Metroid Prime 1.0 (GC) Cheats not working in 4.0.2 - Lucky Dearly - 01-24-2014
Hey all, just reporting in this bit of news though I don't know if it's been reported already but several Action Replay codes for the GC version of Metroid Prime won't work such as the Moon Jump code, Phazon beam code, the unlock fusion bonuses cheat (enables NES Metroid and the Fusion suit)
any ideas if a fix will be done or not?

There always tends to be cheats the don't work with dolphin

There are several reasons why cheats don't work in Dolphin. The most common cases I've seen are:
1: The cheats are for the wrong revision. This usually results in crashing, or odd effects. Sometimes it does nothing as well, but, they can be catastrophic
2: Dolphin's cheat handler does something wrong. See: Wind Waker MegaJump code.
3: Some Gecko Codes simply don't work in master. I don't think this affects GC games though.

Darn, well I hope a reversion in the future will fix this issue

You can always manually add your own cheats to Dolphin's list from the internet that you know are for your revision of the game...

I already knew how to do that. Just puzzled as to why certain cheats like moon jump and phazon beam don't work.
