      Recently I was making some custom cheat files for PSX games. I have found out that multi code cheats didn't work. I have found the solution, usually if you use more than 3/4 codes per cheat it won't work for some reason or it will be glitchy, so you need to add every code separately.

      This drove me crazy when I wanted to use a cheat for The Legend of the Dragoon. I want to use the following cheat for Infinite HP (All Characters):

      D00CCDEC 1021
      800CCDE0 0002
      D00CCDEC 1021
      800CCDE2 2401
      D00CCDEC 1021
      800CCDE4 0005
      D00CCDEC 1021
      800CCDE6 1027
      D00CCDEC 1021
      800CCDEE 2400

      As you can see there are 10 codes which needs to be poked into the memory of the game.

      If we simply want to use a Gameshark code we simply insert the Gameshark code as the code into the format. Except instead of the blank space we need to use a + So like this:

      cheat0_desc = "Description"
      cheat0_code = "800F45E6+2400"
      cheat0_enable = false

      If we have a multi adres code like in our example, we MUST ONLY enter 1 adres per cheat else it won't work!! So coming back to our code for the Infinite HP for All Characters, we must add it as below to our cheat file:

      cheat0_desc = "(1) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat0_code = "D00CCDEC+1021"
      cheat0_enable = false

      cheat1_desc = "(2) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat1_code = "800CCDE0+0002"
      cheat1_enable = false

      cheat2_desc = "(3) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat2_code = "D00CCDEC+1021"
      cheat2_enable = false

      cheat3_desc = "(4) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat3_code = "800CCDE2+2401"
      cheat3_enable = false

      cheat4_desc = "(5) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat4_code = "D00CCDEC+1021"
      cheat4_enable = false

      cheat5_desc = "(6) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat5_code = "800CCDE4+0005"
      cheat5_enable = false

      cheat6_desc = "(7) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat6_code = "D00CCDEC+1021"
      cheat6_enable = false

      cheat7_desc = "(8) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat7_code = "800CCDE6+1027"
      cheat7_enable = false

      cheat8_desc = "(9) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat8_code = "D00CCDEC+1021"
      cheat8_enable = false

      cheat9_desc = "(10) Inf. HP In Battle"
      cheat9_code = "800CCDEE+2400"
      cheat9_enable = false

      I found this solution just a couple mins ago. I used all 10 codes into one cheat which didn't work and it drove me crazy for the last couple days. So I decided to post the solution here in case someone will face the same problem I had. So there you go guys, have fun cheating!

        This is really cool, thank you, I was looking for how to do this the other day.

        Don't spose you want to add this to the wiki? It'll be much easier to find than in an old forum thread :)

          I think it's a big maybe. Because with other emulators I had the same problem. I don't know how to add it if you want you can add it I don't mind at all. As long others can enjoy cheating haha

            @PetroRie @suprjami just in terms of keeping the wiki organised, extraneous subsets of retroarch such as overlays/retroachievements/cheats etc. I haven't figured out the best way of organising them- would it make sense to have a retroarch megathread highlighted the added functions and settings of retroarch?

            e.g. appended to this page? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch

            If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
