There are many cheat finder programs but not that I know of for Atari800 the emulator, there is one built into Atari800win Plus and there's one in Altirra (the best emu out there), you can however use process cheaters like Cheat Engine which latch on to a process and allow you to search for all sorts of styles of cheats.

 

Personally I'd suggest Altirra because not only is it seriously the best emu for the Atari 800 out there but there's a large selection of pre made cheat codes available for it, not all work because of various versions of games used but most are fine.

hi,

 

i am using a real atari xe, from cassette, so i need to hack the loader and poke the memory. is there a way of converting these cheats from the emulator?

Cheat Engine is a PC cheating program..Use google...

 

As for injecting cheats in to a real Atari, unless you have Omnimon or similar installed then it will be a pain..

 

You can look at the cheats Atariwin and Altirra use to see the address and value to enter but with no built in monitor type program on the machine and only a tape drive its a real uphill struggle..

In theory a cheat injector could be done on real hardware without much problem.

 

Run a Ram-based OS, then just have a key combo which initiates the required patches. It'd work for most games so long as they didn't disturb the PortB bit controlling the OS Rom.

It might be easier than individually patching games, it might be done with a builder where you have a whole batch of patches that cover whatever games you have on that disk or directory.
