Description
When you want to add a cheat from a website it takes around 5-10 minutes to get the address to land on the exact number you need. Because it only lets you increase or decrease the address number. the longer you hold it the faster it goes. but it's very inconsistent. IE: it goes from 1 to 100 in about 10 seconds. 100 to 1000 in about 7 seconds. 1000 to 6,000 in like 3 seconds. 6,000 to 1,000,000 in like half a second. And it resets the speed when you let go.
Wish you can change the address input to split in 4 (8-bit) sections like in the picture.
