Or, if possible, have the actual Game Genie rom boot first and then be able to enter codes and start the game. Retroarch has a code option but I think it's all hex addresses and junk.

The cool part was to discover that the most used tool was only for Windows but was including the source code… in BCX-BASIC.
So I looked for a tool that convert this language to another that can run on Linux, patching it to use the command line and optimizing it.
The final touch was a GUI that can generate a IPS patch like the original tool, but also test the converter to generate a C and C++ version (this one just for fun).

So you can find everything on GitHub and the official release with a built version of the tool.
The tool is published also on RomHacking, so I can say that I am officially contributing to the rom hack scene.
