AK2 AR Codes Help

[Greencat]

I have the AR Codes .dat and .xml from cheats.gbatemp.com, but how can I add more codes to it? I am running a Mac and I haven't found an AR Code Editor for Mac. Otherwise, can someone make a .xml from them only including Pokémon Games (all languages) and add the rebattle codes to HGSS (or at least SS) please?

Please and thank yous! ;p

I might be able to send you mine later on, as in much later after all my school crap is done.

(One question, is PP forum PG-13, or whatever goes?)

It's fine. I think the new GBATemp one has the re-battle codes, but when I try to have it rebuild the codes it ends up freezing half way. :\ Does the ROM have to be clean and I run it on that first and then it will work on the patched one?

You could try mine, but no gaurentees it has the codes you're looking for.

yes, the ROMs has-to be clean, to use the AR codes. reason why, is that somehow all of the patches on the ROMs disable the cheating. it's what that says on the GBATemp message board itself on the HG/SS post.

check it out for yourself.

Oh, thank you Soldjermon. I would assume after, it would be tricked into allowing cheating again as it did before?

[Soldjermon]

that, I'm not skilled enough to dig into the ROM itself and figure out of how to re-enable the cheating on the patched games.

also, I don't know for sure it can be tricked of using cheats on patched games.

if I heard about that, I would have known about it long ago and told you all. >3>

the only two flash carts that can bypass the anti-piracy without patching, is the CycloDS and the M3i Zero with latest firmware updates from what I know of. just letting you all know.

The reason that cheats stop working in a patched game is cause the Game ID changes when someone applies the patch, don't remember the exact details right now but basically the Game ID acts like an integrity check so any codes that don't use the right ID stop working

Most PC based code editors have a 'get game ID from ROM' so does that not work? find that and replace the code and maybe they will work

[Greencat]

Still doesn't seem to work--even on clean ROMs. Any ideas?

I know you can play DPPt games if you disable DMA protection on an Acekard by holding X while you boot the game, but I don't know about HG/SS since I don't have them. Besides, manually entering in game IDs isn't required if you have any of the flashcarts already mentioned in this thread. The romdumps I have, I did myself, so they are clean as could be.

Out of boredom I decided to make a little guide for you guys wanting to use cheats with a patched game, I tried to simplify it as much as I could but it's 5am ...so yeah yay lack of sleep. Anyways here you go, http://www.liquiddeath.com/?p=9

Does that means that by choosing CycloDS, I will be able to play it perfectly fine?

Will I really be able to play it without any problem?

Yay!

I do realise its been over a month since you posted this but to re-enable cheats after patches you must find the new game id thats what i had to do after patching and stuff the game id changes for some wierd reason so just use an emulator or something that checks the game id code so you can add it to the code list if u still have problems that is lol been over a month so who knows if u got it working by now
