Hacking Kirby & The Amazing Mirror - Ability Modifier

[MasterKirby1992]

Hello, this time I made a code for the Kirby saga and still it is a very difficult code to obtain that will be called Ability Modifier.

A code very similar to the Pokémon saga of the Pokémon Modifier code, but it is about the Kirby games.

As I was saying, Ability Modifier, it only works if you add a button activator/code trigger, and also choose an ability from all these values that I have in it.

So, I hope you enjoy them!

Nice work.

What does 00 do in the ability value do?

Also some would probably opt for a code to cycle round the values (add one unless =1A then write zero or some variation on that) even if it would take an age.

Tried it, 00 is default Kirby. There's also a glitchy one named "POW!" that uses the sprite of Poppy Joe but that's about it. It's 1C or 1D, one of these.

Thanks for making it! I haven't even installed a gbat emulator though lol, maybe I will now

In that case glitch ones you can probably leave out or note separately but I would include the baseline/normal/no ability kirby in the main list as plenty of people like such things for challenge runs.

Will add to my todo list if someone doesn't get around to it in a week!

Yeah and best to make it the same value unless you can hit buttons faster than a frame.
The short version of what those codes are doing is
https://doc.kodewerx.org/hacking_gba.html
7 is part of an IF check (as in IF these conditions are met then do this).
In this case it is reading the place where what buttons are pushed are located in memory (not an ideal way to do things but should work well enough for this).
If it sees what it wants it will write the location in memory a specific value.
If then has another check, again on button locations, and writes another area of memory in this case with the ability you want. Presumably as the current abilities are stored in two points in memory (don't know whether that is anti cheat or serves other purposes) or it needs a tweak to make it realise something has changed (don't know if 74 there some kind of reset state).

when i try that ability modifier cheat code, the game crashes
