Steps
-=-=
Input is where you put the code you want convert
Output is the code you wanted converted "Converted"

Example
here is the Xploder Code
AL Bhed MASTER
2A071047FFFFFFFF

and i want to put it in GS2v2.x formatt
here are the steps

1. Plug " 0E3C7DF2 1853E59E " in the KEy Code since its for GS2/AR2v2
2. in the "Output" put it to "Action Replay(+GS1/2)"
3. in the "Input" put it to "Xploder/Codebreaker"

now you are ready
copy and paste " 2A071047 FFFFFFFF " into the Input
the Output should read "DEAA442A BBA89A82" you know have your
Code. Enjoy

In Depth Guide... by Tommy24

As soon as you open the ITM converter you will see two options. An option to the LEFT below (input) that says "Action Replay(GS v1/2)" And an option to the RIGHT below (output) that says "Action Replay(GS v1/2)". The option to the LEFT (input) is the type of code that you want converted, and the option to the RIGHT (output) is what you want the code to be converted too. Now that you have a basic understanding of what the two options do, we'll start with the converting part. First what you have to do is change the option to the LEFT (input) to the type of code that that your wanting converted. Example: If the code you want to convert is an Action replay or gameshark code make sure the option to the LEFT (input) is setting on Action Replay(GS v1/2). Next what you have to do is change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the code converted to. Example: If you want to convert a code to Codebreaker then set the option to the RIGHT (output) to Xploder/Codebreaker. Now that you have your options set and your ready to start converting here's what you do.

Converting Action replay and gameshark version 1 codes. (version 1 codes are codes that only have one line of (M) code and do NOT require you to enter a key code) These codes are prolly the easiest codes to convert.

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to Action Replay(GS v1/2). Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the code converted too. And then you just type the Action replay or gameshark version 1 code in the space provided. (do NOT type anything in the space that say "Key Code") Then after you typed the code look to the right of where you just typed the code to see the code you just typed converted. And thats all you do to convert Action Replay and gameshark version 1 codes.


Converting Action replay and gameshark version 2 codes. (version 2 codes are codes that have 2 lines of (M) code and require you to enter a "Key Code") These codes are slitely harder to convert than than version 1 AR/GS codes.

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to Action Replay(GS v1/2). Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the code converted too. Then you have to enter the "Key Code" at the bottom of the converter where it says "Key Code". ( A "Key Code" is just the first line of the action replay, gameshark version 2 (M) code. )
Example: Look at the (M) code for the code(s) you want converted. You will see 2 lines of code that should look similar to this

0E3C7DF2 1853E59E <======That is your "KeyCode"!!!!!!!!!!!!
EE8883E2 BCBF0E72 <======do nothing with this.

Now after you have the "Key Code" entered in the space provided just type the code you want to convert in the space provided. Then right next to where you typed the code you wanted converted you will see that code converted. And thats all you do to convert Action Replay and gameshark version 2 codes.


Converting Xploder and Codebreaker codes ( These codes are REALLY easy to convert. )

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to Xploder/Code Breaker. Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the code converted too. And then you just type the Xploder/Code Breaker code in the space provided. (do NOT type anything in the space that say "Key Code") Then after you typed the code look to the right of where you just typed the code to see the code you just typed converted. And thats all you do to convert Xploder/Code Breaker codes.


Converting Gamshark version 3 codes ( These codes are also quite simple to convert. )

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to Game Shark 2 v3. Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the code converted too. And then you just type the Game Shark 2 v3 code in the space provided. (do NOT type anything in the space that say "Key Code") Then after you typed the code look to the right of where you just typed the code to see the code you just typed converted. And thats all you do to convert Game Shark 2 v3 codes.


Converting GoldenFinger/AR Card codes (I don't really ever mess with this option so I don't have much of a reference.)

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to GoldenFinger/AR Card. Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the code converted too. And then you just type the GoldenFinger/AR Card code in the space provided.
(do NOT type anything in the space that say "Key Code") Then after you typed the code look to the right of where you just typed the code to see the code you just typed converted. And thats all you do to convert GoldenFinger/AR Card codes.


Converting RAW codes ( RAW codes are codes that have no encryption. )

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to RAW. Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the code converted too. And then you just type the RAW code in the space provided. (do NOT type anything in the space that say "Key Code") Then after you typed the code look to the right of where you just typed the code to see the code you just typed converted. And thats all you do to convert RAW codes.


Converting codes TO Action Replay and gameshark version 2 ( Converting codes TO Action Replay and gameshark version 2 is alot different from converting codes to any other format. )

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to the type of code that that your wanting converted. Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to Action Replay(GS v1/2). Then you have to enter the "Key Code" at the bottom of the converter where it says "Key Code". ( A "Key Code" is just the first line of the action replay, gameshark version 2 (M) code. )
Example: Look at the (M) code for the code(s) you want converted to action replay, gameshark version 2 . You will see 2 lines of code that should look similar to this

0E3C7DF2 1853E59E <====== That is your "KeyCode"!!!!!!
EE8883E2 BCBF0E72 <====== Do nothing with this

Now after you have the "Key Code" entered in the space provided just type the code you want to convert in the space provided. Then right next to where you typed the code you wanted converted to action replay, gameshark version 2 you will see that code converted to action replay, gameshark version 2. And thats all you do to convert codes to Action Replay, Gameshark version 2.


Converting Action replay and gameshark version 1 (M) codes. ( You convert these just like another code. )

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to Action Replay(GS v1/2). Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the (M) code converted too. And then you just type the Action replay or gameshark version 1 (M) code in the space provided. (do NOT type anything in the space that say "Key Code") Then after you typed the (M) code look to the right of where you just typed the (M) code to see the code converted. And thats all you do to convert Action Replay and gameshark version 1(M) codes.


Converting Action replay and gameshark version 2 (M) codes. ( you convert these almost the same way as other codes. )

Change the option to the LEFT (input) to Action Replay(GS v1/2). Then change the option to the RIGHT (output) to what you want the (M) code converted too. Then you have to enter the "Key Code" at the bottom of the converter where it says "Key Code". ( A "Key Code" is just the first line of the action replay, gameshark version 2 (M) code. )
Example: Look at the (M) code for the code you want converted. You will see 2 lines of code that should look similar to this

0E3C7DF2 1853E59E <====== That is the "Key Code"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EE8883E2 BCBF0E72 <====== That is what you put in the space
where you would type a normal code. ( this is the (M) code you are going to convert. )


Here is all the ways you can convert codes.

Action Replay(GS v1/2) to Xploder/Codebreaker
Action Replay(GS v1/2) to Gameshark 2 version 3
Action Replay(GS v1/2) to GoldenFinger/AR Card
Action Replay(GS v1/2) to RAW

Xploder/Codebreaker to Action Replay(GS v1/2)
Xploder/Codebreaker to Gameshark 2 version 3
Xploder/Codebreaker to GoldenFinger/AR Card
Xploder/Codebreaker to RAW

Gameshark 2 Version 3 to Action Replay(GS v1/2)
Gameshark 2 Version 3 to Xploder/Codebreaker
Gameshark 2 Version 3 to GoldenFinger/AR Card
Gameshark 2 Version 3 to RAW

GoldenFinger/AR Card to Action Replay(GS v1/2)
GoldenFinger/AR Card to Xploder/Codebreaker
GoldenFinger/AR Card to Gameshark 2 Version 3
GoldenFinger/AR Card to RAW

RAW to Action Replay(GS v1/2)
RAW to Xploder/Codebreaker
RAW to Gameshark 2 Version 3
RAW to GoldenFinger/AR Card

_________________________________


Converting between Regions (e.g. PAL , NTSC)


Impotant:
You have an working Code for your Region e.g. PAL (but not the mastercode)

Now you have to search on the websites for the Code which have the same effect.

Example: FFX (want to get US codes working for PAL - Version (Xploder/Codebreaker)

Infinite Gil PAL
2AA3132F 05F5BABE

Infinite Gil US
1A613D30 0000FFFF

Now you have to convert both Codes to Raw/Hex - Format with a converter.


Infinite Gil PAL
2031D218 05F5BABE

Infinite Gil US
1031A028 0000FFFF


Now we take the Adresses

Infinite Gil PAL : 31D218
Infinite Gil US : 31A028


Now we take a calculator which have a "Raw/Hex" - Option e.g. Windwos Calulator.

(PAL) 31D218 - (US) 31A028 = 31F0

31F0 <--- this is our differenz between PAL and US
"PAL Code - 31F0 = US" or "US Code + 31F0 = PAL "

Now we take the Code that we want to convert into our Region..

US Open All Locations On Airship" 0A823A9E 000000FF
Raw/Hex = 00316F61 000000FF

now we have to add 31F0 to 00316F61 to get the PAL Code.

PAL "Open All Locations On Airship" = 0031A151 000000FF
