Quote from: "saady87"hmmm, iv always wondered this, but why always use action replay codes, what about codebreaker codes, wouldnt they also work?

They should.....have u tried it?

saady87

well, not really, ima noob when it comes to this sort of stuff, il try inputing the single line code thingy (.txt --> .cht. --> .scc) with the action replay  codes that he suggested, it didnt work, doing somthing wrong somewhere!...anyways, il get back to you with this

btw, is the black screne suppose to appear when the game opens, with that one code or is it defaulted, on and skips the step...


sigh, to bad there is no .scc to .cht convertor!
hmm, eversince i got the ds one it seems that i dont ever finish a game..b4 when i actually bought games i always finished them...makes you think

Quote from: "jmr"when you run multiple line codes throw dipstar2cht.exe it converts them for you like this
21b6acd,94,0,0,0;21b6ad1,94,0,0,0;21b6ad5,94,0,0,0;

Again, it is pure luck that works because the prefix is 221b6acd when the prefix should be 021b6acd when using a Dipstar txt file.

For example . . .

Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Game ID: AWRE-bc9ee732

Infinite Funds (Action replay - 32bit write)
02189300 05f5e0ff

Using dipstar2cht.exe this code would be incorrectly translated  to . . .

2189300,ff;

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=

But would translate fine using . . .

22189300 05f5e0ff


alrite, I did exactly what you said, now..the thing that confuses me is how they translate the "Infinite funds" when it went through dipstar

I entered

Infinite Funds
22189300 05f5e0ff

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=

this is what I got
50c6a8,f;2189300,ff,e0,f5,5;

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=

is this rite or wrong? bitbit
then I ran it through chtsupercard and renamed it the same file as my rom and put it in the same folder, ran the game and it DID NOT WORK!

I can see why it didn't work for you. You didn't get it quite right.

The original AR code is . . .

Advance Wars:
Infinite Funds
02189300 05f5e0ff

We convert the code to dipstar . . .
22189300 05f5e0ff


Put the above code and nothing else into a txt file called 0088.txt

22189300 05f5e0ff


Use dipstar2cht.exe to convert 0088.txt to 0088.cht

If you open 0088.cht file generated with notepad you should see . . .

2189300,ff,e0,f5,5;

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=


Now all you need to do is label the cheat (and add ON=) like this . . .

[Infinite Funds]
ON=2189300,ff,e0,f5,5;

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=


It works. I tested the cheat and Advance Wars funds display 9999999.

EDIT:
Don't forget to covert the cht file to a scc file using cht2supercardcheat.exe

saady87

k, for some reason, this method does not seem to work, I basically copy pasted:


[Infinite Funds]
2189300,ff,e0,f5,5;

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=


into a 0088.cht file, and used ch2supercardcheat to convert it to .scc, then I placed the file into the cheat folder,
opened up supercard, started the game (for one, the black screen did not pop up), then i went and started up a game to see if I had 9999999, nothing, so then I was like hey, lets copy it in teh same folder and match the file name, I did that, still nothing!, no black screen and no 9999999

so then I thought, hey you know what, maybe I have a screwy game, so I tried custom robo arena "infinite energy" code

121c0648 0000270f (since it already starts with a 1, no need to change it), ran through dipstar


[inf energy]
21c0648,f,27;

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=


then ran this through cht2suparcardcheat.exe put the file in both areas (rom folder and cheat folder)...still no go and no black screne

k, so now this is causing me to wonder, I looked at some of those chinese .cht files in DSlink and well they had some "on=" in there, why isnt that same thing in here, secondly the blackscreen with the codes is suppose to show up rite ?
hmm, eversince i got the ds one it seems that i dont ever finish a game..b4 when i actually bought games i always finished them...makes you think

bitblt

Yes, the black cheat screen is supposed to show up every time you start a game, whether or not the codes are correct. Something is wrong. Have you ever seen the black cheat screen before? You need to be using the latest 2.0 OS. Supercard comes with many cheats already inside the cheat folder that should work for you. Make sure you enable the game cheat option using L+X to pull up the menu? You can also rename the cheat file to the exact same name as the .nds ROM file and put them in the same place. Your custom robo cheat should work too.

EDIT:
You right I forgot the ON= in the examples. Sorry, my bad. Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

[inf energy]
ON=21c0648,f,27;

[GameInfo]
Name=
System=NDS
Text=
RomName=

saady87

yup, I have seen it before, I enabled teh L+X option as well and it is the latest OS 2.0 sp1 that comes with a bunch of cheats in side, I also downloaded the file with all the chinese cheats, I put the custom robo 0934 scc file in in the cheat folder and the black screen came up, but when I put it my custom made one, I get nada..I bet the thing that im doing wrong is probably really somthing in significant...but w/e...sigh, lifes a bitch, well supercard is a bitch as well :(

----edit----

k trying with the on= sign...lol!
hmm, eversince i got the ds one it seems that i dont ever finish a game..b4 when i actually bought games i always finished them...makes you think

bitblt

Sorry. We talked about that early in the thread.  If you look on page 2 you will see I have ON= in my example.

saady87

lol....how stupid of me...ah well, I tried it and it worked!...the funny thing is I read the whole thread, and I saw teh on= thing as well, well it works like a charm.......
now to see if I can get codebreaker codes to work
hmm, eversince i got the ds one it seems that i dont ever finish a game..b4 when i actually bought games i always finished them...makes you think

deanlord

I can't seem to get any of the codes to work on my supercard ds one.

I press L+X to enable cheats and then when i start a game I can't seem to get to the cheat code menu to turn on the cheats.

Is there a command to open the cheat code menu or is it supposed open automaticly if youv'e enabled the cheats?

Someone please help

bitblt

Yes, the SCDS1 cheat menu currently pops up every time you run a game that has an associated ????.scc file. Make sure you download the latest 2.0 OS software. It will install hundreds of cheats files ready to go. You should get those working first. Make sure you use clean nds game ROMs.

saady87

if you have that version, another thing could be that you dont have the game code situated..., so basically, tell us the game your trying, and we'll tell you if you have that code or not, if u dont really want to learn

Thanks for your help i just got it to work :)

alright now that supercard SP2 firmware is out, it should work with AR codes. I have no experience with them so what format should I follow for those? also, do I just save the codes as .ar?

I would also like to know and can you download .ar files off there website or do you have to copy and paste them from it somehow?
