yes please post the dumps.

picture is memory card take in hex editor?

or ce memory editor?

I'm not sure if this exact memory region is, what I mean is if you open a gci of this exact save you will see that exact data, profile name and cash a little bit underneath it. However I can't find it in either one of the two dumps, RAM or ARAM.

can I have your save too?

ya, I cant find anything too

Apparently there is some RAM somewhere that Dolphin can't dump, other than that I don't know. Thanks anyway lee.

I think I found it

please test

here your save

I don't know how you did it but the cash code works. Sadly the car list code does not work.

Also they, even individually lock the game up when going to quick race. But you can still save your profile with the cash code on and keep it, it doesn't require a specific profile either.

Amazing work all in all, if I may ask how DID you find the cash code? I'd basically given up on pointers for this game.

Was it (the data) scrambled? Anyway, thanks for all the hard work.

[lee4]

no, was not in user's memory which why we could not find anything

your picture / save was helpful.

the pointer's initial address is huge. try researching for the pointers with a larger radius. try out any of the pointer codes having a small initial address and a larger offset.
ba+8fd4d4 does not look very common to me. most of my pointer addresses are smaller than ba+2XXXXX.
idk if a smaller initial address would solve the problem. but you could give it a try.

oh, and for the gecko code type i recommand you to use E0000000 80008000 instead of E2000001 80008000. I experienced that the E2000001 80008000-termination didnt terminate if-conditions.

Not sure what you mean by "larger radius" but I already made an ASM version that works.

Thanks anyway for trying to help though. When you are on the "my cars/add cars" screen the value is EEEEEEEE, then when you go to the car list it changes 000F0001. If you want you could try it yourself as I'm assuming you have Carbon from one of your posts on YouTube.

I don't know what pointer searcher you are using. But in the case of GCNPCC you can edit following settings:

The "max offset radius" will search for pointer offsets being equal or less than this value.
Here's a code i have recently made: 4017aa60 66c7f011
small initial addres (and a greater offset).

I use both GCNPPC and pointer search v4. Only time I need the pointer search v4 is when hacking Wii games though.
