Hi I am trying to do a cheat for RPG Joshoken Necromancer (J).

I found for example the F8240C:255 for the main character's MAX HP.
In the Value field I could only input 255 for the max, while in the real game it can go up to 999, but when I tried to input 999 or 3E7 (999) it didn't let me input at all.

So, how can I input 999 instead of 255 please, thanks!

The system, being 8-bit, can only hold values from 0 to 255 in any one location. So, in order to create a value above 255, it needs to access 2 locations.

Normally, 2-byte values are stored in two consecutive memory locations, with the first location holding the least-significant value. So, in this case, I would try this: F8240D:1 (in addition to a value in F8240C, as you already show).

If this works, your HP value would be (value in F8240D) * 256 + (value in F8240C).

For a value of 999, that should be:
F8240C: 231
F8240D: 3

...But try a few variations with lower values first, before going to the opper limit. (like F8240C: 0, F8240D: 1 -> should be 256)
