GBA Gameshark - Convert plain text to SPC

GBA Gameshark - Convert plain text to SPC




Well first let me say I'm not a big gamer but my son is. He is always wanting me to copy codes from the web and enter them into Gameshark for GBA software to download into his GSA. So I decided the best thing I could do was to create a program to do the conversion and create the SPC file directly. Then it's a simple matter to double-click the SPC file and the Gameshark for GBA software will automatically launch and import the new codes, ready to send to the GSA. The program I've created (actually a Hypertext Application or HTA file) uses text of the following format: Game Name ; Comment lines (optional) must start with a semicolon (M)ust be on 1234abcd 5678dcba Code description #1 a1b2c3d4 5d6c7b8a Code description #2 0F1E2D3C 9A8B7C6D Of course this is just an example of the formatting for the text file to convert.

You can either save the code info in a text file and load into this program to convert, or just copy some codes and paste into the text area of the program, then convert.

New! New! New!

Due to popular demand, I've created a new version of the program which will accept codes formatted with two chunks per line. I've also added more error checking; now the program will tell you what line, code description and code the error is in. Click the link in the box above to try the new version today!
