higan supports applying temporary changes to the code of a running game.
|
||||||
|
For example,
|
||||||
|
you could disable the code that registers when the player takes damage,
|
||||||
|
resulting in an "invulnerability" mode.
|
||||||
|
On real,
|
||||||
|
physical consoles,
|
||||||
|
this requires a device like
|
||||||
|
the [Action Replay][ar], [Game Genie][gg] or [Game Shark][gs].
|
||||||
|
higan supports such changes ("cheats") natively.

|
higan stores the known cheats for a particular game
|
||||||
|
in the file `cheats.bml`
|
||||||
|
inside the corresponding game folder
|
||||||
|
in [the Game Library](#the-game-library).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your copy of higan included a cheat database
|
||||||
|
(a file named `cheats.bml` in the same directory as `Super Famicom.sys`),
|
||||||
|
you can click the "Find Codes ..." button in the bottom left
|
||||||
|
to load all known cheats for the currently-running game.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To add a new cheat,
|
||||||
|
select an unused row in the list,
|
||||||
|
then type the relevant codes in the "Code(s)" field at the bottom,
|
||||||
|
and a description in the "Description" field.
|
||||||
|
Cheats are saved to disk
|
||||||
|
when the game is unloaded,
|
||||||
|
or when higan exits.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TODO: code formats? comma-separated? ROM codes? RAM codes?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable or disable an existing cheat,
|
||||||
|
tick the checkbox in the first column of the list.
|
||||||
|
The code should take effect immediately.
|
||||||
|
higan saves whether a cheat is enabled or disabled
|
||||||
|
when the game is unloaded,
|
||||||
|
or when higan exits.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To clear out an existing cheat,
|
||||||
|
select it from the list
|
||||||
|
and click the "Erase" button in the bottom right,
|
||||||
|
or just manually delete
|
||||||
|
the contents of the "Code(s)" and "Description" fields.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To clear out all existing cheats,
|
||||||
|
click the "Reset" button in the bottom right.
