This is the new & improved MAXConvert, so-named because it isn’t so much tied to MAXCrypt any more.

Decrypt and encrypt codes for all devices. That means all versions of CodeBreaker, Action Replay, GameShark and Xploder. It also does the verifier codes that are prepended to the new GameShark and Xploder codes, but they aren’t necessary, so far as I know.
Translate compatible code types from one device to another. MAX Convert dealt mostly with AR MAX - Other conversions. This tool has specific translations for codes to and from all formats, such as converting 9 type CodeBreaker codes to type 8 on Action Replay version 2. The translation is thorough, but not exhaustive.

Action Replay Codes Converter Online - fasrdigital. Like many emulators, OpenEmu allows the use of cheat codes to change the way a game plays (invincibility, level skipping, etc.). Cheat-code support in OpenEmu is determined by each core and its underlying emulation code. Some cores do not support cheat codes; OpenEmu knows which cores those.

Create CodeBreaker (.cbc) cheat files compatible with version 7 or with any other version that has the RSA signature check removed somehow.
Create single-game AR MAX cheat files. Name the one you want to codelist.bin on your USB drive or memory card, and the AR MAX will load these in place of the default code list. You should be able to use Mirality’s code manager to merge them into a larger code list as well, but I have not tried that.
Create AR MAX disc hashes for your games. These hashes are used by AR MAX’s Quick Mode to recognize the game inserted and take you directly to the cheats for it. (I’ve never been a big fan of this feature myself, but hey.)
Create GameShark (.p2m) cheat files compatible with any GameShark that supports their USB update feature. You can use a tool like PS2 Save Builder to move the user.dat from a .p2m file to the code save of your GameShark/Xploder/Xterminator as well. This will permit you to upload a single-game code save, even on Xploder-based devices that don’t support USB.
a short 'guide' for converting yourself. I'm assuming Action Replay to be the same format used in DeSmuME as action replay. I don't have a real AR device though, so I can't test it there.
here's the formula for AR:
8bit Write (1 byte): 2AAAAAAA 000000XX
16bit Write (2 byte): 1AAAAAAA 0000XXXX
32bit Write (4 byte): 0AAAAAAA XXXXXXXX
A is for Address, X for value. the first digit represents size.
example:
assuming I found the money cheat in FFXII: Revenant Wings, the address is 02FAF080, size 4 bytes (32bit) and i want the value to be 50m. convert 50m to hex is
my cheat will be like this:
02FAF080 02FAF080
now I want auracite. the address is 0207350C. you can't have more than 99, so size is 1 byte (8 bits). so we have to change the first digit to 2. the address is now 2207350C. convert 99 to hex, is 63. fill zeroes before it so it's 8 digits.
result:
2207350C 00000063
If you want to only activate the cheat on a button press, add a line first:
94000130 FFFB0000 for select
94000130 FCFF0000 for l+r

etc. (look at existing AR codes to find more examples)

e.g if you want 99 auracite when you press l+r, the code will be
94000130 FCFF0000
2207350C 00000063
