problems with AR

[dariocheca]

i have a problem in resident evil zero when i use the AR codes:
i get the key to dining room and cant open the door...
i thought i had a bad iso so i started a new game with cheats disabled and everything was ok, so later i turned on the cheats on and could not open another locked room and i had the key.

does anybody had this problem??

my RE is the PAL version and i use build r3661

Can please post an AR log of the codes you used? They might use some buggy parts of the AR simulator.
Tools > Action Replay Manager > Logging
enable the logged before running the game. Thanks.

Just experienced this issue, and then i found this thread.
I have only 3 cheats enabled, so I decided to see if it was a specific one which made the doors un-openable (the others work fine), and sure enough found one which enables infinite number of saves. I'm using the PAL version of RE0, and SVN R 3978 of Dolphin.

Here's the AR log as you requested:

The cheats use normal Ram filling so I know that AR command works, but I have experience some codes in game not working, I think the Core of dolphin is preventing some cheats to work right like if some ram is strangely protected by dolphin itself or there are timing problems, like the code needs to write in ram before the game does, in dolphin it might be writing it too late.

Action replay support is still a bit buggy, some codes don't work (For example the all items in chest code for Remake), and some codes cause weird glitches or bugs that don't exist on the real console when using the action replay.

It seems that you ran into one of these cheats, I've had similar problems with cheats on other games.
