Chapters

(Tested on PC)

Game One: 0x12C4 Game Two: 0x12C5 Game Three: 0x12C6

To unlock chapters, change the first half of the byte to 0x1 to 0x5. The number you input will indicate how many chapters you've unlocked, from 1 to 5. The last half of the byte doesn't seem to change anything.

Save Games

Each save game has a date and timed starting at 0x1E4, which takes up 19 bytes and repeats for all 7 save files every 0x30 bytes. The section of the game that the save is on is stored starting at 0x210 and then also repeats every 0x30 for all save files.

Please keep in mind that you cannot use that value for changing where you are in the game, it will only affect the text when you load the game from the menu.

Actually altering where you are in the game will take time. Here's what I have so far:

Scenarios

You can somewhat skip through the game by editing the string of text that is stored at 0x26C10? Decoded to UTF-8 it looks something like GS1/scenario/sc1_1_text_u.mdt, mostly likely something stored in the games files which I'll have to take a look at.

Changing that value seemed to drop me off at unexpected points, such as halfway through a cross-examination or a conversation. I also found it's slightly awkward to be dropped in the middle of a trial where you're missing half the evidence.

Evidence

You can edit the evidence in your Court Record at 0x26D1C. Every 4 bytes there is a new entry. The remaining three bytes must be filled with zeros. (e.g. 17 00 00 00 for the Attorney's Badge)

You cannot have more than 1 of each evidence.

Values

Taken from Chapter 2 of the first game. Some or all values may be specific to this chapter only.

• 17 Attorney's Badge
• 18 Mia's Autopsy Report
• 19 Maya's Memo
• 1A Maya's Cell Phone
• 1B Glass Shards
• 1C The Thinker
• 1D The Thinker
  • This one has a different description
• 1E Receipt
  • This one has a bloody note on it

• 22 Photograph (Misty Fey)
• 23 Photograph (Redd White)
• 24 Newspaper Clipping
• 25 Floor plans
• 26 May Testimony
• 27 Mia's Autopsy Report (Vague)
• 28 Mia's Memo
• 29 safe
  • This is just a camera which has title "safe" and has no description
  • Not entirely sure what it is, definitely not in the game normally

Scene

You can temporarily edit the background image that displays, until you have to move a room. Tested in case 2 of game 1, the address was 0x26cf0 and gave the following results:

00 Crime scene 01 Office at day 02 Outside courtroom 03 Defence stand 04 Prosecution stand 05 Witness stand 06 Whole courtroom view 07 View of where Maya usually stands 08 Judge's seat 09 Downstairs office 0A Maya by Mia's corpse 0B Steel samurai studios? 0C More steel samurai? What's it doing in Chapter 2? 0D Rough sketch of Mia's death, used to show angles in court 0E Another angle of the scene mentioned above

I didn't test any other scenes, I imagine they will change depending on the case you're in.

To create a custom resolution, take your resolution (e.g. 1280x720), convert each number to hexidecimal (e.g. 05 00, 02 D0), and then flip the pair (e.g. 00 05, D0 02).

Note: The resolution must be in 16:9 aspect ratio, or the game will default back to 1280x720.

Values

All values can be taken from Windows Virtual-Key Codes

On Android version(v1.00.01)

Because I don’t know the English name of the game, I can only use Game 1 to represent it, and the Chinese name is also included for identification.The following content has been tested in the Simplified Chinese language game. Other languages are unknown but should be the same.

The chapter address would be 0x12C8 for Game 1(《逆转裁判 复苏的逆转》)

By analogy, Game 2(《逆转裁判 2》) is 0x12C9 and Game 3(《逆转裁判 3》) is 0x12CA.

The value of 0x12C9 cannot be 50 or greater, because an empty chapter bug will occur like this.

The date of saved file No. 1 is located at address 00096800, and more content has not been explored.
