need help

I was trying to make a code that hasnt been made yet to show people that I really can make new original codes. So i was looking around at games that have no codes made for them. I found that The Price is Right has no codes made for it yet, so I figured I would make a simple code for that game that makes you always have 999,999,999 money.

I found the BA that stores the money value, and poked it with 999,999,999 (the 16 bit hex value of course) and it works like a charm. My money immediately goes strait to 999,999,999. I saved this BA in the GCT Codes tab, and also saved it as Pointer 1, and took a RAM dump, just incase this value uses a pointer.

I quit that game and started up a new game, and found the money value again. But, it was literally the exact same memory address as the first time. So being a noob, that tells me that this value does not require the use of a PO, since the BA was the same twice in a row. I poked it again, and ofcourse, it went strait to 999,999,999.

So i go to the GCT Codes tab, and change the first two numbers to '04' since this would be a 16 bit RAM write (or atleast thats what I thought) but when I apply the code, and quit this game, and begin a new game, it doesn't work. I start off with 0 money. I can still poke the exact same BA and set it to whatever I want, the BA remains constant every time. But for some reason the code is not setting the money to 999,999,999 when i begin a new game.

Here is the code I have, that is not working right now:

04635424 3B9AC9FF

04 being the code type, 635424 being the BA, and 0x3B9AC9FF = 999,999,999 base 10.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong or a different approach that will make this code work?

Thanks guys!

It could be that your address is actually 81635424..
In that case, you would (effectively) have to add 1 to the code type (because the address is >= 81000000)

So you'd get: 05635424 3B9AC9FF
