GpSPhone cheats
From Zodipedia
Cheats have been implemented in gpSPhone, this page is to serve as a guide for getting them working.

[edit] Instructions
The basic idea is to make a .cht file with the codes you want to use.
If you have a ROM as /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/GBA/mariofilename.gba then would have to make a file as /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/GBA/mariofilename.cht.
Currently, gpSP supports some functionality of Gameshark/Pro Action Replay cheat codes. To use these, you must first make a file with the same name as the ROM you want the cheat code to apply to, but with the extension .cht. Put this file in the same directory as the ROM. To make it use a normal text editor like Notepad or Wordpad if you're on Windows.
To write a code, write the type of model it is, gameshark_v1, gameshark_v3, PAR_v1, or PAR_v3. gameshark_v1/PAR_v1 and gameshark_v3/PAR_v3 respectively are interchangeable, but v1 and v3 are not ! So if you don't know which version it is, try both to see if it'll work.
Then, after that, put a space and put the name you'd like to give the cheat.
On the next several lines, put each cheat code pair, which should look like this :
| AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB |
Then put a blank line when you're done with that code, and start a new code immediately after it. Here's an example of what a cheat file should look like :
| gameshark_v3 MarioInfHP 995fa0d9 0c6720d2 gameshark_v3 MarioMaxHP gameshark_v3 InfHlthBat gameshark_v3 StopTimer |
After you have written the .cht file, you have to enable the cheats individually in the game menu. Go to the Cheats/Misc menu, and you will see the cheats; turn them on here. You may turn them on and off as you please, but note that some cheats may still hold after you turn them off, due to the nature of the system. Restart to completely get rid of them.
[edit] Important notes
It is still a work in progress ! I basically added this in only 1.5 or so hours, and I don't have a lot of time right now to work on it before releasing. So I'll probably improve it later.
Not all of gameshark's features are supported, especially for v3. Only basic cheats will work, more or less.
Cheats may be unstable and may crash your game. If you're having problems turn the cheats off.
Really, there's no guarantee that ANY cheats will work; I tried a few and some seem to work, others are questionable. Try for yourself, but don't expect anything to actually work right now. Do expect this feature to improve in future versions.
If you know of any changes in the information above since it was posted please add it.
You can add cheats for other people to use at GpSPhone user cheats.
