Hacking FAQs and Stuff
Here are some hacking FAQs, as well as tutorials, guides, charts, translations, and a few other random things, either to help you get started or just to improve your already great hacking skills (or, in the case of some of the other things, simply to entertain you). If you have created an FAQ on hacking, or a guide related to hacking or gaming, feel free to send it in. In fact, if you have anything you feel is worthy to be here, send it in. Any FAQs you send us (that you wrote) will be put up here and your name will be in the description. With that said, enjoy our collection.
ssj4Guide - A good FAQ that deals with all the basics on a simple level that everyone can understand. I would recommend this one to beginners especially. Written by ssj4vejita.
DopeRPGHack - A good RPG hacking FAQ that covers everything all the way down to nachos, and they took it upon themselves to make it entertaining as well as useful. Written by King Edgar 0 and Heh[]heh.
Debug - An FAQ on hacking for debug rooms. Written by Ace.
PEDebug - A guide to the Parasite Eve debug room. Written by Denny Lubins.
SODebug - A translation for the Star Ocean debug room. Written by antisyst3m.
GSCCCJokers - An FAQ on hacking for joker commands. Written by Code Master.
GSCCCWTW - An FAQ on hacking for a walk-through-walls code. Written by Code Master.

FF7Materia - A tutorial on editing materia in FF7. Written by King Edgar 0.
CD Debug - A guide to the Chocobo Dungeon 2 debug room. Written by King Edgar 0.
GSCCCTypes - An FAQ on the different code types. Written by Code Master.
SpriteControl - An FAQ on hacking for a sprite control mod. Written by Lazy Bastard.
Conversion - An FAQ on finding conversion formulas between different versions of the same game, therefore allowing you to use a code no matter which version it was made for. Also contains some useful information on hexadecimal. Written by Lazy Bastard.
Hexadecimal - An FAQ explaining the basics of hexadecimal, otherwise known as hex, with explanations for some things that even most hackers don't understand. Contains pretty useful info for anyone who wants to be a GS hacker. Written by Lazy Bastard.
TextMods - An FAQ on hacking for text mods. Written by Denny Lubins.
DriverConvert - A small FAQ explaining the conversion formula between Driver 1.0 and 1.1. Written by Lazy Bastard.
TFCD - Tonkin's First Computer Dictionary, an old file I just stumbled upon. If you have any knowledge of computers at all, you should find this pretty funny. A note: please do not take any of this stuff seriously, or expect to find anything educational in here; this is just a joke. Definitely worth reading though.
ProjectV - This is it: Project Vocab. It was started originally a while back, but was postponed due to my extreme laziness. It's simply a list of words and terms of the GS scene that any hacker or long-time member of the scene should know. Other than that, the only thing you should know is that it is by no means finished, will remain open-ended indefinitely, and will be updated each time I think of or am reminded of another word or term that should be included. Please e-mail me or one of the GSHI admins if you think of something that should be covered, or want to know the definition of a certain word, etc. Written by Lazy Bastard.
FF2Script - This is not a hacking FAQ at all, but the entire FF2US (FF4JAP) script, with a few fixed sentences. I would say that this is for those people that would rather read something than play it, but those people baffle me, and I don't like to dedicate anything to anybody that in any way subscribes to the act of baffling, so there. I suppose that if you printed this out, you could read it on one of those long car trips or something, but otherwise, I do not condone or in any way support the viewing of this script unless you are, at the same time, playing the actual game. Heh, enjoy.
FF Origins - This is also not a hacking FAQ, but an FAQ on the origins of many, many FF legends and traditions. You should definitely read this; there are things in here that even I didn't know, and I pride myself in knowing a lot about the FF series. Interesting stuff.
RPGCliches - This is just a humorous list of as many stupid little things in RPGs as the writer and his help could think of. Pretty big list, too, and I can't think of anything they didn't cover. Brings back memories reading this...check it out.
History - This doesn't even really belong here, but I found it funny as hell. It's a collection of actual 6th Grade History test answers. Sounds boring as all hell, but just...check it out...
FF2MC - This is the most complete chart in existence of the FF2US monster sneak/drop stats. If Edge can sneak it or the baddies can drop it, chances are it's in here.
FF2US/4J -This is just a giant list of all the differences between FF2US and FF4Jap. Trust me: there are a considerable amount. If you haven't played the FF4J SNES ROM, you should. The translated version can be found through our Links section.
RE2Convert - A small FAQ explaining the conversion formula between any disc of any version of Resident Evil 2 to any other disc of any other version of it. Written By Lazy Bastard.
VGLyrics - A huge collection of videogame song lyrics. Worth the read, especially if you're an RPG fan...although most of the songs in here aren't from RPGs. In any case, check it out.
LZSCompress - An FAQ on the .lzs compression system. Written by CzarDragon.
CDXBoot - An FAQ about using your CDX as a boot CD. A must-read for those with a CDX looking to play imports and...ahem..."backups". Written by SephiRon.
MGSConvert - An FAQ explaining the conversion formulae between all versions of Metal Gear Solid. Written by Lazy Bastard.
MemEditor - An FAQ for the GSPro's Memory Editor function. Although this is somewhat a technical doc, even absolute newbies should have little trouble understanding it, assuming they've read the other GSHI hacking FAQs. Written by Lazy Bastard.
SNESGG - A giant FAQ on SNES GameGenie hacking, written by the GGCCC of old. Definitely read this if you're into SNES hacking of any kind.
FF7 Debug - A great FAQ on the Final Fantasy VII debug room, and it actually gives credit to Czar and RPGod! Heh, but really, I was quite impressed with this doc; check it out. Written by scrwdrvr.
PAR to GG - An FAQ concerning Pro Action Replay to Game Genie conversion. Written by Lazy Bastard
BCHDC - This isn't actually an FAQ, but a page I've added for utility. Inside's a java base conversion tool, and a Hex/Dec calc. Check'em out.
