Different ways of making codes help

[dragonboy269]

I fully understand how to make a simple code with activators using a program called EmuCheat (similiar to EmuHaste and others) But i've been looking around this forum and saw another method called ASM. Can anyone tell me what the difference between making codes using Emucheat (or similiar program) and ASM. Also what method is better? Or ar they the same?

Well, for bigger codes, you might wanna use ASM because it can be a lot shorter than using regular code types
for smaller codes, just use normal code types


for example, lets say you wanted to make an infinite money code, and the max amount of money you can hold is 99,999

so, a regular code type will look like this (if the address is uh 022D6710)

022D6710 0001869F

in ASM it would be

ldr r1,=0x22D6710
ldr r2,=0x1869F
str r2,[r1]
bx lr

which turns into

023FF090 012FFF11
E0000000 00000018
E59F1008 E59F2008
E5812000 E12FFF1E
022D6710 0001869F
023FF090 E3520003

that isn't really a good time to use ASM but its a simple example

i always use ASM, it's easier for me to remember what each thing does
i always forget the normal code types, except D2 and the activators
