Use the cheats from http://cheats.gbatemp.net Either use the cheat.dat or usrcheat.dat but not both.

QUick question:
is there a difference between cheat.dat and usrcheat.dat?

Short Answer: No
Long Answer: Not really, one file is encrypted and the other is not. Some flashcarts support just the cheat.dat while others support only the usrcheat.dat but they are the same file, contain the same cheats just that one is encrypted. So use one or the other and not both on your flashcard. I suggest using the usrcheat.dat file over the cheat.dat file to speed things up due to the flashcard having to decrypt the file before using it.

2 options:

Change game ID in rom using a hex editor.

Option 2 change game id for game of chrono in the cheat db.

Greetz, Vistabuser.

Does anyone know if I do any of the above, my ds will crash?

Thanks

No it will not crash your DS. However, it won't do you any good anyway. The ID has 2 parts to it. The first part is the one in the header. The second part is the CRC32 calculated from the header of the game. Follow the instructions here and it will allow you to cheat on the patched game.

How wont this work?

I once changed the game id for the new guitar hero in the nds file. (so put the old game id of the old guitar hero into the new file)
Now the new guitar hero allowed me to use cheats from the old version. (was doing this to test the old no grip cheat - could sellect all cheats but the no grip cheat dint work on the 2nd guitar hero for nds.)

So changing the game id in rom will work.
And that check you talk about doesnt have anything to do with do or not show \ use cheats on flashcart.
It works and youre perfectly able to use them.

What cart do you use? It _shouldn't_ work on purpose. The cart's cheat engine only goes by an ID and ignores the CRC which means that different versions of the same game (they have the same ID) will be confused for each other. Equally (or even more) important is that some carts will view games that have a bad CRC16 in the header as corrupt and unplayable. Thus changing the ID would make it 'corrupt'.

Hi there fast reply

Cart Im using is the: DSTT (older version)(using a v1.16 firmware from the official dstt site.

And no it dint corrupt my game... as I wrote before it ran normally.
It told me I should connect the grip as I told before I was using guitar hero 1 cheats on guitar hero 2 by editing the game code in the nds file.

Is there any code that will solve the Piracy Check and prevents the ROM crashing from NO$GBA 2.6a(Freeware)

 

[enarky]

a) No$GBA 2.6a isn't freeware
b) it should work fine already

 

[cracker]

Actually it is freeware (unless you classify accepting of donations as not being freeware).
And no, it hangs on the portal screen just like on flash carts.

To answer the original question, just use the AR codes that were made by Narin (with help from others?).

 

[enarky]

2.6a still has not been released by the author. He may call it a "donation", but as long as you have to give him money in turn for the product and are not allowed to redistribute it I doubt it can be called freeware. The previous version, on the other hand, can.

Didn't know that CT didn't work with No$GBA.

 

[cracker]

Ah, now I see what you mean. I thought the usual link was the latest (as it has always been) but it seems he is kind of holding it hostage to only donors. (Though it appears he will release it to everyone for free at a later time.) This isn't anything new, beta testers have had this 'privilege' for a long time for some wares. But you can't bitch too much since freeware that is good rarely get any free will donations at all. (Hell you are lucky to get positive feedback sometimes.)

Luckily I got the debug version and the gaming version would be mostly useless to me anyways since I pretty much only use emulators for programming/debugging.

 

[enarky]

You don't believe how much I'd love to get my hands on a No$GBA Debug Version. If MK would just resurface from the dead.

iDeas has been pretty much useless so far, that's what it looks like over here: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/2098/screenshot1yt9.png

hey bro
i've patched it
and i've copied the chrono-patched.nds
it's 83MB
and i played it in my DSTT
it still didn't work
and the chrono icon in DSTT menu isn't chrono's face again but noisy icon

unfortunately, I have the same problem...I'm new to this so I might be missing something. Is it possible that your original .nds file plays a part in it other than the name chrono.nds?
Thanks ^^

EDIT: I looked for another chrono.nds starter file..and this time the patching seemed to work. I put it on my card, started up and the icon was fine. Now it simply gives me the error "[Rom loading failed] load rom errcode=-7" I am so lost at what to do

EDIT on my EDIT: Got it working, had to update my Menu to v1.6 which can be found here http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/. Game runs fine so far and I am past the millenia fair. Final conclusions, update your menu to the latest menu, use the [xenophobia] nds version! Good luck and thanks for all the help!

 

[Valitoria]

I found the solution....
But you should download the DS Firmware

 

[OnslaughtDR2K]

Having trouble patching the DSTT patch. I drag the rom into the patch file, and the DOS says it can't find the file and that it's unrecognizable. Help?

Edit- Nevermind, lol.

 

[aimansss95]

Thanks,
