Where is says Value, type in your string of numbers (6E000226240B) and click on "OK". Where it says "Type", make sure that it says "Hex Values", and make sure that "Down" is checked. Next, open the European ROM with your hex editor. If you only have a few matches, you can choose to just count which match it is if you'd like (ie. If there's more than one match, keep adding more numbers until you only have one match. It's a good idea to search for that string of numbers in the USA ROM to make sure there is only one match. This is the string of numbers that we will be searching for in the European ROM. In this case, we will write down this string: 6E000226240B. In most cases, this is enough, however, if you find that you're getting a ton of matches with 6 bytes, you'll need to increase the length of your string.
The next step is to write down a string of numbers. Next, make sure "Hex" and "Beginning of File" are checked and click on "Go". Where it says Offset, type in the address you got from your GG conversion program (088FAA). Open up your USA Ecco Tides of Time ROM with a hex editor. In this case, if you go to ROM address 088FAA, the value there is 6E00, which will be replaced with 6000.

What the GG code does is replace the original value at that ROM address with a new value. 088FAA is the ROM address, and 6000 is the replacement value. When you enter this into your GG conversion program, this is the ROM address and value it gives you: 088FAA:6000. We'll start with the Game Genie code that lets you swim through walls: ACHT-TA7L. Use Google, or there's one on my website. Google it if you don't know where to look.Īnd lastly, get a Game Genie conversion program that works on Genesis codes. Get both ROMs (US and European) from you favorite ROM site. I personally use Hex Workshop, so that's what I'll use in this example. Start out by getting any hex editor you want. We'll be using Ecco - Tides of Time for the Sega Genesis/MD.

Here's a quick run down on how to convert a Game Genie code from a USA game/ROM to a European game/ROM. Once I can do that, I might want to look into some other game codes for this as well :) Would you be willing to help me get the right editor for this and if possible guide me through this for 1 code, so I can do it myself afterwards? Any help would be appreciated :) No worries Tony :) I don't know how to use a hex editor, but I would be very interested in learning just the couple of steps needed to convert codes from NTSC to PAL.
