Hacking Guide: Make SNES CHT files for the DSTwo.

<div align="center">Supercard DSTwo SNES CHT files</div>

This guide will show you how to convert PAR (Pro Action Replay) codes into the CHT format that the SNES emulator on the Supercard DSTwo uses.

We'll be using the (U) ROM of Super Mario World for the example.

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>7E001902</div>
This is the code for the "always have a cape" cheat, that modifies Mario's current powerup status.

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>[Code Name Here]
Option 1=ADDR,VALUE
Option 2=ADDR,VALUE
Option 3=ADDR,VALUE

[Code that changes more than one address]
Option 1=ADDR1,VALUE1;ADDR2,VALUE2;ADDR3,VALUE3

[GameInfo]
Name=Game name.
System=SFC
Text=Notes here.</div>

Ahh...this post is messed up. I converted it from HTML to BBCode and added a few edits to make it a bit more legible. Great guide. Not sure why it wasn't stickied or referenced on this thread.

If you find this too difficult, here are some pre-made .CHT files by MightyMo that have been posted here before on GBATemp.

Supercard DSTwo SNES CHT files

This guide will show you how to convert PAR (Pro Action Replay) codes into the CHT format that the SNES emulator on the Supercard DSTwo uses.

We'll be using the (U) ROM of Super Mario World for the example.
Click SHOW to view the guide.

How to convert.

Open up Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (Mac OS X), or some other simple text editor and paste the SNES PAR code in. Do not use Microsoft Word or any other fancy document editing program!

We can break a PAR cheat code down into three segments:

7E001902 (Bank Address Value)

The first segment, (the Bank) is not needed. Discard it. This is because the majority of codes use 7E (RAM), and the .CHT format doesn't support anything else, so it's a given that 7E will be used.

7E001902 = 001902

Put a comma between the Address and the Value.

0019,02

Add a Name and equals sign ( = ) before the Address.

Cape=0019,02

If the code has multiple possible Values, add them as separate lines, only changing the Name and the Value.

Cape=0019,02
Fire=0019,03

Add a Title to the code, inside brackets. This will complete one code.

[Current Power]
Cape=0019,02
Fire=0019,03

To add more codes, simply space them out like this, using the same format.

[Current Power]
Cape=0019,02
Fire=0019,03

[Item Box]
Star=0DC2,03
Flying Red Coin=0DC2,0B

If a code would change multiple Addresses at once, separate the entries with a semicolon. ( ; )

[High Score]
On=0F34,FF;0F35,FF;0F36,20

To complete the .CHT file, you need to add a Game Info section at the bottom. Leave the "system" as SFC, but change the game name so people know what game it's for. The "text" area is where you add some notes about the cheats.

[Current Power]
Cape=019,02
Fire=019,03

[Item Box]
Star=0DC2,03
Flying Red Coin=0DC2,0B

[High Score]
On=0F34,FF;0F35,FF;0F36,20

[GameInfo]
Name=Super Mario World
System=SFC
Text=This is where notes go.

When you go to save the .CHT file in Notepad (or whatever you're using), save it like this. Make SURE to name it .CHT, and to add the quotes around it!

When CATSFC changed the cheat format, it allowed MightyMo's database and made this guide obsolete (as this guide was aimed at the old format used by NDSSFC).

You mind sharing what you used to convert the HTML?

Pfft any online HTML to BBCode converter. lol

It does most of the work.
