Homebrew dev raing3 has released a new app called the PSPAR to CWCheat Converter, which does what it says.
This is an early version of the program, created to transfer PSP Action Replay cheats that aren’t on the CWCheat database yet.
That said, keep it mind that the program is still very limited (as raing3 admits) and it still has some issues. The author is actually looking for help to fix those issues. He says in the forums:
Basically it can only convert “some” standard 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit type cheats to CWCheat format. I’m releasing this now because I have very little idea of how to fix the issues I am having.
If you’re willing to lend a hand, you can visit our forums by following the link below. Here are raing3’s release notes for the program, including current issues and future plans:
What is planned in future releases (if I can get help fixing the big issues):
- Fixing all the code conversion issues (I need a lot of help here)
- Adding conversion to NitePR format
- A PC conversion tool
- Adding conversion of CWCheat format to PSPAR format (If I can figure out how the hash is calculated and where it is stored in the unknown bits of the PSPAR code file)
- Maybe I could also add support for conversion between as many cheat formats as possible (I’m not too sure about this one cause it will probably take some time)
What I can currently do:
- Understand about 98% of the PSPAR cheat file format.
- Convert 13 different controller handling PSPAR codes to CWCheat format (I know this sounds weird but I am pretty sure they are all controller codes and I think there may be more).
- Convert the Game ID and Game Name to CWCheat format.
- convert “some” of the standard cheats (cheats which don’t use DMA/RLE/other stuff I don’t know about)
What I can’t do:
- I’m not 100% sure of the CWCheat database format.
- Convert DMA cheats from PSPAR format to CWCheat format.
- Convert RLE compressed cheat from PSPAR format to CWCheat format.
- Convert other format codes to CWCheat format.
- Convert any remaining standard codes to CWCheat format.
- Convert any remaining controller type codes to CWCheat format.
- Remove codes which are unneeded (if their are any, which I’m pretty sure there are)
- Fixing of any other issues with the code database.
