I really don't know why its not working i did the same thing when i created the .txt file for the wii and gc codes.
I know it has to mat the game name exactly, which i did and renamed it from .txt to .CHT.
And it does show up, but as gibberish/blob txt and it dont do anything.
Do i have to format it a cretin way? or does anyone know of a link to a site with cheats i can use with it?
SNES9X doesn't use the cheats from GeckoCodes, because SNES9X isn't a Virtual Console Emulator, which was what the codes made on GeckoCodes are for.
It uses the original .cht files that might've been created with a GameGenie or something similar.
You can download a .cht pack made for SNES games here:

Be sure to name the file the same as the ROM is named.
Thanks for the info, i downloaded the You can download a .cht pack made for SNES games here"
but it still comes out as gibberish maybe its the cheat tool it's self i wish they had other version of it.
