Has anyone else encountered an issue with Pokemon Ruby/Emerald/Saphire cheats where they are only partially working?
For example whenever I turn on the Infinite Money cheat and enable it via CHEATON option, it doesn't actually work. None of the "Item in PC" cheats work, the only one that is partially working is the one that is "one hit kill". But even that cheat after few battles breaks the game, where I begin to only encounter pokemons that are just this giant ? with no health and when you beat it you get 1exp. In regular trainer battles the cheat then ceases to work.

Not sure if cheats for those games are just not supported or if the ones offered by ez flash download are not valid ones.
I've updated to latest firmware and kernal versions as well.

There are 3 revisions of both Ruby and Sapphire, you must use cheats made for the same revision you are using.
Emerald only has one revision however.
As for cheats breaking the game, that is just what happens sometimes. I once sequence broke my Zelda Wind Waker save by playing around with cheats (I didn't even do anything that should've affected the story in any way), I couldn't progress the story because it thought I was at an earlier point for some reason so the item I needed to progress wasn't there, and had to start over from the beginning. And I've had cheats cause crashes or freezes in emulators countless times. So yeah, cheats aren't necessarily stable at the best of times.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
