Trying to figure out how to make cheats work on GameYob, I found this thread, but unfortunately, the links there are long since down and poorly archived. I tried to find those "existing cheat packs" Drenn claimed to exist, but it would seem that due to BGB having long since fallen out of fashion, no cheat packs I could find match the format.

So, like a normal person, I went and made a basic little html thing that can convert .cht files stolen from the Libretro Database into something that'll work on my DS. I've attached the converter to this post as 'Cheat_Converter.zip'. I really wouldn't recommend using it because it's kinda terrible and I'm not entirely sure if it works properly at all. Really, it's just the consequences of coding in notepad. If you do for some reason choose to use it, maybe don't try to convert more than 500 files at once, it kinda crashed my file explorer when I did that. I also only know it works with Firefox on Windows. If you have something else, pray.

Anyhow, I went and pruned the output files, renamed them to match the No-Intro set, and attached them to this post as 'GameYob_Cheats.zip'. Remember that they have to be in the same directory and match the file name of the rom (except for the extension) to work in GameYob. I have no idea how or if these will work in BGB because I am too lazy to download it and check. I also didn't check all the output files, so some of the cheats are probably bugged. As well, if there are multiple cheats in a row that all have the same name, you have to activate all of them for the cheat to work.

Seem to work just fine, but I've only tried one game so far (Konami GB Collection Vol. 1) so I'll report back if others are weird. Seems promising though, thank you so much!
