Dolphin cheats?

I enabled cheats via the core options, and I copied the game settings file from dolphin to the game settings folder that’s inside the user folder in RetroArch, but the cheats won’t load. It works in Dolphin. The cheat I’m trying to use is a gecko code to play F-Zero AX hidden within F-Zero GX. Is there something else I need to do?

Just digging this to mention I’m in the same situation today on my switch.

I tried to use widescreen cheat on Wind Waker, but it’s not effective. Same goes with other “visible” cheats, as no HUD or giant/tiny Link

I’ve put my ini file in .\lakka\storage\savefiles\dolphin-emu\User\GameSettings.

Am I missing something?
