Teasers: Gameshark =)

[okaygo]

Expect a functional gameshark in the next release, and a beta one upcoming in the SVN soon.

Nice work

Out of interest, how does your implementation work? A addition to the menu? (like project64's implementation for instance)

When I get my PC back I am going to start the task of porting all the changes in the current Mupen version back to the last Windows base code, aka Porting it back to Windows . (will have to include this in it for sure )

If anyone wants to help give me a shout.

I'll post a thread when starting it.

That looks really cool and such... but may I ask why your window decorations... look exactly like Vista Basic? I've seen people copy off of Aero, but never Vista Basic.

 

[okaygo]

The codes will be read via ini file, and have a GUI interface.

The INI will probably read something like this (however it may very well change due to eben is going to write the gui and file system, I just wrote the 'gameshark'.

There have been about 400 commits to the SVN repository since Mupen64 v0.5. There is no going back at this point, unless you just want to fork it and only grab a few things here and there. Then you'd give Windows developers a bad name. NMN is working on a Win32 port already.

And with the work of me and nmn, the console based Gameshark is nearing it's completion and will be available shortly in the SVN. Please remember that there might be a few bugs... but its gameshark baby :3

Um... after I build mupen from svn it compiles but does not run. I get:

Signal number 11 caught:
        errno = 0 (Success)

with any plugins, even dummy audio and video and mupen64 basic input. I'm guessing the cheat work has something to do with this? Also, maybe a branch work be a better idea?

That's not to say I'm not 100% in favor of having it in the emulator. Cheat support is a great way to be able to muck around in ROMs to try to find corner cases the emulator can't handle and make it better. Just try to be considerate and keep things in trunk working.

 

[okaygo]

It is possible, try redownloading the cheat.c (however I do not believe we updated the makefile to even include cheat.c yet)

That might be the problem too, try updating your makefile to include cheat.c

Fixed the segfault problem. It segfaults on systems where cheats.gs file doesn't exist. nmn added cheat.c to Makefile in svn last night.

Fair enough , Just ordered a new pc, so if Nmn wants a hand he can gimme a shout.

Cool, it is working today. Great job to okaygo and whoever (else?) fixed up my part of the code after I had to leave.

fyi, I'm doing a large cleanup of the cheat code and enhancing the frontend/file io part of it, so please don't commit major changes to cheat.[ch] until I've committed my changes. Thanks.

 

[nmn]

I read this AFTER fixing the conditional system and committing it... Anyways, yes, I had to change the file a bit to get conditionals working properly. Please try to merge it as it's rather important for it to work properly...

np, I merged in your change and committed mine. Note, my commit changed the name and format of the cheat config file. See the commit log for details. I think the code that handles conditional cheat codes (do_next code) could be written a little more clearly. I'll try to fix that up if I can think of a good way to do it.

Next I'll work on a gui frontend for viewing/editing cheat codes for roms. Also, if we add GameShark button support to the cheat system, I can add the ability to map the GameShark button to a controller button in the hotkeys section of the config dialog. Then we'll have GS button support too.

Also we should start porting the other cheat files from Project64 into Mupen64

This is a long awaited feature and I'm very proud that we got it done.

 

[ebenblues]

Example cheats.cfg

fyi, for those trying out the new cheat feature, cheats.cfg should go in your ~/.mupen64plus dir.

 

[nmn]

I was thinking of an INI like format, but decided to just implement Okaygo's original. I'm guessing we switched to INI because all of the other configuration files from mupen64 itself are in INI?

And btw. do_next should be clear enough in my patch. next_cheat was removed in the process of fixing it, making it _MUCH_ cleaner. Still, It could use some cleaning up...

Edit cheat dialog

Here's a preview of the edit cheats dialog:

Wicked. That's a great feature.

what needs to be done to import pj64 cheats? if it is not programming related i could try doing it . perhaps the file needs to be rewrite?
