got the latest USRCHEAT.DAT (17 July) and it won't recognise the cheat list when i try to load it via DQ9 even though in the changelog it mentions the cheats have been available since the 15th. Is it cause its the patched XENOM rom?

Yes it is because you're using the XENOM ROM. In order to get this ROM working download R4CCE. Load the UCRCHEAT.dat and find DQIX (U) in the long list & click on it. You will find an area for Game ID. Click on the "... "button and load the XENOM ROM so that R4CCE and extract the Game ID. Save the *.dat and copy it back over into SD:/__aio/cheats. Rebuild cache if necessary by pressing X on the cheat menu.misticknight said:got the latest USRCHEAT.DAT (17 July) and it won't recognise the cheat list when i try to load it via DQ9 even though in the changelog it mentions the cheats have been available since the 15th.
