How To Use Action Replay Codes On Dolphin 4.0.2 OSX - TheClassicGamer - 03-31-2014
Like the title says, I have no idea how to put action replay codes into Dolphin. I use a macbook pro, the latest version of Dolphin, and I run only gamecube games. I looked at the cheat manager but I have no clue how it works. It actually made my game crash once, I don't really know why.
So, can anybody help me out?
I'd really appreciate it!

I had no problem checking one of the included AR codes and using it in a game on a current build. You may want to try something more recent than 4.0, as that version actually has a few known bugs and we were without an OS X buildbot when 4.0.1/2 were released. Try a current development build. https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

Does it run smoothly? And how exactly do I make the cheat manager work?

No need to use DMs to ask me questions, it confuses me when people do that.
For more popular games, there's usually a pile of cheats preincluded. I just opened up Animal Crossing, clicked Tools > Cheats Manager, and checked that one that puts all the NES games in the Lost and Found. No crash, no effect on performance. Of course, if you're using Gecko cheats or making your own cheats from scratch, you may have more issues, but I don't really care to test *all* the cheat stuff when I have nothing to really test it on.

I tried to do that on Pokemon Colosseum, but the Cheats Manager is blank. Maybe because my games are opened from a folder, not listed in Dolphin itself. What should I do?
Thanks for the replies!

Add the folder in Config > Paths to have all your games show up in the game list. I'm not sure if Dolphin shows cheats for games that aren't in your game list – there's no reason why it shouldn't, but you can't really trust Dolphin to make sense.

My .iso files can't be clicked, and I don't know why

The cheat manager is still blank- how do I add codes myself?
Thanks!

Cheats Manager evidently doesn't have an option for that. The normal method is to right-click the game in your list, click Properties, and go to the AR Codes tab and click Add. That doesn't crash for me, so I guess it should be fine.
