Ever wanted to give your Pokemon phenomenal powers and progress like a
professional? Now you can, simply by following the instructions in this Guide
and downloading a program called "Hex Workshop" from http://www.bpsoft.com!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since I released my famous save state hacking guide for
"Neill Corlett's Seiken Densetsu 3," my mailbox has been flooded
with letters from fans as well as people who needed my assistance.
So, naturally, I thought I'd kick it up a notch and create a save
state hacking guide for the most popular video game in history.
I hope you enjoy it! ~RaGNaRoSeN

called "Hex Workshop." Once you're finished downloading and
the program is finished running SETUP.EXE automatically, open
Hex Workshop and use it to open any save files you may have.

*** INTRODUCTION TO HEXADECIMAL CODE ***
By Jason Timmons (jtimmons@purdue.edu)
Hex seems complicated at first, but is quite
simple after a while. The list of numbers on the
left is the address. Ignore the gibberish on the
far right. The key number in hex is 16. It uses
the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.
0-9 have their normal values and A-F has the
values of 10-15. To read a hex value, each
column has a value. Example:
Normal number: 99 => 9 is the tens column, and 9 is the ones column
Hex number: 63 => 6 is the 16s column, 3 is the ones column
Both of these numbers are 99. In hex the second column is worth
16 each. so you multiply 6 * 16 to get 96, then you add 3 * 1 to
get 99. Now the letters.
Normal number: 243 => 2 is the hundreds column, 4 is the tens column, and 3 is the ones column
Hex number: F3 => F is the 16s column, 3 is the ones column
Both of these are 243. F is equal 15 so you multiply 15 * 16 to get 240,
then you add 3 * 1 to get 243.
Each column is a multiple of 16. The next column after the 16s column
is 256, which is 16*16. The column after that is 4096, which is 256 * 16.
Each column after that is the next multiple of 16. This is how you do
very large numbers. Here's an example.
Normal number: 10,456 => 1 is the ten-thousands column, 0 is the thousands column,
4 is the hundreds column, 5 is the tens column, and 6 is the ones
Hex number: 28D8 => 2 is the 4096s column, 8 is the 256s column, D is the 16s column,
and 8 is the ones
Again, both equal 10,456. Take 2 * 4096 to get 8192, add 8 * 256 to get 10,240, add
D(13) * 16 to get 10,448, then add 8 * 1 to get 10,456.
This is a basic guide for hex. It doesn't really get much more complicated that that.
With most hex editors, when you open a save state, you will have the addresses on
the left, junk on the right, and the hex codes in the middle. A set of two number/letter
sets is considered a unit. There are 16 units on 1 line. If the address on the right says
00002700, then the line addresses go like this:
Line Address 0001 0203 0405 0607 0809 0A0B 0C0D 0E0F Junk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00002700 6363 6363 FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF cccc............
So if the guide says that address 2704 is for the first characters strength, then he has 255
strength. [FF = (15*16) + (15 * 1) = 255] FF is at the address 2704, so in normal numbers,
that equals 255.
All this will take a little practice to get used to, but it gets easier as you go.
Also, some codes are flipped. Like if you wanted that value of 99,999 somewhere,
which is 1869F in hex, it takes three units. Something like gold, which takes three
units, is reversed. So it would say 27BE, then 27BD, then 27BC. So you would put the
first unit: 01 in 27BE, then the second unit: 86 in 27BD, then the third unit: 9F in
27BC.

Contrary to popular belief, you can't get Togepi, Pikablu, or any other
Pokemon in the original Red and Blue games. There are a total of 152
Pokemon that are available in Red and Blue, and of the 255 possible
input values, over 100 of them are Missingno's. Missingno is a bird
Pokemon that appears as a glitch on the screen, and evolves into Kan-
gaskhan at a certain level. The fully hidden 151st Pokemon, Mew, IS
AVAILABLE! It's true! Input the number 15 to get Mew.
WARNING: Pokedex data will not be added for hacked Pokemon. When they
evolve, Pokedex data will be added for their evolved stages.
