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:

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

Since it starts in TWL mode now, do DSi enhanced games (like the Gen 5 Pokemon games) work? Or are they still broken since it reverts to NTR mode?

My Black 2 doesn't launch through Nitrohax still.
Neither was my issue with Soul Silver fixed...

Soul Silver works for me, so maybe you have a bad AR code (or two).

why it stucks at "Loading Codes"?

It works for me too, through Nitrohax. But only through Nitrohax. The cartridge icon is blank and when I launch the game normally, it blackscreens after I load my saved game or starter a new game and finish the professor introduction. It doesn't go away when I remove Nitorhax, but it functions perfectly well on my other, non-hacked console, so I guess Nitrohax must have some weird leftover influence on my n3DS even after I remove it. I have no idea what it might be.

It probably has to do with the patches you have to apply in order to get Nitrohax to work. Try installing the latest version of Nitrohax then disabling/removing the patch since the newest version doesn't need the patches.

Oh, that's exactly what I hoped for with this version. But no, it didn't help.

 

[Apache Thunder]

TWL games do not work with NitroHax currently. Not because of the mode it uses or switches to. but because the card init code is old and crappy. One day it will be fixed. Hopefully when that happens DSi Enhanced games will have full support. Since it boots in TWL mode, it would be simple to simply stay in TWL mode for DSi Enhanced games once support for them is properly implemented. This is more of a long term goal. Don't expect it anytime soon.

why it stucks at "Loading Codes"?

Sounds like the code xml you used is too large. use a smaller one. Must be 2.5MB or less. The larger it is, the longer it takes to load. Too large and it just hangs.

 

[Feroz El Mejor]

Can anyone make an stupid guide to use this for me?

I have the last luma version, I used New Super Mario Bros (DS) with the cia of NitroHax on the emunand and it gave me black screen.

I need more files on the SD card or something?

 

[Apache Thunder]

If using emunand, you need to also install NitroHax to sysnand else it won't work. TWL_FIRM does not have emunand patches.

Nice, it worked! Thanks!


Edit:
Sorry, I mean that the program worked, but I don't know how to put the cheats.

I have my usrcheat.dat, but I don't know if I have to put that or other files, it asks for xml files, but I can't find any of they :\

 

[Apache Thunder]

The cheat.xml is included in the (now outdated) link to NitroHax on the first post of this thread.

I just tried to play with this online, using an Action Replay and it totally crashes when conects into wifi (Mario Kart DS).

If this isn't going to work for that, is going to be released something to use the real cartridges online (without buying anything) like a homebrew for 3DS instead of a cia?

 

[pdapanda]

Why does the new build use another ID？
Also， since its size increased，the original cheats.xml is not usable.

Tested wifi via a patched rom and it didn't crash. (booted gateway blue cart via NitroHax)

I don't own a legit cart of this game. But the wifi itself is functional. Might be bad cheat codes?

As for the XML issue. That's a known issue. I have told ahezard about it. The XML loading system is not optimized very well and needs to be rewritten anyway. Hopefully ahezard will have time to fix that soon.

Until then, just strip out all the games you don't own. I have an XML with jut 3 or 4 games and it works fine.

 

[hacksn5s4]

put nitro hax on title.db so the homebrew browser can download it

New release of NitroHax:

https://github.com/ahezard/NitroHax/releases/tag/0.97.NTR

UI graphics updated to a new theme. (graphics courtesy of I'mReallyShiny)

The hang issue with large XMLs should be fixed for good now. Note however if you select a XML via the filebrowser it will still use the old load method so it will hange if the XML is larger then 800 or 900KB in that instance. But if it loads via the default path it should be fine.

With this version games dont launch now, i used mario party ds and freezes after i press start :/ (old version works fine)

 

[Apache Thunder]

NitroHax still boots the carts I have, so I don't know how yours stopped working. Maybe a change with the cheat codes you are using?

 

[JuanmaHL]

The 0.96 version works but 0.97 no. I will try to compile it btw
PD: Compiling by myself didnt work too , only the 0.96 boots the cartidge (Mario Party DS)

 

[Apache Thunder]

Build 0.98 now available:

https://github.com/ahezard/NitroHax/releases/tag/0.98.NTR

This build now includes the enhancements from NTR Launcher that should improve game compatibility. (though the changes will mostly help flashcarts for now). TWL carts still will not work.

The 0.96 version works but 0.97 no. I will try to compile it btw

Retest with 0.98.NTR. I included the improved card reset scheme from NTR Launcher. Hopefully should resolve your problem.
