I realize that this is different from RAM searching, I just want to know how I can do it. I want to do this to create my own cheat codes in games. I will find patterns myself if that takes a lot of time to explain. A site explaining it, a program. Anything at all. I've searched the internet and I can't manage to find anything pertaining to this subject specifically. I've seen stuff about what the meaning of certain words or phrases mean, but that's about all.
Thread title: 
Can someone at least give me an idea of what I am looking for? ROM hacking? Code creation? Anything? I've searched and it comes up with garbage.
Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
I'm not sure I 100% understand what you're after.  Are you looking to just find your own cheats for games?  Things like infinite lives or energy?  Or are you looking for something deeper, which alters a game's mechanics?
Altering game mechanics. Sorry, I just didn't know the words for them. Maybe some hints as to find patterns and what they affect?
Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
(ASSUMING SNES!)
Well, most people would start using something like Geiger's snes9x debugger.  It'll allow you run the game, and view which parts of the game's code is being altered as it's running.  You can then progress from there with altering those pieces of code.  However, if you're looking to do any serious alterations to coding then you'd be looking at ASM, which is an entire programming language in itself.
Just looking for stuff pertaining to things such as the Camera I mentioned earlier. I was attempting to find a way to get Leo without cheating. I already knew that the screens looped and using the RAM search, I was able to learn more about it. Unfortunately, the code seems to dictate that not a single exit event can happen apart from the buildings inside the town. You can use the Walkthrough Walls cheat to find Narshe and even the World of Ruin, but you can't exit any of the areas. Thanks for the info, this I hope will be very enjoyable.

I highly recommend taking a look at this board. This is on one of the main forums for code creators for the Wii.

http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php?&board=7.0

This is the Wii Game Hacking help board and it has a bit of info about Wii Ram hacking which is similar to how you would hack other games and systems.

Personally I find reverse engineering a whole lot easier if you actually know how to do some engineering yourself. I work full time in software development but also help out with DevOps. A lot of my DevOps work is using WinDbg.
