What to do when Pointer Search yields no result, and Breakpoint cause problems?

[g6flavor]

This is for Takt of Magic (J)

I'm trying to do a HP code for Takt of Magic (J), but a Pointer search (no results), Pointer in Pointer (no results), Allow Negative (P or PinP no results) and doing a Breakpoint, nopping the address (8076A48C 60000000) will give both Player and Enemy infinite HP.

When I did a Breakpoint on the Player HP address, I got these results:

8076A48C B003019A sth r0,410 (r3)
8076A490 40800030 bge- 0x8076A4C0
8076A494 54A002D7 rlwinm r0,r5,0,11,11
8076A498 A00301A2 lhz r0,418 (r3)
8076A49C 60000002 ori r0,r0,2

Anybody know what else I could do to get Infinite HP for Player only?

You could try to make an ASM code that checks whose health is updated.

Set an execute breakpoint on 8076A48C and check if a register has the value 0 or 1, then set an execute breakpoint again and check if the register with 0 changed to 1, or 1 to 0. (this is not necessarily 1/0, it could also have another values)
Double check if that register is the one you need.
Then you need to make an ASM code that check if the register is (player value) and skip the next line if it is, if it is (enemy value) then it should update the health (with sth r0,410 (r3))

OK, i had the same problem with Punch-Out!!
I found out that a couple of addresses before the health was always the same (it was some ASCII stuff, it said: blabla..LittleMac...blabla, so I used that as a check if it really was the player.
so this is what i did:

Code Select Expand

register 20-27 were safe to use so i used r21 and r25
the original instruction was: lfs f2,16(r3)

lis r25,0x746C //first i load a part of the ASCII text in memory
ori r25,r25,0x654D //these 2 lines load "tleM" in to the register
lwz r21,-344(r3)  //this is where the ASCII text is supposed to be in memory (if it is updating the player health)
cmpw r21,r25  //comparison to check if it really is the player
bne +0xC  //go to the end if it isn't
lis r25,0x4040  //load the value I want to write
stw r25,16(r3)  //write the value to the health address
stw r25,20(r3)  //another health address
lfs f2,16(r3)  //the original instruction

I hope you understand what i did :p im not that good at explaining
