Description

Description

I tried to use cheat codes on Android RetroArch.

The same cheat code works on VBA-M, but it did not work on RetroArch.

Expected behavior

The cheat code is 0201326E:03E7. It works on VBA-M.

I added the following cht to RetroArch:

cheats = 1 
cheat0_desc = "HP"
cheat0_code = "0201326E:03E7"
cheat0_enable = true

I also tried:

cheats = 1 
cheat0_desc = "HP"
cheat0_code = "0201326E+03E7"
cheat0_enable = true
Actual behavior

Neither works.

The report names no source file or test; done should mean identifying whether the code format is supported and providing a verified fix or a clear explanation of the required format.
