Modding/Hacking Shadow of the Colossus You will need the PCSX2 emulator, the BIOS to make it run and a disc or ISO of the game. The BIOS are illegal to download so dont ask me for them !"ou can find them if "ou search hard enough#. You will also need a memor" editor. I suggest "ou use Tsearch Tsearch and $%S !&" '.S(iro#. The" are &oth free to download. $%S is much more )ersatile than Tsearch and it locks codes &etter. I use $%S for codes such as gra)it" and colour and Tsearch Tsearch for most e)er"thing else. I search for codes !addresses# using $%S $%S then sa)e the list of codes I found * then I usuall" co(" and (aste the addresses into Tsearch Tsearch as a &acku(. +ote I use -indows XP and if I restart m" com(uter the codes I sa)ed alwa"s work with the sa)e states I)e made in the emulator. But if I use -indows /, the codes change !(ointers# so I would ha)e to find them each time I o(ened a sa)e state !which would take too much time#, so I stuck with XP. !0(date If "ou use the latest )ersion of the PCSX2 emulator "our codes will not change as it sa)es the sa)e states to the same &lock of memor" for each game. So in effect, the codes "ou find should ne)er change !as the" do for earlier )ersions of the emulator#. So theres usuall" three things a code does * a (ositi)e num&er makes it &igger or faster etc. a negati)e num&er makes it smaller or slower and 1ero will turn it off !although this isnt alwa"s the case#.

Colossi Codes
To find the (osition coordinates of a colossus, 6ust start the fight then run u( to where the colossus is standing and take note of -anders u(down !or 1# )alue. Then search for a range a&o)e and &elow that )alue. So if -anders 1 )alue is D/.558F/94 for e:am(le set "our range to D to DF. Then modif" the results to 88 or something !+ote It must &e much larger than the original )alue to work (ro(erl"#. -hen "ou lock the right )alue "ou will see the colossus fl" u( into the air and come &ack down again, o)er and o)er. 0se the same method to work out its ew and ns coordinates !as "ou did with -ander#. -ander#. To start with I would tr" and mod $alus as hes (rett" eas" !this was the first colossus ---3rea ---3rea modded, and shortl" thereafter we &oth found all the other colossi codes#.
Malus Codes (Position Co2ordinates$ +ote You You can onl" mo)e $alus once. Once he has mo)ed somewhere "ou cant mo)e him again unless "ou reload "our sa)e state and start again. Stand at the start of the fight with $alus on the ram( slo(ing u( and search for either of these three codes !addresses# 0(Aown *8.485582FD $o)e him around while -ander is on to( if "ou like... I had a lot of fun with this.
Control the Colossi (" shifting the camera to them$ To shift the camera to a colossus or other o&6ect "ou need to know -anders (osition co* ordinates * his u(down, eastwest, northsouth )alues * see a&o)e. Co(" his u(down address and in $%S o(en the he: editor and goto that address.

I find it much easier to use Tsearch Tsearch for this as "ou can 6ust change the )alue without ha)ing to lock it. I usuall" find &oth -anders and 3gros 3gros o&6ect camera codes as "ou can shift from one to the other. To shift &ack from 3gro to -ander "ou must ha)e -anders camera code at 1ero, then change 3gros code to 77 and "ou will &e -ander again, &ut now 3gro has disa((eared !onl" her reins are )isi&le# so change 3gros code &ack to 1ero and she will rea((ear. The (ro&lem with using this code with a colossus is that the camera will go to another o&6ect first, like at the first colossus it goes from -ander to 3gro and then to a tree> You You can actuall" control the tree &" ( ressing suare or circle * the tree shakes as if the colossus is walking &". You You can also knock the tree o)er with the A*(ad controls &ut then "ou are stuck as "ou cant shift the camera &ack to -ander from the tree * I use another o&6ect camera code to do this !which is too hard to e:(lain here#. But for most colossi it will go straight to the colossus after 3gro, 3gro, so "ou can (la" as a colossus * which is (rett" awesome awesome G #
