Unable to use cheats (SOLVED)

I am trying to use Action Replay cheats on a game, but it is not working. I guess the reason why it's not working is because I'm running an extracted game. If I load it via main.dol, I can't use cheats, meanwhile I can use cheats fine if I use the regular iso file. Please help!

Do you have "enable cheats" checked?

Yes. As I said, it will work fine if I don't load it from main.dol

What is the game?

Resident Evil Archives (RE4E08)

If you are using cheats normally when booting the normal ISO, then why bother using that file? Just do it the normal way. Tongue

I need to load it via main.dol due to modding purposes.

Try making a copy of the game ini named 000000.ini.

nvm, that won't work.

No luck.

Yeah, my bad. Here's a quick hack that should make it work though.

Code:
diff --git a/Source/Core/Core/Boot/Boot.cpp b/Source/Core/Core/Boot/Boot.cpp

index 7691421..676342a 100644

--- a/Source/Core/Core/Boot/Boot.cpp

+++ b/Source/Core/Core/Boot/Boot.cpp
