Hacking EXE 4.5 Guide


This game stores its battle much differently than BN 5 & 6, so before
you start, forget almost anything that you have learned about that and
get ready for 4.5 hacking.

Let's start by changing the viruses. The battle that will be changed will
be a battle in Internet 1. (how convenient!) Look for the battle with 3
Mettaurs. This battle is relatively rare and looks like this:

[_][_][_]|[ ][M][_]
[_][R][_]|[M][ ][_]
[_][_][_]|[ ][M][_]


Beat this battle (or run away) and use LocEnemy. (It's the second one from
the bottom) Now that you have that done, put the following address into the
memory viewer.

080C8E60 = Mod Viruses

It will take you to a line that looks like this:

01 01 06 02 01 FF 00 02 02 00 01 04 02 01 01 05

Only about half of this will change the viruses, the rest continues on the
line below. Now, in this game, the value FF is used as the divider, so never
change it. Remember to put it back when after you are done adding more enemies
(which will be explained later)

Team of Rockman

The 00 after FF is the team of Rockman. This value isn't as universal as the
previous team modifier. Change it to a 01 and Rockman will become your enemy
(but he won't do anything and you lose instantly) Any other value flips him
upside down and all sorts of crazy stuff, so that's really all you can do.
This won't need much changing.

Location

This game also stores location differently. Instead of 22 standing for the
middle of the left side, it is divided into two 8-bit values. Just use a simple
x and y grid method thing. I'm sure all of you have learned in school about x
and y. Let's say you start on value 00 which is always the upper left corner.
The first value is x meaning that's how many spaces you will move right. The
second value is y meaning how many spaces you'll move down. So say you want to
stand on middle bottom panel. You would put 02 03. Simple as that!

Who is Rockman?

This next value basically changes who Rockman is. You get crazy stuff with this,
most of which end up killing you.

Virus/Navi Modding

Virus Modding is very different in this game. All viruses AND Navis are mixed into
all the values. (from 00-FF) Unfortunately, if you have already beaten the Official
Tournament and are fighting Level 2 Viruses, you might as well forget about fighting
Level 1 Viruses again. The game uses a trigger that if you beat the tournament, all
of the virus values automatically go up by one. So finishing that one tournament
means you will NEVER EVER FIGHT A LEVEL 1 VIRUS EVER AGAIN! EVEN A V1 NAVI!!!!!!!!!!
So that basically throws off the first two versions of a virus. Meaning there will be 2
copies of their Level 3 EX form. This can get complicated, so think hard.

Anyways, here is the list!

FF= DIVIDER

Note that for Navis, you can only have a few at a time. The game crashes often when
you have too many, so beware. Also, by adding another target it will not appear in
the name selection, so therefore, you can't really hit them. To add more enemies, just
follow the simple format of:
xx xx xx xx
VIRUS LOCATION KIND

Always remember to add FF at the end of the list. You cannot exceed the maximum of
4 enemies on the field. If there are too many, the game will crash and Navis will
act strangely. Probably the most surprising thing on this list is the second pair
of Normal and Heel Navis. If you replace yourself with any of these two, your tactics
window will change to Rockman's, but you'll have their mugshot instead! When you win
the battle, you get the message, "Normal Navi Win" or, "Heel Navi Win". These two were
never playable in the game, so this is quite an interesting find.

Switching Teams

To do this, change the value after the location of that virus to 08. It is normally
at 01. This virus type mod can actually yeild many interesting things. You must put
any of these values when adding another enemy.

Kind List

00= Replaces virus with Rockman
01= Normal Virus
02= Nothing
03= Rock
04= Nothing
05= MetalGear
06= Nothing
07= Nothing
08= Makes them on your side
09= Crashes


Battle Type Modding

Changing the battle types is harder in this game. Most values crash the game, so very
few things can be changed. If you find more, please tell me.
Here is the address for the modding the battle:

080C7CC0 = Mod Battle

Changing the panels

Here is what you can change, in order. It starts at 00 which is right after 20.
This value changes the battlefield. You can fight in various panel setups. Of
course, there are far too many to mention. Just note that values past D0 make
glitched panels.

The next value doesn't seem to do anything, so just leave it as it is.

Changing the Music

Right next to it is a 62. This is the value for the regular battle music. However,
the game stores music much differently. There are random empty gaps in the music
values down the list. There are even some sounds here. Anyways, the music is
listed here:

Music List

00= No Music
0E= Plug-In
18= Results Screen
19= Loser
1A= Game Over
1B= Enemy Encounter
1E= Winner (short version)
1F= Tournament Winner
28= Theme of Windman
29= Theme of Gutsman
2A= Theme of Fireman
2B= Theme of Elecman
2C= Theme of Metalman
2D= Theme of Woodman
2E= Theme of Iceman
2F= Theme of Shadowman
30= Theme of Starman
31= Theme of Napalmman
32= Theme of Knightman
33= Theme of Plantman
34= Theme of Junkman
35= Theme of Bass
36= Theme of Protoman
37= Title Screen
38= Navi Select
39= Metalman Mini-Game
3A= Mini-Game Explanation
3B= Windman Mini-Game
3C= Match Advancement
3D= Napalmman Mini-Game
3E= Iceman Mini-Game
3F= Official Tournament Winner
40= Internet Theme
41= Undernet Theme
42= Chaos Area Theme
43= Credits
44= Intro Sound
59= Tournament Battle
5A= Theme of Rockman
5B= Theme of Aquaman
5C= Theme of Searchman
5D= Theme of Roll
5E= Theme of Numberman
5F= Theme of Thunderman
60= Math Drill
61= Searchman Mini-Game
62= Virus Battle
63= Boss Battle
64= Push Start


Most of the values after that are just various sounds.

Enemy Number Modifier

This one isn't much. Change 00 to 01 and you will have one selection
as an enemy and the target will shuffle. This isn't very useful.

Changing the Background

Just like in the previous games, the FF is the current background. Change
it to any of the below variables. Because this game was made from BN4,
most of the BGs are from that game, even if you don't normally encounter
it in this game. Here is the full list:

Backgrounds

00= Pulse BG
01= Carnival BG
02= Lan's PC
03= Regular PC
04= ACDC Area BG
05= Town Area BG
06= Park Area BG
07= Netopia BG
08= Undernet BG
09= Dark Regular PC BG
0A= Space BG
0B= Mayl BG
0C= Dex BG
0D= Yai BG
0E= Hotel BG
0F= Soldier BG
10= Town HP BG
11= Black Earth BG
12= Dracky BG
13= Netopia Area BG
14= Netfrica Area BG
15= Sharo Area BG
16= Satelite BG
17= Duo BG
18= Green Tournament BG
19= Blue Tournament BG
1A= Gold Tournament BG
1B= Internet1-3 BG
1C= Internet4-7 BG
1D= Internet7-9 BG
1E= Undernet BG
1F= Undernet BG
20= Green Regular BG
21= Blue Regular BG
22= Yellow Regular BG

That's about it for the backgrounds. The nightime version of the 4.5 background
can be seen in the nighttime.

Changing the Battle Type

I don't know much about this section yet, but all I know is this. The value you change
is 00 which is next from value FF. Change this to any of the following:

20= Green Lines
99= Reduce virus level
E0= Reduce virus level w/Green Lines

There is obviously more, as I have gotten into a link battle before. More will be found
as soon as more testing is done.

Changing the Battle number

To change the battle number, change the second 00 value past the value FF.
Of course, it is in hex, so 11 is 0B.

the offset is off by a lot. Can anyone fix it to 080C8E54? the next battle in 080C8E60 is not the right one, but instead, the one before it.

Since those games are not based on the BN5-6 engine, an entirely new method must be discovered.

I got some chips similar to it but not the chip exactly.

modded a "Bass Cross" in to mmbn 4.5 and 4. It looks kind of weird, though.
