Hacking My R4 won't find Spirit Tracks cheats

[SaiyanKirby]

Before anyone asks:
-I'm using the Wood R4 1.20 firmware
-I'm using a legit R4
-I'm using the patched version of the ROM (US)

Is it detected for the unpatched version?

Why are you using a patched version anyways?

try moving the game to the top of your cheat db.

It should, the game code is the same. The last version of the cheat file I had on here worked with it, but it didn't have many cheats for the game.
Spirit Tracks has antipiracy stuffs in it. When you first get your train, if the game detects you're playing it on a flashcart then it disables the train controls and you die.

With a cheat editor? Could you recommend one, because the one my brother found keeps crashing.

Only if you're using Fred Flintstone's firmware. The modern and up to date Wood R4 firmware will run the clean ROM with no problems.

Now that you mention it, I got it when I was still using an old version of YSMenu. Haha. I'll go try to find the regular ROM then.

EDIT: Hmm... My usual place only has the patched version.
EDIT2: My mistake, it's clean.

The entire point of firmware updates for flash cards is to bypass AP, so yeah that AP was bypassed ages ago.

 

[SaiyanKirby]

Yeah, thanks for letting me know. I'll edit this post to let you know if I got it working.

EDIT: Yep, that worked. Thanks!

Does the entire Game ID of both the ROM and the cheat database match or is it just the first four letters? If they don't match exactly try altering the cheat database to match the ROM.

I'll keep that in mind if I have this problem again, but replacing the ROM seemed to fix it.

also, use r4cce to maintain your cheat database.
