Sometimes cheats are also needed to circumvent anti-piracy protection, bugs or emulator crashes. Cheats alter games only temporarily. If you want permanent alterations, you may want to alter the ROM image itself. See modding articles.
==General ideaRetroarch == === Using existing cheat tables === RetroArch uses two methods of applying cheat codes: # Emulator Handled are codes that are sent to the emulator/core and it is up to the emulator/core to apply them.# RetroArch Handled are codes that RetroArch itself handles by directly scanning/manipulating the emulator/core memory area. The cheat tables from the builtin downloader are tagged in the filename with "(RetroArch Cheats)" for 2., and "(GameShark/Xplorer/etc.)" for 1. Pre-32bit system cores usually support both methods, while most post-32bit (e.g. PS1, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast) only support RetroArch Handled cheat codes. For these cores the cheat tables need some manual conversion, see [https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database/issues/1360 this issue]. === Searching for new codes === [https://docs.libretro.com/guides/cheat-codes/#retroarch-new-cheat-code-searching guide here] (This will produce cheat tables that are Retroarch-handled and will work with all the cores) == Duckstation ==Duckstation has a built cheat manager and cheat database (chtdb.txt) and supports custom cheats being loaded from a text file. to load custom cheats follow these steps: <br>1. click tools -> cheat manager <br>2. import file -> from file <br>3. select the cheats to be enabled.<br>the [https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation Duckstation] GitHub repository should have the latest cheat codes in the file data/resources/chtdb.txt <br> == Mednafen ==
