You could just set it stupidly high, that should be much easier and less likely to freeze.

Doing it with Help - Array of Byte hacks


For a full guide on AOB hacking, take a look at pkedpker's awesome guide. If you manage to master this, you'll put yourself in the company of some of the better hackers on this site. If you just want to use an AOB hack that someone else provided, it's simple.

1) Find the AOB hack. Chances are, if you're here, you'll find it here. For an example, we'll use the following AOB hack from "Mushroom Madness" (kudos to Derek)

Unlimited Ammo
96 02 00 08 97 4e 51 -> 96 02 00 08 97 4e 02



2) Load up the game. DO NOT proceed past the initial screen/loader. Most games require that the game be freshly loaded into memory to apply the AOB hack - some even require you to apply the hack during the loader itself, which can get tricky as you try to do things quickly enough. CE's speedhack works well to help with that.

3) Start a search using "Array of Bytes" type of variable in CE. You want to search for the first value listed (in this case, 96 02 00 08 97 4e 51). AOBs are usually of sufficient length and complexity that you will only get one result, unless the operation occurs multiple times in the code. So you should only have to search once. Select your result (or all of them, if multiples come up) and add them to your CE variable list.

4) Change the value of your result(s) to the indicated value - in this case, 96 02 00 08 97 4e 02. You'll note that the arrays are nearly identical, the only difference being that the 51 at the end changed to 02. Be sure that you get all the changes, sometimes more than one value changes.

5) You're done, go ahead and play the game.

One of the disadvantages of AOB hacks is that often, an update to the game will change the code enough that the AOB hack no longer works. If you're sure you've done everything properly - ESPECIALLY the part about searching for the AOB right after the game loads - then that may be the case. There is no easy way to make an incorrect AOB work, you'll either have to wait for someone to come out with an updated one, or learn how to do it yourself. (broken image removed)
