Hack Pokemon Emerald on gpSPhone 7.1.3 with Cheats


After wanting to tryout Gameboy Advanced on my iPhone, I decided the only game I'd really even bother to waste my time playing would be Pokemon. I searched for the last release of an official Pokemon for Gameboy Advanced and I soon came to the conclusion that it was Pokemon Emerald.

Now if you don't know what I'm talking about when I mention an emulator on the iPhone for Gameboy Advanced, you probably wouldn't be here. The emulator is called gpSPhone developed by ZodTTD, you should really check him out, he's a truely devoted guy and has provided the homebrew community with all sorts of ports, thanks ZodTTD!

Now I'm going to explain to you how to use a Pro Action Replay or Gameshark code with gpSPhone 7.1.3. gpSPhone has a maximum limit of 8 cheat codes per file, so make sure you only use up to eight at any given time. The format is simple, you put the description of the cheat code on one line, then the actual code on the following line. If you are using more than one cheat be sure not to put any empty lines between them.

Note: Here are the cheat codes, I've tested them and they work, some require to enter/leave an area to activate, others require a button combination input. After you use some of the warp codes to get to certain Pokemon, you should disable the code otherwise you'll keep teleporting every time you leave the area.

Cheats must be saved in a text file named the same as your rom, such as:
pokemon_emerald.gba.cht
The .cht extension is important otherwise the cheats won't load. If you saved the text file as .txt, rename the extension to .cht. Also remember, this filename is CaSe SeNsItIvE, it must match the rom file name, with the added .gba.cht of course!

Also remember to use gpSPhone 7.1.3, any other version will not work properly. The location to place the .cht file is:
/var/mobile/Media/ROMs/GBA/

NDAA Activists Arrested in Grand Central Terminal


Yesterday, January 6th 2012, there was a protest in Grand Central Terminal against the National Defense Authorization Act which contains an amendment authorizing the military to detain American citizens indefinitely without due process, current US president Barack Hussein Obama signed this bill, it is written to allow the detention of US citizens domestically and abroad as well as foreigners, without trial.

In the video you can see protesters shouting about the NDAA bill and attempting to inform commuters at Grand Central Terminal, an educational move on their behalf. The first person to be arrested for speaking out was Lauren Digioia, the police drag her away from the scene shoving everyone in their way, everyone goes silent, not sure of what they should do next...

Shortly after Lauren was removed, a man named Zach Kamel, raised his voice, along with other protesters, to express their outrage against the arrest of Lauren for exercising her first amendment right, quickly after he starts to speak out about what has just occurred he too is arrested and taken away from the scene. I believe this is what you would call a police state, where you cannot speak up or speak out about certain policies in large numbers within a group, the leaders and the voices of the people who have the courage to speak out in public are targeted and shut up by force.

I understand the need to keep certain military affairs under wraps, but this is public knowledge which is law, why would these folks be persecuted for speaking about it?

America is speaking out and this is how they are greeted, who's next?
