I have to say that the new implented Cheat System is more than just a bit buggy.

First: The most supplied cheats (who are coming with the 2.60 Software)
are NOT working correctly.

Some may think it has something to do with the Region of the Game, but no... if you the converting software offers you a cheat file SCC, it checks if the Region is right. I tried it with mario Kart (U) and (E), it offers me cheats for (U), but if i try (E) the field stay blank.

In my case: All cheats for Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime Pinball are NOT working. For Nanostray, only 1-2 codes are correct. .. and I think the codes for both Castlevania Games are also useless.

Anyway... i also tried to create SCC's for Mario Kart DS and Metroid PP after i noticed that the supplied codes are not working.

I took them from the Codejunkies Site and followed all the steps correctly.

-Create TXT FIle...

-Wrote it in that way...

saved it... turned it into CHT, tuned it into SCC, renamed the files so they are matching the patched game files on my SC, and moved it there...overwrited the old codes... nope...

At game start up, the menu appears, i selected my codes, turned them on, but they also did NOT work in anyway.

Has anyone similar Problems  :?:

Have you presed the HOTKEY COMBO whilst playing the game (L+R+Left+START)?

OUCH... :shock:

Well... that explains a lot... you have to turn the cheats ON via HOTKEY???  :?:

I thought it is enought to turn the text generally GREEN and then turn the cheats you want to have "ON"... i didn't knew that after all that you also must use the HOTKEY Combination to activate them... i thought this is only an option for those who want to turn them OFF until playing...

THHHHHAAANKS A LOT!!!!  

But anyway... if i start Mario Kart DS with the Shyguy code, and using the HOTKEYS, the game freezes... and the Metroid PP Cheats are still not working... maybe because these are my selfmade codes... i'll try the implented ones...

:roll:

'Bishonen'  you don't have to hot key them if there on... and they work fine... somethings up on your setup

try formatting your card and reinstalling 1.81 firmware

btw.. try changing..

but if the supllied ones are not even working for you, something major is up with your SC

Well... i'am using an SC Rumble Mini SD... updated the firmware from 1.6x to 1.7, then to 1.8 and now to 1.81... no error occured... the card is new (5 days old) my second SC...

I just formatted the Mini SD and placed 2 games on it, Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime Pinball.

Using Software 2.60 to patch them...

Mario Kart DS - Restart: Y / Trim: NO / Cheat: ON (the supplied cheats)
MPP - Restart: Y / Trim: NO / Rumble: ON (Button X) /Cheat: =ON (the supplied cheats)

Metroid PP has been also patched with it's own Rumble Patch, after converting... ( :?:  maybe the Problem  :?: )

All Mario Kart DS cheats are now working... incl. Shyguy

All Metroid PP cheats aren't working... nope, turned them on at the start, used the HOTKEYS... nothing...

Any idea?

dont add ips patches after converting!

they must be applied PRIOR or BEFORE patching

[meangreenie]

again metroid pp cheats worked fine for me, try what 'kkan' said

[Bishonen]

Just updatet the cheat database with the new Slot2 Update and patched MPP again (without the additional IPS patch), now all MPP cheats are working - Don't know if because i updatet the Database or because i didn't apply the IPS Patch...

[Enixcell]

another problem i had was that i had cheats for the wrong version. Remember, some games have two versions and make sure you have the correct cheats for that version!  :lol:

[Vixtro]

It's best to always compile your own cheats for your games so you know it's the right version and you get the codes you want. I have tried some of the codes from the SC installation but they are complete and utter bollock codes most of the time.

Hi guys,

I have just tried some Mario Kart DS codes from the porkchop's subscription, and I think some aren't working correctly with supercard. For example the moonjump code has a different effect on supercard than with nitrohax, an AR clone. With the latter the code does the expected and the kart flies to the sky; but with supercard when you keep the button pressed, it looks like it does nothing for a while, then suddenly the kart elevates to a certain point for a split second and comes back to track.

Also I couldn't get the shy guy code on wifi to work. Other codes like the always get item work perfectly. Maybe a bug in the cheat engine?

Cheers,
Juliobbv

Well Porkchop doesn't know anything about it.  A while back I had a problem with moonjump with nitro hax (when jumping the camera looked up) and he just didn't know  So this cheat engine is still kinda fresh.  Lets give it some time for the bugs to be worked out

[juliobbv]

Mmm, I hope that they notice this bug, because it's very difficult to contact them in english. Maybe someone who knows chinese can post this problem in the official forum? It would be excelent to have a flawless cheat engine.

There are like multiple types of moonjump and a couple of jump/fly cheats , they all differ slighly... are you sure you are not getting 'jump/fly' mixed up with 'moon jump' ?  because from your discription it sounds like you have the jump/fly cheat on = 'keep tapping b to gain height'

all the porkchop codes I have tried seemed to be working fine for me.. are you sure you put them into the correct format of

@ label
12345678 12345678
12345678 12345678
ect          

and not..

@label
12345678 12345678 12345678 12345678 ect

before using the ar2cht converter ?


not that i'm sure it would make any difference


edit... or maybe another activated code is interfering with it, this happens a lot with AR-codes


edit2..  here are 3 types of moonjump (there are even more) that are working fine for me in a .scc i made quickly.. tested on 0168 rom US version..... http://www.evilshare.com/64bb6aa0-6630-102a-847b-00a0c993e9d6

i've labeled them 'MoonJ 1' 2 and 3  .. 1 is the smallest moon jump and 3 being the largest jump (way too large but lol) ... and of course don't have them all on at the same time.. press 'b' to jump when activated

[meangreenie]

 nobody likes me moon jumps
