Cheat extensions for desmume?

Hello, which is the correct extension for using cheat on DeSmuME?

.cht .xml cheat.db

All cheats for retroarch have to be in the retroarch database format, which is just a simple file with all of the cheats inside. You can look at the other existing ones to see how it works:

Fake Mic Blow (L Button) 94000130 FDFF0000 220B5308 0000005F D2000000 00000000

Fake Mic Blow (R Button) 94000130 FEFF0000 220B5308 0000005F D2000000 00000000

cant makes this codes to work

Yeah, I have the same problem. I don’t know the format for typing the cheat codes. The examples are just single line codes, while Desmume’s AR codes are all multi lines.

From the looks of https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database/blob/master/cht/Super%20Nintendo%20Entertainment%20System/Super%20Metroid.cht The syntax for multiple codes is : cheat0_code = “7E090002+C27E0432”

Though there are no examples as yet of DS codes I would guess they would be something like: cheat0_code = “94000130FDFF0000+220B53080000005F+D200000000000000”

Nope, doesn’t work.

cant makes this codes to work[/QUOTE] In the nightly builds of this core there is a blow in the mic button mapped to RetroPad L3. So you don’t really need that code if that’s all it does.

hi…i have the same problem but it doesnt concern mic blowing stuff…the cheat itself…is there a proper format?..been trying for a while…

format stated by omni works on snes,nes,and ps1 games but doesnt work on nintendo ds… help please?

im playing ragnarok ds us version… using the ar codes for us version game like: max money 94000130 FFFB0000 6214B53C 00000000 B214B53C 00000000 00000000 05F5E0FF D2000000 00000000

so in cheat db it should come out like this: cheat0_desc = “max money(select)” cheat0_code = “94000130+FFFB0000+6214B53C+00000000+B214B53C+00000000+00000000+05F5E0FF+D2000000+00000000” cheat0_enable = false

doesnt seem to work…

help please?

I have the Collection of RA Cheats for DS in the “RetroArch Cheats.zip”. Have not tested them yet.

Did you ever get around to testing them? How’d it go?

It all depends if RA will Accept the Codes. RA uses .cht Extension, and they have to be layed out a certain way. Some Codes I tested for other System are for Specific Games, I try them, and they do not work. So it depends on Core (some use different Code Layouts, or Cheat Codes (GameShark, AR, you name it). Example - Beetle Saturn. I tried the RA provided Cheat Database in the folder Sega Saturn, and no Cheats worked for any Game, but when I went to the Start of the Folder List, it had a Beetle Saturn Folder which did work.

Best thing I could suggest is go to GameHacking.org , find the Game, Filter for AR, then DL only the Cheats you want in Libretro (.cht) Format they have available. Then put in your RetroArch Cheat Directory and Test it out. If it works, awesome. If not, may have to try and see if the CodeBreaker-GameGenie Version works.
