Need help with cheats!

Specifically for Pokemon Platinum, I'd like to be able to cheat to get the mythics etc, but I cannot seem to figure it out. Not much to find online, did see some posts made by rafaelvcaetano himself but none of it worked, yet.

So, here is the most straightforward explanation. First, you need to download a cheat database. The most common one can be found here: https://mega.nz/folder/UNwxET6K#s__L5mln48N5gUJsWwsMZQ/folder/NEAFwLgJ
In that link, download the "cheats.xml" file. Then, in melonDS, go to Settings > Cheats, click "Import cheats" and select the downloaded file. When it's finished, make sure the "Enable cheats" options is enabled. After that, you are good to go. While playing a game, if you go to the pause menu, you will find the "Cheats" option, in which you can toggle cheats as you want.

My app just crashes and exits when I try to import the XML. Using S23 Ultra

You must have Android 14 and the current release of melonDS has an issue when importing cheats on that version. If you don't want to wait for the new release, you can use the nightly releases which already have this issue fixed. You can find them here: https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/releases/tag/nightly-release

How about we cheat on DSiware? Or there's no cheat for melonDS DSiware ? I already import the xml. Thank you 🙏.
