Here is a very quick guide I found on how to use Action replay codes on your R4 card.
I only give instructions for the R4 but this works on the M3 simply as well, you just need to get the newest firmware, 1.04.

This is verified by myself, and it works great :)

Ok first, you need the latest R4 firmware, v 1.18 (as of writing):
http://www.r4ds.com/download-en.htm

Next you want the Code Manager from Datel:
US version:
http://us.codejunkies.com/nds_actionreplay/SetupUS1_05.exe
Euro version:
http://us.codejunkies.com/nds_actionreplay/SetupEU1_05.exe

Finally you want the R4 Cheat code editor:
http://www.r4ds.com/download-en.htm
or if the site is down, then get it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/32954884/Cheat_code_editor.rar

Now it gets easy :-D
Update you MicroSD card with the new firmware
Install the Code Manager.
1. Under Subscriptions right click Codejunkies US Games and select copy if you want all or just do this for games you want.
2. Under My Codelists right click and select paste.
3. Let it import the games into your codelist.
4. Once it has completed go this folder:
C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay Code Manager\local_codelists

Find the XML, it should say something along the lines of customcodelist.xml

Open the Code Editor and go to file and press Import XML file.

Import the one you just made and then go to file and Save As cheat database. Save it as usrcheat.dat.

Now open the card again and navigate to the system folder. Copy the new usrcheat.dat file to that folder and you are done :)

If you have any question, post here and I will help you ;)

I have a m3 ds simply and cannot get this to work. Its 1.04fw and I put the cheats as cheat.dat in my "_system_" folder. Still nothing happens when I press Y on any game. Can someone help me out?

---

did you rename it usrcheat.dat like the guide said? ;)

---

Yeah I tried that too. Still nothing.

Wow this thread has been going on for a while...

Well I'm having a problem, and I've spent about a week scanning through google...

I'm using the m3 Simply (not a fake), using the latest version I can find (v1.14) and cheat codes won't appear for some unknown reason. I couldn't find many people with the same problem, and the few I did find did not come with a solution (unfortunately).

I've checked over the games many times, I've made sure that the codes are for the correct game, I've tried different download links of the same rom (different sites), but for some reason the (Y) Cheats button will only appear for a few of my games. For example, the cheat button will work perfectly fine for Izuna, however it won't appear for Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon.

If anybody has a solution, this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
