A tool for managing cheat codes on the Nintendo Wii. Developed by James0x57, this homebrew application allows you to download cheat codes from the WiiRD database and store them on an SD card. The codes can then be used with the Gecko OS or OS Mod, by creating a .gct file.

Note: Please use at your own risk.

Features

Download codes from the WiiRD Code Database.
Edit codes saved on the SD Card.
Turn On the codes and create gct file.
Self-Update if an update is available.
Shiny, easy to use user interface.
Automatically detects removal of SD Card.
Automatically attaches universal codes to the file you download if they exist.

Installation

Copy the AccioHacks folder to the apps folder in the SD Card's root directory.

If you use another folder, the self-update still sends the new files to SD:\apps\AccioHacks\.

User guide

Adding codes from outside the app:

SD:\codes\X\L\GAMEID.txt.
X - Channel Letter ID (Seen in Accio Hacks and on GeckoCodes in brackets, Wii = R).
L - The first letter of the title of the game. or '#' if it starts with a number.
The file format, including the file name, is exactly the same as when you download the txt from GeckoCodes.org.

Controls

Wii Remote/Classic Controller Plus - Display controls on any connected controller

GameCube Controller X - Display controls on any connected GameCube controller

Accio Hacks v1.0.0 (Cid2Mizard)

Known issues

If the total number of characters returned in an online list of available games (per system per letter) is > 8000, none will be returned.

This is very unlikely to happen but it's actually a PHP + Apache bug.
In the event of this very unlikely situation, this affects all versions of Accio Hacks.

If a listing of available games (per system per letter) is > 150, Accio Hacks will probably code dump.

This applies both to SD lists of games and to Online lists and affects all versions of Accio Hacks.
The limit for Online lists was increased to 250 in Accio Hacks v1.1
Currently, the largest possible list is 137 games: "[R] Wii - S - (*) Any/All Regions"

There is a 900 code limit per game, the rest are abandoned when the txt file and gct are saved. This does NOT cause crashing.

Games Affected: Monster Hunter 3 (US with 33,215 codes and PAL with 2,919).
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn (US) is close with 892 codes.
The average number of codes per game is only 59. There are no plans to significantly increase this limit. (enough requests could change that, however)

Cannot Download VC Arcade games, reports (404).

Only Effects v0.9 (not v0.9.1).
