These cheats are mostly intended for older kernel builds that may not have AP fixes built in for certain titles or ROM hacks that carry too many changes that prevent the built in fixes from working properly. Majority of flash devices now a days has a kernel of sorts that works for most titles that people actually play, I recommend you only enable these if there's absolutely no other option left and you are facing issues in-game.
Glad the problem was solved, yea you have to stay up on the software sometimes, things may seem like they work at first but eventually something will poke its ugly head out and give you problems. Obviously you don't need to update stuff right away but you know, be moderate about it, don't just sit on one thing forever, software will fail eventually.
That's really strange, I've imported all of these to these devices at one point during testing before, they all worked fine for me. The only error I've ever gotten was the variant mentioning no space left to hold the cheats (the devices are limited to 2.5MB of data, so you can't hold a lot of cheat code lists). From the looks of your issue, maybe your download was corrupted, because there shouldn't be issues with the game ID and such, like I said I didn't have this happen on my end before. Try downloading the database again and seeing if that fresh download fixes the issue.
I've tried downloading your database again and it didn't fix the issue.
No idea on this, maybe bad dumps? If they are ROM hacks of sorts then that might be why. I know I don't have cheats for every single game out there, so of course there's also a chance that maybe I don't have any for these either.
i'm so sorry but i am a tech noob and i have no idea how to even edit my game
well you linked a post about action replay hex codes, and i assume i'd have to edit the game files and i have no idea how to do thst + i would have to decrypt the file because if i open the .nds file it shows a bunch of random symbols
First, patching the files for the game is not needed if you are applying AR codes directly to the ROM.
ok i am really really sorry but i don't even know how to patch game files
There's no need to apologise, you haven't done anything wrong in this case, it's all about learning from other people's experiences - and that's what GBAtemp is for.ok i am really really sorry but i don't even know how to patch game files
i have done a bit of research but i can't find anything particularly helpful.
like, do i just need to make a folder on my sd card or do i need the actual AR cartridge? or do i need to somehow change a line of code in the rom itself?
