GoldenEye 007 "new server" cheats no longer work

[gingerbeardman]

Describe the bug

• there are cheats that bring GoldenEye 007 back online
• this is done by changing the IP of a test server
• they also add in new maps, rule changes, etc

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. GoldenEye 007 Wii USA version
2. install cheat file 3.1 (~10K)
3. try loading game

Analysis

• Latest cheat files seem to be too big for WFL
• Works OK in USBLGX

What version of WiiFlow Lite

• 5.5.4 latest test build

On Wii or Wii U vWii

• Wii

Screenshots

• black screen on load

Additional context

• Back in August 2020 the GCT for GoldenEye New Server was about 4KB. That worked in WFL just fine. (I deleted my copy of this save, oops)
• The latest GCT is 10KB in size. Does not work with WFL, game launches to black screen.
• I have one from in between those dates that is 6KB. This works fine in WFL. cheat file 1.0 works (~6K)
• WFL support was added in https://github.com/Fledge68/WiiFlow_Lite/issues/194 where there is more info in https://github.com/Fledge68/WiiFlow_Lite/issues/194#issuecomment-1634617503

hey sorry i never replied to this issue. my bad. so honestly i would assume its just a out of memory issue. you know how wiiflow has out of memory issues. i don't think wiiflow has a gct size limit. i look into it hopefully tomorrow but no promises. thanks for all the times you've helped me out.

[gingerbeardman]

love you man

✌️

so i took a quick look but like i said i don't see a size limit. it's most likely a not enough memory issue.

but i do have a alternative version of WFL i was working on and will see about fixing the mem issue with it. but free time permitting.

No worries, this type of fix would be great but ...priorities
