Well, I've been playing FFIX on ePSXe, which is a Playstation1 emulator for PC/Linux, and recently found a 'cheat' program. It comes with several built in codes, as well as memory addresses of interest for FFIX. I was thinking, if someone could find out where in the memory the active character model (Zidane, usually) was stored, one could use this program to change that value, thus changing the character. I know, this doesn't sound like much, but how would you like to walk around as FREYA instead of Zidane everywhere? At the moment, I need to play until I find a place where the active character switches (Cleyra is the closest that I can think of). If anyone is interested in helping/reaping the results of my efforts, they would need a copy of FFIX (which most of us already have, but can be found easily on e-bay), ePSXe, and EmuCheater

Well, I think that would be hard. As I understand it, those cheat devices usually work--as you seem to know--by watching for predictable changes in hex codes. With some skill you could write a script or code that would watch for locations that change back to previous values when going from Zidane to Freya to Zidane, but you'd still have the problem of the game likely crashing whenever the main character tried to talk--happens I think in other FF games when a character was swapped through hex hacking.
But if you have any luck just changing Zidane's character model to Freya's (which would be kinda weird at some points in the game), let us know.

"Freya: Doesn't it feel good to let yourself go outdoors." *Tinkle Tinkle Tinkle*
^^- Might be one of those weird points in the game.

K, don't want to sound like a big meanie here, but this thread's well out of date. So, it's a lock for now.

Unlok'd because there has been a (minor) development on the hacking front: Character SwitcherIt's not quite what I was going for, but it's a step in the right direction. (I know it's Beatrix themed, but it works for other chars too) You can replace pretty much any character with any other (playable) character, including everyone's fave rat-chick ;D. It only works in battles though Still working on a way to change the Zidane overworld character sprite/model though. [NOTE, you NEED a gameshark/cheat enabled emulator for this to work. PM me if you need help with the instructions]
