Oops—The last version contained a fatal error. This version simply fixes it.
Introduction
This program is freeware, and I designed it for one purpose-to store my Game Genie™ codes. I had countless numbers of text files floating around on my hard drive containing codes to FF games, but I couldn’t find them because they were so scattered. That’s when I set to work on this program, and came up with the interface and encoding stuff. It was pretty easy to do—just work on a little part at a time per day. After a while, I decided to add my game codes to it instead of working on it some more, and came up with RPG file included with this software.
What can you do with this?
With the GGCS, you can post your favorite game codes on your World Wide Web page with advanced HTML features, you can distribute your codes locally through a BBS with the Save As... option, and for the IBM people, you can export and convert the codes.
Troubleshooting
These documents are in HyperCard™ format. If you want to use the GGCS, you have to either have a copy of HyperCard, a copy of the HyperCard player on your hard drive, or the GGCS in application form. I wouldn't recommend getting it in application form, because HyperCard applications take up 800k (minimum!). Getting both of these versions to work is a little tricky.
Using the 2.2+ version, you get instantaneous list sorts, a faster response rate, and a few other advantages. If you have HyperCard 2.0-2.1 and use the 2.2+, you will get some errors like “Can’t understand arguments of ‘sort’.”. This is because there are newer features in 2.2+, and HyperCard 2.0-2.1 can’t handle them.
How do I get used to this?
Simply open a file using the "Open" menu item, click on a game in the upper left column, and you'll get a list of the codes associated with that game. Click on the code for a description in the top field. If you get something that says "Embedded XX", click on it. What this means is that it is a link to a text file which is too big for the description box. The description box will enlarge to full screen to give you the entire description, blocking out everything else.
