I would also like to make a code that gets it's values from another code so that it persists through loading zones. Is there any way of doing that and if so, could someone explain it please. Sorry if this has been answered already.
A better way of explaining what I need to do is that I only really need to know how to have a code that reads a value at a certain address.
example:
GET XXXXXXXX FROM YYYYYYYY
YYYYYYYY = XXXXXXXX
END
This would allow any kind of code that gets reset when the game loads to stay at the same value after it's finished loading.

Can't you just set the offset that changes through a loading screen to a static number?
By this I mean just changing the offset and keeping the cheat activated?
Also after some testing i've realised that the F1 code does allow adding but its really fast (sort of) for example in majoras mask 3d eur:
Code:
DD000000 00000400
F1776318 00000001Oh then you'll have to look for pointers and as for that you're going to have to investigate yourself. But heres a video that could help you out:
Its the first video I found so I don't know if it would help.

I'm basically trying to take the code that adds to a value when a button is pressed and have it's value persist through load zones that would reset it. I'm using it on the player's scale value in the game Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon as a test so that I can use it in other games and for other addresses once it works.
That's alright, I honestly didn't think anyone would know how to do it.
(EDIT)
I found a way to do it, or at least a start! It looks like this:
One thing that definitely be changed if possible is the ZL+Right check. If at all possible it could check if the value at the address is back to it's default and then set it back to it's previous value.
EDIT 2
We might be able to drop the storage bits if we use
D2000000 00000001
to exit the code WITHOUT clearing the data
Final Edit
I got it fully working! it's a bit messy though, so feel free to clean it up if you want.
It requires 1 address that gets reset between load zones (NOT THE ONE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SAVE)
here is the full working code:
STORAGE BETWEEN LOADING ZONES
*a float should be stored as a 4 byte value with a hex value of 3F800000 if the default value is 1.000
(EDIT)

Code:
D3000000 089EFC00 --- Sets offset 1
DD000000 00004020 --- Checks for ZL+Left (this will need to be changed to get it fully working)
D9000000 0000009C --- Sets Data#1 to the value at [0000009C + offset]
DF000002 00020000 --- Copies Data#1 to Storage#1 (not sure if required)
D0000000 00000000 --- End if
DD000000 00004010 --- Checks for ZL+Right (can be changed to whatever)
DF000002 00010000 --- copies storage#1 to data#1
D6000000 0000009C --- writes the value at [0000009C+offset] to the value at data#1
D2000000 00000000 --- End allOne thing that definitely be changed if possible is the ZL+Right check. If at all possible it could check if the value at the address is back to it's default and then set it back to it's previous value.

Hello!
I´ve done all (maybe not) the steps and get this working, but no cheats appear when I touch Action Replay through the games. I´ve downloaded the DB from github and try within the folders with the game name inside sd:\cheats, won´t work. Tryied to move all the .txt files for sd:\cheats but won´t work either. Any hint?

ah, I thought the pattern "00040000000D9D00.txt" already was the game ID, so I´ll make some research. Thanks, buddy!!
Edit: No, all the txt files are using correct title ID according to my research. weird...

I ran into problems trying to use cheats on a cartridge. Maybe your doing the same?
I downloaded the same game and the cheats seemed to work fine iirc.
Also some homebrew apps might use sd:/cheats, I think there might be an alternative folder struc to use? Been a while since I set it up.
Maybe try making a blank cheat in the game you are trying to get cheats for and then replace the .txt that that makes? I can't think of much else, unless you have the plugin itself in the wrong folder.
Are you using the EUR or US version of Altered beasts?
Oh and if you are I should also mention that the text file only contains one cheats so it would be easier to type and create the cheat instead of hassling yourself messing with files.

One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better. -
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
-
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G. -

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
