Need a guide or a fully walkthru on how to modify/rebuild psx games

I was wondering if there is a guide out there to show us how to actually modify a psx games. For example, in Castlevania SOTN; I would like to know how we can find the real offset of starting hp/mp/hearts, store selling offsets and its price, etc... Once we have the offset; I need to know how we go about applying the changes to the game. I saw some post mention to use hex editor; others uses ppf, but there is really never a guide out there to walk a person from point A to point B at all. Much appreciated.

You can use an Xplorer and find memory changes to then lock or change the values, but the proper way is to find the function in the code by disassembling the machine code from the game and alter it. You need to know MIPS in order to do this and how the PSX CPU works, so this is why there are no 'guides' available. It's not an easy task and this is when you get into the realm of advanced software reversing.

is it possible to combine xplorer and the game together so I don't have to do a disk swap if that is the case?
