I'm trying to get this to work for a Japanese v1.0 ROM (unmodified) Press L To Levitate (PJ64 code) D01C84B5 0020 811DAA90 40CB Nothing tells me if that's RDRAM, ROM, System Bus etc. and I've tried a few things and none of them work. The Code Converter says the codes are unsupported. I've been reading http://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/Cheat.html and to me that doesn't really help me understand why it isn't working... --------------------------- Emulator Error --------------------------- The code you entered is not supported by BizHawk. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

Am still looking for any info on what to do. Lol I just realized I linked to Majora's Mask for the first code... Whoops! Still, the PJ64 codes for OoT don't work or rather they work but not correctly, it makes you always levitate instead of only when holding L. Edit: looks like only 811DAA90 40CB code works while the D01C84B5 0020 code is what is unsupported and that is what ties the behaviour to the L button.

Whilst the Mupen core itself supports them, the BizHawk cheat handler doesn't have any support for conditional cheat codes and so there's no way to do the code conversion (same with other cores such as GBA).

A gameshark code starting with D means it's a condition. It means "When the value of 801C84B5 is 0020 then do the code underneath" which is write the value 40CB to 811DAA90. If you want this to work you will have to write a Lua script. EDIT :
Language: lua

while true do if mainmemory.readbyte(0x01C84B5)==0x20 then mainmemory.write_u16_le(0x01DAA90,0xCB40); end; emu.frameadvance(); end;
Note that 0x20 is the value of L being pressed but you can change this value if you want another button

That works, thank you very much for taking the time to write a working example Lil_Gecko!
