But instead of hacking the game itself, you hack the state of the console, then load that state.
It's more effective when it comes to editing variable things, I guess. |
Hack the state of the console? I have no idea what you mean.
I want something that makes it simple. |
Basically, a savestate is the a capture of the state of your console (how the game is while it's running). Hacking a savestate can change variable memory that the console has to take account of, like the map where you are on, the status of you villagers, the items in your pocket, etc. By hacking, you can change those, and then load the savestate and save the game to keep those changes.
I heard that Action Replay has a built-in savestate creator and loader. "Power saves", I heard they were named. |
Would there be a way to get my grass color-changing codes to permanently stay, then?
Because as of now, if the AR is out of the system, the grass is normal. |
That's because, you see, while the Shown Grass Palette is variable, the Grass Palette according to the date is stored directly into the game, and so is independent of the state of the console, because those values cannot be modified by normal means (unlike the town's layout, which is stored in the game's save file).
To keep the same Grass color, you would have to hack the corresponding value for each day addresses, or vice versa. They would then become permanent changes. I don't know if AR can even do that. |

So I'd always have to play with that huge thing sticking out of my DS... D:
