Most PC emulators, certainly the big three of VBA-m, mgba and no$gba, support codes of the major styles

Some of the android and such emulators might not have support for codes. Fortunately you can hardpatch codes into games
http://gbatemp.net/threads/gba-auto-trainer-maker-gbaatm.99334/ is the main one for this sort of thing these days.

Ignoring the hardpatching stuff then how you would do it varies.
If you have something like
https://filetrip.net/gba-downloads/...eats-databases-4-27-09-with-names-f31444.html
It should be fairly easy and the emulators will take codes in a menu somewhere for them.

If you have the encrypted codes they give out with the codebreaker and action replay then you might need some of the tools from http://doc.kodewerx.org/tools.html#gba to sort them out.

I should also link http://doc.kodewerx.org/hacking_gba.html which covers what GBA codes are encoded as and what they do. Can be useful if rather than 99 of an item via cheats you only want 10 as that makes play better for you.

Thanks for the quick answer. I like the VisualBoyAdvance. How could i load cheats from a file that i´ve found on the internet? What extension does the file need to open it in the emulator?

I can't recall offhand and some versions might have improved things since I last went there.
Most databases will be text based though so assuming you don't have to decrypt it you just open in a text editor and copy-paste in there.

I want to load the file that contains all codes. For example there are 25 natures and it takes time to copy and paste all of them. The only file extensions that are recognised by VisualBoyAdvance-M-WX are VBA cheat lists (.clt) and CHT cheat list (.cht). Which converter should i use? The file that i´ve found on the internet has a .html extension
