note that alot of unlock codes are
00 = Closed
01 = open ..

Sometimes it might Stack them Bitwize

00 - Nothing
01 - Item
02 - item 1
04 - Item 2
08 - Item 3
and then if u have them all unlocked it be 0F

but you aren´t refering to the video, right?
Have I found something which is possible to use with assembly?
Setting any value didn´t work.

THe address u seem to find are kinda like a menu option there just showing the one your pointing at u could try changing the 0008 part to something higher and it might alow u to point at the next unlocker or something .. on address 804811C8
Lol, I set the last byte to 9 and i could go to the next icon in the list, but the bar was empty.
As I used this to play, it still gave me an old track, not one which would be normally there.
(I got the same track for number 10, 11 etc.) There are some more, I just didn´t unlock them because i am too lazy to do all the stuff. :-[

I can´t work with savegame mods since the game has 3,5 MB savegames and there are NO zero zones...
a lot is stored in the save, I also know why. can´t change this easily... (maybe with deleting all accounts and then comparing the empty save with my actual save and then with a perfect save from wiisave.com)
:rolleyes:

if your using the wiis normal save move function then the files are encryped .. if ur able to use Homebrew then use Save Manager GX this will alow u to pull the save unencrypted .. u might get lucky .. and it might spit out more then 1 file .. individuals for each Save u have in game im thinking is what i will give u . :)

This is an old topic but I figured I'd throw my 2 cents in. From my experiences from hacking these type  of codes its best to have a save with nothing unlocked and a save with a few things unlocked for easier comparing once you find a suitable area of ram to watch. I normally assume 2 possible setups for these unlockable either they are a 0 for locked and 1 for unlocked (althou there are times the unlock value is something different) and the stacking like Skiller mentioned hence you see codes with many FFFF for the value.

So this is my general setup, I always do 32bit search because you can cover both methods previously mentioned by Skiller and myself, this is my logic behind it: many codes that use the 0 and 1 method generally have them side by side like so 01010101 (wow 32bits) or if they use the stack method are generally at least 16bit or more.

So do an initial search then unlock something and do a greater then search, after some results do equal to many times in various screens and menus to get the results down. Now try to unlock something else in sequence like if its a race game unlock the next track, most games that use the 0 and 1 method will have the unlockables right near each other and we will likely catch it in our 32bit value search and with the stacking method it might just increase the value and it still falls in our search parameters. Do another unlock and repeat, by now you should have a somewhat manageable list and scroll through the results to get an idea of what methods the game uses and start poking, you could also load the save with nothing unlocked and do some less then searches and also look through the memory viewer.

Hope this helps you or anyone looking to do these codes, not all games use this method but most do.

it´s still unhandly but thx for your help.
It seems to be a good way though.
