Code Text Formats

[rimsky82]

In order to continue renovating and tidying the database for better code support, I tidied up codes, especially in the older systems.

For instance, NES codes like "000036 FF" have been turned into "0036:FF". The preceding zeroes never made sense anyway, since the NES's memory doesn't go that high.

As always, a lot was changed, intentionally for the better. Hopefully things weren't screwed up too bad, but report here if they were.

Next step is to run a re-decode script, or have the site decode on the fly. One or the other. Then after I decide that, fix the export scripts for code files. Three cheers for improvement? This place can use some positivity.

So everyone knows, I've already started editing the file export scripts. I will be fixing and testing each one. It may take a while.

Master system and Game Gear action replay codes have been truncated:

Solomon no Kagi - Oujo Rihita no Namida (Japan) (SMS)

00C4A9:09 Infinite Lives
00C493:99 Infinite Time (1 of 2)
00C494:99 Infinite Time (2 of 2)

now show in the database as:

00C4:09 Infinite Lives
00C4:99 Infinite Time (1 of 2)
00C4:99 Infinite Time (2 of 2)

Ugh. I was afraid of that.

Thanks.

[rimsky82]

I fixed it, and sorry if you noticed the site was down for a few minutes.

Export scripts for 32x, atari 2600, cdi, fds, nes, gb, gbc, gba, genesis and gamegear have been fixed. Maybe not perfect, but nonetheless functional. More when I get time.

EDIT: just the nes mess script, since it was identical to fds. Not the rest yet.

Fixed up cheat file exports for nes, n64, and all mess scripts. 7 scripts left, then I'll look into new ones.

[Sly Hedgehog]

can you fixed the snes export? because when i select some codes for Super Bonk-

http://gamehacking.org/?game=44697

and it give a error instead

[rimsky82]

All of the export scripts should now be functional. Including snes, Sly.

Done. I believe they are correct, though I may not get to testing until tomorrow. I don't have a Super Everdrive, just a sd2snes and a ufo pro 8, so you'll have to test that one.

I got me a NES EverDrive, and found out that your implemented text download is not correct.

According to this thread, you have to split up the Game Genie codes with a dash.

I manually edited the codes in the .txt and confirmed that's how it should be.

[rimsky82]

Thanks Mez, I never did get around to testing.

Fixed.
