Hacking Chrono Trigger problems

[DeltaBladeX]

Got a copy of Chrono Trigger DS (region unknown) and can't get it to work on my official DSTT with TTMenu or YSMenu. I've downloaded the latest USRCHEAT.dat but while other games know its there, this game doesn't have it show up. I've also tried both the JP and US patches. The JP patch resulted in a corrupted card while the US patch gives the same blank screens as an unpatched version. I've also tried the original version with TTMenu V1.17a01 in the hope it was an EU release but no luck there. Short of finding another download link, does anyone have any ideas I could try to run it? I've checked several other topics first but none of the fixes worked.

try obtaining the rom file again from a different place it could just be a bad rom.
also don't use the patches only the codes dstt carts don't seem to like to work with the patched roms so look for a clean rom.

Thanks for the quick reply. Guess I'll be looking for another ROM then. Was hoping to avoid that due to dial up. Hopeful I can find one that works.

still on dial up?
dude ditch that and just by a wifi adapter odds are there is some unencrypted wireless near you.
that's what i'm doing hehe.....

I'm in New Zealand. Even the broadband internet connections available from ISPs down here are still wired unless you live in one of the bigger cities. I either have unlimited dial up or a broadband connection I blow through in a day (wow, 1 gig? I'll never use all that in a month) after which I pay by the megabyte. Never go to New Zealand if you are addicted to the internet.

the only reason why cheats don't show up on your DSTT / Ysmenu it is because your rom is PATCHED
go get a clean rom
the cheat database supports clean rom only

Well, I was going to get another ROM anyway but at least that explains why it wasn't showing the codelist.
