GrayShadow's 'Giving Gogo Magic' code

You gotta understand something: You're making SRAM changes, so any observation from a downloaded save file is irrelevant.

Second, you have to debug the code when sabin joined, from a game when you started from beginning. Set a breakpoint at offset specified with the hex string mentioned in previous posts and "step into" until you reach a RTS. While doing this, you should monitor the value of 7E/1E3C in RAM viewer. I'm not offering you the solution because I don't know it but instead how to debug your code. At this point it's more about understanding the code and debug it than waiting for instructions.
