Still can't add custom cheats

My simple cheat list with 2 Pokemon cheats isn't recognized by DraStic, but if I edit the default usrcheat.dat exactly like mine it works. Why? Removing all the junk there also make it stop working.
What makes the list viewable, so I can add it?

Maybe you got the game header/id wrong or it somehow got corrupted. make sure you are using r4cce

It shouldn't, or else none of my attempts would work after editing with R4CCE. Either there is a "cheat" that makes it compatible or DraStic doesn't know how to handle small files.

Possibly, ask exophase

Thanks, but I don't know how to call someone and PMs will only solve my problem. If someone can bring a more knowledgeable person here like Exophase or Lordus it would be very helpful.
Here:

urscheat1: Added a "Fefo" (search it) folder on Black 2 E/U with a random enconter and a always capture code, both modified from it. It works.
urscheat2: Removed everything but this, no further changes. It doesn't work.
I already voiced this issue before (couldn't find it until now, sorry for not bumping it):

Still no response. I believe this user is having the same problem:

Exophase PM'd me, but s/he doesn't know what's happening. A fix/solution is scheduled for a future update, so I'll be waiting.
Added another 2 databases to my Dropbox:

usrcheat3: Custom-made with a few cheats in 3 games.
usrcheat4: Deleted those games on DraStic's database and added mine.
None of those worked.

Found a low-tech solution at the cost of some sanity. Adding 41 games to the list (no cheats, names, nothing) made everything work. While I was trying to find this sweetspot several bugs happened: bugged cheatlists, cheats only in certain games, even a no prompt FC without even touching cheats.
Filesize? Games? Cheats? Dunno, my test was inconclusive and I'll avoid touching. For those who can bother themselves the list is in my Dropbox, have fun.
