to FFFFFFFF. If you then look at B, it would be "FFFF89AB", which may or may not be what you intend.

Again, though, this is assuming the Action Replay memory addressing is roughly similar to other computer memory systems. And the addressing may be reversed (IE, above, I assume A + 2 = B. It might be A - 2 = B), but I just thought I'd point it out that going by 4's may prevent memory overlapping.
Feb 3, 2009. 3:13 PMsigmazero13 says:
It very well could be that way; I'm not an expert in this particular case by any means :) Oh, and it looks like my "diagram" got messed up. The "B" is supposed to be underneath the 4, and the "C" is supposed to be underneath the "8" :)
