Star Ocean Snes [Request]

[patuli]

It's a great game, don't get me wrong, but i'm to the point of throwing the cart out of the window.
the reason for me going nuts, is that when making anything even with the right talents, I always fail!
the succeed rate is so low, is ridiculous.
So I want to know if someone can make a code to succeed in item creation 100% of the time
and if someone is at it, a code to learn the talents by normal means 100% of the time (using the violin 2 song and using the item creation)
So yeah that's it, I really hope someone can help me, and help others playing this awesome game for the snes on real cart.
Anyway thanks for reading this!

How far along in the game must you be to be able to do all that item creation? Most of us don't have a ton of time to invest in an RPG just to get where you can craft items.

If you can get a save file of where you can make items the things will be easier to make.

[patuli]

I have a save file in sd2snes and have the game on real cart,I can provide the sd2snes file.
To do item creation, go to items press X and try item creation (making weapons, customize and alchemy always fail) making food seems to succed around 80% of the time so that's a start point to look around.
To learn talents you just use the special menu (select violin 2) and go to item creation and use (milly in my file do art)
It's the only one that's missing talent and I have spend over 180 hours in to the game, even learn the hardest ones (sense of danger and love of animals, in game you learn them in a different way.
Also I read that you made a code to have experience x4 and x16 in TOP, so i was wandering (since the game is made also by wolf team)if the same can be made in star ocean, you see once you reach level 180 it's imposible to level up even fighting gabriel celeste 20 times in a row.

So here's my file, and thanks for the quick response!

@patuli, only to tell it's not allowed to upload ROMs here unfortunately, it's better to remove your attachment and @Helder himself to get the game ROM instead and he try to make codes for your request, otherwise you might get BAN...

[patuli]

Is not a rom is a .srm file (the battery save file) of the game
also I uploaded the Japanese one not the english one, so here's the english one

Sorry then...

[Helder]

Well made one code so far, if there are ever any problems tell me which of the crafting gave a bad item. I've tested it on just about everything numerous times and it all works.

Item Creation Never Fails
DDD7-5D43
6D34-8F9D
6D38-EDBD
6D34-842F
6D30-77F4
6D3C-5724
6D3B-84B4
6D4C-5434

After giving the codes a try, most items now really improved the success rate.(art fails sometime in the duplication of the +1 or +2 weapons,and authoring sometime fail, when creating forgins books, but not as bad as before)
There's only one problem I noted, the craftings(smithing) of the best weapons still fail a lot for example after creating the +1 weapon or + 2 weapons and using that weapon to forge the best weapons always fail (Dull sword)
crafting,cooking,compounding,customize and alchemy no problem at all works 100% of the time,(Identify always works in game)
Thank you so much for this!

PD:Now there's something I forgot to mention, when I was trying to create a 100% talent adquisition,
I noticed that using violin 1 gives a 10 increment in talent adquisition and the violin 2 in 50, however changing that values to 100, 1000, or 10000
does nothing, just wanted to share that.

Fixed the Item creation code and all works now, and in case you or anyone wants a breakdown of what line is for what here it is:

Random Item Counter Killer (Must Be On)
DDD7-5D43

Crafting
6D34-8F9D

Cooking
6D38-EDBD

Customize
6D34-842F

Authoring
6D30-77F4

Alchemy
6D3C-5724

Smithing
6D3B-84B4

Art
6D4C-5434


Item creations is a twofold process and that first line basically goes through 01h to 38h and the specific routine of the different crafts use that number to determine if the item is a junk item or not.

That line can enable you to get the items you want most times but the other lines that are specific to each crafting also play a part and if that item counter is not initiated it can deal out junk, so combining both will give you 100% item creation all the time.


Oddly using Milly she makes nothing when using the codes or maybe without using the codes too, Explain to me in detail the Talents so I can have a look into it.

[patuli]

Thanks now all works like charm!, that code is way beyond ,what I could have done, I really appreciated what you have done!

I was wondering something and sorry if is to much for ask, but if you could take a look at the codes
"Accessories Won't Break, and Infinite Accessory Use During Battle" and "Accessories Won't Break"
Most of the times the codes won't work, tried only 1 at the time because the sd2snes limitation of 5 codes max.
I don't know if is because, im using the dejap translation or because of the flashcart, but anyway thanks for all your help!

[Helder]

Why not use the codes to patch the rom? this way codes can be on all the time without the limit of 5.

Here is another of your requests:

Exp Multiplier X8
DD12-E4D5
DC12-E405
DC12-E465
DC12-E4A5

[patuli]

You know what, I didn't know you can do that, I Just found out the utility gamegenie guy!
I'm going to give it a try, the x8 exp is working, the max lvl of the game is 255 now. is going to be easy to reach it.
thank you very much!

pd:I'm figthing gabriel celeste(special ,music, perform,clarinet 2), the enemy that you need to fight in order to reach lvl 255, the guy instead of 30900exp
is giving 50992 least than double, on normal enemies is working like charm, I was fightng some enemies that give 900exp and now they give 9600exp, so maybe there's a cap on how much exp you can get.
Also the accesory code and item breaking code is working, so it was a flashcart restriction after all.

[Helder]

The game has 2 checks for exp and I can't remember the max you can get per battle but I believe it's 32767 for 1 of the checks. If you want to be max level then that can be easily done. How do you fight anyone on your saves? I've walked everywhere and not a single fight.

[patuli]

I was tired of the random battles and set the scout orb to "run from monsters"
In the Special menu, is a menu called scout orb and it haves 3 flags: "do nothing" "Hunt for monsters" and "run from monsters"
also one of the chars in your active party has to have the talent "Sixth Sense" in order for scout orb to work.
I have every char with sixth sense at the moment of recruitment, because is almost imposible to learn by normal means.
(play violin 2, change scout orb, if it does nothing fight a monsters and try again, also I read 9 years ago that you must walk 2 screen after your last attempt)
so yeah, that talent and love for animals(play violin 2, use familiar, call a pidgeon on the world map, if it fails walk two screens and try again)
those two are impossible to learn by normal means.
