Game hacking in Retroarch

[Starfiretbt]

Description

Hacking games in retroarch is really inconvenient. It looks like it works similar to Cheat Engine but instead of being able to type the value of the number I'm trying to hack I have to hold down the right or left arrow keys. If the number is large (in my case the number is 103000) than it can take 5-10 minutes to get to the desired number to search for. I also can't use cheat engine because the only value types retroarch uses are bytes and any number higher than 255 won't be found or changed.

And yes, I did not leave the cheat search on 8 bit like in the picture, I did change it to higher bits, I just took the picture to demonstrate what I was doing.

I read the posts, it looks like other people have made the same complaint. Has anything been done to make it a text input instead of a selector?
