Value set to 22 does not change in game values.

Using the built in cheat system to search a data address with change values.

https://wiki.desmume.org/index.php?titl … in_DeSmuMe

Same process was used in both versions using the same rom using the same searches
Desired address was found by multiple searches for the value as it changed

Let's assume you are playing a game in which the value of first character's item has 50 uses.  We want to either freeze that value or increase it.

1. The size of the data in this case is only 255 max so we a single byte

2. Click "search", and enter use value of the long sword in the next window. In this case, it's 50. Click "search again".

3. Close the cheat searching window and we swap the long sword with 50 user with a potion with 4 uses

4. Go back into the search menu, and this time run a search for 4. What actually happened is that in the above search the emulator found all of the addresses that at the time of the search were equal to 50 and saved them. This second search is called a filter search - it goes through the previous found addresses and finds the ones that changed to 4. This essentially weeds out addresses that matched the initial search by coincidence in order to find the desired address.

5. After the second search, the number of results shown should be considerably lower. At this time there are three options: either there is only one result left, there are more than one, or there are none.  There were two results left in this case.
6. Click "view", and a window with the address and the value will appear. Click the line that holds the current health points value, and click "Add".

7. Change the value in the new window to 49 for one of them and 48 for the other one.
Then we go into game and see if one of those value replaced 50.   In this case 48 uses replaced whatever item is placed in the first slot.
This worked for both the Long Sword and Potion (48 is not possible in the normal game for potion)

Whereas the process in the guide above worked for 0.9.11 it does not work in the new version.
The search system works fine in both versions give the same results (as it should with the same rom)
but when clicking ADD cheats they do not function in the new version.

I'm experience user who has been using desmume for its entire existence and there have been times in the past where cheats were broken in a release and fixed in another so its not unusual.
