Do Action replay codes work on patched games

I want to beat games fast, but mostly all my games are patche for example I tried ar codes for bowsers inside story but it didn't work I just want to know if AR codes work on patched games

Yes, some may not work as well though. If you're enabling cheats from a database, then a patched ROM would have it's GameID changed. Use R4CCE by Yasu (google it) to load the patched ROM to replace the original GameID with the patched GameID.
