Yeah, you just replace the old one. The cheat files are still in the same place as they used to be on gbatemp: http://cheats.gbatemp.net/

You need a program called R4cce. Just google it and it's really easy to use.

I'm not sure. I don't think you need to tick it. But if it doesn't work try ticking it.

You save it as the same name, because it won't work if you change the name. And put it on your MicroSD where your old one is (make sure you delete the old one).

Yes, delete the one that's already on your card. Then put your new one in the same place.

Fredbox · #8You save it as the same name
I meant the same name as it had before you put the cheat in. I meant call it cheat.dat
P.S. Try using some capitol letters in your posts, it makes it a lot easier to read.

When i put the new codes in and deleted the old Cheat.DAT and saved the Codes in the systems folder i get a black loading screen that goes on for ever when i put the card back into my dsDo i need to call the cheats usrcheat.dat i heard u need to do that if u add your own codes manuallyor would it be because i called it CHEAT.DAT (all in caps is this a problem)

Use usrcheat.dat, delete any other cheat.dat or usrcheat.dat file existing in your _system_ folder. For issues on cheats not appearing, read the Common Issues https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=1462.0
