Action Replay for Pokemon Emerald on gpsPhone 7.1.3

This guide will outline the steps to use action replay cheats for Pokemon Emerald on gpsPhone on your iPod Touch or iPhone using a Windows computer.

This guide assumes you have already jailbroken your iPod, installed gpsPhone 7.1.3, its BIOS, and the GBA ROM Pack with 1986 - Pokemon - Emerald Version (UE).zip, and already have it working without cheats.

Skip to Step 4 if you know how to use OpenSSH and WinSCP.

Step 1: Install SSH on your iPod. Under Cydia, it's called OpenSSH. It's also a good idea to install SBSettings so you can disable SSH when you want. (note: SSH poses a security threat to your iPod. It is recommended to change the root password, disable it when not in use, or uninstall it when you don't need it anymore.)

Step 2: Install WinSCP on your PC. If you are using a Mac, you'll need to find a Mac equivalent. You will need to find your iPod's IP address. Its under Settings>Wi-Fi->[Press the little arrow by your network name].

Step 3: Run WinSCP, type in your iPod's IP. For username, type root. The default password is alpine. Navigate to the folder /private/var/mobile/Media/ROMs/GBA.

Step 4: Open Notepad, and copy&paste the following:

Masterball
128898B6 EDA43037
Rare Candy
BFF956FA 2F9EC50D
Faraway Island (Mew)
8DEB234A 4C8DC5EC
Navel Rock (Lugia)
842CB8A9 7F8B0149
Birth Island (Deoxys)
4A99A22B 58284D2D
Southern Island (Latias) 1
7703F025 00394020
Southern Island (Latias) 2
181690CB 4E53CB05

Save it as RomFileName.cht, or for Pokemon Emerald 1986 - Pokemon - Emerald Version (UE).zip.cht. The file MUST end in *.cht, not *.txt. All the letters in the code MUST be in UPPER CASE.

(note: Save before using cheats, in case your game glitches up. The Rare Candy and Master Ball cheats put them in your PC, use the Toss menu and toss 0 of them to remove any extra stacks. The map cheats will teleport you to your desired location when you walk through a door. Remember to disable them after you are done. You can replace the codes with up to 8 different ones, these are just the ones that I liked. I found that only Action Replay codes work, and of those only a few of them. I haven't found a working infinite money code, instead use the Rare Candy cheat and sell stacks of 99 of them to the store.)

Step 5: Drag and drop the file into the /private/var/mobile/Media/ROMs/GBA folder on your iPod.

Step 6: Run gpsPhone. In game, press menu, and you can now use the Toggle Loaded Cheats menu.

The Toggle Loaded Cheats menu.

Internet Warfare?

Recently, the US Government has taken steps to curb internet piracy, introducing bills such as SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). This has sparked outrage among the internet community, some calling it a copy of the Great Firewall of China or even the start of an American totalitarian government. In response, people have decided to boycott companies in support of SOPA. Some websites, including Wikipedia, temporarily held a blackout on their sites protesting these proposed laws.

Just today, the American government shut down MegaUpload.com, accusing the company of supporting internet piracy. Soon after, websites such as justice.gov (the website of the Department of Justice) and UniversalMusic.com have been running extremely slowly or have outright crashed, probably due to a DDoS attack. A loose association of hackers, called Anonymous, has claimed responsibility. Government propaganda and media has often mislabeled Anonymous as a terrorist group. 

Please support freedom of the internet, and fight against Lamar Smith (introduced SOPA) and Patrick Leahy (introduced PIPA).
