A free alternative to Action Replay cheating devices for Nintendo DS games, Nitrohax, has been released in CIA format to work on the Nintendo 3DS. Download below, and this video made by @Apache Thunder and recorded by @Sasori will show it off!

​

Also:

Don't forget, that you currently need dev Luma3DS 6.0 or newer CFW and patched TwlBg.cxi before you can use this. So if you get the fat init failed error you don't patched dev launcher yet. More on that here:

https://github.com/ahezard/twl_firm_patcher

and a guide to use it here https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-use-twl_firm_patcher.438703

B-but your script is meep

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

yes

Very true, The script is very odd

Incorrect you cant seem to export XML's

You can find the xmls in the Datel Folder in your Documents Folder
C:\Users\"Your Username"\Documents\Datel\Action Replay DSi Code Manager\local_codelists

If we could do this, couldn't we make a action replay for 3ds games?

 

[PRAGMA]

I got the TwlBg.cxi added and now it can load fat init but it cant find the cheat list, Where do I put it and how do I format it?

Never heard of NTR? That CFW allows for cheats.

The script gives me an empty file, even though I have Python installed. It says 'cp' is not recognized as a command. I don't really know diddly about python, so is there some preliminary step I'm missing here?

Will this work on an R4i Gold Card?

Whoops I forgot to do that. Sorry

Ok, I think I managed to get twlBg.cxi, but now I'm stuck at actually patching it in via these instructions:
https://github.com/ahezard/twl_firm_patcher
Of the three "enabler programs" listed, two of them seem to require an R4 (which I don't have), and with the other one, I can't figure out how to compile it since the readme is basically useless and the build_cia.bat doesn't seem to work. Does setting all this up just require an R4? I was kind of assuming that this was a way to not have to use one. :/

You don´t need it on my n3ds i only generated the cxi and can use Cheats

 

[Frezgle]

Well, mind telling me how you patched it, then? I have mine in luma/sysmodules but booting Nitrohax just gives me a blank white screen.

It doesnt seem to be needed just put the file in sysmodules or whatever it is and it works for me
Havent actually tried a code yet but im about to

 

[Tacosaregood]

Could someone tell me what twlBg.cxi is? (Ignore this I found it out for myself.)

 

[otto888]

Can anyone confirm the MD5 for a N3DS "twlBg.cxi", assuming they're all the same? I'm just getting a white screen when trying to start any DS app after putting the cxi in luma/sysmodules.

I did try re-making the file and now Nitrohax DOES open, but now once I tell it to open a game with a code on (tried both Pokemon Pearl and NSMB), it just hangs on the screen with the colored squares on the bottom. So close, yet so frustrating!

EDIT: So, having no card in the slot when you boot Nitrohax is actually very important! I tried doing it like in the video in the OP and it worked like a charm.
Pokemon Black doesn't seem to work at all though; and I have no idea how to implement the firmware it's asking for on something like this haha. Oh well.

I got an error on converting my firmware_twl.bin file 0-0

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

how do I do this???

 

[jimmyleen]

No, only with real cartridge for cheat codes. If you have a linker, you can use the cheat feature of your flashcard...
But yep, you can launch it...

You are wrong, read the server.txt read me it clearly says:

"If you wish to connect to an alternate Nintendo WFC server, you will need to:

Dump your game rom using Decrypt9(or download it, if you are a pirate...)

Run it through WfcReplay, found here: https://github.com/Prof9/WfcReplay

Copy the code into a .xml file(just remove all the newlines and put it into the template in the archive)

Rename it to cheat.xml and run NitroHax, select the code, and run the game!"

Obviously I know NTRcfw but those plugins are compiled. These cheats are much simpler in plain text.
