[Enhancement] Search memory for cheats #300

Open branchus opened 1 year ago

Hey Mireille

Really love NanoBoyAdvance, just a suggestion. I don't like to use existing cheats code found online, but sometimes I do want to search for a certain thing and cheat on that.

VBA has this function and works really well. below is a screenshot I found online, but it tells all. After loading the game, can use this window to search a number in the game, then back to game and make sure the number changed, then search again, generally after repeat this for 2 to 3 time, it will be able to find the memory address then can change the value in the memory.

This function doesn't relate to any of the accuracy and not game critical, so totally fine if this is not your interest.

Thanks

Yeah, I recognize that something like this could be useful. It's quite far back in my TODO list for now though, after debugging tools and cheats and things like that.

You know the saves are compatible between some emulators, so you can use vba-m or mgba to search for cheats, save, then switch back to NBA :)
