    What flashcard do you have?
    I tested this both on my own M3Real and my neighbours DSTT who had same issues (freezing multiplayer with ARM-patched etc) and after this solution it both worked as a charm on both systems.

    Step 1) Buy a Firecard
    Step 2) Download the GTACW ROM
    Step 3) Extract and place on card via drag-n-drop
    Step 4) Play and enjoy

    I have an R4 and when I go to the "cheats" screen, there is no option to "bypass save." The options are: "select all,""select none,""real-time on/off enable,"'game enable,""cheat enable,""save and exit," and "discard and exit." Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    JW, you have to use the d-pad and the buttons in order to navigate through the cheat sections on the top screen. All of the cheat folders are minimized by default (you know, the little plus symbol next to the folder), you need to maximize those folders in order to see all of the cheats contained therein, and then put a check in the box next to the cheat or cheats you want to activate.

    Once you're done, you then press the "Save and Exit" button on the bottom screen.

    Thanks pugmalion1! It didn't even cross my mind that those boxes expanded (dumb, I know). I've had my R4 for at least a year and this is the first time I've ever even used the "cheats" option.

    I appreciate your help and quick response!

    In my TTDS cheats section, there are many other cheats about stuff like Drugs, wanted level, taxi missions etc., but none about bypassing anti-piracy/being able to save. I downloaded the latest cheats (March 29) from GBA temp. The anti-piracy/save cheats were there for FFCC: Echoes of Time but not for Chinatown. Any help?

    Did you look under the "misc." cheats? That's where I found the "bypass save" cheat for my R4.

    Do you have the latest firmware on your cart?

    Also, I wonder if the game still needs an arm7 patch, even with the save protection bypass enabled...

    I'm going to switch over to this method later on tonight. I'll keep you posted.

    hey

    Your guide looks pretty good.. but i'm not getting a result. :(

    basically, i've put the latest cheat database in the system folder on my r4 (v 1.18), and downloaded the rom from romulation which you mentioned (unclean, US version) BUT when i switch on the ds.. open the directory.. go to the game and press y for cheats.. it says no cheats!

    is there something i've missed?

    thanks.

    (and.. cheats work for mario and sonic at the olympics.. but only that game)

    Hey iNillus, thanks a lot for this post, however multiplayer (wireless) modes (all of them) on my firmware updated CyClo DS freezes minutes or even seconds after the game begins, at seems like your the only one around who got it right, you think you can suggest anything that will allow me to enjoy this awesome game?

    TECH SPECS

    - Nintendo DS Lite
    - CyClo DS latest update(1.54)
    - regarding the GTA version, is the one from the link you posted no patches or anything (Clean USA version)

    thats about it, the mintues we do get to play (before it freezes) are too much fun to give this up!!!!

    thanks alot hope you can help me
