GrayShadow's 'Giving Gogo Magic' code

Nope, no new chests. I changed the contents of some pre-existing ones, but only the ones with items, the ones that were empty or had gil, didn't touch.

On start-up, 1E3C is 00; when I select a saved game to load, it turns to 10.

I pre-preemptively speed ran through the first part of the game, keeping the RAM Hex open to watch for the 10; it never came up, right up to the Vargas fight. 00 all the way. Is there anything in particular I should try to see if it triggers it?
