ROM Hack [Release] CHX-File Creator

[Computer_Freak_2004]

In bubble2k16's emulators for the 3DS you can use cheats. They are stored in the CHX-File Format. But I found it annoying, to create these files with notepad. So I wrote this little program: The

CHX-File Creator!

In this program you Add, Edit, Delete and Sort cheats in a table, save and load your work as a CSV-File and create the CHX-File with one Click! I've put some samples in the program folder.
The program was written completly in MS Small Basic 1.2.

Screenshots:

Current Version: 1.0.5

Version history:
- Version 0.5 -
first version with saving and opening the data as CSV file, menu icons, about dialog, working table with sorting

- Version 0.7 -
Improvements, Sort options added, CHX storage now possible

- Version 0.8 -
Added option to sort manually

- Version 1.0 -
improvements, nice editing dialog added, better error detection, help added

- Version 1.0.5 -
Improvements, improved manual sorting

What's required:
You need .NET Framework 4.0 or higher to run it.

Just a question:

The activation is seperate. You have to click on the cheat code and then on Edit to turn the activation on or off.

Thanks for the tips!

What should I do with codes that have 2 lines?

 

[Computer_Freak_2004]

What should I do with codes that have 2 lines?

Can you show me an code with 2 lines?

 

[CJRed]

this can work with a 2 lines code, example: cheat= 6775467+673836

 

[CJRed]

Can you show me an code with 2 lines?

A 2 lines code is like this: 675846+686867; or like this: 72837
56756

 

[Computer_Freak_2004]

A 2 lines code is like this: 675846+686867; or like this: 72837
56756

You have to split the 2 line code into 2 seperate codes like this:
Cheat: 675846+686867 -> Cheat (Part 1): 675846, Cheat (Part 2): 686867

I also have the same thing in the help of the program.

What if there are cheats that use two codes over and over again? For example, the Start at a specific world cheats for Super Mario Bros. for the NES:

YSAOPE + YEAOZA + PEAPYA Start on World 2
YSAOPE + YEAOZA + ZEAPYA Start on World 3
YSAOPE + YEAOZA + LEAPYA Start on World 4
YSAOPE + YEAOZA + GEAPYA Start on World 5
YSAOPE + YEAOZA + IEAPYA Start on World 6
YSAOPE + YEAOZA + TEAPYA Start on World 7
YSAOPE + YEAOZA + YEAPYA Start on World 8

Notice how the first two codes of each cheat are the same.

If there are cheats that use two codes over and over again you only need to activate them once like this:
Start On World (Part 1): YSAOPE
Start On World (Part 2): YEAOZA

Then you can activate the cheatcode with the world you want to start in like:
Start On World 2: PEAPYA
or
Start On World 3: ZEAPYA
etc.

Thank you so much! But can you fix the slow startup times?

 

[Computer_Freak_2004]

Thank you so much! But can you fix the slow startup times?

Sorry, but no. I can't make the startup any faster without removing features of the program.
If you start the program for the first time the startup might be slower. But after that it should only take a few seconds.

Will Raw Cheats work on this?

A;so, tried using the PAR cheats featured here: even named my chx file the same as my ROM, in the same folder as my ROM, and it says that the chx file is not found.
