ZSNES ZST Save State Hacking Guide for "Brain Lord"

"Save State Hacking Guide" is a trademark of Ragnarosen.
To alter the statistics of your characters through hacking into
your save state (or *.ZST file), you'll need to go to Break
Point Software (http://www.bpsoft.com) and download a program
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 ZST files you may have.
***OFFSETS***
To learn about HEX WORKSHOP and hexadecimal hacking in
general, refer to Jason Timmon's "Hexadecimal Coding And
Hacking Primer," which I included at the beginning of my
save state hacking guide for "Dragon Warrior III." You
can find it at GameFAQs.

***THE THREE "MASTER" ITEMS***
There are three phenomenal items that Enix put in so their programmers
could freely and easily debug the game without fear of dying,
getting stuck, having to WALK from one place to another like
idiots, and having to constantly solve those tedious puzzles.
They are the Master Key (0400), the Debug Warp Gate (0D00),
and the Debug Mirror (0205). Any save state hacker would want
to put these three items in their bag.
The Master Key can open ANY DOOR IN THE GAME when equipped, and it
can be used an infinite amount of times.
The Debug Warp Gate is like a normal Warp Gate, but it can warp to
any place in the game (even the Restaurant, where the ending
sequence takes place) and it can be used an infinite amount
of times.
The Debug Mirror is like the Reviving Mirror, but it can be used an
infinite amount of times. Very useful for fighting those pesky
bosses.
***GREAT PLACE FOR BRAINLORD MIDI FILES***
If you have a MIDI player like WinAmp (get it at http://www.winamp.com)
and you want to listen to the disco/techno/metal soundtrack of
"Brain Lord," go to the Video Game Music Archive at
http://www.vgmusic.com. This website has MIDI's for almost
every single game in existence. The best songfiles for "Brain
Lord" are made by someone named "SinclairC."
