Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2, NTSC-J)

[daisensou]

Hello.

I've been looking for a code to refill the HP in battle and I've had some partial success on it, by using PCSX2 and Cheat Engine 5.5. But the problem is, the real address that keeps the current HP in battle isn't static, so every new battle makes the current code obsolete.

Using Google to find an answer, I stumbled on GSHI stash of codes here and this code for the PAL or US version of the game:

ARMAX
"[B]Y.R.P: Infinite HP (In Battle)[/B]"

200FFF20 03E00008
200FFF24 27BD0010
2022915C 0C03FFC0

Seems like it does what I'm after, but there's a problem... Even though I found that difference between addresses in the NTSC-J and this version of the game is equal to 28430 (hex, add that value to the NTSC-J address and you get the PAL\US), I can't really apply that to this batch of codes because I can't understand that code at all.

There's a similar code on CodeTwink, but the situation remains the same.

Could someone explain this code to me? Thanks in advance.

because this code a subroutine.

I did an quick port to Japanese version

Please test code

Thanks for your help lee4!

Whatever you did, it made the code "work"! It really does lock the displayed HP at 9999, but it doesn't affect your real HP at all (you'll still die a horrible death). Looking at the changes you did, I applied it to the MP code and got the same effect.

MP code set to 999 instead of 9999, with changes applied following the port you did to the HP code.

+The good thing is that the real battle HP\MP address seems to be static now (I think... it's been 7 consecutive battles and none of the girls died once, even though the Mega Tonberi is dealing 30000 of damage in each attack! And the game haven't locked up yet with the fixed values at those addresses. Hooray!)

The static in-battle addresses:

Set to [B]62000[/B] (highest value I can set without any drawbacks when changing dresspheres, higher than that and the HP will go down to critical levels)
00FFBE30 Yuna in-battle HP
00FFD270 Rikku in-battle HP
00FFE6B0 Paine in-battle HP

Set to [B]999[/B]
00FFBE34 Yuna in-battle MP
00FFD274 Rikku in-battle MP
00FFE6B4 Paine in-battle MP

-The bad thing is... this batch of codes seems to have some really weird side effects that cripples the game pretty badly:

- Each attack (from you or the enemy) seems to inflict Darkness, Poison and sometimes Confusion (extremely funny, because it also affects some bosses on the last dungeon ^_^)
- Your attacks will most of the time, cast Shell or Protect along with it, making it deal only 1 of damage
- Sometimes your characters will have a -10 to your status (attack and defenses lowered)

Oh well, with all those side effects, I guess I'll not be able to make an "Instant Potion\Ether" code afterall :\

Wow, this was totally random... So, I tried using the "Battle Event Debug Menu" code from the GSHI stash, but since trying to subtract the hex28430 from it didn't really match the Joker address of the NTSC-J version, I simply used it directly.

ARMAX
4QMJ-HXRG-RC99H
CY34-XCUW-TYGUF
E6M1-79YN-ZR0C4
82JV-TE00-RCJWU

20130F28 24100010
D05B29C2 0000FFFE
20130F28 0080802D

It worked! Not to enable the debug menu, but to keep the real battle HP\MP from moving around!
Further tests proved that only the first two lines of the debug code was needed, so taking the static addresses I posted earlier and pairing it up with a Joker Command (in this case R3) gave me the instant HP\MP refill I was looking for!

D05B29C2 0000FFED
20130F28 24100010  >> First 2 lines of the debug code, just changed it to another Joker Command (Up+L3)

20FFD274 000003E7
20FFE6B4 000003E7 >> static HP\MP addresses paired with Joker Command R3

Now, this seems to be a flexible code with no side effects. I'll keep testing it to see if it ends locking up the game and I'll post an update tomorrow.

EDIT:

Aww rats... the "static code" isn't really static, it's just specific to some areas

The tests were being made on the 81th floor of the Bevelle dungeon:

- Sometimes it works on the other floors or just in some parts of those floors (81th and beyond).
- On the areas that the code work, it'll always works.
- The game eventually became stuck into the battle result screen

Oh, well. It was fun looking into it.

there are more codes here however they are in Action replay version 1 format

Thanks! Those seems to be the same codes I got from jp.wazap.com and ~dram
