        Or... Why not fork the RetroArch cheats repo and make the necesary changes? Will be hard to have it up to date with the original repo but due the fact that many systems has more than 20 years with not oficial support it would not be as hard as with an active system

          That would take a lot of time. Most cheat files don't contain all the cheats which can be found on the internet. I have no idea how they made all those files because there are so many of them.

            @PetroRie cheats are just slight changes to code with minor binary injections. You can pretty much have an infinite amount of cheats if you want

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

            Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

                Yup thats true. Couldn't we have a RetroPie cheat database in which users could add cheats to the .cht files and download them like they had on the the Wii. Something similar like this: http://geckocodes.org/

                It would be also nice if RetroPie has a cheat making engine so we could make our own cheats.

                  @PetroRie if there are any quality cheats they should be pushed upstream to libretro instead of being forked.

                      Nothing says quality like 'Cheetahmen II', so I added the code file I arranged a few months back.

                      Thanks for the link. I didn't know it was so easy to submit something like this.

                          Yep yep. Although in hindsight, gifting anything related to that game is really more Krampus than Kringle.
