Tutorial:
Getting to know more about bits
Tool(s) used: -
This tutorial will be short one, as my first tutorial I stated about the searching bit. Someone people might not know why I choose 16bit for money, it's because of the range 16bit has. What you really need to know is,
8bit = 0-255
16bit = 0-65 535
32bit = 0-4 294 967 295
For more information about it, you can take a look at
Integer (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rest you don't need to know, mostly you will just end up using 8 and 16 bits, let's take look at 8bit. In Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl the gold range is definitely more than 255, so 8bit is out of the question. 16bit is possible, that's why I choose it.
Back to the first tutorial, the real money address is 0x001B2F0C, but in order for it to works in cwcheat, you have to put a 1 (because of 16bit) infront of the address. So it will looks like this, 0x101B2F0C.
I will cover up more about it on my other tutorial understanding more about cwcheat database.
