This is a great thread. I was manually entering the codes for the games that I had to play. I've frequently come across a minor typing area in the code rar files that should be corrected however.

It's a minor change, but overall it will cut down the code lists tremendously, especially on larger games. The item mod codes specifically with games that boast a high number of playable characters.

The error I see is this.

This is a sample from Valkyrie Profile.

"Aelia Codes\Weapon Modifier
801E08D4 0???
$000 Nothing
$001 Elixir
$002 Banish
$003 Union Plume
$004 Prime Elixir
$005 Prime Banish
$006 Noble Elixir
$007 Noble Banish
$008 Spectacles
$009 Creation Gem
$00A Creation Jewel

Not much by itself, but when you have this with every single character, it can darn sure pile up into a ton of lines.
To cut this short, a much simpler method of writing it would be like this.

#Valkyrie Profile#SCUS-00000
&VPWEAP
$000 Nothing
$001 Elixir
$002 Banish
$003 Union Plume
$004 Prime Elixir
$005 Prime Banish
$006 Noble Elixir
$007 Noble Banish
$008 Spectacles
$009 Creation Gem
$00A Creation Jewel
"Aelia Codes\Weapon Modifier
801E08D4 0???
%VPWeap

Now the list of items that fill in the Weapon Modifier slot occurs only a single time, at the very top of the code list.
Then on every character with the weapon modifier code, you just put the code, and below that the %VPWeap line, this would shorten some of the codelists a lot, lowering the size, significantly for the Valkyrie Profile list.
