Gecko Code Manager Windows Application by Link

Gecko Code Manager is a Windows application for managing codes and creating the GCT File. There are two versions included in the download. Version 1.2 is a little more updated but functionally they both do the same thing. When creating a GCT File it can be exported straight to an SD Card. Version 1.2 however puts the file in the wrong location where as the original puts it in the correct location. Version 1.2 however keeps track of how many lines are being used with all the codes you currently have turned on. Which is useful as the limit is 425 lines so it can make it easy to tell if you have to many codes.

Within the Gecko Code Manager you can create and add codes. From there you can save them to at text file. By doing it within the application itself it will format the codes in the text file on it's own. However it's generally easier to just create the text file and edit it with a text editor.
