Just in case anyone missed it from this thread
chishm has released his R4 decryption program to decrypt the dat files (cheat.dat and the firmware file, _DS_MENU.DAT)
You can also use it to encrypt back the files, so e.g... you can use this program to encrypt usrcheat.dat into cheat.dat so you don't need to use a blank cheat.dat
You can find it here

Noo.. You don't need to execute the file !
Go to Start - Run , cmd and hit OK go to the folder where the .exe and your .bat are..
First go to your homedirectory with 'cd\' and then use 'cd foldername' to go to your folders.. for example: cd Desktop
(For long foldernames you can do this too: cd Desk*)
Ones you're in the folder use these commands to de- and encrypt:
- Decrypt: r4crypt.exe -d _DS_MENU.DAT OUTPUT.DAT
- Encrypt: r4crypt.exe -e OUTPUT.DAT _DS_MENU.DAT
HEX-Edit the OUTPUT.DAT file or use TileMolester for the pictures..
Batch file for easier usage:
For some of you that don't know how to work with cmd I made this .BAT file.
Just copy and paste this in NotePad and save under 'All Files' as: NameOfYourChoose.BAT
The obvious update to the batch file. Can now convert between CHEAT.DAT and USRCHEAT.DAT
Code:@echo off cls :menu echo --------------------- echo   Action Menu echo --------------------- echo [1] Decrypt Firmware echo [2] Encrypt Firmware echo [3] Decrypt Cheats echo [4] Encrypt Cheats echo [5] Close echo --------------------- echo. set INPUT= Set /P INPUT= Action: if "%input%" =="" goto menu if "%input%" =="1" goto decryptf if "%input%" =="2" goto encryptf if "%input%" =="3" goto decryptc if "%input%" =="4" goto encryptc if "%input%" =="5" goto close :decryptf r4crypt.exe -d _DS_MENU.DAT OUTPUT.DAT goto close :encryptf r4crypt.exe -e OUTPUT.DAT _DS_MENU.DAT goto close :decryptc r4crypt.exe -d CHEAT.DAT USRCHEAT.DAT goto close :encryptc r4crypt.exe -e USRCHEAT.DAT CHEAT.DAT goto close :close cls
Like this you don't need to work with cmd, just make sure you put _DS_MENU.DAT, r4crypt.exe and this .BAT file in the same folder !
Then execute the .BAT file !
