Linux VBA Cheat help?

Is there a way to enter gameshark cheat codes with the Linux SDL version of VBA?

I'd like to know this too.

There are no cheats on Linux, at least not on the SDL version. I don't know if the GTK version had it or not.

I installed Wine, and after some fiddling, got VBA to "work" in it. It was enough to do the one cheat I wanted to, but the graphics and sound were flaky. Thankfully, VBA savestates are compatible between Linux and Windows.

that's too bad, not that I needed it just wanted to know for sure. it would be nice if some linux developers could join forces with the vba team and make a gtk version of vba with cheat support, too bad I don't know how to program at all.

Well anyways thanks for telling me what I wanted to know.

I wonder if the SDL version would load a cheat file created by some other version? If so, you could have someone with windows create the cheat file for you, then use it on linux.
