INVALID GAME GENIE CODE FORMAT

[fathi-1000]

There are some GameBoy game genie codes not in the universal format xxx-xxx-xxx.
for example in this link here we have "Buy Anything From Shop For Free 008-3C8", and we see that this code format is xxx-xxx, and it's not acceptable in some emulators.
so how to make it in the universal format without losing the effect ??

It's valid. If the emulator doesn't accept it, it's the emulator's fault.

The other three digits make up a compare byte. You'd have to look in the rom for the correct byte, and then re-encrypt.

it's hard for me
so i have used this RAW code:

Infinite Money RAW
019947D3
019948D3
019949D3

By the way, "RAW code = GameShark code", is that correct ?

Those look like Game Shark codes not Game Genie codes, and raw means the Game Genie code decrypted not Game Shark as they are 2 totally different devices with different code formats.

Ok
But if you serched for "Infinite Money 019947D3 019948D3 019949D3" on google, you will find them as GameShark codes, look here.

You are partially correct. They are GameShark codes, but they are not raw, decrypted Game Genie Codes. It's impossible to encrypt that code into Game Genie format because you cannot explicitly convert RAM to ROM. Your only solution is to write that money code in ASM.
