any questions, comments, concerns. USE THIS HACK AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION - I
AM NOT LIABLE IF YOU SCREW UP YOUR GAME, CRASH YOUR SYSTEM, OR OTHERWISE GET
MAD. I do not claim that this will work for you - I simply claim that it works
for me.

Introduction:
I just was messing around for a while, and I figured this out, and YES, to all
you purists out there, it is cheating a bit, but once you're at the end of the
game, and you're looking around for those last few rare items, or you need
something to remodel one last weapon, it gets long and slightly boring.

You shouldn't do this until you've gone into at least one Chocobo Forest and
met the Chicobo, so that you can start the Chocobo's World mini-game. (You can
play the game before this, but you can't bring the items into FF8 until then.)

Instructions:
   Okay, to do this, you first need a hex editor. (I used UltraEdit, get it at
www.ultraedit.com). You should also have some basic knowledge of hex, so you
don't mess anything up too badly.
   SquareSoft did something kind of weird with Chocobo's World... while the file
is in hex, most of the numbers are decimal, not hex. ***KEEP THIS IN MIND!***

Hack:
   After playing the game for a while and acquiring at least one non-level-D
item (any from A-C will do), close the game and open the "CHOCORPG" file.

*****BACK UP THE FILE IN CASE THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!*****

Locations / Meanings:

x09 - Current HP
x0A - Max HP
x0B - First half of weapon (first 2 digits in weapon)
x0C - Second half of weapon (last 2 digits)
x1C - # of Level A Items
x1D - # of Level B Items
x1E - # of Level C Items
x1F - # of Level D Items

CAUTION!!! If you do this without any non-level-D items, the item locations
will be holding other data, and the "Chocobo's World" application will fail
when you run it.

What you do here:
  * You can raise your current / max hp
  * You can give yourself a better weapon
  * You can give yourself 99 of each level item!

Now, run FF8 again and bring Boko "Home" using the command, and all the items
in "Chocobo's World" will be added to your team's inventory. Send him back to
Chocobo's World, and repeat as necessary!

If it didn't work, and Chocobo's World will not run, and you didn't back up
the file, your only option is to run FF8, and under the Chocobo's World Menu,
choose "Do Over" to restart the Chocobo's World game. *Author's note: I've
never had to do this, so I'm not even sure it'll work. PLEASE BACK UP YOUR
FILE THE FIRST TIME YOU DO THIS!*

That's it! E-mail me at avenger42@angelfire.com with anything (no spam,
