No dice. You might want to look into compatibility with cheats in your next nds-bootstrap update. I'll PM you more info on my setup.
The wierd thing is I have over 200 ds games on my 3ds using twighlight. I have tested round about 30 using cheats and the cheats work on all of them. So I have zero Idea why cheats aren't working for you.

I read online that DeadSkullzJr.'s cheat database doesn't work. If it helps, I deleted all games but the ones I'm playing in that database, and kept only the cheats I would be using. Is that a problem?

Use the twighlight menu updater on page one of this thread to download cheats for your games. Thats what I did and haven't had any issues so far.

This fixed 2 of my games, but the one I really need cheats for still isn't working.
The game is LostMagic (US) [AM9E]. @Robz8 can you test this game and find out what the problem is? You too, @AmandaRose.

I can give it a go for you in a few hours as not at home at the moment.

I remember some Pokémon and Mario Kart Cheats are not working (correctly).:)
(and maybe only on the DSi)
But it was maybe fixed with the last Database Build.

Thank you.:)

Thanks, as usual, @Robz8 !

I'm running TWLMenu++ 16.1 just using the flashcard, and it's only SMS games that have a problem. It behaves the same on my DSi and DS Lite.

I downgraded the flashcard to TWLMenu++ 16.0, and that fixed the issue. I played around a bit with the differences between 16.0 and 16.1, and I found that if I set up 16.1 (I verified the SMS games issue still existed), and then replaced the single file _nds/TWiLightMenu/dsimenu.srldr with the 16.0 version, the SMS issue is fixed. However, YSMenu support when B4DS is turned off is broken, which worked fine on 16.1 before I replaced that file - I get the error message "Error! Flashcard may not be supported. Flashcard name: DSTT DLDI(boyakkey ver.) Press B to return.".

I've got another make of flashcard on its way in the post. I'll see if get better SMS results with that. :-)

Thanks again for all your amazing work!

Just a quick update on the issue I was seeing (menu freezes on game launch) when starting Gamegear and SMS games, running TWLMenu++ 16.1 from a R4SDHC (R4iSDHC dot com card) flashcard. I've found that changing the TWLMenu++ refresh rate from 60hz fixes the issue, so now I have YSMenu support and SMS/GG games working. :-) Thanks again to @Robz8 !

The key combo is different, depending on your flashcard and kernel.

@Robz8 The codes just suddenly started working yesterday afternoon (EST). The only change I made was to use the Updater to install the latest release of nds-bootstrap, then switch to it in the game settings. This means 2 things: Firstly, that the 'latest' release available on the DS-Homebrew Github (linked to in the OP) isn't actually the latest, but the one at /RocketRobz/TwiLightMenu-update is newer. That, and that the latest nds-bootstrap nightly has broken cheat compatibility with LostMagic, can be drawn from this.

Edit: Also, it can be deduced that the version of nds-bootstrap hosted on DS-Homebrew also has broken cheat compatibility with most games, if not all.

Making a post here after being a long time user of your work gotta say I love the progress made since I last posted. However, I've been curious about a childhood game I used to play Surf's Up and noticed it was still in the testing queue. Is there a line for those games or is there anyway for me to get them working? I would play on an emulator but the original controls are so much better for touchscreen oriented games such as this one. If there is a way to get this game working as well as others in that list please let me know. Although I understand if not.
