Cheat Type F6 lets you perform cheats in IF / ELSE IF / ELSE constructs along
with multiple conditions for each one.
It supports conditions D0, D1, D2, D3, E0, E1, E2, E3, A0, A1, A2, A3, D7 and
two new types that will only be available in the F6 conditions :-
E4 & E5 which are bit comparisons on bytes (set and clear).
Any of those types which are "block conditionals" like D7 will be treated as a
single condition with the other conditions so you wont need to worry about
extra 00000000 FFFFs just for them (infact you can drop them completely apart
from the last 00000000 FFFF, which you can also drop if you have no trailing
cheat lines after the end of the construct.

Work done :
** Made the columns sortable (someone asked for this GH I think)
** Moved the Add to Watch button to under the search parameters, and renamed it.
** Made the selection work on a block level so we can block "add results" and block "Remove Watch" on multiple entries
** Made the description show the raw code - so either 3xxxxxxx, 8xxxxxxx, 9xxxxxxx depending on the Data Size and the memory being under 0x200000. This can be edited still.
** Changed the Watch value field to take a hex number in the form 0xX as well as a decimal number.
** Moved the freeze box to the right column, I originally did this prior to finding out about ContiguousSelection and I think it makes more sense next to the value you want to freeze
** Removed the message about 5000 results limitation (it made searching painful) and added a text box showing it permanently along with the number of results (which you can observe going down as you continue the search)
** Hidden the "Save Watch" & "Load Watch" buttons, they have no functionality (yet) and making them invisible in the mean time makes it less confusing.

Chtdb.txt
=========
Updated the header to document all the new cheat types, added some more cheats
and cleaned up others.
New Cheat Types:-
=================
F5 - 16-Bit toggle cheat, predominatly used with the D7 cheat to enable/disable
ASM cheats with the same key presses. See chtdb.txt for more information.
52 - Register Block Conditionals for use with the type 51 cheats. There are 128
sub types. See chtdb.txt for more information.
53 - Improved Slide Code cheat type, with support for 65536 addresses and a 16
bit step and easily configurable step direction for value and address.
See chtdb.txt for more information.
Other Changes:-
===============
51 - Cleaned up - renumbered/renamed, Tested & Bugfixed. See chtdb.txt for more
information.
C3-C7 are variants of C0
D7 is a BIT based joker to rule them all. It includes the analog sticks (@ggrtk thanks for adding the analog reading capability). Also added the facility of making dual single key joker by varying the amount of time a button is held down.
51 is a complicated beast that I still need to document
* C3XXXXXX 00YY - 8-Bit Master Code, if ($XXXXXX) is less than 0xYY poke all
00000000 FFFF following codes for rest of the cheat or until it reaches the
00000000 FFFF line.
* C4XXXXXX 00YY - 8-Bit Master Code, if ($XXXXXX) is greater than 0xYY poke all
00000000 FFFF following codes for rest of the cheat or until it reaches the
00000000 FFFF line.
* C5XXXXXX YYYY - 16-Bit Master Code, if ($XXXXXX) is less than 0xYYYY poke all
00000000 FFFF following codes for rest of the cheat or until it reaches the
00000000 FFFF line.
* C6XXXXXX YYYY - 16-Bit Master Code, if ($XXXXXX) is greater than 0xYYYY poke all
00000000 FFFF following codes for rest of the cheat or until it reaches the
00000000 FFFF line.
* D7PQRRRR TTYYYYYY - 24-Bit Universal BIT Joker, OR the hex values to
combine into a multi-button joker. Because it is BIT
based it is better than D4, D5, D6 or using a D0 joker as you
do not need to worry about any other buttons being
pressed at the same time and you get both analog
sticks for extra functionality. Note if you want to use it
just as a enhanced joker just use D7000000 00YYYYYY when
the buttons/directions are pressed or D7100000 00YYYYYY
when you want to ensure they are not all pressed.
QRRRR TT provides the capability of only activating the
following codes after the keys have been held in for a set
amount of frames. 003C = 60 Frames = 1 Second at 100% Speed
YYYYYY = 000001 L2 Button
YYYYYY = 000002 R2 Button
YYYYYY = 000004 L1 Button
YYYYYY = 000008 R1 Button
YYYYYY = 000010 Triangle Button
YYYYYY = 000020 Circle Button
YYYYYY = 000040 X Button
YYYYYY = 000080 Square Button
YYYYYY = 000100 Select Button
YYYYYY = 000200 L3 Button
YYYYYY = 000400 R3 Button
YYYYYY = 000800 Start Button
YYYYYY = 001000 Up (Digital)
YYYYYY = 002000 Right (Digital)
YYYYYY = 004000 Down (Digital)
YYYYYY = 008000 Left (Digital)
YYYYYY = 010000 Up (Right Thumb)
YYYYYY = 020000 Right (Right Thumb)
YYYYYY = 040000 Down (Right Thumb)
YYYYYY = 080000 Left (Right Thumb)
YYYYYY = 100000 Up (Left Thumb)
YYYYYY = 200000 Right (Left Thumb)
YYYYYY = 400000 Down (Left Thumb)
YYYYYY = 800000 Left (Left Thumb)
NOTE: The 0s in the code are reserved for possible
future use.
TT=Temp Internal Variable 00-FF, 00 will mean it wont be
used, if it's not 00 do not use the same value for
jokers using different keypress combinations for
the same game.
P = 0 or 1. 0 = Check ALL YYYYYY Bits are ON
1 = Check ALL YYYYYY Bits are OFF
Q = Frame Comparison 0 = Dont do any comparison
1 = Check that the button combination
has been held down for exactly
RRRR frames.
2 = Check that the button combination
has been held down for more than
RRRR frames.
3 = Check that the button combination
has been held down for less than
RRRR frames.
4 = Check that the button combination
has been held down for anything
but RRRR frames.
RRRR = 0000 to FFFF, Frame Comparison Value
It will then poke all following codes for rest of cheat
00000000 FFFF or until it reaches the 00000000 FFFF line.
* Add new Cheat Type F4, Find & Replace Bytes
Also knows as 'AOB' apparently. Information about how it works will be in the next chtdb.txt header or you can read/ask about it on the discord channel.
* Add new Cheat Type F4, Find & Replace Bytes
Also knows as 'AOB' apparently. Information about how it works will be in the next chtdb.txt header or you can read/ask about it on the discord channel.
* Added error trapping for cheat type F4
As suggested
Updated Memory Scanner to use sized hexadecimal in results and manual watches.
Enforced Halfword,Word address settings so that it's a valid word or halfword that is being watched.
* Changed debugger "Enter memory address" to accept hex only
The "Enter memory address" prompt by default expects a decimal address unless it's preceded by 0x. Or it expects an number starting with 0 is an octal.
The disassembly address should be hexadecimal regardless as that is how it it displays the address.
Also changed it so that it changes any address entered to be divisible by 4 as there was an observed issue that would cause the disassembly addresses to get locked to a address that was not divisible by 4
* Translation updates for Debugger memory address change
Updated the three translation files that mentioned the original "Invalid address. It should be in hex" string.
* Changed debugger "Enter memory address" to accept hex only
UPDATE TO PR #1316
The "Enter memory address" prompt by default expects a decimal address unless it's preceded by 0x. Or it expects an number starting with 0 is an octal.
The disassembly address should be hexadecimal regardless as that is how it it displays the address.
Also changed it so that it changes any breakpoint or disassembly address entered to be divisible by 4 as there was an observed issue that would cause the disassembly addresses to get locked to a address that was not divisible by 4 and a breakpoint address that is not divisible by 4 would never be hit.
Address increment is a u8 and value increment is a u16. The changes will make this work correctly:-
50000AA4 FFFF
801CC760 0400
which is a example slide code representing:-
801CC760 0400
801CC804 03FF
801CC8A8 03FE
801CC94C 03FD
801CC9F0 03FC
801CCA94 03FB
801CCB38 03FA
801CCBDC 03F9
801CCC80 03F8
801CCD24 03F7
1. Cleaned up and added cheats for non-softwarelist games, mainly for PAL regions this has doubled the size of the database.
2. Added information about the various 32 bit by 32 bit cheat types to the cheat file header.
3. Added information for cheat types 31, 32 ,81, 82, 91 & 92 which are BIT set and clear cheat types - I'll do a PR for these in the next week.
4. Grouped some more cheats
More cheat clean ups and added some more cheats
Added button info to the code format at the top of the file for the R4 type
Added placeholders for the games in the softwarelist with no cheats so that there is somewhere to insert the cheats quickly
Added basic header to top of cheat file. Started work on further cleaning up the cheats to work better with Duckstation - grouping, re-sorting, fixing typos and format discrepancies, adding some cheats and removing a few duplicate cheats.
Converted MAME format cheats into DS format, fixed issue with some games having multiple headings and made the headers more verbose with square brackets to help them stand out.
