Hacking ARDS code that doesn't work under k2.0RC11

[Mbmax]

Hi there.
It's time to improve the cheat engine on the kernel 2.0 series.
I have made a thread for that on USA ezflash forum, please participate to improve this :

You can report also in this thread.

Thanks.

will do some quick test during weekend on some of the latest games

i remember xiaogaoqqqq used to mention that activator doesn't work well

Seems that the ezv has the best cheat engine ever in this kernel 2.0.

No report, mean no problem. I'm glad.

I did some test on the following setup:-
DSL
EZVi+RC15
PKMN S/S (U)

----

Some of the problems i am going to report here might not be new

so mind my findings

1st) it doesn't display all cheats for a game

i think the max it can display is 280-290 codes! (not sure they count by codes or size of the DB)
on my case it displayed 289 of them
at least 400 codes codes and more are missing

2nd) it executed a code perfectly that contains

activator (4 activators)
IF condition (7 code type)
DataReg (D4 code type)
Load and Store (D8 D9 code type)

3rd) executed 9 activator codes at one go

no problem

4th) nitpicking

i don't like they use A and B for save + cancel on the cheat menu!
people like me doesn't like touch screen

5th) LAG

after open a folder! whenever i want to scroll through the folders
i tend to get a few seconds lag

it takes a while for them to load the cheat database (not very long)
but at least some indication they are loading would be good

6th) White Screen

tried loading 25 codes at one go (all activators) and i get a white screen when boot
1-3 of them was not activator

problem identified

it wasn't the amount of code
it was the length of code

i am not going to test the amount of codes it can be executed
unless the line of codes problem can be addressed in the upcoming firmware

-----------

i won't further test it, until they can fix the white screen problem
thats all for the latest RC15

thoughts? the cheat engine its definitely better than before
but the menu is kinda slow and not friendly for newbies

Thanks elixirdream for your test. I appreciate your help.

I will report this post to ez team when they are back from holidays.

Ps : be sure to have tested with last RC15 (ez5sys.bin CRC B5A1B186). A last minute bug was found and RC15 has been re-uploaded this afternoon GMT+1.
