Coding Questions and other Quandaries

[Hackwiz]

Sorry for not responding sooner.
I spent the morning organizing the items and their proper placement. i.e. Poke Balls in the Balls folder, Key Items in the Key items folder etc...
Here is the "Good" pointer/serial (F6/16) code:

The reason it may be advantageous to do it this way is because there are way more items available than slots for them.
The player may want to create their own item configurations.
The above works great (Dolphin) if you just activate/deactivate the code like I mentioned before.

!!!!!! I love that F6 code.

Which leads to...the button activator.

Ugh!!!!!!!!

I did a half word search for the Z button 0x0010
Found four addresses alternating between 0x0 and 0x10 when z pressed and released.
Created a 28XXXXXX 00000010
And placed it on top of the above code.
Made sure code was active when booting up.
At the Nintendo screen, dolphin may or may not break with an error. I'll click ignore for this session., and
the game continues to boot up.
I know how to find the items memory block in one search, so I can monitor whether the code is working or not
early on.
Pressing the Z button has no effect, and if press enough times will cause dolphin to shut down immediately.
I tried this with all four activator addresses...same thing.
I tried changing endian on the compare...no Bueno.
I ran a search on the button activator address in the dolphin cheat search, and it showed the value for the Z button
to be the same, 0x10.

Apparently I went back to the well one too many times. After dolphin slammed shut one of the times, it apparently corrupted my
cheat manager code file for the game.
On next reboot, all my saved cheats were gone. Grrrrrrrrr!!!

Luckily I'm documenting the good things here to go back to.

So, what have you been up to?

Happy New Year!!!!!!
