Hacker's Cheat
I wrote a little patch that is good for testing. When pressing the "L"-button you will gain a maximum inventory (all items, the highest possible) and 50 bombs, 50 arrows, some rupees (not much cause cpu is in 8 bit mode when calling the hack, but this can be changed if wanted by someone), all hearts, 1/4 magic and so on. It is commented so you can easily modify it.
- Code:
;this is for getting maximum possible items (rom hacker's cheat for testing) when pressing L button, i use bank 0x3C for the whole code

This is very useful. Of course it is recomended to save & quit after this effect, to reload the new sword and shield correctly.
Here is the upper asm in hex

It should be enough to go in a dungeon to reload it, this worked for me.
Tue 24 Sep 2013 - 18:22 by Conn
definitively a help and well done 
A small note to the rupees:
$360 is the goal (2 bytes; e.g. you buy something this address is set so your actual rupees will count down until they hit this value) and $362 is actual (2 bytes as well).
So if you set the 2nd byte ($361 or $363) you will have more rupees:
7e/f363-98 will give you full 999 rupees.

Oh damn :-D, i didn't notice that i can set the second byte seperatly, so no 16-bit mode is necessary :-D, thanks Conn. But i think it is 361, not 363, cause 362/3 is the actual value and 360/1 (goal) is always set to the actual value, so changing 362/3 will set the rupees in the hud on that new value and making them count down/up to the old value you had before.
Edited my first post with the new version.
I noticed an interesting thing: When Zelda is rescued and in the church but you haven't collected any pendants --> after using the cheat, the priest lay's down and Zelda disappeares (normal case when getting the master sword i think). So it seems that when coming in the church the game checks whether you have the master sword in your inventory or not.
By the way: Any ideas to increase the rupees counter to 4 digits? (like AST with 5 and PW with 4)
Edit: @puzz: now i know what you mean with the shiel and sword graphics. entering a dungeon isn't enough, but using the mirror in a dungeon (to get transported to the entrance) is enough to reload all graphics correctly.

To have more than 999 rupees is easy:
06/dbeb: c9 e8 03 -> ea ea ea (nop out the check that you have 1000 rupees, so the game won't stop counting beyond 999)
However, you'd need some asm to insert a fourth digit. AST even has 5 digits, that lets you collect complete ff ff (65,535) rupees.
I was once hacking a result screen for AST. The calculation procedure from hex to 5 digits decimal was awful, if you go for this you definitively should check the calculation procedure of AST.
But if Euclid already made this for PW, why not just asking him to publish his asm (no need to make redundant work)? It only needs to be adjusted so that the 24 items hud rupee marker is shifted to the left. Inserting a 5th digit is obsolete in my opinion since in contrast to AST you (1) will not be able to collect so many rupees in ALTTP (2) you won't need them (but to be on the save side you should set above code to c9 10 23 (10,000 so the collect stops after 9,999).
As for bombs and arrows (check the maximum 50 or 70 to be able to have 99 in the end). You can cheat for a maximum of 99 (63 at 7e/f377 arrows and 7e/f343 (bombs).
The capacity when collecting however is determined at 7e/f370 (bombs) and 7e/f371 (arrows).
The maximum upgrade by wishing pond of bombs is here:
03/46a7: c9 07 (dunno why it is 07. start with 10 bombs, upgrade in 5 bomb steps it should be 8, except you gain 10 bombs with one upgrade (step 40-50 bombs skipping 45?)
Arrows the same
03/472a: c9 07
It's maybe worth trying to set 7e/f370 and 71 to 09 and check whether you can collect up to 60 bombs and 80 arrows then...
06/dbeb: c9 e8 03 -> ea ea ea (nop out the check that you have 1000 rupees, so the game won't stop counting beyond 999)

Wow, so many info's, i really need to write this down :-).
You're right, 5 digits aren't necessary. But 4 digits were really good since one could make a hack with lot's of hidden rupees and some shops to buy some items.
I will write a pm to Euclid for this.

I like the idea of having 4 digits. Many times while playing Zelda 3 I would end up maxing out at 999 rupees and nothing is worse when you open up a chest that has 300 rupees in it only to find that none of them counted because you were already at the 999 limit.
Wed 25 Sep 2013 - 13:56 by XaserLE
I figured out that it is not really a problem to do it, seems to be quite easy, i am working on this. The only problem is that a patch for this would be hud-depending. Every special hud would need an own patch to draw the fouth digit at the right place and shift the other values (bombs, arrows) if they are drawed near the rupees like in alttp.

Cool, if you manage you could send the infos into the single hacks... guess more projects here would like to have this features.
Off-topic... were you able to develop the introduction messages?

Ok i will try to put it in a patch and post it when finished.
About the messages: Since my last pm i didn't try to do it :-D.....i'm really sorry, i thought i were extremely easy to insert this messages, that was the reason i tried it but as seen it's a really annoying work :-/. If you want to do it i wouldn't be angry ;-) and i think you are a lot faster in finding the unique adresses than me.

Yes, it seems to be a bit more complicated than expected. If SePH tells me how to reach every boss I can give it a shot (2 I already have).
