Yeah, there may be a couple redundant codes in there. They would be easy to spot if we could just alphabetize the list. As it is, it's very time-consuming to check for dupes one-by-one....the list is getting huge. I eliminate dupes as I find them.
This is supposed to be a community dat. If anyone spots missing codes or duplicate games, tell me about them. Better yet, add codes to, or delete dupes from the dat yourself and I will host it, just as long as no games that are in it now are removed (except dupes, of course). Needless to say, there will come a time when I won't have time to maintain it as much as I do now....eventually, I'll get off my lazy ass and find a job and won't have unlimited time anymore.
I don't create the codes, so none of them are "mine", I just add codes as I find them. I'm trying to create the ultimate USRCHEAT.DAT so just about any game will have a cheat, if cheats exist for it. I'm sure there are many missing codes/games. I rely on a few code sites and this community to maintain it. I maintain this dat for GBAtemp members/visitors exclusively. I don't mention it anywhere else.
I originally started updating the dat for myself, then thought, "Why should I keep it to myself?" I have a little bit of server space that, as far as I know, never goes down, never expires and is lightning fast, so I upload it there and make it available to you guys just for the heck of it.
Any help, pointers, info and/or additions or recommended deletions to the dat are fully welcome. Like I said, it's not "my" dat, it's the entire GBAtemp community's dat. I just happen to be the person that took the initiative to maintain and host it. I could use all the help I can get.
I concentrate mostly on USA and Euro codes, but Japanese games that are popular are worth adding too, though I see no reason to add codes for Jap games that are unplayable by peeps who can't read Japanese. We're a primarily English speaking community here after all. If anyone wants to add Japanese games, that's fine, but please keep the text in English letters. I tend not to bother with Japanese games much because Japanese text looks like a bunch of TV antennas to me and it annoys me to not be able to read it.
I appeal to everyone who cares to feel free to help out if they wish.
Cheers
