I posted about a month ago for anyone who wanted to continue and take credit for my work in hacking psx Tomb raider games to be able to move through the walls (not as easy as you think). Since I did not get any interested takers I decided to attempt to make time to do it myself. As anyone knows, attempts to move Lara through walls by editing her position fail as she will just go into dark oblivion. I actually have gotten her to go inside the walls without this unplayable glitching.
Took me a couple of hours just to get prepped. I couldn't find a completed Tomb raider save on any of my mem cards and had to level skip my way to a complete save. I decided to use the flying code to help but crashed my game when I saw that the formula I had was for tomb raider 3 so when I calculated it off of the inf health code for TR 1.1 St. Francis Folly level, I got stuck in the air (need to keep better notes). I needed to save this info but, there are no save crystals in this part of the game so, I found the address for the big life pack on top of the tallest column and turned it into a save crystal and then painstakingly modded the position to bring it to the ground and to the right height so that I could save my progress (I am now saved with the lions dead, doors open, Larsen dead). Then I was mortified to find that my codes to go inside the walls simply didn't work. After about 40 mins I figured out that I wrote the addresses in Gameshark format and not how they appear in RAM. Finally got it to work. I can go inside of the walls now but, turning it into a usable Gameshark code and for all levels may be a monumental task. I also have not seriously hacked codes (not counting playing with geck os for the wii and cheat engine on flash games) since the early 2000s. Also, to increase the difficulty, The computer I hook up to the Gameshark needs a monitor or video card (this is a REALLY old one maybe xp or 2000) so, I am hacking Kamakaze (old school with Gameshark pro (unflashed)!!!
