legend of zelda spirit tracks help?

i downloaded the 12_08_09_USRCHEAT.DAT.zip on the gbatemp website but when i get to the Ys menu the cheat file wont show up under the game title ?
can u help?

disable ysmenu

sorry for the stupid question but how do u do that:P

Extract it, have the .dat in the TTMenu folder if you haven't.

is it possible to use action replay cheats for a patched version of this game??
also, this is completely irrelevant, but can i rip gc games using a standard dvd drive?? I have a few game that you guys can add to your collection.

You have to change the Game ID of the database entry to the Game ID of the patched game.
