Some games have different cartridge IDs, so even if the game is in the codelist the device may report “Game Unknown”. Updating the codelist and firmware can resolve this.
Turn off the console with the cartridge inserted, turn it on, hold A+B, then hold START+SELECT for about 10 seconds until the codelist shows 0 games and 0 codes.
Enter UPDATE mode on the device, connect via USB, then press the “AUTO UPDATE” button in the Code Manager software to download and install the latest firmware and software.
