-- Cheats --
Currently, gpSP supports some functionality of Gameshark/Pro Action Replay
cheat codes. To use these, you must first make a file with the same name
as the ROM you want the cheat code to apply to, but with the extension .cht.
To write a code, write the type of model it is, gameshark_v1, gameshark_v3,
PAR_v1, or PAR_v3. gameshark_v1/PAR_v1 and gameshark_v3/PAR_v3 respectively
are interchangeable, but v1 and v3 are not! So if you don't know which
version it is, try both to see if it'll work.
Then, after that, put a space and put the name you'd like to give the cheat.
On the next several lines, put each cheat code pair, which should look like
this:
AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB
Then put a blank line when you're done with that code, and start a new code
immediately after it. Here's an example of what a cheat file should look
like:
gameshark_v3 MarioInfHP
995fa0d9 0c6720d2
gameshark_v3 MarioMaxHP
21d58888 c5d0e432
gameshark_v3 InfHlthBat
6f4feadb 0581b00e
79af5dc6 5ce0d2b1
dbbd5995 44b801c9
65f8924d 2fbcd3c4
gameshark_v3 StopTimer
2b399ca4 ec81f071
After you have written the .cht file, you have to enable the cheats
individually in the game menu. Go to the Cheats/Misc menu, and you will
see the cheats; turn them on here. You may turn them on and off as you
please, but note that some cheats may still hold after you turn them off,
due to the nature of the system. Restart to completely get rid of them.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is still very work in progress! I basically added this in only 1.5
or so hours, and I don't have a lot of time right now to work on it
before releasing. So I'll probably improve it later.
Not all of gameshark's features are supported, especially for v3. Only
basic cheats will work, more or less.
Cheats may be unstable and may crash your game. If you're having problems
turn the cheats off.
Really, there's no guarantee that ANY cheats will work; I tried a few and
some seem to work, others are questionable. Try for yourself, but don't
expect anything to actually work right now. Do expect this feature to
improve in future versions.
