Note: GENPlusDroid uses 68k CPU address space for Genesis games and Z80 space for SMS/GG. Addresses must be from known cheat databases (GameHacking.org, GS Central).

Portability means:

Folder Hierarchy for Portability:

├── cheats/
│   ├── Sonic The Hedgehog (USA).cht
│   ├── Streets of Rage 2 (USA).cht
│   ├── _shared/               (common codes like RAM watches)
│   └── _disabled/             (broken or conflicting cheats)

For mass portability from Gens/ Kega format (.gcd, .pat), use a Python script:

import re

def convert_gens_to_genplusdroid(gens_file, output_file): with open(gens_file, 'r') as f: lines = f.readlines() genplusdroid cheat file portable

out_lines = []
for line in lines:
    # Gens format: "Name:CODE=VV"
    match = re.match(r'(.+):([A-Z0-9]8,10)=([0-9A-F]2)', line.strip())
    if match:
        name, code, val = match.groups()
        out_lines.append(f"[name.strip()]\n")
        out_lines.append(f"GG = code:val\n")
        out_lines.append(f"Description = name.strip()\n\n")
with open(output_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    f.writelines(out_lines)

Each .cht file contains one cheat code per line, structured as: To maximize the "portable" aspect across multiple devices

Even with a perfect portable cheat file, problems can arise.

| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution | |-------|--------------|----------| | Cheats work once, then stop | ROM region mismatch (USA vs Europe) | Ensure the cheat file matches the exact ROM CRC. Re-dump your ROM or find region-specific cheats. | | GenPlusDroid crashes when opening Cheats menu | Corrupt .gpt file (wrong encoding, special characters) | Re-create the file using plain Notepad (Windows) or QuickEdit (Android). Remove any non-ASCII characters. | | "No Cheats Found" error | Filename mismatch or wrong directory | Use a file manager to verify the exact ROM filename. Rename the .gpt file accordingly. | | Cheat effect is glitchy | Multiple overlapping cheats | Turn off all cheats, enable one by one to find the conflict. Some codes conflict with save states. |
