AR stands for action replay.
Now:
depends on cheat it self.
most cheats like infinite ammo ,infinite health etc which are done on gaming screen and are visible are done by patches tab [OnFrame] instead AR codes tab [ActionReplay]
it would mean codes would be applied to [OnFrame] in general config instead on [ActionReplay]
but there is a certain rule which must be followed in order to apply cheat to that place.
lets take re darkside chronicles for example:
usual code for AR is this:
in ar config it looks like this:
Code:
[ActionReplay] Add action replay cheats here.
$No Reload
040CDF0C 38600063
if enable it gets + in front of $
now that code wont work if applied to AR codes.and may as well crash the emulator as in your case.
BUT if u apply it to ON FRAME then it start working,
now here comes rule for ON FRAME
Code:
[OnFrame] Add memory patches to be applied every frame here.
$no reload
0x040CDF0C:dword:0x38600063
That's proper way of doing it. Enjoy.
do u see the difference?
P.S
almost forgot to mention.
it is important that u pay attention to which version of game are u applying codes to
NTSC codes do not match PAL version ,and Vice-versa.
different revisions of same game also might not work as well.always check
Code:
# SBDE08 - RESIDENT EVIL THE DARKSIDE CHRONICLES
that first numbers # SBDE08 which represent game version and revision.
Happy hunting
