Hey,
So I've been using ZSNES SNES emulator for many, many years now. My brother and I have used it extensively, playing pretty well every SNES game ever. We have also used it many times to do some very fun and amusing "hacking"-like stuff.
Basically, ZSNES has this built in option that allows you to search for variable values. It's pretty easy to do things like give yourself infinite health, or of something with an obvious value. However, one thing that we figured out was how to use this to be able to change other, much more subtle things in games.
Personally, I find some of the things I've done absolutely hilarious, on top of being awesomely cool. lol. It's soooo much fun trying to break the game in cool ways...
Here's a video of some of my hacks that I've created for Harvest Moon.
EDIT: Oh, and just to point out something I noticed after watching it again. I did not mean to make that look like a cross (you'll see what I mean)! I was going for a T. lol.
Like the "digger" I made? I can't even remember how I stumbled upon that one, but man, it has to be probably the best one I've made for any game yet. Although there are some others that would be very close.
I'll post some of the other games I've done sometime soon. I have midterms coming up next week, so I'll be studying all weekend, but I'll probably do this for breaks.
And if anyone is interested, I could even make a video showing how I did this, cause it really is very fun. Especially since there is basically a limitless amount of things you can do with this.
Anyways, I'm off to the chatroom...
Cheers,
- Kastom
