What I'm Playing Now: Final Fantasy 1

Well, not really. I remember loving FF1 when I was about 11 years old. It was fun to revisit recently using an NES emulator (FCEU). The fun with emulators, though, is being able to use savestates and cheats to alter the game experience. I couldn't find a listing on the web of Hex locations of major data locations, though, so I'm posting my own small list here. Perhaps the next person to google for "final fantasy 1 fceu hex addresses cheats gold experience potions" will get this handy list.

Note you'll need a hex editor to get this done, I use WinHex. Also note that many values are stored in 2 bytes, with the second byte as most significant. (so to write "4000" to an address, which is 0x0FA0, you write A0 to first byte and 0F to second byte.)
