    Hi Guys,
    No one seems to have any help on gbatemp, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out with this. I'm trying to find a way to use cheats on the nesds emulator (latest version) on a dsi (using a supercard dstwo). Here is the explanation:

    I've been trying to convert game genie codes to use with the nesds cheat system, but I've run into a problem. I am using the cheat converter within nestopia to get the hex equivalent of the 8 letter code.

    here is the example (a code for the nes game athena)

    gg code: GZUZLISA

    hex data:

    address: 0xA533 value: 0x24 compare: 0x85

    The *problem* is that when you add a code in the nesds cheat system, you only have 3 places to enter data for the address (0x000), so I cannot enter the "0xA533". I'm thinking there may be other problems, too since on the nesds system you only have "address" and "value" whereas the generator also gives me the "compare" field. I'm completely ignorant when it comes to programming/coding beyond html/css. Could someone please let me know if it's possible to convert the above hex data into a code usable by the nesds system?
