Maybe your using a rom is not compatible. What I mean is the region type. Same thing happens to me. I run some cheats on mario 64 (U) version, but the cheats are meant for mario 64 (J) version. You understand?

yea, i'm having a similar problem with speed/run/sprint cheats in OOT 1.2 U. I rarely use cheats, and am unfamiliar with the GS stuff (apparently these are GS codes?). The rom came with a bunch of cheats already built in, and i've used those sucessfully by just checking the box in the cheat window. However, the sprint cheat wasn't in that list and I added it myself.

I have found a few different codes (for the right rom, v1.2 U) but none of them seem to work. Do I have to push the GS button or something to get it to work (that would be weird cause i don't need to for any of the built-in cheats)?

Also, a lot say to press D-down. I assumt this is down on the D-pad. Do i push it before I want to run, or as I am ronning? Do I need to hold it down? Also, some of the codes say to hold the R button, which is fawked since that activates the shield and link stops running.

Can anyone help out here? I can't stand link's speed when he is off the horse!

Here is one of the codes I have tried: D01C8B65 0010 801DB908 0042

Thanks!
