Any tutorials for filtering out enemies (when creating our own cheat codes) so they don't get infinite health too?

Hi there,

I am learning how to create my own cheat codes for ps vita games, and have managed to successfully create them for infinite health. But every now and then one of my enemies gets infinite health too and obviously becomes unkillable and I hit a roadblock. Any tutorials or instructions out there on how I can exclude the enemy from getting infinite HP? Thanks

I guess you need to find an alternate address for the cheat that doesn't affect enemies.
Or you can try a different method altogether, create a blink godmode by abusing invincibility frames (if the game has them)

Two scenarios for enemy getting infinite health in the typical way (I will ignore you setting your attack or accuracy to 0 such that they become unkillable), likewise I will skip pointers even if 2) is potentially a result of it.

1) You held the wrong location. Presumably search for change while you are in a battle or something and just held a bunch of values.
Refine your cheat search better in those cases. Can also do things like give the enemy or yourself a potion to increase the value and look for a corresponding change that does not match normal damage.

2) The game does some kind of logic that sees enemies and players calculated via the same internal function (feed all the relevant stats and randomness in, have it spit the results out, repeat for any actor within the game). You then presumably finding the location used for health for everything.
Choices here are go sideways -- give yourself infinite potions or similar, max def, set max HP to ridiculous...
Alter the game code in some manner to count as infinite health. This gets more into advanced cheat making.
Find where the HP is stored between rounds, hopefully it is not stored on a stack or anything. This is easier if you understand the more advanced code level cheat making.

    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
