cheat.db but no select cheats.

A "cheat.db" file doesn't by itself allow for selecting any cheats. It only allows you to have PPSSPP extract cheats for the current game from that "cheat.db" file into a separate PPSSPP-style cheat ".ini" file for the current game. It's only when you have such a separate file with valid cheats in it that selection of those cheats is possible from the in-game cheats menu.

However, there are some things that can crash the emulator in processing cheats, either in trying to extract them from a cheat.db file, or in reading them in from a game-specific ".ini" file.

I'm not sure how it would work in that particular PPSSPP version, but I have had some versions crash when trying to extract cheats from a cheat.db game that contains no cheats for the current game. You should be able to check this by opening the cheat.db file in a normal text editor.

Another thing that can cause crashing in some emulator versions is if you have too many individual cheats in a ".ini" file for the current game. (But I'm still unclear on whether you even got so far as having a separate ".ini" file for the game.)

Finally, I assume that the emulator may also crash if running into garbage data while processing a cheat file (like if it was corrupted in download), which you should also be able to check in a text editor.

That's about all the tips I can think of for now, but perhaps someone else can fill in with more detailed experience on your particular game (which I don't use myself).

thanks for the my question.
