any help would be great.

thank you

i got cheats working. i used the cht files from zophar, [www.zophar.net]. however, i tried making my own cht files through fce on the pc but for some strange reason the cheat files made in fce on the pc had no effect (did not work) with the wii version of the same emulator?!?!?!?! but if you use the cheats from zophar it will work, but you'll be limited to the cheats they have available.

using cheats from the PC version worked fine for me.

Do you mean,cheats created by you?
If that is the case,can you tell us how,please?

yes. please do. what i mean by making my own in fce is using the game genie decoder/converter and adding the converted cheats to the list, then closing the emulator, taking the cht file out of the cheats folder in fce, moving it to the same folder on my sd for fce ultra wii and enabling the cheats. i've tried with a few different games and the result is all the same...they don't work in the wii version but work in the pc version.

Is the name of the file .nes.cht or .cht? It should be just .cht

Hi Tantric. The file name is 'RomName.cht'.

And then it should be placed in fceugx/cheats

did that. like i said, the cheats from zophar's domain work fine but the ones i make from converted game genie codes in win32 fce ultra do not work at all in fce ultra gx. i've tried with quite a few different games to make sure it wasn't just a 'bad code'. but my logic tells me there has to be a reason why they work in the win32 version but not the wii version. i mean they were made by the win32 version of the 'same' emulator. it's just ram patching and if the code is patching the same line in both emulators...then...why...doesn't...it...work? is the cheat system just ported over from the win32 source or is it from 'scratch' and different? i'm not the only one experiencing this. after a quick search i even found someone that created a yahoo answers post about it, [answers.yahoo.com].

Ah, well perhaps the "problem" is just that I haven't enabled Game Genie codes.

then it's a problem with the gg->cht converter in fce ultra, why not posting the content of these files here ?

Now if I use this cheat nothing happens
Sa3cc:af:NXKXGLIE
but the full name will be displayed as "NXKXGLIE"

off course it doesnt't, like Tantric said, the emulator uses .cht files, not raw Game Genie codes
cht file format is the following:

AAAA:VV:ssssss

with:
AAAA = address to patch in hexadecimal format (0000-FFFF with probably some restrictions on the addresses you can patch)
VV = data to patch in hexadecimal format (00-FF)
ssssss = string that gives cheat description (there is probably a limit in the number of characters)

Game Genie codes have a different format which is described here for the NES version.. It does not seems the compare value is supported by cht files, they apply the data patch without checking the original value.

Now, to convert Game Genie codes into an address/value couple that could be used in a .cht file, you can apparently use this little applet which is compatible with various GG format

hi tantric. i have seen the change log for today on google code. thanks a lot man. you rule! i patiently await the next build.

@ekeeke

Sa3cc:af:NXKXGLIE

If you look at this cheat it is NOT a game genie code. The "S" is part of the fceu cheat handling system that implies the cheat is of the substitution variety. There is also another option "C" which can be placed after the "S" to denote a comparison value cheat. This is followed by a standard hex address then the replacement value and a comparison value if necessary. The game genie code is used as the name of the cheat. I am well aware of a number of means to convert game genie codes to hex address and I used one to create this cheat.

@Tantric

If you took offense to the term "problem" please accept my apologies. But there is something wrong with your code. As I mentioned the first letter of the cheat name is missing in the display and substitution cheats aren't handled correctly. Neither of these has to do with game genie codes.

Ok, I think I've found the bug with this.

A bit of good news, I can confirm that these changes work, as I tested them myself last night. (You will need the latest/trunk libogc from devkitpro's SVN in order to compile.)

Thanks for finding the bug so fast. I built the latest SVN checkout. Substitution cheat are working and the complete cheat name is displayed. It is amazing what a big difference two character can make.

Also I tested the game genie functionality and it worked great.

Hey,
I just updated to 3.0.8. Do I put the Game Genie rom in a folder called 'gg.rom,' or do I rename it to gg.rom and place it in root:\fceugx?
Thanks

Edit:: Also, how do I get the Game Genie rom to load with a game? All what I can get it to do is load by itself, and all it does is reset every time I enter codes

Edit2:: The emulator now loads 'Mario Adventure.' Hooray! But I still don't know how the GG works.
