Hacking List

This is a list of the codes used for hacking MEKA save states in Phantasy Star Gaiden. If you do not yet know how to hack save states, click here for an explanation.

* For numerical values that can take more than two hexadecimal digits (numbers over 255), to enter in a number lower than 255, use the first two spots listed. For a number between 256 and 65535 (That is, numbers that would take between 3 and 4 digits to enter), you have to put in the first two digits in the second spot, and the last two in the first. For numbers taking 5 or 6, the first two digits go in the third spot, next two in second spot, and last two in third spot
For example, let's say you want 10,000 Mesetas. That would be 2710 in hexadecimal. There is room for 4 digits to put in the money. But you must put the first two digits in the last two places. The first two digits are 27 and the last two digits are 10, so you'd enter 1027. If you wanted to 5A7 (1447), you'd enter A705 (remember that the digits are always in pairs. Just think of 5A7 as 05A7). It's complicated, and takes some getting used to.

For first character (add 1D for next character)
595 "Identity" (Change this and it'll change who this character is: 01 is Mina, 02 is Alec, 03 is Dirk, 04 is Lars, and 05 is Alis. If you enter a different value, your character's sprite, status picture and stats will change. For example, you could become a heart, a horse, or a cloud of sand. Try at your own risk.)
596 Status
597 Level
598-599 Experience
59A HP
59B Max HP
59C MP
59D Max MP
59E STR
59F AGL (in the status screen, the game incorrectly puts the INT value in the AGL slot. The only way to really check your AGL is to look in a hex editor)
5A0 INT
5A1 PRT
5A6 Weapon
5A7 Armor
5A8 Shield
5A9-5AB Magic
Other (non character related)
5F2-5F3 Mesetas
5F4-643 Items
For first monster (add 1D for each additional monster)
87A Status
87B HP
87C STR
87D AGL
87E INT
87F PRT

Items

Phantasy Star Gaiden uses an unusual item system. There are places in the code for each individual item. The number you put in that place indicates the number of that item you have. For example, if you want 255 Ceramic Swords, put FF in 5FC

Equipment

Enter these values in your character's Weapon, Armor and Shield spots. Keep in mind that entering Magic and Items is useless. Also if you put a piece of armor for a weapon, the PRT value of the armor will be added to the STR (Same if you put a weapon for armor)

Magic

There are three slots for Magic, which is divided into three lists of eight (Spells with an asterisk by them seem to have been dummied out and are useless). First come the codes for the spells in each list:

5A9

00 Nothing
01 MindWarp
02 Terror
04 Protect
08 Rope
10 Relocate
20 Flaeli
40 Quinine
80 Heal

5AA

00 Nothing
01 Martyr
02 Tandle
04 Power
08 Mobile*
10 DejaVu
20 Bi-Heal
40 Leave
80 Hewn

5AB

00 Nothing
01 Luminant
02 Miracle
04 Adol
08 MegaHeal
10 Time
20 Bash
40 Repel
80 Medice

To give yourself the spell you want, enter its code in the corresponding slot. So if you want the first character to know Terror, Tandle, and Repel, enter 02 in 5A9, 02 in 5AA, and 40 in 5AB
If you want multiple spells in the same list, just add their values together and enter that. For example, if you want the first character to know Terror, Protect, Relocate, and Quinine, add the values (02 + 04 + 10 + 40 = 56) and enter the sum (56) in 5A9

Status Ailments

If you want to edit a character's status ailment (or an enemy's for that matter), you'll need to know the codes for all the status ailments. So...here they are.

00 Nothing
01 Stun
02 BrainWarp
04 Frozen
08 STR Down
10 STR Up
20 STR Doubled
40 Mute
80 Time Frozen

If you want multiple ailments, simply add the values of the ailments you want. For example, if you want your character to be stunned, brainwarped, frozen, and muted, add 01 + 02 + 04 + 40 = 47. Put 47 in, and you character will have all those ailments.
