Ok this is really making me annoyed lol; I just started to try and use my DS again and I got GTACTW and want to use the Narin cheat file but with the GTACTW anti-piracy cheat added. I downloaded R4 Cheat Code Editor 1.01 from GBATemp, and tried to open USRCHEAT.DAT downloaded from cheats.gbatemp.net, but I get 'Cheat Code Editor MFC Application has stopped working' every time I try to open. I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of (renamed the file, tried to open the CHEAT.DAT files too, they were in the wrong format, I can't even open the actionreplay.xml one because for some reason all it is is):
CODE-
ÂÂGBAtemp Cheat Database
-
ÂÂGBAtemp Cheat Database
ÂÂhttp://cheats.gbatemp.net/latest/cheats.xml
ÂÂ

I really want to play this, if anyone can help I would be eternally grateful lol. If it helps, I have Windows Vista Premium 32bit, and I have tried to run it in compatibility modes and that hasn't helped, and neither has temporarily turning off antivirus programs.

First off, it wasn't Narins code. Or was it? I swear someone else made it.

Second. Use Yasu's cheat code editor instead, and see if that works.
Ya, I feel like such a tool; I had just been using 1.01 that I've had for like a year, not thinking .86 would be newer XD. Anyway, it worked, kind of: I could successfully edit everything and I put in the code that I needed, but it didn't show up on my flashcart. That code is for (U), right?

O and btw idk if it is Narin's or not I just thought that he always did the cheats.

OMG IF U REPLY TO THIS U WILL HAVE 1337 POSTS lol.

Heh. Sadly, my 1337th post was to a useless thread. I totally forgot to make it a big one.

Make sure you have the Game ID and everything correct.

If you need more help, just PM me. I'll help.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
