Homebrew customizing cheat databases?

[Mr_Campino]

lately i have been trying to add custom codes for pokemon pearl and diamond into the USRCHEAT.dat database. I am running akaio 1.5 on an acekard 2i, and cheats/games work perfectly, except i can't seem to add a custom code to the database. I have successfully added the code using r4cce086, and saved it as a .dat file, but when i move that cheat database onto __aio/cheats, the cheat i added just doesn't show up when i try to select it on my ds. i think this may have something to do with the CC folder, because if i remove the CC folder, no cheat databases show up when trying to select cheats on my ds.

i am wondering if anyone knows how i can successfully add a cheat to USRCHEAT.dat

thanks in advance for any help =D

remember to SORT after you add a new game (do it on r4cce)

remember to rebuilt after you add your own codes (do it on the cheat menu)

Oh ok thanks, I must have completely overlooked sort, what is it's purpose and how do I do it?

it is a feature on r4cce...to make things organised!

why sort? if you don't sort your database
you might get a freeze whenever you try to load up the cheat for the game..
anyway, i am not sure this issue had been tackled on akaio 1.6

thanks for all your help, i just selected rebuild on the cheat menu, how long should this take? and what is actually accomplished by rebuilding it?

a few seconds or less
depends on the amount of cheats you have for the game

without sorting.. you might get stucked on that forever

rebuilding works like update?
so whatever you added will be reflected..
