ok this is a difficult one but I know you coders out there are up to the challenge.
I am sick of waiting and hopeing for trainers and I almost never can find a trainer that does me any good. not to mention that there seems to be a major lack in new ones lately...
I realy want to make two things:
>one, I want to make an IPS file that can be attached to ANY *.gba file and would escentially be the gameshark code stripped down and only programmed with codes for the game attached. the menu would have to be simple, on/off for each "cheat" and a brief discription for each line(actual code is hidden). inside the program each line actually would consist of up to 15 lines of cheat codes (or 15 gameshark hex codes for those cheaters out there) these cheats would not be editable inside the game. it would also be nice to add the gamesharks "cheat hack" ability (but this would be realy hard as there is no button to use and there fore not realy necessary)
>two, a program or batch file used in windows to modify a raw version of the above file(program minus codes and descriptions) that "inserts" the codes from ither a simple text file OR a gui like interface where you type in the codes and descriptions... then you could use a regulat IPS to add it to the target game. with this instead of hunting for ips files that dontexist, all people have to hunt fore are gameshark codes that are richly abundant and can even be home grown on visualboy advance!
I have decided to use two games as guinea pigs: tactics ogre: the knight of lodis, and the ledgend of zelda, a link to the past. mainly because I actually own leagle copies of these.
I dont want to hear "then just get a gameshark!" that defeats my goal, I want to remove clutter from my GBA, it travels alot and I got the GBASP, the gameshark would only bulk up what I am working hard to streamline! plus you cant say it wouldnt be cool if it were as easy as typeing some 8 digit numbers into a gui and makeing your own Trainers with a simple click!
I can see what is needed to make this happen but I lack any programming ability or knowhow to actually do it... also I realy dont have any idea if this is even possible! if so please I realy want this to happen, if noone wants to actually make something like it, then help me, how do I do it, what do I need to know and how do I learn?
