Cheats not working when enabled

[WiiPlusFreak]

So I was testing out some AR and Gecko codes on Gamecube and Wii games, but whenever I do they either:


1: Do not work

2: Corrupt my game

3: Decrease speed performance


I messed around with my settings but they still didn't work.
Is it the codes or would it be my settings I need to configure?
(And yes, the cheat system is enabled.)

Well are you using the latest dolphin version. Also what cheat and games. It is possible that it is the code or combination of code that is causing problems since action replay and other similar devices work by modifying game code. it is also possible the dolphin doesn't react the same that the gamecube/wii would have with though codes
