Description

Augh, I know, another feature request. But it's something I've been
wondering for a while now and maybe I can finally get some answers. Also,
if someone already made an issue report like this, sorry!

I was wondering if it could be possible to add encrypted Action Replay
codes into Dolphin's game properties window? There are two reasons this
could be a good thing for the user ~ you don't need to track down
gcncrypt.exe in your User folder and load it up just to decrypt a code (you
can even get rid of the program altogether!) + it can be incredibly easy
for the user to just add his/her own codes without any unnecessary work. I
can think of multiple ways you can do this:

1.) Convert encrypted -> decrypted codes in Dolphin itself manually (no
need to use gcncrypt, Dolphin has it's own window).
2.) Make a shortcut to gcncrypt.exe somewhere in the properties window for
easy access (I kinda didn't know about the program in the first place until
I read the FAQ over at dolphin-cheats-database). This would be the cheapest
way to make it easier for the user to add encrypted codes.
3.) Dolphin can handle both encrypted and decrypted code input at the same
time (have both encrypted and decrypted codes in your code list). You would
have to program Dolphin to accept encrypted codes or convert them to
decrypted codes before the game starts.
4.) Any encrypted code entered while editing the code list will
automatically be decrypted upon clicking "Add" or loading up the .ini file.

That's all I can think of for now. Another thing you could do is show the
encrypted code on one part of the window it's displayed and show the code
decrypted on another part - both being in the same window of course. Sounds
useless, but it could be a nice way to check and see if the decrypted code
differs differently from the encrypted code (I think I've had this happen
to me a few times, thus making the codes not work the way it should - I'm
not sure on this).

Again, like all feature requests, you can troll this and throw it to the
sharks if you want. Just wanted to throw these ideas out there for you guys
to maybe think about if you ever plan on having something like this in Dolphin.

Thanks for listening!
