Converting VisualBoyAdvance Codes to Codebreaker

[Cell2071]

New here, so sorry if this is the wrong forum to be asking about this. Anyway, I was able to create some codes/cheats using VBA-M, however, I'm pretty sure they work only for VBA-M. I'm wondering if there's a way to convert them to the Codebreaker format.

Yes, is possible.
What VBA-M code you want convert to codebreaker format..

I have some codes I made for Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost age. Should I just post them here?

[zero69]

Yeah, you can post them here

[Cell2071]

Okay. Well, here are some stat modifier codes I made in VBA-M for 4 of the characters:

Felix
HP - 02000a60
PP - 02000a62
Atk - 02000a68
Def - 02000a6a
Agi - 02000a6c

Jenna
HP - 02000bac
PP - 02000bae
Atk - 02000bb4
Def - 02000bb6
Agi - 02000bb8

Sheba
HP - 02000cf8
PP - 02000cfa
Atk - 02000d00
Def - 02000d02
Agi - 02000d04

Piers
HP - 02000e44
PP - 02000e46
Atk - 02000e4c
Def - 02000e4e
Agi - 02000e50

I don't know if it matters which version of VBA-M I used, but I used VBA-M SVN1490. Also, I'm very new to this, so I don't know how well these codes work if, say, you're at the beginning of the game and you want to try to make your characters super powerful from the get-go. I've been using them as I've been playing the game to make small changes to their stats.

Also, this is off-topic to the discussion, but I've been having an audio issue with VBA-M. Is that something I can ask about here (not this forum specifically necessarily but just somewhere on the site in general)?

just add codetype on 1st digit like so
8bit write for value less than 255 (FF)
32000e44 0063
16bit write for value greater than 256 (0100)
82000e44 270F

what kind audio issue you having?

[Cell2071]

Thank you. I'll give that a try then and see if it works (I'm assuming it will though since I've seen plenty of other codes with a similar format as those).

As for the audio issue, when I try to use XAudio2 for the Output API, it says "The XAudio2 interface failed to initialize!". And while I get sound with DirectSound, the audio feels laggy/delayed to me. There's also another option called "OpenAL", but when I select it I get "OpenAL32.dll could not be found on your system." This is on the older version of VBA-M which I kinda prefer personally. When using the most current version of VBA-M, XAudio2 still doesn't work, and both DirectSound and SDL still feel kinda laggy/delayed to me.

DirectSound you need play with some settings, i dont remember

you need download / update

DirectX for XAudio2

OpenAL32.dll

Well converting the codes I posted to Codebreaker worked for me, as did the download for the XAudio2 fix. Thanks!
