Tips for Using Pokémon Emerald Cheats

Cheats are fun, but they may crash your game if you don’t follow best practices. Here’s how to use Pokémon Emerald cheats safely:

1. Use cheats sparingly. Too many cheats can cause file corruption or game crashes. If you have a corrupted file, disabling cheats won’t help restore the game, and you’ll need to start over.
2. Save your game. Make sure you save your game before using cheats. This way, if something goes wrong, you can always come back to the pre-cheat point.
3. Turn off after use. Did you use a cheat code to gain a specific item? Turn the cheat off to prevent crashes and ensure the item stays in your inventory.

Cheat Troubleshooting Tips

If you try using a cheat and it doesn’t work, check this:

• Does the code’s end have any empty spaces? Try removing them.
• Are you using Emerald V1.0? Cheats work better on V1.0 vs. V1.1.
• Did you select the right cheat type? If you aren’t sure, try the Android app My Boy.

Finally, GameShark cheats often won’t work on GBA4iOS, and there’s not much you can do to fix this problem.
