Changing a file name works?

[Slayer408]

Ok, um. I have a cheat file for a game that was japanese. Now i have the english version and i tried changing it to the japanese file name, but i didn't get any cheats. Is it because it is not the japanese version, or should it work just by changing the name?

It would help if you told us the console you were using.

Also wrong section.
