    you will need

    ARCM(Action replay code manager)
    http://action-replay-code-manager.software.informer.com/

    R4CCE( R4 cheat code editor)
    http://www.r4ds.cn/download/Cheat_code_editor.html
    (scroll all the way down to the bottom for download link)

    and this link
    http://cheats.gbatemp.net/files/Action_Replay.xml

    This should work with other flashcarts that use usrcheat.dat files

    1.Download all the things needed unless you already have them( R4CCE comes with the R4 CD so if you have the R4 CD you don't need this and ARCM comes with the action replay CD so if you have the action replay CD you don't need this)
    2.Ignore the third link for now
    3.Open ARCM and make a new codelist(under codelist press the little asterisk or star whatever you want to call it)
    4.Now copy the third link then press add subscription(the little plus sign with the piece of paper)
    5.Paste the link into the box( if it wont let you paste for some reason just write it manually)
    6.Under subscriptions look at the tabs. Make sure it says GBAtemp cheatcode database (or something similar)
    7. Make the cheats appear by pressing the little plus sign next to GBAtemp cheatcode database (or whatever) if its loaded.
    8. Wait for the list of games to come up
    9. Drag the games you want into your codelist or just do it the fast way and drag the whole cheat database into your codelist
    10. Now when you have added all the games you need/want open R4CCE
    11. Press open(or maybe its under file) on the toolbar then import .xml file
    12. Go to (C:) then program files then datel then local codelists then look for the codelist you just made(if its your only codelist then it should be right there)
    13. Import the .xml file
    14. It should show up in R4CCE and all the games you added should be right there
    15. now press file( or it could be under something else) then press save cheat database( or something like that) and save it to you system folder
    NOTE: If you already have a usrcheat.dat file in your system file it will be replaced
    When you turn on your R4 under the games you added it should say (Y) cheat. Press Y and it should come up with cheats for that game.
    NOTE: If you added a game to your database and it still doesn't show up on your R4 please refer to my other tutorial ( called I found the solution to 2 very annoying DS problems)

    Thank you and ENJOY!
