================================================ Young Merlin Pro Action Replay Codes v1.2 ================================================ Table of Contents [1] Introduction [2] Normal Codes [3] Inventory Codes [3.1] Part 1: Inventory Editing [3.2] Part 2: Item List Editing [3.3] Part 3: Item List Length Editing [3.4] Troubleshooting: Common Problems [4] Credits, other info ================================================ [1] Introduction ================================================ All of these codes have been tested using Zsnes on the US, Euro, and Beta versions of Young Merlin. They should work with every version of the game. Some of these codes require some knowledge of hexadecimal. If you are running MS Windows you can easily convert Decimal numbers to Hexadecimal and back by using the calculator program in your accessories folder. Knowing how hexadecimal numbers work is useful for some of these codes. If you do not understand hexadecimal please use a search engine like google as that is out of the scope of this guide. ================================================ [2] Normal Codes ================================================ 7EEDDB?? Max Heart Containers [03-10] Normally in the game you can have up to 16 heart containers. Normal values range between 03-10 for 3-16. You can go higher but the results are unpredictable and may cause the game to crash or behave strangely. If your current hearts are higher than your maximum an annoying debug message will display each time you take damage. 7EEDDE?? Current Amount of Full Hearts [00-10] 7EEDDD?? Partial Amount filled of last heart [00-FF] For full health, set the first code to the number of heart containers you have and the second code to 00. These 2 codes are a little tricky. The first one controls how many full hearts you have. The second one adds another heart and controls how much it is partially filled up. A halfway filled heart is a value of 80, a full one is a value of FF. For example if you wanted to have 3.5 out of 4 hearts you would set the first code to 03 and the second code to 80. If you wanted to have 4 out of 4 hearts you would set the first code to 04 and the second one to 00. You could also try setting the first code to 03 and the second one to FF. 7EEFF8?? Current Amount of Clovers [00-0B] Set this value to 0B for 11. The next clover you receive will give you invincibility or full health. The numbers on the screen will not reflect the change this code makes. You must turn the code off once you get your 12th clover because the game counts them down to 0. Do not set this value to 12 or higher or your clover count will remain at 12 and you'll never be able to get any bonuses from them. 7E4FD5?? Current Air Bubbles [00-06] Set this value to 06 for 6 air bubbles. Leave the code on to never run out of air while underwater. ================================================ [3] Inventory Codes ================================================ 7E4CD7?? Current Equipped Item in B slot [00-3A] 7E4CD9?? Current Equipped Item in Y slot [00-3A] These 2 codes edit the item you are currently equipped with. This is a quick way to play with items you don't have or use the ones that don't show up in the game normally. See the list at the bottom of 3.2 for the values for ??. If you try to use bottles with these codes and you do not already have the bottle in your inventory it can crash the game. The following codes are used to edit your item inventory. There are 3 steps to properly editing your inventory. Failing to do these steps correctly can result in buggy behavior and may crash the game. Make backup save states first and read carefully! Once you have Entered all of the codes. Check your inventory and cycle through your items to confirm that you did everything correctly. Then Save State, turn off the codes, and load state. There are 3 steps: ================================================ [3.1] Part 1: Inventory Editing ================================================ Step 1: Edit the item into your inventory screen. There are 30 slots on the inventory screen. I have numbered the inventory like so: 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A 1B 2B 3B 4B 5B 6B 1C 2C 3C 4C 5C 6C 1D 2D 3D 4D 5D 6D W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6 Each Item has certain values to specify its state. Do not use any other values or you can have unexpected results like being spammed with debug messages or the game crashing when you try to use the item. Some Items occupy the same space in your inventory. These slots have multiple item listings. The items displayed first will cover the ones displayed last, in order. You can have 2 items that occupy the same space, you will be able to switch between them using L and R in part 2. For the items that are rechargeable, make sure you add the usable version. The game uses these part 1 codes to determine whether you have an item or not. The game uses some of the inventory variables here for progression and item placement so beware that you might cause problems or skip game content by hacking your inventory. Some of these items have 2 values for it being removed from the inventory. The second value might be used to specify that you had the item and used it once because that is what the game sets it to once you have used and lost the item. Weapon 1: 7E4D12??

To do this you must add each item from your inventory starting from the first slot. Do this for Y items and B weapons. Couple of things to note: -For the items to work properly you must add every Y item to the Y list and every B item to the B list at least once -You can add multiple copies of one item if you want. You can also place multiple copies in different lists, like B Weapons in the Y list. Just make sure you have at least one copy of each item in its correct list. -You can put the items in any order you like, so you could group the more useful ones together. -Fill up your item slots in order. In other words put an item in slot 1, then 2, then 3. Don't jump around or make gaps in the list. -Again, for weapons that recharge pick the usable version. 7E4D$$?? Y Items Slot (55 Total) [16-4C] [00-3A] 7E4D$$?? B Weapons Slot (9 Total) [4D-55] [00-3A] $$ - These values determine which slot For The Y items, there are 55 slots you can place items into starting from 16 and going to 4C. For the B items, there are 9 slots you can place items into starting from 4D and going to 55. ?? - These values determine which item 00 Nothing 01 Tulip (Creates Silver Star) 02 Daisy (Creates Golden Comb) 03 Daffodil (Creates Lightning Bolt) 04 Rose (Creates Snow Flake) 05 Golden Foxglove (Creates Hour Glass) 06 Green Gem (Creates Mirror) 07 Red Gem (Creates Bubble Wand) 08 Yellow Gem (Creates Balloon) 09 Orange Gem (Creates Stun Dust) 0A Blue Gem (Creates Air Bubble) 0B Indigo Gem (Creates Shooting Star) 0C Violet Gem (Creates Match Stick & Rainbow Gem) 0D Rainbow Gem 0E Bottle 1 0F Bottle 2 10 Bottle 3 11 Shooting Star 12 Silver Star 13 Lightning Bolt 14 Snow Flake (Usable) 15 Snow Flake (Recharging) 16 Blue Sparkly Thing (not in normal game, no idea what it does) 17 Hour Glass 18 Golden Comb 19 Wooden Heart (Goes in second item slot) 1A Wooden Heart (All of these hearts work) 1B Wooden Heart (for every flower, regardless) 1C Wooden Heart (of which ones you use) 1D Wooden Heart 1E Lantern 1F Match (Usable) 20 Match (Recharging) 21 Air Bubble 22 Stun Dust 23 Wrench 24 Key (Gold) 25 key (Silver) 26 Wheel 27 Wooden Heart (Does not work) 28 Balloon 29 Mirror 2A Raw Ore 2B Reflection Crystal w/ Fairy inside 2C Spring 2D Bubble Wand 2E Fish Bowl (Empty) 2F Fish Bowl w/ Cave Herring Inside 30 Cave Herring (Alive) 31 Cave Herring (Dead) 32 Dwarven Key (4 Arrows Teleport Item) 33 Sword (Does not appear in game normally) 34 Heart Locket (Usable) 35 Heart Locket (Recharging) 36 Gold Sparkly Thing (Not found in normal game, no idea what it does) 37 Bottle (Causes a debug message if you try to fill it) 38 Bottle w/ Rainbow water (Heals 1 heart, can reuse infinitely, causes debug message upon use) 39 Bottle w/ Normal water (heals 3 hearts, can reuse infinitely, causes debug message upon use) 3A Bottle w/ Blue water (Invincibility, can reuse infinitely, causes debug message upon use) 3B-FF Everything from here on out is glitchy and can cause the game to crash. ================================================ [3.3] Part 3: Item List Length ================================================ Step 3: The final step is to tell the game the length of the new item lists you have created. Count up how many items are in your list and convert that number to Hex (Use the windows Calculator). Remember that the Y list can have up to 55 items and the B list can have up to 9. Do not try to go higher than these values or you will just add garbage to the end of your list. 7E4CDB?? Max Number of Items in Y slots [00-37] 7E4CDD?? Max Number of Items in B slots [00-09] Did you do everything correctly? If so, Save State, Turn off the item code, Load State, and you're good to go! ================================================ [3.4] Trouble Shooting: Common Problems ================================================ Q: When I try to select an item from the Inventory I get this message: "ERROR IN DISPLAY INV SCREEN" A: You most likely added the item to your inventory and forgot to add it to the list. Cycle through the item list using the L and R buttons and confirm that it is there. Q: When I use XXXXXX it causes weird graphical glitches and freezes the game. A: Either you are trying to use an item above 3A or you did not follow all the proper steps to add it to your inventory. Confirm that you followed steps 1 - 3 exactly. Q: When I cycle through my item list with the L and R buttons some of the items at the end of the list do not show up. A: You set the values in part 3 too low. Count up all the items and try again, or just keep setting it higher until it shows them all. Q: At the end of my item list there are items with messy looking icons that crash the game when I try to use them. A: You set the values in part 3 too high. Count up all the items and try again, or just keep setting it lower until the garbage items disappear. Q: The Heart Locket doesn't work. A: I don't think this item was intended to be used outside of the final battle. ================================================ [4] Credits and other stuff ================================================ I am the sole author of this document.
