(humm...hello guys, I've just downloaded the latest version of the cheat database and I can't open the XLM document, I trie to open it with firefox with edge with notepad....none of them work on my pc so ...what can I do ? Dx)

Hello, I have a question about using cheat databases on the original R4 Revolution for DS (The second release without the spring mechanism that the first R4 card had)

I did copy cheat.dat to the system folder where the original cheat file was. I launched my R4 after and I can't find cheats for almost all games I have. The old original codelist did support Pokemon diamond codes etc. But this new list only has 3 games recognized for cheats.. What can I do to make it all work? I tried this codelist on the Action Replay DSi and it worked. 3DS CFW TWilightMenu also worked fine. Only on the R4 card it doesn't... I need a fix. I'm just tired of removing games and action replay's and wanted to import all in a single card. I already lost 2 Pokemon games before while on travel..

"have a question about the cheats. for pokemon soulsilver, the wild pokemon nature modifier, what are the triggers to activate it since it says (=), (+A -D), ETC. and the pokemon ends being having a lax nature only. i dont know what these mean."

There are no triggers for the Wild Pokemon Nature Modifier codes, they stay on at all times. (=), (+A -D), etc. are just indicators on what stats are impacted via the nature, different natures provide different results in the Pokemon's stats. I labeled them respectively next to the nature name already. Personally tested these codes just now and they work as intended, enabled the hardy nature code and caught myself a hardy nature Tentacool. I recommend rechecking what you have activated and trying again.

"also can you put the triggers for the cheats in the name for future files, i tired but i couldnt open the file."

No, there is a cheat description box just for things like that, depending on the kernel you run, you just have to either hit a button to get more information about a code or it's on by default. Some codes have lengthy instructions to activate the code and use it a certain way, simply slapping the buttons needed next to the name is one, a mess, two, it's not very optimal, and three, it's very ugly.

"also how do i put these cheats onto desmume"

Simply rename the usrcheat.dat to cheat.dat and slap the database in the Cheats folder wherever you have the emulator located. Warning though, DeSmuMe isn't 100% accurate with cheat imports, so if something doesn't show up or doesn't work the way it's supposed to, it's due to the emulator.

Sorry for the late reply, try Notepad++ next time on the xml database, it's much more friendly than what you used.

The original R4 uses an encrypted cheat database, what I provided isn't going to work unless you shave it down to size. HOWEVER I know a much more optimal option for you so you don't have to shave anything off. Try using Wood R4 on it: http://www.r4ds.com/wood-r4/wood-r4-v1.62-download.html This will give you much better game compatibility and allow you to use the more modern cheat database, usrcheat.dat, you do not have to shave the database down either. The problems you are experiencing is not because of my databases, but due to the original R4 kernel you have and use. Just use Wood R4 and it will be just fine, don't forget to enable cheats in the settings of the flashcart (simply press start and head over to the settings, hit L, R, or tap the arrows on the menu panels until you see a "Cheat AR" option, set it to on). To open the cheat menu, find a game you want to play, hit Y and select the cheats you want. You can also hit Y to view cheat descriptions for codes that have button activators or instructions.

Hello again everyone, just to give a heads up, I will be moving my cheat databases to my MEGA account for the next update and any update coming in the future. You might be wondering why the sudden change in where I host my databases, I have an answer. Filetrip as most of you know is a place that contains majority of what we love related to consoles, flashcarts, general homebrew, etc. It was a dreamland filled with history that has since been lost throughout the internet over time, unfortunately, due to some complications (I can only assume), Filetrip will end on March 31st. I personally loved this place, it allowed me to post my files, changelogs, etc when need be, sadly it was the only place I knew that had all of those abilities and then some. I had a lot of open storage to use as well, most file services tend to only provide you with such little space to use for your uploads. I am currently backing up what I can from the site, so for now everything is fine and will remain where it is at. As for news on the next update itself, still a work in progress, recently I have been very busy and preoccupied with other things, the update is coming soon however, so expect something fun! That's all I have for today folks, I hope you all enjoy your day/evening.

I added https://s1.filetrip.net/ to the waybackmachine and I also
should create a copy of it via httrack.

Send me a copy of that backup, I am currently backing it up myself, not sure if I did it right though....

Illegal File Error?? I’ve never seen that happen before. Keep in mind that the AR software only handles .xml format databases.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


The software only handles .xml, I recommend trying again with that database and see if you get any results.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


I will look into it. Didn’t you ask me before for codes for the Winx series? I could have sworn I posted some ages ago.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


I’ll look into it, though I’m pretty sure it does, I think the problem is since TWiLightMenu requires AP patches, they alter the game ID’s to the point that the cheat database doesn’t detect them. The databases only work for clean proper dumps of the games. AP patches don’t provide that kind of support because those directly modify the ROM.

Thanks for answering my comment and I found a cheat database that works with a patched New Mystery of the Emblem rom.

Hi, thanks for maintaining such database. It's great

In usrcheat.dat I found a slight mistake in the activation description of one cheat of Pokemon - Edicion Blanca (Spain) (IRAS - 11F41913)

• Max Repel (L)

It activates (in my game) with with Select, not L

I've that cheat enabled, and 100% Capture Ratio and x256 Experience Multiplier enabled too (But I'm checking the code in R4CCE and the Key-Pad action is only Select indeed)

--


BTW the "proper" rom is actually "Pokemon - Edicion Blanca (Spain) (NDSi Enhanced) [32657121]". You can find it marked as proper in the dump notes in ADVANsCEne

The AP patch is also different (as in, it makes the game not boot if enabled)

Proper patch is (patch with OpenPatch.exe)

5596 - Pokemon - Edicion Blanca (DSi Enhanced) [32657121]
00004600: D9 C4 26 28 E9 80 51 4C AF 78 10 0C D2 D4 E7 96 → 3C 00 9F E5 00 10 90 E5 38 20 9F E5 02 00 51 E1

00004EA4: 1E FF 2F E1 → D5 FD FF EA

Dunno how does that translate to cheat code though ^^"


(The AP Patch of HeartGold in Spanish doesn't match the proper release either btw, I can send the details later if you want to update it ^^

Thank you again

Edit:
PS: I have around 1.5TB available on my rig, need help backing up Filetrip? I'm using WinHTTrack to clone it to my drives but I'm not sure if it will do the job. Cheers

My databases consists of No-Intro standard game imports (Dat-o-Matic is where I get my dump information so I can verify the integrity of the dumps I have and or use), I drop bad dump support once the bad dumps are fixed. What you saw in the database wasn't CRC but the second ID to the ROM. What I imported is indeed the correct dump. I am also aware of the AP cheats, however I have already tweaked some of them for the 2.2.0 update (changed a single byte). The reason it freezes the game is because you are overlapping what the kernel already supports. I have tested quite a few of them on older flashcarts that had no support for some of these titles and they work flawlessly. Testing the AP codes on any modern day flashcart will result in a game freeze with a white screen.

Looking into the mistakes you mentioned as well, it will be fixed for the upcoming update. Keep in mind the codelist for Blanca in its current state was NOT done by me but by someone else in the past, I haven't revised the codelist yet and added my own to it.
