Cheating codes are free, but that doesn't mean they are worthless; they represent a significant investment of the author's time and effort. Yet, when authors share their work for free, they don't even get a simple "thank you"; instead, they are subjected to various kinds of mockery.
Thus, now everyone should understand why Kaito chose a more cumbersome method to share his cheating codes, and why my teacher Eiffel2018 decided to stop sharing cheating codes altogether—there are simply too many people who do not respect them.
There will always be those who enjoy playing with others' creations while mocking the very people who provided them with these enjoyments behind their backs.

I will translate this.
"I won't update any other features. There are people on GBAtemp who plagiarize code, and there are also those who make sarcastic remarks just because they don't need it. It's extremely unpleasant.""
Thank you for your posting here with the translation and that you reach out to us. Very honorable.
I was also involved in many postings starting with the leaks and cheat requests (but more on a learning perspective) the last days...
I apologise when some persons or creator of the cheats in the Chinese forums are angry or sad that they do not get the thank you or consideration they earn from their great and inspiring work.
Maybe I did some errors also in asking if someone could download and deliver the cheats or plugins/overlays here as well due to the language barrier. They sound so exciting when I copy pasted the feature list on the first page into a translation tool. At that moment I thought it was such a shame that I don't speak Chinese and I am not capable of logging in and asking for the cheats on my own.
Or more... Asking how the creator achieved it and the steps involved for repeating the findings for myself - I know, I am the minority when it comes to understand and learn from the very best persons in reverse engineering and their are other persons on the table who only want to ask for cheats to play the game - doesn't matter who created it.
But I think that is also part of the game... And to use approx. 1 or 2 voices here in the forum that the creator's work is not respected is a pity and gives a false image of the community as a whole. I am more think, that the community have chances nowadays to grow together and that people help each other out but of course one or two voices have to be ignored (disrespectful persons are not many but they exist) in that process.
The creator should not end their work to update the cheats here, I would suggest more into the direction of participating and learn from each other. Okay unfair, I am a beginner but I am sure here are also members around who doing good stuff and findings and love to share their expertise!
Ah you mentioned Eiffel...
I hesitated the last days to reach out to Eiffel because I am not very long here in the cheat creator thingy and read through his past tutorials a few times and hoped fervently (is the word correct?) that he is also starting a thread with his foudings in the game and that I can ask for his advise on a few topics here (Unreal Engine stuff, using of IDA vs Ghidra, my favorite request on achieving the loading of not originally from game developer considered Echoes into the summoned monsters etc.)
At the end of the day, as you wrote that Eiffel2018 was your mentor, I also want to be a mentor one day
We can end here but it makes my head spin
Maybe it was my translation of the json of the overlay cheats who makes the creator angry about that? Or should I credited the name of the creator in the translation also?
But it was pitty that the translations were only available in chinese and not english and german (my first language)
But as you see, it is only speculation on my side who has not respected the boundaries at the end. Or is it that the cheats should stay in the forum where their orininally was posted? I am not fully getting it, sorry.
Or can the person which raises the term "plagiat" explain why he or she feeling in such way?
I saw cheats here which were inspired by the feature list of the chinese forum like "speed increase in special circumstances" but is it plagiat when the inspiration of cheat codes are also motivating other creators to find similar results? I can not decide if codes were stolen at the end.
Please reach out to the persons and tell them my apologize!
