I tried every possible Hook type with Gecko OS ver. 1.9.3.1 (the newest version I could find), but no codes ever work for Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth (USA Wiiware game).  It says that it found the codes and that it is applying them, but none of the codes are working.  Other people have gotten the codes to work for this game.  I can't figure out why it isn't working for me.  With all the other Wiiware/virtual console games I've played, when you select to Launch Channel (from Gecko OS main menu screen), it launches the game without going to the Wii main menu screen.  But with Castlevania: ReBirth, it always goes to the Wii main menu screen.  I had this problem with Contra: ReBirth, but when I changed the option of Force NTSC to "Yes", the codes worked for that game (and all other games too (besides this one)).  I tried downloading the .txt file from geckocodes.org and I tried making a .txt file in Notepad, but neither way works (they work for other games though).

I followed the tutorial for the 4.2U Wii system and I set it up with no copy flags for gamesaves, region free, and no system updates.  I did everything that the guide said to do (except for some optional stuff, like setting it up for DVD-R games).

Here is the latest .txt file I created in Notepad for Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth:

"WD9E
Castlevania the Adventure ReBirth

Invincible
0409F5A0 FC013040

Inf Lives
C20187D0 00000002
38000009 9004001C
60000000 00000000"

I cannot figure out why all other Virtual Console and Wiiware games work with codes, but not this one.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

When you load Gecko OS, how long does it take for the Gecko OS menu to display (about 2 seconds or a few seconds long than that)?  And after Gecko OS has loaded, does it say "Using IOS 249" or "Using IOS 35" under the menu?

It doesn't say anything about using an ISO.  It takes about 2-3 seconds to launch after I select "Load".  I am now also having trouble with codes for Castlevania 3 (USA ver.).  I tried adding "00" to the end of the Game ID, I tried different spacing of the lines and different formats for the Game Title (i.e. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Castlevania III Dracula's Curse), but the codes never work.  I first tried the codes I downloaded directly from GeckoCodes.org (the official site), but they didn't work.  I downloaded them onto my PC and then put them on my SD memory card.   Other game codes that I have downloaded and that I have made in Notepad work fine, it's just codes for Castlevania: Rebirth and Castlevania 3 that do not work.  It says "SD codes found" and it says "applying codes", but then it goes to the Wii main menu screen (the "Press A to Continue" screen).  With all other games, it loads up the game right away and doesn't even go to the Wii main menu screen.  I just recently played Bonk 1, 2, & 3 with codes that I downloaded from GeckoCodes.org (the official site) and they worked fine.  I can't figure out why codes work with some games, but not others.  Any info on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

EDIT: BTW, I am using Cheat Manager Ver. 0.3.  Is there a newer version out?
