Hacking Having Cheat problems

[Couugghhing]

I downloaded the latest cheat file (Acekard 2 Official v4.17 *Update File*) and unzipped it.

I opened my SD, and replaced AK2menu.nds in the root, as well as put the "cheat.xml and cheat.dat" file in the "ak2/cheats" folder.

I turned on my DS after putting the SD card back into AK2 and AK2 into the DS. I went to "DQ5", pressed start and went to cheats. It said, "No Cheats in cheat database" followed by a window.

In that window, I pressed Y to change the cheat file to ".dat" and then pressed rebuild, but I get an error message saying it couldn't find any cheats. I did the same thing except I changed the cheat file to ".xml", and it said the same thing: it couldn't find any cheats.

Any help would be awesome. I'm really new at this stuff.

It has to be a clean ROM.

 

[Couugghhing]

How do I know if I have a clean ROM, and how do I get a clean ROM?

 

[Da-Bomb1]

Well, can't really say that here. Just search for one on a torrent site...unless it says otherwise, it should be clean.

 

[Couugghhing]

If I replace my ROM, will my .sav file be compatible with the new ROM?

I'll replace it in an hour. I hope this fixes it

 

[Da-Bomb1]

The sav file must have the exact same name as the ROM.

Grab R4cce and go change your game id for dq5 cheats.

Wait that's not the latest cheats is it? http://cheats.gbatemp.net/

database from cheats.gbatemp.net supports only clean rom!
so how find out yourself?

use r4cce - add game - in between the game id and DUPE you will see a . . .
click the . . .
after that click DUPE
if there is no DUPE means your rom's ID is different and 99% of the time would be a patched rom
if there is a DUPE that means your rom'S ID is the same as our database
