http://nds-roms.com/?act=roms You can find a lot of ROMs for DS here, just find the game(s) you're looking for and download them, then move the .nds file from your computer to the microSD, load it up on the R4, and you're set.
ok i followed the directions 100% to make action replay work with my m3 simply. and it works great. except for one game i own. and it wont show any cheats for the game ya know (cheats Y) ok the game im decribing is... 0176 tony hawks american sk8land (e) (independent).nds is ther another version i should use instead of this one? please help thank you...
stryker, try the (u) version, american version Dust, reninstall the new firmware, and dont delete anything. Then copy the usrcheat.dat into the folder. Also you have a chinese one, and this is tested on an english version. balmung, id say get the codes off the code manager instead of manually inputting them.
DVDBack, Thanks for all your help. However, I realized my problem just a few minutes ago when I downloaded a .dat file just containing just pokemon codes, and found that the file I had in the system folder was named "urscheat.dat" instead of "usrcheat.dat". Boy, was my face red. Everything works great now, and so I'd like to thank you for responding so quickly to my question and making your guide so easy to use. Thanks again.
Hey, well I did everything, and the Usrcheat is in the "system folder". It still doesn't work, do I have to do anything when the game loads up?
If I understood everything right, all you need to do is make sure that both the CHEAT.dat and usrcheat.dat files are in the system folder, that you have the 1.08 firmware for your R4 (not sure what firmware is needed for the M3 simply though), and that either the CHEAT.dat or usrcheat.dat file has cheats for the game(s) you're playing. Other than that, I can't think of what would be missing. Hope that helps.
I tried your tutorial, but the Action Replay Code Manager still refuse to connect to codejunkies.com, though i did exception for it in my firewall. Do you have an idea what's wrong? Or maybe do you know other places to get subscription?
Balmung, You are welcome oakcapy, You dont need one... Skiant, That is something i cant help you with, as i dont know what to do in that situation besides maybe trying at a friends house. sorry.
hey first of all I would like to thank you for putting this method up. however I stumbled on to problem during the procedure, when you talk about the whole action replay code manager thing( you know the add codes to the .xml) the program says 'loading failed', so I can't get them codes in to the .xml file. now do you know a method to put the codes in manually? I actually have the codes. Again thanks because for the rest it works great( there's an .xml sample files with alot of codes for mariokart^^)
How exactly do you import xml file? Mozilla firefox, internet explorer or crazy browser dont have import xml im really confused. and where exactly do you import to and the save file? Can you be more specific? It's where im gettin stuck with cuz all i did was, save file as usrcheat.dat but did not import because there's no import xml or whatevevr =S Help would be great thanks!
Okay, Im getting there, I opened the cheat code editor, clicked import the usrcheat.dat and then save as usrcheat.dat again i think and then put it in system folder. still doesnt work =S what am i doing wrong?
Now it gets easy :-D Update you MicroSD card with the new firmware Install the Code Manager. 1. Under Subscriptions right click Codejunkies US Games and select copy if you want all or just do this for games you want. 2. Under My Codelists right click and select paste. 3. Let it import the games into your codelist. 4. Once it has completed go this folder: C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay Code Manager\local_codelists Find the XML, it should say something along the lines of customcodelist.xml Open the Code Editor and go to file and press Import XML file.
