This post is originally made for MRMIdAS, but might be of interest for some other cheat finders, so I post it here instead of sending a PM ...
To get watch cheats for player 1 it's (most of the time) easy :
- find address of the first tile (if you found "winning hand" cheats, you shall know it)
- add a watch with this address
- set number of bytes to 14 (there are 14 tiles)
- for some games, you need to skip 1 or 3 bytes (be sure you display 8-bits values)
When this is done, you shall be able to see player's hand, the values being sorted the same way you see player's tiles ...
For the CPU, this is the same, the most difficult thing being to find the adress of the first tile, so here is the "trick" :
- lose a game and search for the value of the tile on the right (remember that CPU tiles are also sorted), but backwards
- continue until you only have one valid adress
- check that everything is OK by putting a watch on this value, and again by setting the number of bytes to 14
- if you see all CPU hand (at least the 13 first tiles), you get it !
Be aware that the CPU must NOT make any combinaison that discards some tiles (CHI, PON or KAN), or the tiles might not be correctly sorted !
I hope that this helps ... Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions ...
