Troubleshooting

Q: Checkpoint says "No available cheat codes for this title!" A: You'll need to add them manually. Consider this guide.

Q: My cheats don't work/crash! A: Consider not using them.

Q: My game isn't showing up! A: Make sure you have a save for the game. If you're sure you do hold B for a few seconds and the game should appear.

Q: How do I cheat on DS Games? A: If you're have a cartridge of the game, consider Nitrohax.

If you're using TwilightMenu++, download Cheats using the updater, then set TwilightMenu's skin to Acekard or R4. Go to the game you want to cheat on and press Y then press X. Enable the cheats you want and press X to save.

Don't have TwilightMenu++? Consider this.
