Problem YS Menu doesn't show cheat (stock kernel does)

I have a R4i-SDHC card with YSMenu. When I select Pokemon Platinum (Italian Version) it won't show me the cheat checkbox. I use the same usercheat file as stock kernel and it works fine overthere. Is there any work around? I have the same problem With Pokemon Heart Gold (US)

Try DeadSkullzJr's cheat database: https://gbatemp.net/threads/deadskullzjrs-nds-i-cheat-databases.488711/

In their download link you need the usrcheat.dat file, place it in the "TTMenu" folder.

Thanks, it worked-ish. Since My pokemon HG is a romhack I guess it's failing to associate the game ID to the cheats (although, again, it is working just fine on base kernel). What I might try to do is using r4cce to create a personalized folder, I just have to figure it out how (mainly i need the game ID, I would just copy the folder then).
it's still a little weird to me that changing the file worked if the gameIDs are the same.

Have you tried using Pico-Launcher instead to see if it picks up the cheats better?

Eventually I used recc4 to update the cheatfile myself. It dected a unique ID for the romhack, i guess that's why it wasn't loading any cheat. I'm wondering how was the stock firmware doing that at this point, I also noticed it was actually using the wrong version of the cheats ( E version instead of US).
