Suggestion: Reincorporate 'Find Cheats' option #27

Regards mt. The original bsnes has the option to add already preset cheats in some games.

However in this version this feature seems to be missing, so I think it would be a good idea to add it in the future. Desktop 5-01-2023 13-00-28-402

Try just to extract/move bsnes-mt executable into bsnes folder so that the cheat database (apparently Database\Cheat Codes.bml file not bundled with bsnes-mt) is available to bsnes-mt too.

It worked perfectly, thanks. But just out of curiosity, why didn't you include the database folder in the releases? Is it forbidden or something like that?

Marat-Tanalin commented 1 year ago

There are multiple reasons. If bundle databases, why not bundle shaders? Bundling shaders would make the distro much larger, the databases and shaders would need to be updated/synchronized with bsnes on a regular basis, the repo would have to contain them, etc.

I prefer just to provide improved/extra features without needlessly spending time on anything out of my main focus in this project.
