Hacking Etrian Odyssey Cheat Code Help

[ArashdeepSandher]

Hi guys. So I just recently played the demo for Etrian Odyssey IV and loved it so I downloaded the roms for the first 3 and put them onto my DSTwo. I loaded up the first one and when I tried using the L+R+Select function, it didn't work. I tried the same with the other 2 and they didn't work either. I then tried it on all my other roms and it worked perfectly fine. I'm just wondering why it's not working for those 3 games. Can anybody help?

Make sure the three aren't running in "clean mode".

How do I do that?

Press X when highlighting a game to go to it's settings. Make sure the mode is on "patch", not "clean".

I checked and it's on "patch" mode. It still won't work

What about L+R+Start?

 

[ArashdeepSandher]

Nothing. It's just those 3 roms

Nothings working :'(

Dunno' what's up then.

I can still use cheat codes but I have to turn them on before I start the game and I can't turn them off during the game

Okay, played around with my DSTwo some more today and remembered a quirk.

If the game turns off the buttons, then they won't work for the shortcut. For example Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing doesn't use the L/R buttons on the title screen, so I needed to start a race (where the buttons are used) before they'd respond (and after returning to the main menu they continue to respond). So you can change the shortcut keys in the DSTwo's main menu to get around this.

Press the start menu button thing when at your game list, the system settings are in there.
