I am trying to use a game shark code in Bizhawk, but from what i heard it is not possible to load it to the emulator, so what i am trying to do is convert game shark code to Lua script.
here is the code that i need to convert
0519B848 00000000
0519B938 00000000
Anyone?
I am using it for a N64 emulator and the ROM is Majora's Mask. I don't really know if is a gameshark code or codebreaker i got it from this website http://geckocodes.org/?c=NARE the code i am trying to use from the website is
Remove Main Music Track
0519B848 00000000
0519B938 00000000
Thanks for the reply BTW.
You can't enter cheat codes without knowing what kind of cheat codes they are, anyway. Anyone who gave you a cheat without telling you which kind gave you incomplete information. Perhaps you should do some research on the format of different kinds of codes and see if you can correct your cheat vendor's error.

I think that website gives Gecko codes for the Wii Virtual Console, which won't be compatible with other N64 emulation. I don't know how the VC handles memory, but if you can find a base address where the emulated console's memory starts, you might be able to convert these codes.
Assuming it is indeed a Gecko code, this code does the following.
Relative to the VC memory, rather than emulated memory:
Set the DWORD (4 bytes) at 0x119B848 to 0
Set the DWORD (4 bytes) at 0x119B938 to 0
Using the infinite health code as an anchor, this MIGHT work, but there are no guarantees:
What would be better is for you to find the memory address where your health is stored and use that to calculate your offset; I've done this just from codes I've found on the internet, and can't verify the correctness of any of them, or version differences. My working is below:
Health in VC: 110C786
Health in GS: 1EF6A6
Offset: F1D0E0
DWORD 1: 119B848 - F1D0E0 = 27E768
DWORD 2: 119B938 - F1D0E0 = 27E858
(N64 gameshark can only write 16bit at a time, so split each DWORD)
so i was wrong all this time. the real gameshark codes are
811A3238 03E0
811A323A 0008
811A323C 0000
811A323E 0000
i just need to convert them so bizhawk could read them as cheats. any ideas? sorry i am a noob and have much to learn
I'm assuming it's working the same than PSX gameshark codes.
You don't need lua there in this case.
Just enter
11A3238 with value 03E0
11A323A with value 0008
11A323C with value 0000
11A323E with value 0000
in the cheat menu.
Haven't tested it though.
That is not working, this is a N64 cheat. I am on the cheat window and trying to input the data into the window but it's not letting me. This is what i am doing under new cheat.
address 0x11A3238
value 030 for some reason the E (03E0) cannot be entered
compare 0x left blank
domain RDRAM
size 2 Bites
Display As unsigned
Big Endian left unchecked.
What exactly am i doing wrong here?
Nope. Domain seems fine.
I tried a few gameshark codes like health and ruppees and they work fine by removing the first 80 like for PSX.
Where did you get these codes from ?
someone game them to me on some other website. ive tried the gameshark code using an emulator called project 64 and it worked just fine. i just need to use them using bizhawk
I didn't touch the settings at all. That's the first time I'm using BizHawk with N64.
For some reasons the cheats don't seem to work on my computer if I put them in 2 bytes.
Try in 1 byte, display as Hex.
1A3238 with value 03
1A3239 with value E0
1A323A with value 00
1A323B with value 08
1A323C with value 00
1A323D with value 00
1A323E with value 00
1A323F with value 00
That removes the music in the Select File screen for me.
