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.

- Version 0.8 -
Added option to sort manually

- Version 1.0 -

Just a question:
Is the aktivation with the yes and no seperate or can you can click one cheat code to turn it on of off?

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?
