Hi, Could anybody help me with using ocarina cheats on usb loader gx?? I have downloaded gecko and ocarina, set gecko to OSSleep-whatever, set ocarina on in general and game settings, still with no luck. I am trying to use the keep lives cheat on Super Mario Galaxy 2. PLEASE HELP!! :blink: :nayps3:

Mmm... you wouldn't happen to have switched from CFG recently --- have you?

I tried to add a few cheats to make sure my settings were right before telling you --- but the cheats didn't take effect. But... oddly an old code I enabled (16 clouds) did take effect, and that GCT was in my old SD:/usb-loader/codes file.

My codes path is definitely set to SD:/codes/ but... I had modified all my covers to be the ol' CFG ones.

Also --- why mention downloading Ocarina / Gecko? Those have been embedded in most loaders for a while now.

EDIT: And mine seems to be fixed... just confirmed the path in the settings / removed the old folder.

Nope. Just a codes folder. Hmmmmm. How did you get yours to work with the settings? Sorry about all the dumb questions. I'm new to usb loader gx.
Thanks! ;)

My settings are...
Global
Loader
-Ocarina: Off
-Hooktype: VBI (Default)
-Wiird Debugger: Off
Custom Paths
-GCT CheatCodes Path: sd:/codes/
-TXT Cheatcodes Path: sd:/txtcodes/
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Game Load
-Ocarina: On
-Hooktype: Use global
-Wiird Debugger: Use global
(Remember, per-game doesn't save unless you click save)
Ocarina
1) Update (downloaded the cheat txt)
2) Multi Teleporter -> On (Z + dpad down to save location, Z + dpad up to warp)
3) Infinite Star Bits -> On
4) Infinite Start Bits (Starship Mario) -> On
5) Create -> Ok
6) Back out to "Start" and play

That's absolutely everything I've done right now (down to the exact cheats, easy ones to see in action). If it doesn't detect the GCT file when you hit start, it should say something about the file being missing.

If it loads but doesn't none of the codes seem to work, search your SD card and delete any instance of SB4E01.gct (or SB4P01 if a PAL copy) and retry those steps.
