Hacking Whats wrong with the cheats?

[sylux92]

Try lowercasing the USRCHEAT.DAT. Sometimes that makes a difference.

Just did and...still....nothing

Okay, look, Mr. Guy......

You've smarted off to everyone in here who has tried to help you by saying "Obviously I've done that, I'm not stupid." Let me clue you in to something: when you are asking for someone's help because you have failed to accomplish some task, you are surrendering yourself to failure and should adopt at least a small measure of humility in response to that.

The error you're experiencing could be a result of any of the things these people have suggested. So far you haven't responded even once with "Okay, I just tried that again to be sure, and it still didn't work." or "When I tried that yesterday, here's exactly what happened." You've only responded with "I'm smarter than you, so don't suggest things that are so stupid."

Sounds like you just wanted to come here and have someone tell you that your R4 is broken, since that seems to be the only explanation you will accept. So, here goes.

Your R4 has obviously been rendered completely useless by a harmless software update that everyone calls a firmware update just because that's what people are used to calling it from when flashcards actually had an independent firmware. The term is an anachronism when talking about the R4, but I digress. It is clear that user error is not responsible for your cart's inability to function properly, even though it might seem that way considering that almost every other user has been able to use these functions without any difficulty whatsoever. You should use this as an excuse to rush out and buy a new flashcart, preferably the most popular one or the newest one.

P.S. The word you were looking for was "respective" not "respectable"

lol...

1. Try another file!! CHECK
2. Format Disc!! CHECK
3. Check everything Stupid that people think might be wrong with it!! CHECK
4. Not Admitting Failure!! CHECK

Sorry, but Whatever is wrong with your flashcart, we wouldnt have a clue because we have virtually said every possible option to it, and You have come back and said, "Im not that Stupid".. "Why would I post this help if I hadn't tried this"

Maybe next time, put up a list of everything you have done and maybe we can figure it out from then..

I already made sure that my _DS_MENU.SYS was erased.

I'm havening the same problem on my other Micro SD also.

Do you have 'cheat enable' AND 'game enable' checked?

YES.

OK, let's get this all straightened out for you.

When you select various games, do you see the box that says, "CHEAT (Y)" in the bottom of your touchscreen? (I'll assume the answer is yes)

Now, pick ANY game with cheats, hit "Y" and look at the menu in the bottom screen. There are 6 big boxes and one little check box for Real-time on/off enable(B)...make sure that real-time crap is UNchecked (no green square in the box next to it). Now, the two big boxes you need to concern yourself with are the middle two. BOTH of those need to have the checkbox filled with a green block, if either one isn't checked the cheats will be greyed out. When they both have the green box filled-in, they will say Game DISABLE and Cheat DISABLE and the cheats will be selectable. That is the proper way to have it so the cheats will be able to be selected and will not be greyed-out. When they are DISABLED, they will say, Game ENABLE and Cheat ENABLE.

My guess is that you have them saying ENABLE. They need to say DISABLE to actually be enabled. It's kinda confusing, I know, but that's the way it is.

I sincerely hope that helps you.

Ha Thanks for your help elenar you seem to have summed it up. It seems that you haven't read any posts past sylux92s' last post on page 1. Read every post very carefully, and I want you to name all of my faults. When I posted saying that I was "not stupid" simply meant that I was no noob to the R4/gbatemps' forums, and that they should not treat me as one by posting methods that I have already tried like 5 fucking times. (shows how much you know) Even if they were non helpful methods that where posted I graciously thank anyone that helped me and still will try to do anything to fix my R4's problem. I have had this problem for a week now and have tried everything at least 10 times and still no avail. So thinking that this site could help me was the last resort if I could not do it myself.

You have quoted me to have said "Obviously I've done that, I'm not stupid." and "I'm smarter than you, so don't suggest things that are so stupid." please show me where I posted this. I would love to see where I posted this, but sadly you cant. Why. Because you see me as a threat and would like nothing more than to shut me up by putting words into my mouth, and to make a big post making you think that it would be the end of me. You've blown this way out of proportion and I just want a answer not a opinion that does exactly what you say I'm doing, otherwise known as a hypocrite.

This is the Internet, grow up. If there's someone thats making you mad thats just tough. Live with it, sleep with it, and grow up.

Even if lot of people think that I'm a smartmouth they will have to get over it. Thats my personality, that cant be changed by a smartmouth post such as yours. I'm really sorry to those of who thought of me as a jerk.

Back on topic. I erased everything on my Micro SD and would love for some more suggestions to help me out.

 

[CurleyAU]

omfg, MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU DO TO SET IT UP AGAIN.. and then we can try to help.. Set it up the way you think.. And get a new cheat.dat file.. Just try the cheat.dat..
