Trouble Shooting

1. Why my new codes doesn't work?
   A: On most cases, they are pointer cheat codes that can be recognized from the logs window. Please update these cheats with EdiZon SE and SE tools.
2. Why my new codes break the game?
   A: Game developer will make a huge change for some specific version of games, like adding new function or improving code efficiency. In these cases, the ASM cheat codes need to be refind.
