Kinda OT for all the boards... but...

Does anybody have any experience making GameShark/Action Replay cheats for Saturn or PSX here?

I had some Game Boy GS experience, and I've read a few tutorials here and there, but here goes:

A GS code usually contains an address/value pair, plus some kind of modifier similar to the MAME cheat engine's cheat type. There could be encryption (the rival product, MonsterBrain - used to specifically hack Pokemon, did this).

For most GS units (Game Boy being the exception), the code went as

XXXXXXXX YYYY

The X contained the address, plus at the beginning they changed some of the numbers around (a la MAME cheat engine) to get one-shot or multi-byte cheats. YYYY would contain the (two-byte max) value.

It's also to note that for the N64 GS, a button had to be assigned to said code, and I think that may have an impact on the value...

Yeah... The thing I wanted help with is Master Codes...

I've created some codes with my GB GS too

Consoles like Saturn needs Master Codes though...
