Hi everyone, I am translating Clannad into Russian.
To translate the text in the main file, I decided to create an ips patch.
In the process of working, I came across a text that looks like a list of addresses is being created to work with.

While I was working with the emulator, I was able to redefine the addresses in ips patches and there were no problems, but when I decided to check on a real console, I remembered that the address in memory changes every time I start.
Can anyone tell me what to do about it?

Their approach was completely wrong.

If you want to patch strings with IPS, you patch strings.
If you want to patch static pointers with IPS, you patch offsets in .rel.dyn, not addresses in .data, because game must update addresses to be ASLR compliant. And for that .rel.dyn is used to calculate correct address and then calculated address overwrites static pointers in .data

Thank you for your reply. I think my answer will be untimely, since I rarely visit this resource. But I can confirm that your answer is correct and this is exactly the approach I eventually came to
