Okay, I mentioned this in my very first post, which promptly got buried, but I have a problem with cheats on my AK2.1, running AKAIO 1.5.1 The problem is, only SOME cheats work. I've gone through and done all the menu options I'm supposed to, and that every thread explains in details (such as the soft reset enabling, and all that other shinola), and I properly save the cheat options by pressing select after choosing the cheats with A, etc. etc.
But only about half the cheats work. I update the database regularly, but it doesn't help. Only SOME of the cheats work. And because they do, that tells me I must be doing something right, so it can't just be me.
But for example in, let's say, Super Mario 64, I have some codes work, like the unlocking codes, or the jumping mechanics tweaked (or even the codes to load the test levels). However, if I want to change how my characters look (whether a change in size, or to make them 2D, for example), nada. Another example: Mario Kart DS: If I want to unlock stuff, make the guys jump, or even play as specific characters/karts, there's no problem. If I want to do something like always having an item or start on the third lap, I get nothing.
Am I the only one with this problem? Because it sounds more like the Database doesn't work well than anything else.
Also, one other thing that I wonder if it effects this, due to things I've heard--I rename my game files on the PC before putting them on the card, simply because it's easier to tell what a game is if it's just its title and not filled with unimportant stuff like the rom # or the region code, or the guy who ripped it. I hope that this doesn't have a thing to do with that, but it has occurred to me recently.
Any help I can get is appreciated.
