Dear Bizhawk,     Can you imagine integrating with mGBA?     Everyone would be happy, cause they'd be getting the best from both worlds.     - a faster Turbo     - Cheats..     Right now, I just really want to use Cheats to skip the grind in a Pokemon game.     After that, THEN I'd like to use Bizhawk's recording features.     So how much longer are you gonna wait?

BizHawk already uses mGBA for its GBA core, and already supports cheats.

1. That doesn't change the fact that BizHawk uses mGBA for its GBA core. The BizHawk frontend would be the bottleneck rather than mGBA's emulation core. 2. Code Breaker codes are unsupported by BizHawk, which is an open issue: https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/issues/897

They're already integrated.

Hype I was able to use cheats in mGBA, transfer the save to Bizhawk, and continue from there. Here's how:     1. do everything you need to do in mGBA, then save in-game.     2. rename the .sav file to .SaveRAM and move it to Bizhawk's SaveRAM folder. Move the other files in the folder elsewhere for now.     3. run the game in Bizhawk (without loading a savestate), and you should see that the in-game save has been successfully copied! Yay!
