    When I got the Code manager thing I copied the Codejunkies US game folder over to my codelist, and when I went to the XML codelist it didn't say custom list it said the codejunkies.XML so I went to that because I thought it was the right one and then you said to Import the it. Here's where I got confused. It says Import/Export and there are 4 options import favorites and import cookies and export favorites and export favorites. I got confused and had no idea what to press. Could you help me?

    Is there a way to use Codebreaker codes instead of Action Replay?

    The codes may not be found on the NET. It is quite easy to update the codes yourself and export them to *dat files. I never found the codes on the the net, but found the instructions and the need tools. Pretty easy to locate the needed utilities.

    Let me just say that it is easier to update the codes yourself than to find the codes on the net.

    Once you have created the codes simply export them into CHEAT.DAT and/or USRCHEAT.DAT files and put them into the _System_ directory. I normally use CHEAT.DAT for North America codes, and USRCHEAT.DAT for Europe codes.

    Are you following the instructions as outline at this link?

    http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/505999

    there is a copy button at the top of the right hand window, and you can also right click on the USA Japan, ir European groupe to copy the entire code list to the bottom right hand window.

    If you follow the instructions at the above link you should have no problem.

    I'm not sure of the error that you speak of. If after following the guide the copy does not work I would uninstall and reinstall or use a different computer.

    Haven't looked into converting the *.dat file but you should be able to do it with MS ACCESS. I would do a web search amd hope the answer is out there.

    BTW The Codejunkies native files are in XML format. Once cnverted they are then saved into the *.DAT format.

    There seems to be some type of anomalie in the creation of the *.dat files. On 1/12/08 I downloaded the US and Europe XML cheats and coverted them to *.dat files. On 1/14/08 I attempted to open the *.dat file with the R4 Cheat editor and the application locked up. I attempted to open the the cheats four times and each time the app locked up. This was only on the US cheats the european cheats opened just fine after the conversion.

    In addition I noticed that there is quite a change in file sizes for both the US and European XML/DAT files. For example the file that was bad was a large 3,486 KB in size. larger than any other US file downloaded previously or since.

    The European file that I downloaded on 1/15/08 was only 903KB in sized compared to a 2,680KB file that was downloaded on 1/13/08 I re-downloaded and converted the 1/15 file again and got the same 903KB file size. Every European file prior to 1/15 was larger then the 1/15 file.

    I am not sure what the anomaly is and if it resides on the Code Junkies website or the conversion of the R4 code editor.

    Questions is has anyone experienced this issue?

    Filesizes are as follow:

    US file date and sizes:

    112907(2,549)KB, 122207(1,680KB), 010408(2,572KB), 011308 - bad file(3,464KB), 011508(1,689KB)

    European file date and sizes:

    112907(1,772)KB, 122207(2,567KB), 010408(1,791KB), 011308(2,680KB), 011508(903KB)

    Okay,I have A LOT of questions

    1. What do you mean by "update MicroSD card with the new firmware "?I'm using winRAR and I don't understand how to.
    2. When I copy the codejunkies US games to my custom code list,I check it and it says: "load failed"
    3.When I go to C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay Code Manager\local_codelists ,I can't seem to find customcodelist.xml
    4.I don't understand what you mean by: open the card again and navigate to the system folder. Copy the new usrcheat.dat file to that folder and you are done :)
    Sorry for making it so long.I just want to get cheats on my R4

    1. Download the .RAR file from the first page of this thread and extract it to a new folder. If you open your MicroSD and find no files inside at all, copy all files INSIDE the new folder (and NOT the new folder itself) into your MicroSD card. That will update the firmware.

    For questions 2 and 3...

    2. Technical issue, please get support from Codejunkies.

    3. I'm too lazy to explain this, especially since I'm going to upload the new updated files that I've just done.

    For question 4...

    Here are the updated .DAT and .XML files for all US/EU codes as of 20 January 2008.

    a) AR NDS Codes - DAT (for people who just want a quick update)

    b) AR NDS Codes - XML (for people who would rather customize)

    4. Once 1 is done, there should now be a "_system_"folder in your SD card. Open that and you should see a usrcheat.dat file. If you just want a quick update, just download the a) link and extract the files from there. Overwrite the usrcheat.dat file from your MicroSD file with the new extracted .dat files.

    I personally use the Ultimate Zip application myself because I'm too lazy to use two different clients just for zipping. Happy downloading! And tell me if the files don't work.
