HOW TO CONVERT ACTION REPLAY CODES INTO CHEAT FILES

If you have any issues getting a certain cheat working, feel free to post here and I'll help as best I can.

--------

Description of Terms: 
Character: A letter or number. 
Group: A series of characters that are not separated by a comma. 

Get the "Cheat Conversion Package" from the "Cheats" section in the Much faster Supercard software mirror sticky 

Follow the instructions in the "Cheat.pdf" file 

After you have done everything outlined in the file, change the extension of the .dat file the converter created to .cht 
- Refer to steps 1 and 2 in the example below 

Open the newly-named .cht file in NotePad 

Each line that begins with "ON=" is the actual code for the cheat above it, labelled in brackets ("[" and "]") 

After "ON=", there is a combination of letters and numbers, followed by a comma 
- There may be characters and commas after this, but ignore them for now 

Counting from right to left, starting at and including the first character in front of the first comma, delete any additional characters past the fifth (5th) character 
- Refer to step 3 in the example below 
- If there are less than five characters in total within the group, refer to step 3a 

Now, referring back to the characters after the first comma, you may need to split them into groups of two, separating them with a comma 
- Refer to step 4 in the example below 
- Only split groups that have three or more characters in them 
- If there is an odd amount of letters and numbers, pair from left to right. If the cheat does not work when you activate it in-game, try editing the .cht file again, pairing from right to left. 

Close the cheat file, making sure to save all your changes 

Now patch the ROM with the Supercard patching software 
- Patch with any options you want, then mark the box next to "Enbable Cheat", and click the "..." button next to the "Cheat File" field 
- Locate the .cht file you've created, and select it 
- Output the ROM, and load it onto your CF card 

When in-game, press the Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Start, and A buttons simultaneously to bring up the cheat selection menu 

Enable/Disable your cheat using this menu

Example of conversion process, using cheats for Castlevania: CotM and Shining Soul: RotDD (J) 

Using the "Converter.exe" file, a dat file named "Castlevania (U).dat" is created. 

Rename the file to "Castlevania (U).cht" 

Delete the extra characters 
- Original lines: 

[Inf Health] 
ON=0202562E,037F

- Edited lines: 

[Inf Health] 
ON=2562E,037F

If there are less than five letters and numbers in total, you may need to add zeroes to make a total of five letters and numbers 
- Original lines: 

[max's magic 1] 
heal lv1=2E8,F0,16

- Edited lines: 

[max's magic 1] 
heal lv1=002E8,F0,16

Pair into groups of two 
- Original lines: 

[Inf Health] 
ON=2562E,037F

- Edited lines: 

[Inf Health] 
ON=2562E,03,7F

This is an extremely experimental process. I have tested this process with many codes on a handful of games, and I believe this process should work for most cheats. However, some cheats may require additional knowledge of hexadecimal and addressing to get working properly.
