Game Genie Guy!

Oh I'm kidding. I just woke up early this morning and did this instead of sleeping. : )

Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Okay, how about when IPS is checked it only creates an IPS patch instead a patched ROM?

[Kyle]

I could have it delete the patched rom?

That sounds good.

I appreciate the extra work you did on it, thanks a lot.

[Kyle]

Added a log reset button because I wanted one.

I ended up leaving the IPS thing as is after testing it. Hopefully this isn't a big deal. The way CCCGP creates an IPS can be problematic because it does so before checking if the rom has a header. Mine makes the patched rom then builds it off the difference in it and the original.

I have no idea
what I doing wrong
check mark the Make IPS
I don't see any ips file except for patch rom

Do you have ucon64.exe in the same directory? If not it won't work, this is a needed file.

Download ucon64-2.0.0-win32-mingw-bin.zip and extract ucon64.exe to same folder as GGGuy.exe

[Kyle]

Thanks for feedback. I should add some prompts to download ucon64. I should also ask them if they care if I bundle it. It is open source like GGG is but hasn't been updated since 2005.

[lee4]

good idea

prompts you need ucon64 when check mark Make IPS

if no one have no problem include ucon64 with GGGuy please do

also you should include full changelog text file

[Kyle]

Okay I added some checks and notifications when ucon64 is missing.

I can do a changelog if you really want. I hadn't touched this in several months until someone told me a particular SNES game wasn't working.

[lee4]

just do something like this

Uses ucon64 for the IPS creation. Please test and let me know of issues.

03-17-2014
Fixed a SNES bug today that affected Battletoads in Battlemaniacs. If you've had any SNES issues please redownload.

01-24-2014
I upped the line count for the world's longest Game Genie code.

01-22-2014
Added Nintendo (Alt) and Game Boy/Gear (Alt) options. With 6 digit codes this patches only the first offset rather than all potential offsets. If the default doesn't work or cause the game to crash try this.

01-20-2014
Added another small feature. Multiple codes can be on a single line, separated with a + sign. This allow you to use codes like this without splitting them into multiple lines. Both " + " and "+" are valid. 

01-19-2014
New version is up with Master System and PC Engine support (using supplied codes). Both systems are tested against No-Intro roms but should adjust the offset if a header is found with Good roms etc.

01-17-2014
This is a small Windows utility for applying Game Genie codes to roms. This saves you the trouble of having to enter them each time the game is played.

[Kyle]

Nice! That looks about right. I'll include that in the GGGuy.txt the next time I update.

Is there anything else we need? I was thinking about having it create a txt file with the used codes. I am not really ambitious enough to do any kind of database or website integration.

[47iscool]

Can't get it create an IPS for ExciteBike, I'm guessing maybe because the game is only 24KB this tool won't create the patch. However it does create the patched ROM.

[Kyle]

Are you getting output in the results field at the bottom? If not it means there are no matches. I can't get this game to take codes (also fails with CCCGP and ucon64). I'll figure out why.

Edit: Try this build please. This should allow roms under 48KB to use 8 digit codes. Let me know if you have issues. I tried it on a few different smaller games with success.

Edit2: I tried a lot of smaller games and they all worked. If you want a very exciting copy of Excite Bike try this block. There's a lot of fun codes on this site. My kiddo was laughing hard when we played it like this.

Fixed an issue where many Legend of Zelda codes weren't applying. This should help other codes that previously didn't work. Hopefully that's it for a while.

[Kyle]

There was another build for SMB3 wonky codes. Next came Game Boy Color support. It is cool you guys made Game Genie codes for GBC even though that wasn't supported by hardware.

I also updated the Master System codes file since I've been getting hit up for those.
