* PART 14: COMPANY HEX METHODS *

<14.1> Introduction-----------------------------------------------------------
Certain companies tend to store the memory in their cartridges in
certain places. So, in turn, the most useful codes for games by those
companies tend to use the same "groups". These charts will help you
ascertain which "groups" are best to use for positions 5, 6, 7 and 8
in games by various companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| CHART: ****-5678 |
| Each CODE slot has 4 possible groups to plug in. |
| Let's pretend you want to create codes for... Final Fantasy 3 (Square). |
| Well, looking at my chart below you will see that: |

| |
| Meaning that if you want to create a working code for FF3, you might |
| want slots 6,7 and 8 to come from group 1, and slot 5 to come from |
| group 4. It doesn't matter what slots 1-4 are. |
| SAMPLE CODES: D555-776D 8800-8D67 <--- Notice how slots 6,7, and 8 |
| belong to group 1, and slot 5 |
| belongs to group 4. |
| |
| 5 & 7 Change the character to another one in its group: |
| Group 1: D 0 6 A |
| Group 2: F 9 B 2 |
| Group 3: 4 1 C 3 |
| Group 4: 7 5 8 E |
| |
| 6 Change the character to another one in its group: |
| Group 1: D F 4 7 |
| Group 2: 0 9 1 5 |
| Group 3: 6 B C 8 |
| Group 4: A 2 3 E |
| |
| 8 Can be anything, but the alphanumerics within |
| the "groups" for position 6 will create similar |
| effects. |
