Action replay?

Are these codes for a ram hacking device like the nitePR for the PSP?

If so, could you please set this up similar to the PSP page.

Yes, they're AR codes. I'm not sure what the nitePR is, but the codes work on flashcarts, which play backups similar to how a PC emulator plays a rom file.

I've had a look at that nitePR page — if that was done here it would basically be a duplicate of http://cheats.gbatemp.net, which is a waste of effort? (reinventing the wheel)

I was thinking that there would be a mix of AR Codes and hints/tips on the same page…?

This will all be so much easier when the data form module is set up. We could have a section for "regular cheats" and a section for any "ram hacking" cheats…. and so on.

I think for the time being you need to just give them heading. If i was a simple NDS user who came looking for cheats and saw all these codes, I would be thoroughly confused :-s

Or… <lightbulb> …we could use tabs.

some regular cheats

I remember when I was just starting out with gaming — I didn't have a clue how to use AR Codes, but I knew I'd need some kind of device that plugged into the console (this is old technology and redundant nowadays). The thing is, I just skipped past those codes and looked for the stuff I wanted.

So what I'm trying to say is: don't underestimate how intelligent a user can be. They know what they want, and they know how to ignore something they don't need.

Though yes, things do need to be idiot-proof, to a degree…

Ok, good point. We can always sort it out later… when the data form module lands: It is quite unbelievable the amount of uses I've already imagined for that module!

The way I like to view sites like this, is that 95%+ of users won't be wikidotty and know all the syntax let alone be bothered to structure it how some "admin" wants them to. The DF module will make all the structuring automatic and we won't have to have discussions like this any more :D

To be honest, I think we should stop posting here right now - and move this conversation to the forum. This is like a 'second forum' in a way — and should be avoided.

I'm not sure how you enabled the discuss link, as I never use it and therefore have never had to enable it… but instead I think just the link to the forum in the topbar is enough.

Or perhaps a link directly to the current console's section.

[/section:%%name%% Visit the %%name%% forums!]

Would result in: Visit the nds forums!
