PMD Sky Action Replay Code Bug

Post by Alwayssnarky » Fri Sep 04, 2015 1:21 pm

I am attempting to use the action replay code to change my leader and partner pokemon, but doing so causes their stat gains to be reduced to lower than they should be. Tested by using the code to change to a different starter pokemon, gains drop from 3 HP, 2 the rest to 2 hp, 1 the rest. Is there any way I can fix/get around this? Thanks!

The problem with cheat codes is they change the values in memory. Now if everyone is usimg the exact same piece of software ie the PMD cart from the US and on the same hardware more or less, then the values changed should react the same way. The bigger issues come in when you add in roms where some of the memory locations might have been changed due to trimming or even durring the ripping process itself. An emulator is generally good at getting the came to still work but cheat codes are far more particular.

I really loved cwcheat for the psp mainly because it had a way to search the memory values itself. Unfortunately drastic and the PAR the cheat system is built on does not have that functionality.
