Ok so let me begin this post by saying I am starting completely at the beginning of hacking and emulation. I do own my original Dreamcast and many games but due to space reasons and toddler running around I mainly
Play on a handheld android device now. I am trying to perform what I thought would be a simple task of testing cheating in resident evil 3 USA version. in the emulator I am using retroarch flycast Naomi, seems
To accept input of GameShark codes…Well nothing seems to work at all! Using codes from game hacking and other sources,manually inputting into the emulator I get no changes. So I have seen on this and some other forums the codes may need to be decrypted? I tried using Dcvalue off this site but to be completely honest it stumped me I can’t figure it out. And I’ve seen another program dccrypt that seems to be a little more noob friendly, but sadly can’t find a download link. Can anyone share dccrypt with me by email, or maybe a link. maybe I’m just doing something totally wrong I’ll gladly take any help or advice! Here’s an example. Infinite Health (Jill) by InterAct
Action Replay/Gameshark
EFE73CD4 000000C8 I Input this into cheats section of emulator in retroarch. And still die miserably lol.

Hey thanks foxx I will give it a try and see how it goes!

Hey there! I'm having the same issue I guess. Did the dccrypt work for you? I must be doing something wrong somewhere, but the cheat didn't work even after I converted it. For instance, if I want to convert Infinite Amount - Slot 1 (C3EF8392 00000063) it will be CDB35A17 00000063. I then enter the code manually in Retroarch but nothing happens when I return to the game. I tried other codes as will but no luck

I'm using Flycast (LIBRETRO) emulator.

Retroarch doesn't accept "hexadecimal" codes (I think). It must be converted to binary, and with the "cht" structure (Flycast itself converts Gameshark codes internally) (but for "core" Flycasts, Retroarch must use the .cht format DIRECTLY).

The cht format, for example:
cheat0_address = "xxxxxxx"
cheat0_adress_bit_position = "x"
cheat0_cheat_type = "1"
cheat0_code = ""
cheat0_desc = "code name"
....
