RetroArch Cheats are used to modify the currently running game's state.

Why is this an article here?

Well, first, let me explain what they are made up of. Each cheat can do the following:

• Set a specific address to a specific value.
• Increase the value of the specific address by a value.
• Decrease the value of the specific address by a value.
• Run the next cheat only if the specific address is equal to a value.
• Run the next cheat only if the specific address is NOT equal to a value.
• Run the next cheat only if the specific address is less than a value.
• Run the next cheat only if the specific address is greater than a value.

These are seven total "instructions". An assembly-like syntax will be used:

set address,value # Set
inc address,value # Increment
dec address,value # Decrement
rie address,value # Run If Equal
rne address,value # Run Not Equal
ril address,value # Run If Less
rig address,value # Run If Greater

Miui's set of instructions

poke X,Y,HHHH 	write Unicode codepoint HHHH (hex) into the cell at column X, row Y
pokeall AAAA,BBBB 	replace every cell holding AAAA with BBBB
push S,N 	push N onto storage S (0-27; 21 is the queue)
sel S 	select storage S
goto X,Y[,dir] 	move the instruction pointer; dir is r, l, u or d
feed TEXT 	queue TEXT as if typed, followed by a newline
halt 	stop the program

i got here with these weird cheats!

Proof is more than cheats

Using an libretro Aheui interpreter given no typical retroarch input, cheats can both target the execution grid and pass input to the program.

Interpreters/Implementations

• RetroArch, obviously.
• Libretro, same thing.

Known Issues

If you have more than 6,000 cheats, the rest do not work, as they leak into other parts of the settings.
