Do you have to have the "memory card/cartridge" that comes with AR to use cheat codes. For example, could someone with a modded cube just download AR to cheat?
If you have a modded cube, I find (yes, this is depressing) that the purchased AR will not work for whatever reason. GOOD NEWS! If you flash you GC with the Cobra 1.6 BIOS, it comes with a thingy which lets you convert AR codes to add them to your gc! Plus, it's free! You don't have to buy anything. As I'm in a hurry, I only have time to send you the guide from http://modthatcube.pxn-os.com/main.htm. Convert Action Replay Codes to Cobra BIOS Codes This process is pretty simple and I don’t see why it wasn’t included in the Cobra v1.0 release (the first version of Cobra BIOS to support cheat codes). You will first need some codes and then a tool called GCNcrypt which is of course located in the archive below. (GCNcrypt LOCATED @ \files\GCNcrypt-v1_1.zip) You can get many codes from either GameFAQs, GameSpot and/or Code Junkies (Datel) . Once you have a code you simply remove the first line and then put the code into the DOS until above and it’ll output the new code. The first line of the code IS NOT NEEDED! So say you got an original code like this … 6BUE-CTGY-M9VB5 RUVW-AT9M-05YVU So get rid of the first code and you’ll be left with this to decrypt … RUVW-AT9M-05YVU Then run GCNcrypt which will give you … 04323EA8 0000FF00 That is what you put into Cobra BIOS! Making Your Own Cheat Code Database Files (.COD) for Cobra BIOS v1.0+ Cheat code files are simply a text file renamed .COD with a certain format inside them. The format is pretty easy to follow. EXAMPLE – SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE USA (m) C435EE58 0000FF00 Infinite Health 042438EC 60000000 Infinite Air 0424F79C 60000000 0424F7A0 D03D012C Infinite Water Supply 0426B824 60000000 0426C1CC 60000000 Infinite Hose 0426B9C8 60000000 Infinite Jetpack 0426C330 60000000 So as you can see the first line of the text file is the name of the game, then two lines down is the (m) or master code, then every two lines down after that is the name of the code with the code itself following under it. Remember to always skip a line between codes! NOTE: When using Cobra v1.0 cheat codes do not work with any original games only backups. NOTE: Someone has made over 600 game code compilations for you to enjoy. This compilation is located in \files\cobracodes.zip . ENJOY!
