Hello all, first post here so I'd appreciate any feedback so I can improve this post and project.
I have found some limitations with the cheat library provided by EZ-Flash for the Omega devices, such as confusing descriptions and missing cheats that are common in other collections. To try to improve the database, I wrote a little script to read and convert the GBA cheats from the libretro-database repository to the EZFlash Omega cheat format, and then add those converted cheats into an existing EZ-Flash "stock" cheat database.
The script runs fine for me, and cheats show up and seem to work as expected, but testing is fundamentally pretty difficult for this sort of a project. I think the utility has the potential to be really beneficial to other EZ-Flash Omega (and DE) users, so I'd appreciate if anyone could try it out and provide feedback here or as an issue in the repository.
The utility is a standalone Python 3 script with no additional dependencies that should run on any Python 3.8+ distribution, and possibly in lower minor versions of Python 3. Because my account gbatemp is brand-new, I can't link the repository directly, but you should be able to find it pretty easily by searching "jeresch/update_ezflash_cheats" on GitHub.
Thanks!
