    So after I chose CHEAT, ENABLE GAME (it won't let me do SELECT ALL, the codes are not highlighted on the top screen is this normal?) and SAVE and EXIT. I go to the directory of games and START the game. However, at any point during the game I don't see any indication on what to press thats why I wasn't sure if its working.

    I did download the English.rar kernel seems like the cheat.dat that came with the English.rar is in Chinese characters when you open the file but maybe it doesn't matter bec the CHEAT Button does show. I emailed r4 to confirm because they have 2 download buttons but only one works (with the supposedly English.rar) haven't heard back yet. I also read on another thread that the new version kernel doesn't work well with some games such as Pokemon Pearl. I downloaded v1.18 and created the usrcheat.dat with Pearl but the Cheat button doesn't pop up like the rest. Thanks for any tips (no need to say DUH thats why its called a help forum!).

    Hello Every1
    I Tried everything but rushed .. My DS keep saying ''The Hardware is not compatible'' when i chanhe CHEATS.dat with the cheat data i did (renaming as CHEATS, data still .dat )

    I Downloaded R4 firmware, v 1.11
    Code Manager from Datel (opened and find cheat codes but Didnt managed to DS, always writing waiting for NDS)

    and R4 Cheat code editor (i created my codes and saved as usercodes.dat renamed as CHEAT later)

    Im trying to cheat in Pokemon Pearl (Game ID APAE 31d0afde )

    Now, Where did i made a mistake?

    I got stuck with your guide dude. I will post the part I got stuck on.....

    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.

    Import the one you just made and then go to file and Save As cheat database. Save it as usrcheat.dat.

    Now open the card again and navigate to the system folder. Copy the new usrcheat.dat file to that folder and you are done :)

    If you have any question, post here and I will help you ;)


    Okay so I found the file and imside it had 2 XML documents. ONe was all those codes I just got, and the other just said default codelists. I opened the cheat code editor and went to 'file' but nothing said import xml file.

    In my own personal opinion, GBAtemp is a most reliable download source. Try finding your English download there.

    As for the cheats file, it has nothing on it that can use, right? Do an update with the cheat editor and overwrite that.

    As for everyone trying to be helpful, let us all keep trying (and improving).

    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I donwloaded everyintg and then imported all the codes(although I didnt really want all of them just Dragon Quest MOnsters lol)

    Anyway I get to the part where you need to import xml file and I'm not sure what to do. The "file" options on the cheat code editor and the folder you poated dont have anything that say "import xml file". And there are 2 xml files in that folder, one that says codejunkies us, and the other says default codelists.

    There is an option on tools which says import/export but I dont know which to use and where to copy it to

    Dude I'm going crazy with this. I follwed the guide up to this part....

    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.

    Import the one you just made and then go to file and Save As cheat database. Save it as usrcheat.dat.

    Now open the card again and navigate to the system folder. Copy the new usrcheat.dat file to that folder and you are done :)


    From here on I have been experiencing problems. Okay so I go to that folder and there are 2 documents (codejunkies EU games) (default_codelists)

    I then opened up the code editor and went to "file" but nowhere does it say import XML file. The only thing close to that is import/export on "options", and going to that leads to equally confusing options.

    So I tried something....dragged the default codelists XML file into the cheat code editor and then saved it as usrcheat.dat. It saved to the desktop for some reason. I then opened my card up and dragged the usrcheat.dat into the system folder. Now in that system folder I already had a cheat file and a cheat code editor.

    Anyhow that didnt work so I am now dragging the usrcheat.dat into the cheat code editor file.

    I need some guidance guys

    its still saying "waiting for ds" on the left hand side of the cheat code manager. I thought you didnt need to buy an action replay for this?

    Download this screenshot video I made and watch it. Ignore the blue-base software I used to record the video.

    After saving the file, just follow the rest of the directions.

    You can ignore the DS side - it can permanently stay waiting without any side effects. All you need is the subscription and my codelists side because that's where you get your codelists from.

    thanks I'll download it tomorrow. But 1 thing I just went to the site and watched the video and it was too small to see anything. maybe when I donwload it tomorrow I will be able to see it larger?

    It also looked like your operating system was different. I hope I can find what to do from the import XML file part

    hey man so i watched your video and realised I hadnt opened the exe file. I was just looking in file on the cheat code editor winrar file.

    Anyway I follwoed the instructions and nothing shows up on the DQM game. I am presuming I am hoping for the Y button to appear likeo n all the other games?

    I got so pissed off I deleted everything that was on my card that said cheat or cheat code editor and started again but still no luck.

    I have put the usrcheat.dat file in the system folder

    Which version of the game are you using? If you're using the EU version, then use the corresponding codes.

    Also, if you're using an M3, dragging the DAT file over won't work because M3 use the XML file.
