Gaming Not sure if this goes here ARM7/cheat problem

[Blue Zoidberg]

Hi everyone I'm a long time lurker that's finally got around to making an account, and with every new account comes the obligatory n00b question (and possibly mislocation of the thread).

I'm using an old M3 Simply flashcart thus had to use the ARM7 patch to get Carnival Games working. However, when i applied the patch, the cheat option was no longer available (I use it for the backlight codes).
Is this normal? Do I need to muck around with the cheat.dat?

Apologies if this has been answered before, or this is in the wrong place,

the game's ID changing as you apply arm7 patch on it. so you need new, changed ID.

How its all done
The program used to maintain the database is R4CCE. This program was created by Yasu Software and is what makes it possible to maintain this database for all of you. As Rayder said in the past, this database wouldn't be possible in its current form if it wasn't for Yasu and for SkH for bringing it to his attention. These two talented people deserve our thanks.

Here is a great tutorial on how to use the R4CCE by Curley. I suggest you all should learn how to use R4CCE if yyou ever want to modify the cheat dat and add your own cheats to it.

Thank you so much! You're wonderful!
I figured the patch screwed with the game code but didn't know how to fix the game id.
Also, thanks for the link to the tutorial, it's a big help too.
