Can I do more with pointer using Cheat Device? (PS2 and PSP)

[eatrawmeat391]

I know that there is a 6 codetype capable of writing to a pointer in PS2/PSP.

"Pointer write"

8-bit write
6-aaaaaaa 000000vv
00000000 iiiiiiii

16-bit write
6-aaaaaaa 0000vvvv
00010000 iiiiiiii

32-bit write
6-aaaaaaa vvvvvvvv
00020000 iiiiiiii

a = address to load 32-bit base address from (25 bits)
v = value to store at base + offset (8/16/32 bits)
i = 32-bit offset to be added to base

Loads 32-bit base address from address @a, adds offset @i to it, and constantly
writes the value @v to the final address.
Note that execution stops if base is equal to 0.

Example:
6018F6D4 000003E7
00010000 00000156
- loads base address from address 0x0018F6D4, say base is 0x001A0000
- adds offset 0x00000156 to base to make final address 0x001A0156 where 16-bit
value 0x03E7 will be written to

The problem is in my wrestling game that I am trying to hack uses dynamic addresses to store the player and the AI's data.Before a match it stores the values of the dynamic addresses in a randomize address.My plan is that the first address that stores those dynamic addresses must be static.So it would be handy if I could use a codetype that can access pointer recursively.And also a conditional code that can check value stored at address from a pointer.
I think it is very unlikely that there is a codetype capable of doing such things but I guess it's better to ask first.
I didn't find any configuration for codetype 6 in the PS2RD code_types.txt for nested pointer option.
I can store the final dynamic address using ASM code but I will have to rewrite the ASM code for each code I make since the registers are different and hoping that some registers are unused at that point of execution.
Thanks in advance.

The CodeBreaker version 7 or 8+ for the PS2 will do multiple pointers. I don't remember the exact format. It either has a pointer count as the lower half of the word that flags the write size, or its the upper half and the write size is the lower. Either way, you just throw in more lines as needed for additional offsets, and it'll theoretically let you dig through 65,535 layers of pointers. It is the only device that supports it, though, making code compatibility as low as it can be. There's also no device I can recall that has pointer-based conditional commands.

Based on what you seem to need, assembly is probably the way to go. It actually sounds like the sort of game where you could have become internet famous back in the day for working up an extensible framework for other hackers to use.
