Cheat Parse Problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copy attached cheat file (ULUS-10160.txt) to your MS and load it in a game.

What is the expected output? Properly parsed cheat list.

What do you see instead? Incorrectly parsed cheat list, error is noticeable 
starting after "Little Willie (Small Helicopter) in Garage" cheat. Maybe a bug 
when code names are longer than 31 characters?

What version of the product are you using? r90

On what operating system? 6.38 ME

Please provide any additional information below.

Other notes:

 - On 6.xx firmwares Sony started resetting home screen backcolor to the default color after resuming from standby. If the cheat menu is visible when putting the PSP into standby on a 6.xx firmware a blue screen will appear on resume instead of the cheat menu.

 - If I press the HOME button to exit the menu it is challenging to make it appear properly again.

 - Maybe it would be wise to take into consideration the possibility that the user may not have made some mistakes in their code file and try to correct them on load? (refer to tests.txt)

Attached a new tests.txt file with some changes.

I noticed that the "Pointer Code" doesn't show the 0xFFFFFFFF in the address 
(maybe this is by design?) and it also crashes the PSP when it is enabled, 
tested on other NitePR mods with success.

The cheat loading has been rewritten but will likely still have the same sort 
of error.  I will test with your file.

The addressing issue should be solved now.  You should be able to mix and match 
between 0x0000 based addresses and 0x0880 based addresses.
The overflowing cheat name has been solved now.  You should no longer be able 
to overflow the cheats by specifying a name that is too long.

Thanks, cheat parsing seems to be working good now. :)

Though, I think it would be more user friendly if you could easily make the 
menu re-appear after exiting using the HOME button.
