Posted on 01-23-16 12:48:32 PM, in Converting Cheat Engine to Gameshark [and vice versa]

Link

So I'm playing around with Cheat Engine at the moment and seeing what I can change in Kirby 64.
I'm trying to figure out if there is an easy way to work out the Gameshark address based on the Cheat Engine address and vice versa.

So for example I know that a Gameshark code to change kirby's ability to double fire is:

Gameshark: 8012E853 0008

where "12E853" is the memory address and "0008" is the ability number.

I have found that this changes this cheat engine address appropriately:

Cheat Engine: 3756E850 0008

So in theory if I find the difference between the Cheat Engine address and the Gameshark address, I should be able to apply that to convert other addresses.

So in this case,

Cheat Engine Address - Gameshark Address 

= 3756E850 - 12E853

= 3743FFFD (let's call this the Hex Difference)

Using this logic, I've wanted to find the address where current health is stored by going backwards from the infinite health Gameshark code I have. To find the Cheat Engine address, I have gone

 Gameshark Address + Hex Difference

= 0D6E50 + 3743FFFD

= 37516E4D

My question is: if I ultimately want to find and create new Gameshark codes, is this the right way of going about it? Doing things this way is giving me mixed results at the moment..

Cheers guys

ps. if there is a proper name for the hex difference, let me know
