This was created using the FCEU emulator, and Breakpoint Software's Hex 
Workshop. They can be found at www.zophar.net and www.bpsoft.com, 
respectively.

Different emulators use different save states, so this guide will only work 
with FCE Ultra emulators. 

Version History:
--Version 0.50, October 17th, 2002: After months of work (or days. Day? Okay, 
  just a few hours.) I've typed up all this stuff. I don't think I left 
anything
  out.


-Fun with numbers-

I keep forgetting that not everyone understands hex. Sparing you all the 
boring
details, I'll just run you through it really fast.
Assuming you're using Hex Workshop (because I've never worked with another
editor, so I don't know how they act), simply find what you want to change, 
from the lists below, and make a note of the number beside it. Then you go 
into
your editor, and open the save state. Right click in the place with all the 
numbers, and select Go To > Offset. Or you can just hit Ctrl+G. Either way, 
once the find menu is open, enter the Offset in the box, and make sure that 
the
bubble next to Hex is filled in. Then you just hit Go. It'll take you right 
there. Then you enter the number you want, in hex. And then you reload the 
state.
So, if I want the Prince of Midenhall's strength to be 45. I find Offset 068A, 
and enter 2D as the digit. Hex Workshop comes with a nifty little calculator 
for figuring this stuff out.
So. Let's recap.
Open editor. Load save state. Hit Ctrl+G. Enter offset. Change number. 
Reload.
Yeah, that's not too hard, is it?

Useful digits to remember are:
   (decimal)      (hex)
    1              01
    10             0A
    20             14
    50             32 
    100            64
    255            FF
    65535          FFFF
