Repost from
romhacking.netI couldn't find any cheats regarding rare desperation attacks in FFVI. So I spent handful of time of reversing FFVI battle engine and I found a way to make these cool attacks to happen on every attack command.
So here's how to modify the ROM to make every attack cmd to execute Desperation Attack. Easiest is to use VBA-M and open the memory viewer on address and modify the value there. Please notice that Umaro and Gau do not have desperation attacks and thus codes do not work for them.
#addr value
0807D872 3002 # time does not matter
0807D892 4040 # no low hp requirement
0807D8EA 3201 # no 1/16 rnd requirement
Bare in mind that these need to be applied as big endian.
However by modifying just RAM i.e. archieve the same result by CB codes seems not to be possible. However modifying these addresses will leave just the 1/16 rnd requirement. So that's something...
02003A3F FF # time is FF
02003EE5 02 # status is low hp
However letter code isn't that usable because it binds the status to low hp. So if you get other statuses like kappa the game goes crazy. It seems that there is no CB code to apply OR function to the memory address? I just found that there's AND function. CB OR function would make the code more usable...
These codes were tested with Final Fantasy VI Advance (E).
