I am new to Linux and I have no clue as of what I am doing. So I downloaded the VBA emulator and have been playing fine. Only one problem, I don't have cheats working on it. there is a patch that was released but I don't know how to use it [url]http://forums.ngemu.com/visualboy-advance-discussion/108222-patch-cheat-support-sdl-version.html[/url] can somebody please teach me how to use this .diff file so I can patch it to my emulator?
[quote=thread]Download the attached ZIP file, apply using cat | patch -p0, then do the usual ./configure; make; make install dance.[/quote] You download the VBA 1.7.2 source code, extract that diff in its directory, execute: cat [i]diff file name[/i] | patch -p0 Then compile it. From your post I take it though that you don't know how to do that, nor know what that even is? And you installed VBA using a package manager?
