So I did some sleuthing around the forums and could not find an answer to my question so I will ask here and hopefully someone can enlighten me. I am confused as to how the Cheat Manager is supposed to work. Ok no, I know exactly how it is SUPPOSED to work but I don't understand HOW to get it to work or WHY it isn't working. When I am looking at the AR Codes section I see a heck of a lot of white, empty space and no way to add anything to it. Huh Am I supposed to download some master list or something that would get loaded with the program when it starts? Am I supposed to add each code individually by hand for each individual game? If so, how?

When I am looking at the Gecko Codes tab again I am confronted with a lot of white, empty space with now way of filling it except for a button that says "Download Codes (WiiRD Database)" which doesn't do anything when I click on it. Confused I searched around the forums here and found an outdated guide to the Dolphin emulator that did have a link pertaining to the WiiRD database but upon clicking the link I get a Google 404 error. I have been on the Gecko Codes website and see that there is a way to download both .txt and .gct files for games. Is there a way to get these into the Dolphin program? Thankfully I do know how to use the code search tools so I can perform some rather rudimentary game hacking for simple things like money and whatnot but these other problems elude me. I certainly understand that the program is still in development and I have prepared for the possibility that these features have not been fully integrated into the system but if they have and someone out there knows where I am going wrong I would be grateful for any advice.

Personally, I edit the game's config using the button on the bottom left hand corner of the game properties.

For Gecko codes, Dolphin provides the download button, but you can enter Gecko codes yourself too by editing the game config. Gecko GCT and TXT import is not implemented at this time.

Action Replay can be entered via the Game Properties or found using the Cheat Manager. Add the Action Replay codes in this format in the game config under the [ActionReplay] section. If the [ActionReplay] section does not exist, add it:

[ActionReplay]
$Sample AR cheat name
B7JB-ETHQ-87ZHX

Similarly, Gecko codes can be entered by editing the Game Config like so:

[Gecko]
$Sample Gecko cheat name
051EF59C 0000000A


Enable the cheat by placing a checkbox next to the Cheat back in the Game Properties window.

Dolphin will convert the AR code into its own internal format after you play the game.

There are also some threads that outline what to do (search the forum for "AR codes", "Action Replay", "Gecko" for more information):

Finally, remember to check the "Enable Cheats" option under Dolphin Configuration.
