So, yeah, once again, I'm having a cheat problem...
I patched my version of Chrono Trigger and I have played it all of the way to the warp area and it works.
The thing that's bothering me now is the fact that there are no cheats available.

I have already downloaded the latest and most up-to-date version of the USRCHEAT.dat which was dated 02 Dec 2008 08:28.

The name of the file on my R4 (with YSmenu instead of the original R4 kernal) is chrono-patched.nds.
Can I even change the name of the file without messing everything up?

All help is appreciated!
Once you patched a game, the Game ID changes so the cheats won't show up for it. So you have to manually update the Game ID in the cheat database using the r4cce application by Yasu or use a clean ROM and use the cheats to bypass the piracy check.

I'm not sure how the R4 patches the games to execute the cheat function so it's possible that an already patched game will break when patched on the fly by the R4. I suggest using either the unpatched game and the R4's cheat function for the fix and cheats or patching everything in with DSATM and not using the R4's cheat function at all.

How do I find out the game ID for the Chrono-Patch version?

Made a quick fix using DSATM, tested the patched rom on my R4, works like a charm~ (no crashes in warp sequence and Cathedral scene)
Thought I'd make a small one-click patcher for y'all

So here ya go!

This is a non-M3/Sakura fix (at least that's what I imagine after seeing there were alternate fix codes for M3s for the Japanese version of the rom as well)

http://www.mediafire.com/?nz5hyxmzxmm

You may notice the patcher has a slight Chrono Trigger flavor

I just love that tune!!

Instructions:
1. Unpack the patcher
2. Place rom in same directory as patcher
3. Rename rom to chrono.nds
4. Run the patch
5. Enjoy!

Feel free to comment/report if it worked for you.

Should work fine with an untrimmed US dump *cough*Xenophobia*cough*

All thanks go to Narin for the code, cracker for the amazing DSATM, the xdelta team, diablo2oo2 for dUP2 ;D
..and this amazing community I just can't live without, ever since I got a DS

Tested last night on G6 Lite (slot 2) with latest firmware. Direct copy (Force R/W) only.
Am now past Area 11 (?) in "unknown" period.
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who worked on this.

Hey guys, Alright some of you seem to be having problems i just got it to work. Mind you i dont have a NDS i have No$GBA and it runs 100% fine.

When you extract the TTDS file RENAME THE FOLDER! This is probably why alot of you are not getting the new file chrono-patched.nds. Rename the folder it to "ct" or something since the characters used not being read by dos.

so

Step 1. Get the rom
Step 2. download http://www.mediafire.com/?jqylgzmjwm2
Step 3. Extract patcher to wherever and rename the folder to ct
Step 4. Run the patch and use the patched chrono-patched.nds
Step 5. Enjoy the game

Step6. ONLY IF YOU ARE USING NO$GBA emu - goto Option - Emulation setup- NDS cartridge backup Media Select "FRAM32Kbytes"


hope this helps some who are still having difficulty.

Hey guys, I tried to figure the patch out but with all the posts I just ended up totally confused.

I've tried the cracker patch but it still bugs up at the time warp. I have a m3 perfect SD and the m3wiki instructions didn't work because the icon was all futzed up and when ran it was black.

I'm not too familiar with patches so can someone explain it step by step for me?

Really, thanks alot in advance.
