Thank you very much for taking the time to add it.

Have they been added in the databases of this topic (link)? is that I see the latest edition of the topic September 3, 2020 and the databases June 11, 2020.
No, those were just mere edits to the topic post itself, when I'm ready to release a database update, I generally make an update post. If the version and date for the current version doesn't change, then that's how you know nothing has been updated for the public yet.

Quite ago I downloaded your usrcheat.dat file and added it to mi M3izero Flascart. Last summer My microsd was corrupted so I downloaded The free NDS for Android. The usrcheat.dat that come with the emulator seems yours #0. The cheats for Radiant Historia worked in the M3izero catridge but in the FreeNDS emulator doesn't appear.
The copy of Radiant Historia that I ha e is an unofficial Spanish translation.

Smalll question is thisable to beusedfor injected ds games on 3ds? main reason being as i hate using flash cards.
When you mean "injected", do you mean using DS forwarders? Those require the physical game cartridges, considering how they work when using forwarders, no you cannot use cheats at all that way. You have to use either flashcarts, NitroHax (real game carts only), or TWiLightMenu to run cheats for DS games on real hardware.

Some of what you said unfortunately I didn't understand, but based on this, it sounds like there is some form of error between the patched game and the usrcheat.dat. I just checked the cheat databases for the translated version of Radiant Historia, it doesn't appear to be there, which is likely why cheats don't show up for you. I had to clear out the list of translated games because some of them were using wrong information regarding the patched dump, so I decided to start fresh and add translated hacks myself into the databases to confirm they were correctly entered in. I will look into this however and add it for the 2.5.0 update!

Hello everyone,

It has been a really long while now since the last update post. I know with the last update I didn't really offer one, and that was because I was pretty busy at the time. I am still pretty busy, however I've been able to make time to update a bunch of stuff for the work in progress update, v2.5.0. Things have been pretty hectic for a while now, so progress has been up and down throughout the process, however I am doing my very best as usual to make sure the content I give is 110% worthy for public use.

Speaking of 110% worthy content, the databases are comprised of not just cheat codes made by me, but also those made by developers over the time span of 10+ years. Unfortunately knowledge wasn't up to date on the matter of cheats throughout the years, due to this issue, many cheat codes posted on the internet or were created over the years aren't always made optimally or correctly, the results may vary on the code used, and while some do work the way you want them to, under the hood they don't exactly look too nice and hog more space than they need to (memory limitations exist after all). With this in mind, I have been doing a major operation on the databases to completely replace anything I find unfit for the public to use with cheat codes I personally created to fit the bill better. By no means am I dissing the works of the original creators of the original codes, I merely just want to offer the best possible when I can, I still respect the works of the original creators, I just can't sit on gambling saves and what not though (back in the day, not every code worked right, some broke save data badly as well, that's a big no-no in my vocabulary), I want people to be able to confidently use my databases without having to worry if their data is going to be safe or not. So far I haven't had any reports of codes destroying save data and what not, and that's a good thing, I want to keep it that way though as best as possible.

The databases have come a very long way since its conception, and it's thanks to everyone who contributed over the years. They may not have started out smoothly, and for a short time they were left abandoned, however I am happy that I had the chance to put my dedication and piece into them, giving hopefully good content for you guys and gals. It's kind of funny how a project that started out as something for personal use only, ended up where it is today. The journey is far from over though, I am not ready to call it quits, so expect more updates to come (or get tortured by me, either way works for me).

You didn't see that last part there, you are just hallucinating and or crazy.


Note for TWiLightMenu Users:
Just to give a heads up, I am aware of the situation regarding some codes not working when using TWiLightMenu. As I have stated in the past, one of the code types is a little funny with nds-bootstrap. I've already talked with the developers behind the project and managed to help them a bit on fixing it, so partial support exists for the code type, however most codes still won't work right yet, so things are still a bit wonky on that part, but please be patient, the issue is known and is planned to be fixed one way or another, things just take time to look into and what not.

Hi,
Currently I'm playing Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (Legacy dump) in my Free Ds for Android. I saw that you added Easy seal drawing but It seems that doesn't work? How it is supposed to work?

You generally just let it do its thing when it's enabled, some users had to tap the screen once it make it work. Haven't had a report of it not working, but it is beta, so results may vary.

Way ahead of you by a few days.

Hello, I'm currently playing Fire Emblem - Shin Monshou no Nazo - Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu with a fan translation patch (the one linked in the Fire Emblem wiki). According to the cheats list, there should be cheats available for this game but whenever I try to enable some the menu says that no cheats have been found. How can I fix this?

You probably only went up to 3.01 instead of 3.03:
Code:
    File: Fire Emblem - Heroes of Light and Shadow (v3.03) (Japan) (Rev 1) (NDSi Enhanced).nds
  CRC-32: eea09777
     MD5: 908fa376eb04ba3c412c73a08d479e68
   SHA-1: b5b6a519d01a669475c46f2a4fa0c65b5f404fa0
 SHA-256: 3d469ae2706c85e36dd8a2fb0303fccdbf68b9af0c51fa9350524b357a3999a3
If your result doesn't match this, then that's why cheats won't show up for you.

I copied a rev1 .nds file without the translation patch and I can see the cheats, applying the patch screws everything up. Are there any workarounds?

What you saw was vanilla cheats, and the reason why they disappear when you apply the patch is because the information doesn't match the vanilla, however I did add 3.03 to the databases already, you just need to find that 3.03 beta patch.

Man... your work on the NDS Cheat database is amazing. That said, is there any chance you might be looking at the 3DS cheats? They appear to be in sore need of some attention from someone with your degree of dedication. I haven't been able to get a single one working for me (to be honest i don't even know where to start).
