Most likely there aren't any godes for the game you are searching for. For my 3 games, only The Wind Waker gets codes, while Pokemon XD and OOT (the GC one, not the VC one).

Go to http://geckocodes.org/ and search for your game and compare the Game ID, if you get any results.

(Question to the devs: Why are the first 4 characters used when the game id doesn't start with either G, R or S? This breaks D43P01 (Pal GC OOT))

It's supposed to use four characters for Virtual Console and WiiWare games. I don't think there's any particular reason it's checking the game ID instead of actually checking the game type. Thanks for bringing this to my attention – I'll try to get it fixed.

I think you may be right. I jsut checked the versions. I am running RMCECT for MArio Kart, and the codes are for another version. Back to the drawing board. !
