And thanks to all the people who made the AR DS codes -- very tedious work.lol some of these codes in the trainers looks like codes that i hacked for cbds/ards (zelda mainly) if you copy pasted addresses you should at least give credits to who found them ;p
I did. It's in the first post of the thread. It's much more than a copy and paste though. Wish it was that easy.

No, you're right. Cheat code making is an involved task and the creators should be named. Hopefully I got them all.
i wish somebody could teach me how to make action replay codes ds codesall i see is

I really admire the people who can

First you need to understand codes for older systems. And I strongly suggest you learn to cheat with VBA first as it is far more amenable to this (emulation is better/faster/more stable for one). I can say with near certainty everyone who makes cheats started on more well understood/better emulated systems.
1. Game inbuilt: up, down, left, right, hold a and press start sort of thing.
2. Game Genie: These are codes that alter what the console "reads" from a card/disc/iso/whatever. Normally they are limited to ASM type hacks which involve you finding the opcode that looses you a life and altering them but you can do anything with them (walk on water, raise the max ammo in a gun, characters speed.....). Very loosely this is what cracker and bleep are effectively doing but in a more permanent manner.
3. Action replay: at say 03002F0 in the memory there is a value, it corresponds to your life/number of bullets/apples/monkeys/whatever. By holding it at a value rather than letting it be changed you have a cheat. The rest is just encoding it.
All you really have to do is fire a bullet and see what has changed (90% of the time it will be given a 7 if you have 7 bullets (or the hexadecimal equivalent for higher numbers).
Start with a simple game (more complex ones employ tactics to make it harder: pokemon, final fantasy, some mario games, megaman titles are good examples of ones to avoid at first).
Three links should bring you up to speed:
Basics and some GBA implementation:

Theory (and DS implementation, possibly a tad outdated):
http://doc.kodewerx.net/index.html
Advanced (and some initial stuff):
http://etk.scener.org/?op=tutorial
Also it does not hurt to have an idea of the basic GBA/DS hardware:

Custom version of VBA with a focus on hacking you might like at some point:

Unfortunately I still don't have much time to make trainers for games. Other games are time consuming enough to make trainers for but RPGs really suck up the time because I have to wade through all the text and then get to a battle to test the stuff out. Not to mention that recent games don't run at a feasible rate on no$gba (which is what I to trace the program and find places to hook into). I would really like to make a trainer for all the games you guys have requested but I simply don't have the time.
I need infinate money to buy all the cars mwahahahaha sigh, i wish i own a real car lol
and Welcome back Cracker! you are a GOD.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
-
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a patched ROM -
